People will do what society incentivizes vs. punishes them for.

Personally it takes a long time and a lot of proof for me to label someone something. I might call THEIR actions and behavior something derogatory in the heat of the moment. But outright labeling someone something quickly without consideration is a sign of mental laziness and ignorance.

For example there are some very left leaning types on GAG. Obviously I vigorously disagree with them. A few of them I really just can’t stand. But I am not calling them “libtards” or other crap.

However I have taken some effort to get to know a few of them. One lives in a very conservative area of the nation. So I can see how he feels uncomfortable with his surroundings. Given I live in an area that is very leftist (and didn’t used to be that way) I can relate to how he feels.

Another guy works in healthcare and sees people get denied insurance coverage often which sometimes leads to death. Healthcare insurance is an extremely complicated topic but I can see why that makes him left from his own POV.

So how does this relate to “incels”? Right or wrong something drives people to act a certain way. It can be the environment, past experiences, etc. They might be immature or have mental conditions. Some of these “incels” may feel entitled to an attractive woman which is improper expectations.

But it’s also true they have been seriously wronged by our society given they are hetero men. And they are not allowed to be authentic about it. Especially in public, in the workplace, at school, etc?

I admit I went through an “incel” phase a few years ago. It really stemmed to by how one of my ex gfs treated when we broke up. Not the fact we broke up but HOW she did it. She was making friends with the wrong crowd at the time (truly radical feminist types) who definitely negatively influenced her. And I was powerless from a societal POV to when it came speaking my mind.

She broke up with me with her friends in her near vicinity. It was all setup and intentional. And I never even thought about getting physically violent with her the whole time we dated. Never. But I was constrained to speak my mind given that being a man I might be “threatening”. That haunted me for a very long time.

So you're not aware that there are a lot of black guys in the mens' movement that get labeled "incel" too. But "simp" is a more generic term that can be applied to any guy who worships women.

A better example of what you're trying to say would be "cracker". I don't think anybody should be attacking anyone else based on race.

Flower7 · Answer

Because incel, wimp, and simp have nothing to do with race.

purplepoppy · Answer

Why not refrain from referring to any group in a derogatory manner?

alice55 · Answer

incel, wimp, or simp are not words used to describe just White men they can describe any men

jshm2 · Answer

Because those are not legally recognised "racist" terms. Mainly as they have fuck all to do with race! You need a better education, kiddo.

mattthefatbat · Answer

Incel wimp and simp aren't racist words to literally anyone. Anyone can be a incel, wimp, and a simp. Not all at once though, only i can be good enough for all 3 loll

Summeroflove · Answer

It is if it’s talking about all white men lol. Most people aren’t talking about all white men just men that fit that category which can be any race

lilBigPotato · Answer

Because you're examples are not specific to an ethnic race but can apply to anyone. That being said throwing slurs of any kind at people shows low character

RSav4013 · Answer

I mean specifically for those labels (incel, wimp and simp) they can apply to anyone from any race so I don't know why it would be considered a racial slur towards white people.

Astarlessnightsky · Answer

Incel, simp and whimp are not racist slurs, they refer to men of any ethnicgroup. Incels even refer to themselves as incels.

Incels, simps and wimps have never been enslaved, lynched, murdered, falsely imprisoned or suffered one one-millionth of black men's 405-year American oppressive ordeal.

Jennz6 · Answer

I don’t refer to people in a derogatory manner and nobody else should either.

AnonAndrew · Answer

Incel, wimp, and simp aren't racial. I don't think we really should use those words either, though.

Filthy_Immigrant · Answer

incel, simp and wimp dont just apply to white men. anybody can be those things. trust me, I see black men calling other black men "simp" all the time for letting their women get fat and still drool over them

Babygirl_S · Answer

These terms define behaviour and shouldn’t apply to only one particular race. Abusive men often think gentlemen are simps. They aren’t because they have limits. Simps are those who mindlessly serve x type of women.

avery58 · Answer

Do only white men have their share of incels, wimps, and simps?

CheeseMonster · Answer

It is not racist to call a black man an incel, wimp, or simp.

princeofromance · Answer

Those are not racist terms. Just as calling a woman outside of her name is not racist. These are labels attached to certain people by a deranged society.
