I don’t like how some segments of the left are trying to analyze these “incels” (involuntary celebates: AKA, people incapable of attracting a sexual partner that then blame everyone but themselves) as though there’s a rational element informing their ideology, if you can even call it an ideology. The article I linked to is basically blaming, in part, the plots of literature that involve sex or frustration related to a male character’s attempts to pursue a woman for these incel assholes. I don’t like blaming fine art for the actions of stupid people.
It’s a mixture of them being assholes, and a bit of entitlement. Literature is probably not where I’d go if I wanted to blame our culture, though. The sheer amount of films where the man Save the Day and Gets the Girl is usually what I see blamed for male entitlement, not books.
I also have an equally simple solution for these guys, even though they’ll never actually do this. Maybe if these incels would stop posting on creepy internet forums about how mean women are unwilling to fuck them, they might have a better shot at a sexual relationship. It isn’t that hard.
yes, they need to do this too. And maybe not advocate for the legal right to rape, something I’ve seen on some incel boards.
