Dec. 6 is the anniversary of Marc Lépine’s misogynistic assault on École Polytechnique de Montréal in 1989. On that day, Mr. Lépine entered a classroom armed with a semi-automatic rifle. He asked all the men to leave and then opened fire. He murdered 14 women and wounded another 14 people before taking his own life.
…
The day before the anniversary, Mr. Rochefort posted an altered photo depicting Mr. Lépine with an assault rifle in front of a group of women, telling his readers that Dec. 6 “should be a day when we remember the first counterattack against the femin*zis’ war on men.” In August, 2022, he was convicted of inciting hatred toward women.
Some incidents of incel violence have started to be treated as acts of terrorism, and the Canadian governemtn IIRC has recently considered treating the incel “movement” as a domestic terrorism threat.
In all honesty the bullying is probably a huge part of the incel pipeline. Despite how much dating dynamics have changed, it’s still generally expected of the male to take the initiative and show no weakness or vulnerability. People still get mocked for shit like being a virgin or opening up about having difficulty dating, which is fucked up. Add to that the fact that there’s very few social support structures for men around dating and its not surprising that some men who are mocked fall into the PUA to Incel pipeline.
huh, it’s almost like bullying people and making them feel more isolated and alienated isn’t actually effective.
Bullying works on fash because fash relies on a projection of strength.
Bullying works on libs because libs rely on a projection of competence.
Bullying does not work on incels because incels rely on a sense of victimization which bullying perpetuates.
