No, they aren't related and post-1950s dermatologists won't say they are. The first thing dermatologists usually say to acne patients is to wash less often and more gently.
The Mayo Clinic:


Cystic acne is genetic, but so is almost all regular acne. 81% is genetic from a huge twin study.

huh fair enough, guess the dermatologists i saw in my late teens and early twenties were pre-1950s.

This is exactly what I'm trying to say.


Some of these women had invited me on nights out. And I hadn't made a "move" in case that's what you're thinking.


I'm washed and so are my clothes. I'm clean shaven and I get regular haircuts. I am fat but I'm working on it. I've never watched an anime in my life. I don't have acne, my hair isn't greasy and I don't smell.

I don't know why you would assume those things about me unless it's because I don't have the approval of attractive women.


I'd give pretty much any food, movie or song a try.

Reasons I wouldn't (want to) date certain women:
- looks (once again, all I want is honesty on the subject)
- poor hygiene (not hypocritical as im washed)
- racist


I gave up on getting laid but then that's when people started saying I should get a girlfriend.

Depends on what exactly you're doing but all the women I've talked to tell stories of how they're constantly hit on, everywhere and that it gets tiring. But of course, especially in clubs, bars etc. If they're just out with their friends they might not be interested in you at all and if they're out of your league they might just be telling you to get lost to save everyone some time. Are you only approaching really hot women? Because they're usually only interested in really hot men

If you're hitting on people in the street or in McDonalds or whatever then lol

the barista sighs heavily before calling the next customer's name.

"benny!"

benny approaches the counter. from a distance, he almost looks normal, but his posture is always off and he tends to lapse into this odd stare that makes both of them uncomfortable. he's a regular customer at the coffee shop, there almost every morning. usually the barista will quietly tap her coworker brad on the shoulder and swap places until he leaves, but brad's sick today, and there aren't any other guys who work this shift. someone's gotta deal with him, and this morning, it looks like it's gonna be her. the she hands over the drink.

"here you go, sir," she says, trying to find a tone of voice that conveys "I'm being polite because I'm at work, but I actually really hate you." she tries this basically every time she has to serve him, but he obviously has trouble understanding subtext.

"thanks," he says, picking the drink off the counter. he pauses briefly. "you look nice this morning, april."

the barista mumbles "uhm. thanks." she tries to edge closer to the barrier between polite but terse and visibly irritated. the next order can't be ready quickly enough so she has an excuse to shoo him away.

"I found these t-shirts that look pretty cool. what do you think?" he says, pulling up some facebook page on his phone and shoving it in her face. the shirts in question have a lot of skulls and weird edgy slogans in metal-band-logo-esque text.

"that's uh, not really my thing," she says, looking around to make sure her boss doesn't notice what's happening and chew her out for talking with customers again or some bullshit. "it looks kind of goofy, I guess"

"oh." benny apparently hadn't considered that response. "uh, well, I was thinking of getting one, and I thought this one looks kind of cool." he flips though a few photos in whatever album.

"ORDER UP!"

the barista breaths a sigh of relief as she turns around to grab the finished drink. she reads the name on the side, smiles a bit and calls it out.

"jess!" she turns back around to see benny holding his phone in her face expectantly again. she ignores him, focusing on the woman approaching the counter.

"here you are, miss," she says, trying to fight off a big goofy grin

"thanks, baby," jess accepts the drink, clearly also ecstatic to see her. she starts walking out of the coffee shop, turning briefly to make a "call me!" gesture.

benny, soured by that interaction, takes his drink and sulks over to an open table to post angrily on the /r/incels thread about how girls never want to talk to him

It's passed down matrilineally because even Chad's DNA is cucking them.

that's a hilariously awful analogy. last I checked, most wheelchair bound folks don't spend all day on forums bitching about how non-disabled people are cucks and anyone going through physical therapy is a cuck too

and most of the time, physical disability can't be traced back to massive personality flaws and hosed up worldviews

You're right, I can't really compare wheelchair bound people and poor people to these crazy incels, because these incels are misogynists, etc., and they say, and sometimes do, some messed up poo poo that they shouldn't be excused for. My point is just that being an incel is a worse fate than being poor, and is a comparable fate (although not quite as bad probably) as being wheelchair bound. And, furthermore, being an incel is no more under a person's control than being a poor is under someone's control. People don't choose to have crippling social anxiety, or bad social skills or be ugly. Who knows what kind of psychological disorders and insane childhoods cause people to become incels. And of course people who don't have normal social lives develop hosed up worldviews. Seems like a hosed up worldview is a completely expected result of that kind of psychological suffering. I don't know what should be done to counteract the sometimes terrible stuff that's going on in these toxic communities, but I don't think just making fun of them and making them even more unsocializable is really the answer.

Edit: also the examples you posted are way too small for me to see on my screen, so I don't even know what they were saying.
