"Incel" is the perfect term for him. I would also have accepted "low-value male" or "virgin".

INB4 someone says it's fatphobic to make fun of obese JD Vance edits. If you don't want to be made fun of, take better care of yourself.

Honestly, we need to stop being so squeamish about making fun of men by deliberately misgendering them.

Exactly. This has the same vibe as when online dudebros whine "Men can be sexually harassed too!! 😭😭" even though that's literally a contradiction in terms.
comment in response to
post
Exactly. I got called fatphobic the other day just for correctly pointing out that incels are obese degenerates who don't take care of themselves.
I dunno what to tell you. If you don't want to be held accountable for your own health, maybe lay off the Big Macs?

That is, I'm trying to take it to such an extreme that people start noticing and pushing back. Sometimes people push back against the things I post, and I'm always glad when they do. Similarly, I'm disappointed when my posts get likes and agreement from others.

Since you ask: I noticed left and progressive spaces have a blind spot to blatantly hateful posts as long as they're framed as "holding men accountable". I want to bring attention to how harmful this is.
Some would describe this account as parody or trolling, but my main goal is innoculation.

Nope. It's good for society to get boys used to being told they don't deserve respect. It forces them to earn it, like the rest of us have to.
Sorry if you're so entitled that you see any accountability at all as "abusive".

It's like, wow, way to have your priorities straight. If you want people to stop making fun of you online, maybe lay off the Big Macs?

As always, when they say "the left is ostracizing young men", what they really mean is "waaah, I, a man, am being held accountable for being a piece of shit!"
What's really awful appropriate progressive language to do it. I got called "fatphobic" the other day for referring to "fat, lazy incels".

Exactly. Boys need to learn from a young age that they aren't welcome in society until they've gotten their shit together and PROVEN that they have value.
comment in response to
post
For that matter, where is the concern that the LEFT is ostracizing women? Literally every online leftist community cries about what needs to be done about young men.
How about: screw 'em, let them kill each other and worry about our own problems.

Exactly. Who cares what the gender that's already on third base thinks about anything? We all know how all men are going to answer this kind of survey anyway.
comment in response to
post
Exactly. Comments like this are a symptom of how society bends over backwards to ensure no man or boy ever experiences a consequence of his own actions.
We need to invalidate and dismiss boys' and men's claims of being mistreated, early and often.
comment in response to
post
Wow, you're seriously doubling down and using the word "misandry" unironically.
Let me guess. Do you also believe in the "male loneliness epidemic"?
comment in response to
post
Literally nobody on the left has ever attacked men. As always, you're just perceiving basic accountability as an attack.
It is so fucking exhausting how everyone bends over backwards to protect men from any accountability.
comment in response to
post
Not to mention misogynistic. Some "centrist" concern troll recently tried to call me fatphobic for criticizing obese men for not taking care of themselves and being a burden on the women around them. If you don't want people being mean to you, maybe lay off the Big Macs?
comment in response to
post
I mean, yeah, unironically you SHOULD grind some minimal amount in order to prove your value to society like we all do. Sorry if your entitlement makes you blind to the consequences of your own laziness.
comment in response to
post
Wow, I'm glad you have your priorities straight about what's really important: defending shitty men when people on the internet mildly criticize them in a way that you consider impolite.
comment in response to
post
It is especially not supposed to make MEN feel good. I am so sick of men using the "Patriarchy hurts men too!" excuse for their own financial, social, or health problems.
comment in response to
post
Exactly -- as far as I'm concerned, men can do whatever they want with their bodies. But the INSECURITY of it is the real turn-off. There's nothing more unattractive than a man who basically admits he's insecure.
comment in response to
post
Not to mention they won't put the work into taking care of themselves and being fat and lazy, self-destructing while claiming they can't afford therapy, and acting surprised that the world correctly finds them repulsive.
comment in response to
post
Wow, we've been talking about the fascist-adjacent culture of crypto bros, but sure, the REAL nazis are the ones criticizing them for it. Amazing take.
comment in response to
post
This is about manosphere hustle culture. How am I an "activist for Republicans" for holding men accountable for their own failings? Genuinely curious.
comment in response to
post
If you have a bad job pr you're homeless, especially of you're a 25-year-old man with society starting you on third base, it's because you deserve it, probably because of deep moral failings on yout part. That's what we're all saying. Can't you get it through your head?
comment in response to
post
Exactly. Whenever a guy complains about poverty or people financially struggling, it's a huge red flag, and it's pretty safe to assume that he just wants his free state-provided Lambo.
comment in response to
post
Sure, but this is about privileged young men falling for crypto scams and, deservedly, losing their money because of it. Not about poverty in general.
comment in response to
post
My goal is to criticize power structures, which means criticizing patriarchy, which, in practice, means holding men accountable for their failings and abuses. Sorry if that's difficult for you to grasp.
comment in response to
post
Exactly. If you're a 25-year-old man who's struggling financially, it's your fault for being a shitty person who provides no value to the world. Sucks to suck.
comment in response to
post
Your "narrow worldview" ignores the fact that most of the young men complaining don't have any of the excuses you listed. The reason they struggle to pay rent is because employers correctly notice that they're not worth hiring, not for any tragic or serious reason.

How is it a "narrow worldview" to hold men accountable for the consequences of their own actions and inaction? Genuinely curious.
comment in response to
post
Funny how men always seem to become experts on the numbers for any subject when they can use it as an excuse for their own failings.
comment in response to
post
So, all the typical male excuses: not taking care of himself, being a shitty husband, not keeping up with world events, etc. and making that everyone else's problem.
comment in response to
post
What other excuse is there? My experience is that men suddenly become experts in systemic economic injustice when they have to come up with excuses for being broke.
Like you said: they failed the marshmallow test. Sucks to suck.
comment in response to
post
Sure -- the point is, if you end up failing to pay the rent, it's your fault for failing to provide any value to society.
comment in response to
post
What do you mean? I'm just agreeing with you about these guys spouting whining bullshit.
comment in response to
post
Exactly. I'm so sick of men complaining about poverty and having trouble paying rent when they could just make a decent living in the trades. There's honestly no excuse for a man to be poor other than a failing of moral character.

Don't knock college - it made him skilled at posting bad takes online.
comment in response to
post
Yeah, it's so pathetic how men won't lift themselves up by their bootstraps anymore.
PSA: If you're a man and you're financially struggling, it's your fault for sucking.
comment in response to
post
I bet he got a university education because someone told him it would lead to a career, when really, all education does is make men post bad takes online. What a fucking dork.
comment in response to
post
Wow, you strike me as a typical man who blames everyone else for your struggling.
Newsflash: You're not poor because of some systemic injustice, bro. You're poor because you chose to be poor. Sucks to suck.
comment in response to
post
It's always the "male loneliness epidemic", never the "female" or "nonbinary" loneliness epidemic. Don't be naive.
Or do. And keep defending AI bros who think ChatGPT will solve problems caused by lonely people (usually men) choosing to be shitty.
comment in response to
post
Yeah, I agree. So sick of entitled crypto bros refusing to lift themselves up by their bootstraps when life has already put them on third base.
If you're a man and you're poor, it's your fault. Sucks to suck.
comment in response to
post
Yes, because I am able to perceive reality.
You strike me as the kind of person who believes those "male loneliness epidemic" op-eds where some loser tries to argue that men are entitled to women's bodies because they're sad, ignoring the fact that there's a REASON people end up lonely.
comment in response to
post
Really should have left as soon as she found out he was broke. Given that society puts men on third base, being broke is a huge red flag that there's something seriously wrong with him as a person.
comment in response to
post
How is it a shit take to hold people (especially men, since it always seems to be callled the "male loneliness epidemic") accountable for choosing to be repulsive? Genuinely curious.
comment in response to
post
Wow, you're literally comparing poverty with choosing to be a repulsive person.
comment in response to
post
Yep, especially male nerds with "social anxiety" in spite of society bending over backwards to cater to them.
Frankly, if a guy isn't sexually active by the time he's 18, that's a red flag about his quality as a human being, and he might as well call it quits after that.
