The internet is the perfect seedbed to grow animosity. It provides rapid and easy access to like-minded people all over the world, which is one of the reasons hate culture prospers online.

Renowned for their bitter and misogynistic commentary, incels are one of such odious groups. They use different platforms to blame everyone but themselves for the sores of their (lack of) romantic relationships. Yet, at times, non-members use incels’ weapons against them and go online to do karma’s job.

Reddit is home to an entire community, dedicated to shaming these misogynists, called “Incel Tear”. They emphasize not condoning animosity towards the non-violent romantically unsuccessful and invite redditors to denounce the content shared by the so-called blackpilled incels.

This Is What A Real Chad Looks Like, What A Chad Move

This Is What A Real Chad Looks Like, What A Chad Move

"NEW SULTAN REJECTS PROPOSED 14-YEAR-OLD WIFE, SAYS SHE'S A MINOR
The new Sultan of Bamoun in Cameroon, HRH Nabil Mbombo Njoya, has declined offer of a 14-year-old virgin in marriage as tradition demands. According to tradition, the wife of a new Sultan must come from the Njim Monchouh family to terminate traditional rites known as "Lah-Kam". This, Sultan Njoya refused the 14-year-old girl offered by the family because she is a minor and opted to marry his long time girlfriend instead. He has however promised to sponsor the 14 year-old from secondary school right up to University."

You're absolutely right. I see nothing wrong with his choices. I have so much respect for his decision to forgo tradition and sponsor her education instead. It takes courage to implement changes like this in a position such as his but is progress towards a different kind of life for the young women of who would have been expected to devote their lives to him. I hope it's indeed a large step towards a better way of life for many people.

Am I missing something? That's what I'd consider the right thing to do, instead of marrying this actual child, supporting her well into adulthood doesn't seem wrong to me. Unless, of course, some info is missing here, I fail to see any wrong in what he does.

Yes, it is. Of course it is! But ... that is considered normal there, and this guy - ok, from a very comfortable position, but still - sees through it, sees the wrong in it and does not participate. He, maybe to a degree we don't really get to grasp from outside, acts against the cultural norm around him in a society that isn't known to be very understanding towards deviants. It's sad we get to have such a reason to praise someone, but praising him still is right. I think.

I don't mean to be a downer, but it's an odd place in history when we're praising someone for simply doing the right thing. His decision shouldn't be considered outstanding behavior in this day and age, it should be standard, expected behavior to reject the "gifting" of a human child.

Incels—short for involuntary celibates—are not guys who simply weren’t hit by Cupid's love-infused arrow. Their lack of success in forming relationships is accompanied by displaying strong hostility towards women, blaming them for most, if not all, of their problems. 

They believe that females hold too much power when it comes to sex and all things romantic, and loathe them if rejected. The antipathy is bluntly expressed not only through the content of their messages but the vocabulary they use as well.

Femoid is one of the common derogatory terms, used among incels to dehumanize women. By using the compound of the words female humanoid, they portray girls as monstrous objects, this way trying to vindicate their hate and violence. According to them, women believe to be superior to others, which makes victimizing men one of the main recurring topics among the members.

Another word the disgruntled bunch uses to describe the representatives of the fair sex is Stacy. In their world, she is a very attractive woman, whom they desire and despise at once. They complain about never being able to attract a Stacy because they always go for Chads—another stereotype-infused caricature presenting a type of guy women arguably like.

There is an exhibit that shows what rape victims were actually wearing when they were attacked and it is enlightening, unfortunately the wrong people see it or pay attention. clothing shouldn’t be part of a conversation about rape period and the need for this exhibit is disappointing.

Red Pill and Black Pill might also be terms unfamiliar to people outside the group. They are used for categorization of incels based on their beliefs. Referring to the pills from The Matrix, the red one means awakening of some sort, which in their case is the realization that “women hold the higher ground” in social and romantic situations.

Blackpill incels agree with the Red Pill mentality for the most part. The main difference is that the former group believes that only change in society as a whole can help in their situation. They believe that women choose partners based only on their looks, which are pre-determined, making any personal effort in seducing a lady or changing your ways pointless.

Going to slightly disagree with this one. For starters, anyone who thinks monks and nuns throughout history stuck rigidly to their vows of celibacy is a little naive. Anyone who thinks priests are celibate needs introducing to many branches of the Catholic Church for a start! As for the rest, humans are still animals, and there is a natural evolutionary drive to procreate. It is a need - anyone who has a pet on heat knows it's not 100% involuntary. What separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom is our ability to not *act* on that need. What this post gets right is that its being used as an excuse. Edit - it should go without saying that a need or a desire or a want does not in any way, shape or form equal entitlement. It might be needed, that doesn't make it a right.

Despite the split into two groups, incels are actually part of an even larger unit. They all belong to the Manosphere—a network of misogynistic communities. Some examples include the MRA (men's-rights activists), MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way), and PUA (pick-up artists). These communities might differ in the severity of their statements and views, yet are all led by similar conspiracy theories and fueled by hate.

Incels, as most groups in the Manosphere, turn to the internet to share their beliefs, thoughts, and grievances. Center For Countering Digital Hate revealed that one of the main forums of the involuntary celibate receives around 2.6 million visits every month, generated by roughly 17,000 users. Some people are more vocal than others, as the majority of posts (nearly 75%) are generated by a group of 400 most active users.

Male supremacy groups are not the only ones using the internet for spreading hate speech. Due to easy access to an abundance of communication platforms, nearly anyone can release their toxins into the online world. ADL’s 2021 survey revealed that 41% of respondents in the US have experienced some form of harassment online.

ADL’s survey also revealed some shocking statistics considering the way hate speech and threats are taken care of by online mediums. After people received physical threats online, only 14% of the sinister content has been deleted and only 17% of the accounts that spread it have been blocked by the platforms. However, by joining forces tech companies and regulators could likely ameliorate the situation.

Every incel that makes it out of that darkness gives me hope. I remember one specifically. He stated that he treated a female friend like an actual friend for once and they ended up really connecting, which resulted in a date that ended well. He berated the community for lying to men about how women are. That real life is better than theyd all been lead to believe. He made it out. I still think about that guy and hope he is still doing well.
