This came to mind reading the thread about Chris Avellone's metoo response.
His accuser: https://miro.medium.com/max/1310/1*FFIXCEmICYAr1-XjH5GlLw.png
8 years ago, she superficially seems fairly normal, kind of cute. Today her twitter has BLM fists, WEARAMASK, pronouns in bio, danger hair, anti-fascist, anti-racist, resists, yadda yadda. You name it, she's got it. Her profile pic is deliberately a picture that makes her look like rabidly angry harridan. (She's also protected her tweets as of today.)
We all know the SJW movement is female driven. I think even SJWs admit that.
What happened to this girl in the last 8 years? Has she realized that society sucks? That her own life sucks? Her obsession with cons, consumerism, and then social justice has left her feeling empty?
Isn't that basically the MGTOW/Incel position? Society and my life sucks, and I'm checking out.
So... are SJWs basically the equivalent of MGTOW and Incels? Are SJWs the female expression of "my life sucks and society sucks and I don't know what to do about it."?
I guess the difference would be that many parts of MGTOW are ostensibly about internal self-improvement, while SJWs' focus is entirely external -- "improving" society.
Side note: "Femcel" is an impossible thing. For any female who wants to get some, there is a male thirsty enough to do it
No, there's no such thing. MGTOW is a response to what women are, and what they do to innocent people.
These people are just fucking sadists. They hold the mask for a while to get into people's trust, then drop it hard and go all out attack.
I'm not a fan of anyone who chooses to identify as incel -- MGTOW I have no problem with, and I think many people can benefit from the emphasis on self improvement. I've been rightly corrected that incel != MGTOW, and there's not much of an overlap.
I think it's more than that too. It's performative justice. Generally, every additional word you have to add to describe something makes it less important and less real. Social justice? I care about JUSTICE. Racial equity? What's wrong with EQUITY.
So let's say "you" are genuinely an incel -- meaning you seriously can't get laid, for whatever reason.
Why make that your defining characteristic? Why spend your life obsessing over that fact? Move on. Hell, hire a prostitute. It seems to me as if incels are putting pussy on a pedestal.
