I'm not trying to defend people posting on incel boards, but the idea that everyone else is laughing at you behind your back and looking down on you is textbook social anxiety, and I find it hard to point and laugh at social outcasts with mental issues so severe that just going outside is an agonizing experience. Also, you should maybe consider that "I, as someone in a completely different situation from these people, have never experienced the kind of attitudes they talk about, so it must not be real" is a pretty lovely way to look at it, even if the group in question seems to be trying its hardest to not earn any sympathy.

Also, for people who have made some or all of the milestones it's easy to talk about how it's not as big of a deal because they've already accomplished it. But for a person who hasn't they're not going to always see it this way.

While being unmarried isn't as big of a taboo any more, people will still use a person's sexuality as a social value indicator. In another thread, someone posted something to the effect of "There's no reason a guy should still be a virgin in 2016 when Tinder and Alcohol are a thing". poo poo post or not, statements like this can reinforce to an already vulnerable person that they are somehow defective, and the anxiety and neurosis about it kind of folds itself over a thousand times into a fully forged incel.

It's supposed to be that way. It's explicitly the action of shaking one's head in pity at the dumbass actions of a person who can't be reasoned with and is bringing shame or injury on itself.

Basically the nonverbal equivalent of Southerners' "Well, bless your heart!"

I would say 'bless your heart' is more versatile, and can be used in both a contemptuous and noncontemptuous way. It rather depends on subtle context clues and tone.


However, your point stands, and I'm just nitpicking because I've been around it all my life.

I dunno, I didn't lose my virginity until I was 23 since I had some dumb idea about saving myself for someone special. Other than disappointing a few dates, I never really felt any pressure to get laid.

Its not that no sex will break a person. It's that these people are broken.

This Facebook guy is crazy good on the weather. He's very accurate and doesn't sensationalize anything. People will get mad when he's "wrong", for example we were in danger of getting hit by a hurricane and he was keeping good track of it. Turned out people were just hoping it'd hit us even when he clearly said the most accurate models had it going out to sea, but they took his "be prepared" warnings as "it's gonna hit us!" But he shares a lot of dumb poo poo like this:



What's this have to do with the weather? No one's calling him out on it, just a lot of posturing from other people with similar memes.

Yes, I suppose if you hang out in a black neighborhood long enough eventually a black person will walk in your direction. (I'm sad that I immediately knew what the meme was really saying, because it means that I understand/buy into the cultural narrative that all black men are dangerous.)

The share was a video of a "Totally crazy reaction" of black men seeing the "All lives matter" sign then taking their shirts off and chasing Joey Salads. Cuts to outside a Walgreens with a Black Lives Matter sign high fiving white people.

I think I found one of the worst pages on Facebook. It's called "Like if you love Native Americans"

https://www.facebook.com/nativeamerican01/?fref=ts

It's about 1/3 "Look at this hot Native person, how many likes?!?!?!?" and the rest is the worst click-bait tripe in existence.

I saw some comments by people on random links saying that they liked the page to learn about Native American issues and to offer solidarity. Why would you not look at even two posts on the page before hitting that like button?

Somebody said it before, the people who complain the most about trigger warnings are the most sensitive snowflakes of all, unable to handle even the slightest challenge to their opinions.
