Incels furious at TV show for accurately depicting incel culture

Incel is such an oddly self reinforcing thing. As I recall it the term started as a self identification (I can't get laid, there for am an involuntary-celibate), which ended up with these self ID people declaring someone else is at fault for their situation, then that attitude got so pervasive it became a given term (you can't get laid BECAUSE you're an incel).

Morphing of language and all, similar happened with 'woke'. Either way, if these folks could comprehend a simple fact that the one person you can demand change of is yourself then maybe they could get out of that cycle.

Not the onion. Check any of the forums on reddit, like r/mensrights, and they're furious indeed.

I had to explain to someone what the manosphere is, as a result of watching this show together. She had no idea that men were getting radicalized like this.

“It’s a hit job,” said one Reddit user, who goes by the username DarkMageOfTruth99.

Oh geez I snorted so hard at the username I farted

I identify as an incel. I don't visit the incel web spaces though and I don't blame women for it.

I'm an incel because I can't afford to date. Like every week I'm barely able to get by living in poverty. Dating takes time and at least some money. If I got a little more of either, I'd have to use it to better my situation before dating.

I bring this point up because, as toxic as incel culture is, I rarely see it tied back to the shitty economy. Just people pointing fingers at each other as though the Male Loneliness phenomenon were entirely the result of people's personalities.

I would call Adolescence a very surface-level view of incel culture. It's fairly accurate, but you'd need a much longer series to truly get the culture across. Contrapoints' video on incels is a really good breakdown of the mindset.

Adolescence is an incredible and immersive experience. Stephen Graham deserves to be showered with awards for this. It's all about the micro-expressions in his performance.

I had no idea that incel was a term that people used to self-identify.

I thought it was only a slur.

The world doesn't guarantee you anything.

In the history of our species, only about 20-30% of males have managed to reproduce, so what's with the sad face?

You're not entitled to anything, so own your inceldom.

Huh, I always thought Incel culture was c. diff.

Obviously a parody site but Adolescence is a powerful drama worth watching.

Incel tv show = scroll reddit

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022)

I dated an incel years ago for around 18 months. Dunno if anyone's interested in that, but just a random anecdote I have

"This portrayal of the incel lifestyle and attitude is totally inaccurate! I think and act just like that guy and i'm not an incel..."

/s

Is it actually worthwhile or just another attempt to spark more conflict between men and women?

Because honestly I can hardly see as anything more than a way to profit off demonizing men that I assume already feel abandoned and, correct me if Im wrong, are not getting much support either

May I please get a summary on their take somewhere?

They should be more mad at The Residence using 'The Fall of the House of Usher' for the first episode instead of one of Poe's actual mysteries.

Dude, how a useless piece of shit you have to be to not be able to even get a date with a woman. Dude, being ugly is not a complete excuse, ugly women have worse time in the dating scene.

It’s not a culture. Do they have their own songs and their own food and dishes? Maybe a folk lore or art?
