I don’t think being a virgin should count you in as an incel, and I don’t like the way that the term incel has kind of devoured all ranges of loneliness and sexlessness.

I don’t think that sort of conflation is helpful, and overall I feel that the way culture – particularly online – has handled the phenomenon of inceldom has largely just made things worse, because of this shift in language that reinforces a lot of the attitudes towards sex and worth (of men specifically) that make people hate women as a means of coping with self-hatred.

I completely agree. I think that “incel” has become a catch-all from anywhere from violent misogynists to normal virgins. It’s a nasty term that should just be replaced with misogynist when applicable.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
