The Blackpill is basic acknowledge certain uncomfortable truths about life in general. Leftists are now framing Blackpill as an anti-woman thing. NO! Blackpill is literally talking about harsh truths and nothing more. Blackpill goes beyond race and gender.
Blackpill truth time: Most killings and rapes are done by men you would define as normal and NOT sexist. Leftists like to look at 1% of incels committing crimes and frame them all as evil sexist monsters when in fact 99% of incels are invisible harmless men. It's men in healthy relationships living normal lives that are often times killers and rapists. A vast majority of your so called normal politicians are heartless monsters. Your so called normal government workers are corrupt killing machines. It's the normal people that fuck up this world not some fuckng incel. It's your normal boyfriend that beats you, it's your normal next door neighbor that's a pedophile.Now the media is saying incel culture is spreading... really? Their is a 90% chance a normal guy will rape and kill you. 99% of male incels are invisible nobodies that don't even make eye contact with women. Open up a news paper most killings are by NORMAL MALES! NOT INCELS.
Leftist media is using the new incel shooter to demonize the Blackpill community?
I'm sorry, bit do you have any actual scientific or official data supporting any of those numbers?
It is true a large minority of sexual violence comes from people the victim knows including former intimate partners, but that doesn't necessarily rule out that those people could also be incels.
I don't doubt that it is as you say most incels will not get to the point of actually physically assaulting women, but I'd also venture to say that number isn't 99%. I'm willing to believe you if you have any real evidence of that though.
Even if they don't get to the point of physically going through with it, they do themselves no favors in removing that doubt with how they talk about females as if we are some sort of selfish and shallow creature that doesn't give them a chance. The sense of entitlement there is astounding. We don't owe you anything other than to just treat you like any other human being. You aren't entitled to a girlfriend or for any girl to give you sex. You join the social world and interact like a normal person. You don't just to get sit there and expect women to throw themselves at you. If you strike out, stop blaming others and not taking personal responsibility.
"... do you have any actual scientific or official data supporting any of those numbers?"
"but I'd also venture to say that number isn't 99%." Do you have any scientific or official numbers to back up your venture that the number is not 99%? I'm guessing you don't, and it's just your opinion. If you do have those numbers I would love to see them. That's not sarcasm. This is a subject near and dear to my heart because my brother and I know many incels.
You know how the internet has made 2 different terms for nice guys? There are nice guys, who are really decent men, and there are "Nice Guys" who are fakes and just acting nice to mask their contempt and/or their desire to get in your pants.
I'm starting to think there should be 2 terms for incels. One to be used for the misogynistic assholes, and another to use for the hundreds of incels my brother and I have known, close to half of whom are women. You read that correctly. Women. (Though the misogynistic assholes for whatever reason insist that women can't be incels)
My brother was born with cerebral palsy. He, and subsequently I, grew up around many disabled people. Many of them were deformed, or mentally disabled, or a host of other things that rendered dating extremely difficult indeed. (And if you're about to say, "Being disabled and/or deformed does not make dating extremely difficult! Why I know/saw a disabled/deformed person who has a spouse!" then I'm about to tell you that the examples you're pointing to are outliers, not the rule. Don't believe me? Go visit a state nursing facility and witness the countless heartbroken individuals who are 50, 60, 70 year old virgins about to go to their graves like that)
Now my brother married. His face was never disfigured and many have said he's quite handsome. In addition to being a make up artist (who touched the face of Cindy Crawford no less!), he is also a licensed counselor for the disabled who has worked very closely with therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists. Sex and dating is the number 2 problem he deals with. He doesn't pull punches. Dating is difficult for his clients and some never do. He's watched too many of his friends and clients go to their graves (sometimes prematurely) as virgins, in spite of being friendly, as positive as possible, and good people, to believe otherwise. He has held them in his arms as they very understandably wept about never knowing romantic love. He has tried his best to come up with strategies for coping. His wife and I have joined him in holding these people. If you're about to write a sentence with the phrase "pity party " in it, then know that if you did that in my brother's presence, he would probably go full Santa Claus from Miracle on 34th Street and hit you on the head with his cane! Their pain is very legit and sometimes it's very understandable that they break down and weep.
If I sound proud of my brother, it's because I am.
But these disabled clients of his are by no means the only incels I know. I have a few friends who are incels, in the sense they haven't had sex in... well probably as long as you've been in alive, Ez. Two of my aunts were incels in the technical sense. One died a virgin at 89, the other died having only had sex with a man who beat her. Both did their best in a bad situation, but at times I could tell they were understandably sad.
Originally there was a psychologist on YouTube who worked on researching incels, but I'm damned if I can remember her name. This was well before Elliott Rodger when hardly anyone knew the word "incel". She recorded the statements of 5 incels, 2 of whom were women. None of them were entitled or violent. None of them said anything misogynistic. None of them expressed hatred of any kind. If I remember correctly, it was called the Incel Project. Any rate, since the term incel has become synonymous with misogyny and violence, Project Incel has disappeared from YouTube. I suspect it was removed. A pity because I think it shouldn't have been.
The incels I know aren't the violent misogynists you speak of. They are lonely people who are, for various reasons, haven't experienced love. Sometimes they are understandably sad. None of them that I know are violent. None of them feel entitled to love or sex. Many of them don't even call themselves incels or even know the word. Many are women. They aren't Elliott Rodger. They are the grocery store clerk you just said hi to. They're the banker who completed your transaction. They're the crossing guard who make sure your kids are safe. They are often your family or friends. You might even love one and not even know they haven't been with someone in years. Most are just trying to get by just like you.
I agree with you, Ez. The number is probably not 99%. Although I don't have scientific numbers, based on my experience, when you include the incels I wrote about, the number is probably more like 99.99%.
And yes, their social media is FULL of misogyny and violent language. But what isn't talked about, and what you failed to talk about in your post, Ez, is that they're message boards are equally full of severe depression, mental health issues, and suicidal ideation. The media often only mentions that in passing.
I believe that for every incel that turns a gun on someone, there are at least as many, and probably many more who turn a gun on themselves. My brother has lost a client from suicide.
Many people just think, "An incel killed himself? Good riddance to bad rubbish!" Tell that to the grieving families they leave behind.
Telling them they're not entitled to sex/love, or love isn't all that important, and the million other useless things that people on GAG say is not helpful. In fact it's often insulting since the overwhelming majority never thought they were entitled to love and they really ARE trying to better their conditions. They need real help.
Forgive me, Ez. Once I get started, it's sometimes hard to stop. 😉 And if you've read this far, I thank you. 😊
I did read it, but while I am running on like 2 hours of sleep over the last few days, I did see one of your sentences that kind of frightens me.
"And yes, their social media is FULL of misogyny and violent language. But what isn't talked about, and what you failed to talk about in your post, Ez, is that they're message boards are equally full of severe depression, mental health issues, and suicidal ideation. The media often only mentions that in passing."
That first part you sort of glossed right over there that mentions the misogyny and violent language. You don't just get to paintbrush over that and talk about severe depression.
I have severe depression. I hate everything about myself. I have, on more than one occasion, opted to try and end my life rather than to keep going. You know what I don't do? Post things about harming anyone else just because of their gender.
I sincerely hope you find sunnier slopes, Ez. Lately I'm afraid I find myself on occasion waking up and wishing I had died in my sleep. That's different from wanting to kill one's self though. I feel for you.
The reason why I didn't get into more detail about the misogyny and violence is twofold. A) You and most people have already covered it at length. B) My response is to shed light on the incels who *aren't* violent or misogynistic, many of whom are contemplating ending their lives.
Your response is nothing I haven't read a bajillion times before. Just Google the word "incels" and you'll see reams of articles basically saying what you and so many on GAG have already said. Search the word "incels" on GAG. Same thing. How many actually focus on the depression, mental health issues, and suicidal ideation? A paltry few.
If all one does is read message boards on incel forums, or GAG for that matter, it's easy to think that the violent and misogynistic ones are legion. But every single one of those my brother and I have met in real life, and it's more than a hundred, are decent people, not violent or misogynistic in any way. Not a single one. This makes me believe the violent and misogynistic ones are a very vocal minority. Dangerous to be sure, and that must be dealt with, but a small minority nonetheless.
I thought I made it abundantly clear that I wasn't speaking about a tiny but dangerous minority (because that's an issue that you and countless others have been addressing again and again for all the seven years I've been on gag). I was speaking about the overwhelming majority who are seriously depressed and quite possibly pose a danger to themselves.
If anyone is brushing or glossing over things it's the people who never seem to address this.
Here is the thing, I 100% believe you when you say that there are a majority who actually are as you said. I feel confident that the number is not 99%, but a majority who are non harmful individuals is definitely a majority. It is the same with every stance including feminism.
For the record, I dont feel like anyone should be alone, but I will say some make it really hard for anyone go want to be around them as well.
I'm depressed and haven't been in a relationship, but there's no fucking way I'd ever subscribe to red/black pill ideology. I am not entitled to a girlfriend, and both men and women are more than just a sack of instincts.
Depression isn't an excuse to be a bigot. I've been suicidal for the past 7 years- if I ever wind up completing suicide, that doesn't turn me into an infallible pitycase who was too broken to know what he was doing! Go to the fucking doctor, don't blame your woes on women! Fight for universal healthcare, not to end feminism!
"Oh but I'm ugly, no woman would ever date me!" First off, even if that were true you could live a happy life without dating. Second, that is DEFINITELY not true- I've seen a bunch of those pictures y'all post. Most of you aren't Quasimodo, it's your gross personality that's chasing people off.
"Most incels are normal people" not when the central ideology seems to be "I can't get laid because women/feminism sucks! Not getting laid is a bad thing!" That entire premise is misogynistic, man! You can't look at an incel forum without seeing someone advocating for rape or for women to be subjugated as sex slaves! That shit is disturbing and none of you should tolerate it!
"Telling men that sex/love isn't important isn't helpful." And yet it's true! Romance isn't required for a happy life, yet you all seem to base your whole damn personalities around "I don't get laid, and because of that I'm unhappy."
You're part of a male supremacist group, you're not going to get any sympathy from me. I have female friends and I don't like the fate incels have in mind for them.
@ez-bri-z "It is the same with every stance including feminism." Sadly you're right
"For the record, I dont feel like anyone should be alone, but I will say some make it really hard for anyone go want to be around them as well." Also sadly true.
And I thank you for taking the time to read and make every effort to understand what I wrote, which is more than I can say for travisfromoregon.
Imagine for a moment this was a white woman, the media would go into her upbringing and how it's so sad society ostracised her and forced her to do something terrible.
The opposite is true in this case. Although this situation definitely fucking glows
It's Vice media dude. Vice and VOX are too of the scummiest, far-left woke shill publications out there. Why WOULD you expect them to be fair and honest?

They always look to blame someone and not mentally ill people
I bet if that guy lost a lot of weight, but his social skills were still weak or understanding of social dynamics were inferior, he still would have struggled to get laid
This is how we know we are dealing with collectivists. They take this one guy and latch onto him because he is the most convenient target to make a model of all incels.
Because most people aren't incels. More straight people than gay people have anal. The reason being is that there are a lot more people that are straight.

It would serve them all right if their lies became truths. Go ahead and encourage more violence and against them and they will start killing more women and sensational journalists. feminists are the real cancer.

Yes. What did you expect the media to do with this story other than talk nonsense about something they don't understand and don't care about.
17.3K opinions shared on Society & Politics topic.
Well…you can’t argue that “pilled” guys are radicalized.

this here is actually the truth, society will always blame incels for committing crimes even if they don't have the slightest clue what that word means.
