I prefer to call the muslim ban the muslims from arbitrarily-selected countries ban.

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 don’t really care much for that scapegoat either. I think most people in general are really entitled in this culture. The incels basically amp it up to feeling entitled to other people, which is the next step up in entitlement. If any cultural phenomenon is motivating them I doubt that it’s artistic media and is probably the kind of internet pseudo-intellectuals that I mentioned.
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.
They’re a silly bunch, aren’t they? And they really wonder why no one wants them.
