Take up shelter in the base of my spine

I'm not familiar with the thread, but just imagine bothering to actually form a community around not getting laid, and how obviously resentful and bitter an "incel" community would likely turn.

People form crazy obsessive communities centered around way stupider things than not getting laid, I think. Like the one you linked earlier.

For some it did involve incest, or at least hoping for an incestual relationship with a mom or a sister so they could finally get laid. Incel poo poo is crazy, I could only read a page or two at a time because that poo poo was hosed up. Probably for the best that it got gassed but :barf:

The idea in and of itself is tame; some people can't get laid at all/as much as they'd like and, for better or for worse, sexual frustration can make people irritable, cranky, depressed, or sad. It's also tied into American society's revulsion toward sex like it's some weird, dirty thing that only icky people do a lot. Must protect the children from sex! Sex is BAAAAAAAAAAD!!!! If you have sex before marriage even if you do it safely you'll get super gonnhosyphilaids and get pregnant with a thousand babies even if you're male!

People who use "incel" tend to be Reddit-style MRAs that nobody would want to gently caress anyway.

When all other explanations fail, 'an incel did it'.

I haven't delved too much into the community (and I'm not really planning on it), but isn't most of it just "I can't get laid. Must be something wrong with women" that plagues MRA/PUA-types who claim feminism caused it?

Elliot Rodger, IIRC, believed that women should've just jumped directly into his car because he was handsome, rich, and had a nice car, without doing any work to talk to a girl at all.

So yeah.

Yeah, people who knew him said he would always answer with one or two words, which explains why a guy from money, with a producer for a father, in LA of all loving place, couldn't at least get a hand breezy.

I seem to recall an E/N Incel thread 3 or 4 years ago that was very :stonk:

Just like all of my SA misadventures I followed a link there from another thread. I'll admit it took me a while to figure out what Incel actual was and that OP was being 100% serious about being one.

These sorts of threads shouldn't simply be gassed and tossed down the memory hole, they should get their own display case. That could be the purpose that the GBS Graveyard is looking for, "you ought to see what a shitpile that thread turned into". A good place to put perennially reoccurring megathreads that start out good before slipping into a death spiral, so mods don't have to ban and gas them whenever they show up, or create lists of subjects it's not okay to make posts about even though they'd be extremely popular and on-topic for that subforum.

Then whenever the topic comes up, which it inevitably will now and then, mods can just close it with a link to the corpse of the last one, and if someone really thinks they have exciting new information that brings fresh new perspectives to it, they can try a Gas Chamber Challenge where they bet their :tenbux: that it won't immediately get shot down and/or shat up. It'd also be a good display case for sagas that got gassed because kamikaze shitposters or disgraced ex-mods wanted them taken down to hide some embarassment.

That would beg a new Front Page feature, some sort of Post Post-Mortem crew or Thread Black Box to sift through terrible Weekend Web-worth threads diagnosing various posting atrocities and places where things all went wrong, instead of every cadaver being labeled "unclean" and tossed into the same mass grave.

He can draw fine but has nothing interesting to say, but his ego is too big to allow him to work for a talented writer. In other words a typical bad webcomic artist.

And in case anyone else is curious, he even tried his hand at a hackneyed coming-of-age comic about a teenage girl that discovers she's a lesbian.

It's exactly as bad as you'd assume. Worst part was he wouldn't stop referring to it as a bildungsroman.
