You write "femcel" a lot but I don't see where you're getting that from? Her hatred of men doesn't seem to stem from a lack of ability to find sexual partners. Plus, she's 15. I'm not sure you can call someone under the age of consent an incel

tumescentnumpty.bsky.social•71 days ago

Femcel is in the article twice, once in the title leading in to this section and this section.

katetastrophe.bsky.social•71 days ago

It's also in the post before the link and later in the article it says "both sides of the incel war" ie. incels and femcels

people don't know what femcel means, that's why lmao.

misteredwin.bsky.social•71 days ago

She's weird, socially isolated and spent too much time on the internet clearly driven mad by her own insecurities. I'd say femcel fits, even if sex wasn't what she desired, she obviously desired some kind of attention/connection that she wasn't getting.

tsudhonimh.bsky.social•71 days ago

Femcel? At FIFTEEN, which is below the age of consent. A rough time for teenagers, but I think you can find a better word.

jessicat.bsky.social•71 days ago

it's below the age of consent for adults. they can't consent to adults, and I know this might sound weird, but they do often have sex with other 15 year olds.

if two 15 year olds have consensual sex (and you believe they cannot consent because they're 15) then which 15 year old is guilty of rape?

tsudhonimh.bsky.social•71 days ago

In most states, neither one.

jessicat.bsky.social•71 days ago

yes exactly

jessicat.bsky.social•71 days ago

and I think being a *cell has gone beyond the involuntary celibate definition

it was actually coined by a woman decades ago and then misappropriated by the toxic young males who can't get a girlfriend because they're misogynists movement and has since developed into a few unique online communities

jessicat.bsky.social•71 days ago

kind of like how not all white supremacists are technically nazis, the kkk is a good example

some people might say "hey, you can't call klansmen nazis just because you don't like them" but we all know they're from the same online communities like pol and stormfront that are recognized for nazis

katetastrophe.bsky.social•71 days ago

She had a boyfriend too so I really don't know why he's calling her that.
It seems like he's using "femcels" the same way the right wingers are using trans people here...

tsudhonimh.bsky.social•71 days ago

The enabler here was not her wearing black, or even her interest in school shooters, but the person/s who made the gun so easy to get.

katetastrophe.bsky.social•71 days ago

Her dad was clearly not paying enough attention to her behaviour and mannerisms. No way was she acting normal with such deep routed hatred

unstablemongoose.bsky.social•71 days ago

If you’d bother reading the article before criticizing the author, you’d know that the person’s writing was shot through with all the weird words that only incels/femcels use.

tsudhonimh.bsky.social•71 days ago

I did read the article.

catoochie.online•70 days ago

except it wasn't her writing, it was a lie.

phragmosisjones.bsky.social•71 days ago

thank you, this is really helpful context for why I keep seeing seeing people spamming this particular set of bizarre claims in people's comments

luigithirty.bsky.social•72 days ago

is this what it's like to be Winston Smith

dharmachameleon.bsky.social•71 days ago

Actual “Feminazis” as Limbaugh coined, but real this time. Crazy. Kids beed to put down the phones and internet and go play kickball/dodgeball/ build treehouses and develop social resilience.

yazikus.bsky.social•72 days ago

This is a good piece, @hungrybowtie.bsky.social - put a lot of things together for me. Thanks for taking the time to spell it out.

kddean.bsky.social•71 days ago

Whole lot of people commenting here clearly didn't read the article. Great job everyone, you're definitely coming away with the correct conclusion

nategarciaaa.bsky.social•71 days ago

Her background is irrelevant. Kids should be able to carry guns at schools, no one is serious about protecting them.

megalithic-xyster.bsky.social•71 days ago

Man, with how common the “trans shooter” reality tunnel is getting, how soon will a shooter’s manifesto includes a preemptive insistence that they’re not trans?

tedraymond.bsky.social•71 days ago

"That's just what a trans person would say!" they'd say.

jessicat.bsky.social•71 days ago

yeah they'll do darvo regardless. it's not about being right and they know they're lying
