I wouldn't be surprised if most of inceldom is just dudes with social anxiety and/or body dysmorphia becoming radicalized by each other because our culture doesn't really create support structures for dudes with those things very well. Also, a generous sprinkling of just hardcore violent misogynists

there's also lots of non-white incels who have completely internalised every piece of 4chan phrenology bullshit and i think quite a few severely closeted gay/bi and trans people as well. a lot going on really

Incels aren't wrong that good bone structure makes you more attractive to women it's just that that's only part of being handsome and being handsome is only part of being attractive

sure there are relatively nice spaces here and there but lmao if you really think it depends on Who is participating rather than how the space is enforced or whatever. even the nicest people (regardless of how privileged or marginalized they are) will turn into totally vicious cannibals with the right prompting

I would say it depends on both and also that each one affects the other. Places with certain rules and cultures will attract certain kinds of people and vice versa. And I wasn't really talking about privilege or marginalization, more personality and interests

Contrapoints did a video that spent a lot of time looking at trans people hanging out on /lgbt/ and telling each other they couldn't possibly pass because of callipers.

It's always callipers. An incel looks perfectly normal and identical to a chad? Well yes but actually his prosupercranio-orbial ridgejaw is offset by point one three of an inch in the anterior, which will cause foids to immediately cross the street to avoid him. He may as well take the black pill post haste.

WHAT
hey just want to put a little tip that has served me well. if there’s a event going on and you want to get people to show up, call in some clergy/congregations.

Some groups I’ve marched or demonstrated with in the past include Quakers, United Church of Christ, African Methodist Episcopalian, United Methodists, and to a lesser degree Catholics. Catholics mostly show up for immigration related stuff but when they do show up it’s pretty impressive, especially if there is a Hispanic church. There are Jewish and Muslim groups that will show up but I’m drawing a blank on what groups specifically.

UCC and Quakers will typically show up. I fuckin love Quakers. Quakers are anti-authoritarian and don’t have leaders. UCC does anti-racism training and has adopted anti-racism as a major pillar of the church.

Nothing like black bloc standing side by side with a bunch of clergy. Clergy presence also really decreases violence to protesters and helps keep teenage anarchists from doing dumb poo poo.

Who am I forgetting?

This summer is going to be pretty busy with fash poo poo so imo it’s good to get a bigger network of like, normal people.

Men have differently shaped bones than women and people who are considered attractive have differently shaped bones from people who're considered ugly. 4chan types exaggerate it but it's not baseless

Yes, that's the thing, they exaggerate it and invent their own bizarre calliper-based mythology in which a slight change from their own shifting definition of perfection means that you are doomed to lose every women you meet to the lure of the purring jew, or in the trans case, always look like an ugly man in a dress and probably kill yourself.

Because 4chan is loving awful.

It's really funny/sad how I posted selfies on /lgbt/ once trying to get roasted because I was incredibly depressed and instead got complimented for my "nice bone structure" :v:.

It's really sad to me that so many loving people go on 4chan still since it trains you to be an incredibly worse person. I've never heard of people being friends on 4chan, it's mostly just that they group together in an awkward way at some half-assed /pol/ meet-up or some poo poo, mumble a lot and say memes in real life, and then leave and post pics for other anonymous posters to make fun of everyone who bothered showing up. Reading stuff on MMORPG threads, everyone seems to reject the implicit understanding that you need to be sociable to play them and mostly just argues with each other. It's legit loving freaky how people gravitate to a site that renders you unable to connect with people on human levels since you now view everything in the frame of "will this get me internet applause or will this make me look weak".
