No bro if you think using the term incel referring to incel culture is a slur to use against people who share the same views as incels, you're definitely just trying to defend your own incel-esque views here

Heaven forbid people who don’t have sex are against being slandered against.

Bud, it's not that people have a problem with people who don't have sex.

I mean, they do have problems with asexuality for some reason.

But no one hates you if you haven't had sex.

It's not a thing.

It's just not a thing.

Incel stands for something.

Yes, it is a portmanteau of "involuntary celibate" but like, words and phrases evolve, incel very clearly refers to a specific type of person with specific opinions and viewpoints.



Oh, and it's most *definitely* not a slur lol

I dunno, it does seem kinda hypocritical to be all like "no shaming people for their bodies or their sexual history or their class...

...except for this particular group of people here who we don't like, that's based and fun."

Have principles or don't, but don't pretend you do and then act like you don't.

As far as im aware the only thing being shamed when talking about incels are their misogynistic and beyond regressive views.

Very different to classism or body shaming, the examples you gave.

Aren't they shamed for being ugly and/or living in their mother's basement too, though? I mean, if we're going to do radical left stuff, let's be consistent.

Anyone who makes fun of how people look sucks. Also disliking incels and hating their views isn't radical i would argue it's just human decency

What's radical left here?

You are right that there are stereotypes of incels that are mocked, and I agree, that's not ok, but that still doesn't change the fact that the "incel" conversation in this case isn't about people disliking when certain individuals don't use deodorant, it's about "incel is a slur" which... it's not.

Then insult them on the basis of their reactionary politics, not on the basis of how much sex they aren't having. Calling them incels just legitimizes that reactionary worldview and concedes that it's reality.

Aside from the incel comment. Beast has scapegoated posters in the past in regard to his self-esteem problems. Which is probably considered manipulative behavior. I actually do still remember the threads in question but I personally don't like digging up past drama.

Of course, I don't know him personally. Only had a few conversations with him here and there. But from what I've gathered from his vent comments about loneliness, it sounds like he struggles with self-compassion. Which I think one needs to have in order to start a serious and healthy relationship. I myself don't love myself either but his way of thinking is very concerning and he should see a therapist. I mean the last part genuinely.
