Comment on That face when
ThunderComplex@lemmy.today 1 week agoAhh, thanks for the explanation. I’ve heard the term incel here and there, but always just took it at face value. I had no idea that the whole alpha male thing originated from there.
Obsession with sex and hatred for women does sound highly contradictory to me, but I’m not gonna question it. This does not look like a fun rabbithole to fall into. I will agree, however, that this is deserving of mockery and ridicule.

Haha, agreed, the two are contradictory, I don’t think it’s a very stable or effective worldview. You can see how stuff like Alpha Male comes out of that. “If women only like badasses who are mean to them, I’ll deliberately be a badass who’s mean to women”. I’ve heard it said that the best advice for an incel is to just… find a real hobby, work on yourself, find some real happiness and become an interesting person who’s not obsessed with women and sex, and maybe you’ll cross paths with someone who might genuinely like you down the line. And that advice definitely checks out, blaming women for everything wrong in your life isn’t a way to attract anyone, but they tend to misdiagnose the problem. Definitely not a fun rabbit hole.
Anyway, happy I could help out! Enjoy your new cursed internet knowledge.
