Should incels just start calling themselves "asexual"?

[Anonymous]

Wouldn't that switch them from aggressor to victim? Sure, they talk trash about women, but literally 100% of asexual women I've ever seen, talks shit about men. Constantly. It would be pretty much equal.

Would this be a good strategy?

[Anonymous]

most incels are left-wingers anyway. they hate capitalism, they hate being told to man up, they hate high-testosterone good-looking right-wing men, they prefer the beautiful conservative woman over the ugly liberal woman etc.

[Asker]

Even easier for them to become the A in LGBTQIA then

[Filthy_Immigrant]

that makes no damn sense. asexual is someone who doesn't desire sex or feels sexual attraction.

incels are obviously attracted to women and desire sex but they obviously can't have it

[Asker]

It's about lying to rebrand. Not like anyone will know. And then they get to be part of the victim class.

[Filthy_Immigrant]

dude that's like saying you dont drink water to deny that you are thirsty

[Anonymous]

Asexuals have no interest in sex even to the point of disgust in my case

[Asker]

Please don't let people call you an incel then. This is your orientation and you deserve to be protected and supported.

I haven't ever been called it, the difference is clear irl

[Anonymous]

Asexual means you aren't attracted to anyone, though. Isn't the proper definition of an incel a guy who is atreacted to women but can't get one?

[Asker]

But let's be honest, the vast majority of asexual women are just incels that are pretending to be asexual. So, I'm just talking about optics and strategy.

[Opinion Owner]

I'm almost certain a woman can easily get a guy if they wanted. There's no shortage of desperate and pathetic men.

[Asker]

And an incel can bang a prostitute or an old, morbidly obese woman. 99% of the use of the term is really about not wanting to compromise on attraction standards or effort. So why not just rebrand into something that gives them clout and power?

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

No, because they desire sex and just can't get it. Asexual people don't generally desire sex. I think incel is the correct term.

[Asker]

Plenty of asexual women are also incels, but they're just smart enough to not say they can't get sex with someone they're attracted to. But just think how much an male incel could elevate their social status if they get moved from the villain category for being gross and ugly, to the hero category, by being part of the LGBTQIA+, ya know?

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

That's just appropriation.

They are incels and will forever be one until they work on their personality.

[Asker]

Correct. It's appropriation. Just like a lot of female incels do. And it works really well. Branding is really all that matters. Incels need a rebranding. I'll help them.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

How are women appropriating anything? It was a woman who coined the term to describe herself and others like her. Well, technically, she started off calling them invcel, but it eventually became incel.

So I ask, what did women take from this movement?

[Asker]

By claiming asexuality but actually being an incel. It's very smart, actually.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

There is a huge difference in being asexual and being an incel. You aren't as smart as you think you're being here on this if you are trying to make that connection.

[Asker]

You aren't as smart as you think you are if you don't understand the point, and have to start with personal insults in an adult conversation.

And you and I both know that I never said they were the same thing. But
Some women pretend to be asexual when they are incels. Some men should do the same. Why be labelled as a villain, when you can gain clout, status and legal protection?

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Oh I understand what you are trying to insinuate, but it's just asinine.

[Asker]

Thanks for sharing your feelings with me.

[seeyounexttuesday]

I think it’s time to retire the incel culture.

[Asker]

I agree. They should just switch to calling themselves asexual and operate under the protection of the LGBTQIA+ community. Let the whole incel thing just die already.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Or they could stop being faggots.

[Asker]

They'll be even bigger faggots with the LGBTQIA+ community, but at least they'll be victimy ones
