The online incel community has taken a break from blaming women for their ongoing failures in life to issue a collective tantrum over Netflix’s new drama Adolescence, which dares—dares, mind you—to portray incel culture as the toxic, rage-filled echo chamber it so demonstrably is.

    I’m not sure I’d call that involuntarily celibate, rather involuntarily unsocial, as in you don’t have the time or money to hang out with people.

      I’m a brokecel lmao.

      That has to exist already. So after writing that last sentence I searched and it is indeed a part of the incel subculture. That was rough to look at though.

        nah mate the whole “incel” deal is that they just don’t wanna face the fact that they’re undateable due to their personalities. Instead they decide it’s because women are gold digging whores, or there’s some combination of facial features that they don’t have or because they’re just too awesome and scare prospective partners away.

        fact is, they’re trash. It’s not the way they look (Danny DeVito fucks). It’s not money (plenty of poor people getting mad dates). It’s the fact they’re horrible people who make bad partners, and it’s ragingly evident from any sort of conversation with them.

        Your social life is being buttfucked by the cost of living crisis, but if that were not a factor, would you still pull? Do you socialise? Do you actually view women as people to get to know even if you don’t get to stick your dick in 'em? If so…then you’re not an incel.
