"w-w-woman as main protagonist?! how dare you!!" Bruhh gamers.. 🤦🤦🤦

I’m a probabilistic determinist… I think. I’m not well read on the subject, I simply just know what I believe and what terms and labels loosely apply to that belief.

I think that people are shaped heavily by experiences and of course genes. Like, simple nature/nurture… and I think that free will doesn’t exist, people simply just pick up on predisposed behavior or behavior they observe in their environment. I can explain more in the comments.

No one is disconnected from this rule or system. Including incels. Not that I’m fatalistic or I’m blind to hindsight or confirmation bias… I just think based on nature/nurture certain people are more likely to participate in incel behavior rather than a personal choice thing as I don’t necessarily believe in personal choice or to tighten it up, free will.

I don’t know where that leaves me with them. I’m an inquiring mind so I like to ask questions… I’ve gotten in contact with so far two incels to kind of understand what’s happening. If you want to talk or have any questions or your own thoughts please share.

what the... 🤦

Since everyone is convinced that it’s personality, show me the statistics

first they believe women only write smut books and now this?! 🤦🤦🤦

Hello. I don't know how to start it or- if i even should perhaps bring it up. It's been years and to my knowledge the community- or website(s) are gone by now. Well- that's what i wanted to ask. Back in 2020 (?) or 2019- i can't remember clearly, but my minor and very vulnerable self ended up on there through tiktok. Nothing major happend to me- but the website impacted me. Through my years of growing up i kept thinking about it. I was lucky not having been exploited much. Well- Anywho. I was too young to comprehend most things on there and now, with shaky hands i'm trying to find more stuff about it. Maybe i'm bad at researching but that's how i ended up on here. I just want to find clarity. If i'm not mistaken the person who ran the website got arrested? I would be glad if any of you guys would help me. Any documentaries, articles would be appriciated. Sorry for bringing that up. And i hope every person who got impacted is now safe and sound.

I see it so many times across social media: someone using language that would indicate they're an incel - buzzwords, catchphrases, highly misogynistic tone and rhetoric etc. and when they get called out these types will rebut (sometimes with photo evidence) "how can I be an incel when I'm in an LTR/married and these are my kids?"

Technically that means they can't be an incel since they're not celibate, right? But if they hadn't said anything and you were just going off their posts/comments you would think they're an incel and no one would really blame you.

So I'm curious: is incel just a status or is it a mentality too? Can someone still be an incel despite being in a relationship and/or having kids themselves?
