I only know the genre from reading about it but I'm pretty sure that no, the main character never gets a girl, or they couldn't stretch a series indefinitely, introduce more and more girls etc.
the most insidious harem series have no male main character and the viewer fills the role. series like, bizarrely, MLP (where I'm pretty sure the male-less harem aspect was accidental because american producers aren't as jaded and cynical as their japanese counterparts)

a bunch of women with different interests and personalities is not technically a "harem"

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Let's imagine that an incel gets his wish.

They fall into the perfect relationship with a hot 14, (eww, but that's what incels want) year old submissive virgin who is incredibly intelligent, can discuss anime and video games, is content discussing nothing else, can cook, clean and will happily and enthusiastically sexually service said incel as many times as he wants.

(I know this is an insane fantasy, but lets imagine anyway.)

I reckon that incels are so mentally damaged that they would break up with her in about a week over some real or imagined slight that they would blame both on her for being a Stacy and themselves for being ugly, (mostly her though.)

"What?? My dinner is 5 minutes late! This means you must be loving 17 Chads and then licking their cum off toilet seats! You are just like all the others, It's over!"

That'd most certainly be the case. Other likely reasons for breakup would be:

"It's your fault I can't preform after jacking it to cartoons twice a day for the last ten years"
"I saw those Chads looking at you, you harlot. Stop tempting them with your sluttiness."
or:
"I saw a pimple on your face, you herpes-ridden, cockriding Stacy"

They would never get this far. They would talk themselves out of the relationship before it even started. There will always be an excuse to not try.

Reminder that incels don't actually want what they really want people to think they want.

They want Chad. Which is perfectly fine, they should just be honest about it.

The inverse of this is that just because you treat your cashier like a human being and try to strike up an conversation and be friendly doesn't mean you are creeping on them.

This is from the r/relationships thread and too good not to share here

[CA] Employee suffers from a phobia towards a protected class.

Hello, I run a small 6 person startup (five excluding myself). So far our product has been mostly targeted towards businesses, with a significant degree of success there. We'd like to expand our product towards consumer applications, but we need to hire a couple of devs to do that.

So far, everyone we have hired has known one of us and was hired based upon that recommendation. It just so happens that the majority of our acquaintances are male.

Anyways, one of our key employees has a PhD in machine learning and has been indispensable to our success so far. His contributions to the development of our product have been immense and we value his work a lot.

This employee is also diagnosed with "Specific phobia" by a psychiatrist and has a fear of women . He feels that working with a woman on a daily basis would serve as a trigger for him and torpedo his productivity. This is something that I would definitely like to avoid. His psychiatrist has also attested towards this fact and said that until he is exposed to women in a more controlled setting and builds up a "tolerance" to increasing levels of exposure, that it would be detrimental towards his mental health to work with women on a regular basis.

I know that employers with over 15 employees are subject to federal hiring regulations, but the state of California apparently imposes more regulations, even on businesses with just 5 employees. Given these circumstances, would we be allowed to not consider any female candidates for the developer positions that we have open?

Maybe I'm just an idiot but, if they hire a women couldn't they make PhD guy remote or her remote? I will say that I can't muster the same hate for this guy as I have for other incels because he seems to realize that he has a problem.

I am not an HR puke, but as I understand it, the watchword for disabled employees is "reasonable accommodation." "Black ball half of the population from working here" is categorically unreasonable and obviously discriminatory. Forcing female employees to work remotely seems similarly unreasonable. Having him work from home might seem like an okay solution if we take his "phobia" at face value. Will he be triggered if he hears a female voice on a conference call?

I had some exposure to a guy who claimed to have "anxiety" that would be triggered if he had to report to or work with a woman who was in a peer/supervisory status to him, and that visiting exotic dancers was a form of exposure therapy that allowed him to see women as non-threatening, so yeah I'm inclined to fill in the "between the lines" about the object of this post with gross CHUD-dom.
