The whole incel movement naturally feeds into the moral superiority complex of the progressives, especially the women, which are, in fact, the core cohort for same. That these men can't find a date because modern dating culture is gynocentric in the extreme is so far outside the bubble these women live in it might as well be from Mars.

As a result, we get stories like this.

The sad thing of it is, stories like this just make the incel culture worse, because now they are getting Pidgeon holed as violent terrorists who just hate women. The professional class progressives doing the Pidgeon holing never think about what incels will do if they are ostracized even further from society, because progressives never think about consequences of their actions.

I think the ostricization is on purpose. To manufacture 'right wing incels' so they can create the problem and sell a terrible solution with a political cudgel. 'See! We need to have tighter retrictions on all men' etc.

Though... Maybe with the trans loophole, there will always be an out on paper haha. Angry terrorist right wing incels out there (all 3 of you), always make sure you have a trans flag on you. Then the media will pretend you don't exist.

I wouldn't surprise if the Leftists decided that they could use this as an opportunity to regulate both men's privacy and political dissent. Don't have enough women who can vouch for your character? Gotta put you on a list, have random searches of your house, and ban them from communicating online.

It's a far-fetched idea, but so is most of the shit they normally do.

I don't think the blanket online ban for 'problematic men' is too far fetched at all. They've been trying to co-opt, infiltrate, demonize male-dominated spaces for decades. The language is already in place. Safetyism the religion de jour.

Anytime a dude gets a large, young male audience, the global establishment aligns to start tearing them down. Even if it's just YouTube dummies like Pewdiepie or Asmongold.

It wasn't even ever a movement. It was a subreddit that dared to exist on Reddit, where women also exist and thereby feel "unsafe" that those gross types are allowed to speak one click away from them.

Like, its an oft forgotten piece of this little cultural history that it was literally memed into being this big "thing" by people all across Reddit whining endlessly about the incel board being allowed to exist and speak, with them constantly posting everything there around as a "LOOK AT THIS STUPID/EVIL THING" freakshow.

Then there was that one shooter who was assigned the label "incel" (not Elliot Rodger, that was years earlier, a canadian one I believe) and suddenly every news media was using the word and now its the boogeyman for the Left and Women second only to Trump.

And now any man who complains about women is an incel, because sexist/misogynist lost its flair a decade ago, to the point where it doesn't even make sense how an involuntary celibate is somehow a married father of many.

It existed for a while, that's one of the reasons why everyone got so testy and pissy and all the various SRS types would post about it daily asking why it wasn't banned. It had a decent history before being noticed, and then was able to limp for some time.

And then yeah it got banned, which I'm sure just made all those guys instantly go improve their lives and stop hatin'.
