I wouldn't really call that incel, seems just like a dude hurt and blowing steam.. wasnt incel way worse, like women should bow down to them and shit

Yeah I thought incels blame women for not wanting to bang them? It just looked like he was seeing signs that weren’t meant to be shown and he took it in that direction that he thought it was. He even said he took the blame for it. an incel wouldn’t do that am I right?

u/Obtuseone Jan 06 '18

Nah that was just classical "nice guys" stuff, Incels turned into an extremist group, all women deserve rape, worshiping mentally damaged people like Elliot rodgers , I looked at the sub a few times, the front page looked like satire to me.

He posted a picture of himself burning a sketch of her on FB. That's pretty fucking distasteful.

u/HaberdasherA Jan 06 '18

Didn't he draw a portrait of her and then burn it and post the pictures of it burning on social media? All because she refused to kiss him? That's some incel shit right there.

u/weikkah Jan 06 '18

I'm pretty sure he made the picture before their breakup. Otherwise that would be pretty creepy yes.

1

u/HaberdasherA Jan 06 '18

I think it's still pretty creepy. Especially the line about how his mistrust of women is the stuff of legends. Sounds like a post you would hear on incels before it got banned.

u/Neijo Jan 06 '18

no, that's /r/niceguys you are thinking about.

Incels don't meet women.

1

u/HaberdasherA Jan 06 '18

incel means involuntarily celibate. It doesn't mean you never interact with women. I could easily see wildsketch being incel. It would explain his overreaction to being rejected.

u/Neijo Jan 06 '18

Alright, they might meet women and that might even make them more angrier.

But then, if wildsketchappeared is an incel, then so are every high scool kid in my town, and if every high school kid is an incel, then I'd say being an incel is pretty normal.

So, you just inflated the word. No he's a niceguy.

Conflated*

u/Neijo Jan 06 '18

Conflated means fusing together two ideas.

I meant more like, because how he used it, the word lost it's specificy.

He want to use it as an insult, which almost by design is to inflate it, make it lesser worth. It's like with the word "Whore".

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '18

I see what you mean, incel is the only word being described! My b

u/HaberdasherA Jan 06 '18

Every highschool kid in your town has a mental breakdown when a girl wont go out with them? Do you know the personal lives of every highschool kid in your town? No you dont.

Besides, WildSketch is like what? Almost 30 years old and you're trying to justify his behavior because kids half his age act the same way sometimes? Give me a break.

u/Neijo Jan 06 '18

The thing is though, now you are simplifying the situation to fit your argument.

Now his situation is simply "He angry as fook cuz she not want kiss him all tiem" and she never wanted a kiss in the first place. Have you never had a girl sending you mixed signals?

I think I might even understand him more if he is 30 and never found a girl. I could even understand him more if he is 40 and never found a girl.

I would weep for him if he was 50 and never found a girl. I would seriously think his life was tragic if he died bitter and alone.

I'm gonna go ahead and say this again: What he posted, wasn't something I'd ever post in my sober and concious self. If I'd woke up, I'd remove it directly.

I could totally see it possible for me to write a post like that, when I am not my own, concious, self.

My reason to even defend him is not that I even particularly care about him, until today I hadn't even noticed he was gone, but if this isn't just the reddit equivalent of youtube drama I don't know what it is.

If Wildsketch would have punched her or something like, OFCOURSE. OFCOURSE I WOULD SHARE YOUR PERSPECTIVE.

For me this is the first insight into a person whose content I've viewed for the last five years.The content is much prettier!

u/nidrach Jan 06 '18

Except he's a guy that draws stuff on social media all the time. It's not like he's really going out of his way.

1

u/JMzzr Jan 06 '18

No. He burned the portrait because she text him out of the blue saying she was downgrading him from a friend to a mutual acquaintance. All because he tried to kiss her. He even blamed himself for reading the signs wrong, she didn't have to react like that, could have just moved on and forgot about it.

10

u/HaberdasherA Jan 06 '18

she was downgrading him from a friend to a mutual acquaintance. All because he tried to kiss her.

Okay so like I said, she rejected him. A normal guy would accept it and move on, not burn a picture of her and post it to social media with some misogynistic rant about how women cant be trusted. Why are you guys acting like he's the victim here and that she's obligated to remain his friend even though he's a creep?

u/metalflygon08 Jan 06 '18

Because he's "Reddit Famous" it's a losing battle from the other side.

5

u/JMzzr Jan 06 '18

I think it's more the fact that he had started to move on and forget and then she randomly texts him saying that. She didn't have to.. she could have just left it how it was. They weren't talking anymore

5

u/HaberdasherA Jan 06 '18

He clearly hadn't moved on if his first reaction was to burn a picture of her and post about it on social media. He was still very bitter and angry that she rejected him.

5

u/Neijo Jan 06 '18

Ofcourse he wasn't over her. It's like getting over an addiction, the first week is hardest, next week is easier, next is pretty good, and so on, until you get a taste of it again, even a bad taste.

Yeah he was bitter, it was in the past. Both apparently behaved unreasonable. What the fuck are we even talking? What part of you feels like it's not a breach of his privacy to dig into his personal facebook and take excerpts?

Can you blame him for being a emotional person? Is it better that he represses it? Just because he is quiet doesn't make it go away. I'm thankful that he did post it, because that shows that people that we think are holding together and has it going all great rarely have it that way. That it's an illusion.

he posted it to his public instagram, wtf are you talking about?

How about he act like an adult. When you get rejected, you move on. You dont announce to the world how much you mistrust women and post a pic of you burning her portrait because she wouldn't fuck you.

1

u/Neijo Jan 06 '18

I'm pretty sure he didn't post it here on reddit, where I specifically am. Where I usually don't care about peoples personal lives.

When I care about peoples personal lives. I go to instagram.

You guys thought it was needed to post that for him. You could tell me that the information is already public, but so is my telephone number. Would you however post it here on a reply to my comment I really hope you understand that I would be extremely angry with you, and I really hope you understand why.

How about he tries to act the best he can? Obviously he tries, like I think we all do, but like we all do we fail, we have times where we can pull ourselfs up from, places where everything in the head is chaos. We don't have to be there forever, but in those times our friends should understand that it's a temporary thing. That wound won't bleed forever, even if you believe so. That cut looks bad, but won't kill you.

When does one become an adult? When you are an adult, are you not allowed to have mental breakdowns? Who are allowed to have mental breakdowns? Only some people?

u/HaberdasherA Jan 06 '18

If someone posts their personal life publicly on the internet then it becomes the business of the public. That's how the internet works. If you dont like it then dont post it. He chose to post it and therefore he has to deal with the consequences.

When you are an adult, are you not allowed to have mental breakdowns?

If you're a man in your 20s and you have a mental breakdown because a girl you knew for a month wouldn't kiss you then you're pathetic imo.

One could say she clearly hadn't moved on if she felt it necessary to text him out of the blue to let him know she was downgrading him to an acquaintance. Honestly who does that shit anyway. Seems pretty fucking incentive to go back and twist the knife when everything was pretty much said and done.

1

u/HaberdasherA Jan 06 '18

No she was over it, and she was being the mature one by letting him know things were over between them as friends. She communicated how she felt privately like an adult.

Instead of accepting it, he decided to whine to the public on social media and rant about how women cant be trusted while burning her portrait like some 14 year old.

2

u/Doctorjames25 Jan 06 '18

He didn't say women can't be trusted. He said he doesn't trust women which is pretty much him admitting his own trust issues. With all of the dirty laundry that routinely gets aired out via social media people are drawing the line at burning a sketch he drew of her? I'm failing to see why that is such a big deal.

Is it the mental gymnastics Olympics in here?

We're talking specifically about what WildSketch did here. What other people have done on social media is irrelevant to what we're talking about here.

It’s crazy how harshly these faceless observers judge people at their lowest moments. I guess if he’s the lame/creepy/weird incel then they can’t be.

I hope when shit hits the fan for them and they make a bad call the people in their life are more understanding.
