This is appalling, but unfortunately not even slightly surprising: An “involuntarily celibate” Redditor has openly admitted to raping an unconscious woman.
Naturally, he is completely unapologetic about it, declaring that “[r]eproduction is objectively the point of living. You can’t expect someone to let such an opportunity to slide.”
Knajjd11, a regular poster in the Incels subreddit, made the comments in a discussion in r/Drama, a subreddit devoted to, well, Reddit drama. He has since removed the comments in question but not before someone archived them here.
Here’s a screenshot of the relevant portion of the discussion. It starts with Knajjd11 declaring that, contrary to the insinuations of others in the thread, he has in fact “touched a woman.” And then it gets very ugly, very fast:
In a later comment (screenshotted here), he further excused his alleged actions on the grounds that the victim wasn’t a virgin, so it didn’t count.
A look at knajjd11’s user profile on Reddit reveals that he’s replaced most of his past comments with spam urging people to go to the Pizzagate forum on would-be Reddit replacement Voat. But his previous posts (which remain up at the moment) suggest that (if the pictures he’s posted are indeed of him) he’s a young man with a perfectly pleasant face (that he thinks is repulsive) and some thoroughly unpleasant opinions that he thinks are perfectly fine.
In one post he declares that incels “lose” when and if they ever end up having mutually pleasurable sex.
In another equally unpleasant post, he suggests that “having a ‘modern’ daughter” is essentially the equivalent of being cuckolded. In the post, he imagines, in sexually explicit detail, a young woman becoming “a worthless slag being pumped and dumped by Chads.” He ends with a series of questions:
[H]ow can so many of you normies be happy having a “western”, a “modern” daughter after so many years of raising and caring for her selflessly? How can you not get sick seeing her turn into a slut for public use? How can you sit still and say “this is fine” while she’s nothing more than a object for Chads to use and throw away like a ***rag? How can you accept her serial “monogamy”, watching her jump from cock to cock? It makes me sick to my stomach. Answers are welcomed.
While we don’t know for sure that knajjd11’s apparent confession of rape is for real and not just internet braggadocio, it’s not exactly hard to see how someone with beliefs like these — a volatile mix of misogyny, aggrieved sexual entitlement and bitter self-loathing — could rape a woman and think of it merely as his due, an “opportunity” to reproduce that he shouldn’t “let … slide.”
If the last few years have taught us anything about the internet it’s that we cannot separate online behavior from the real world. We can’t dismiss the vile opinions we so often see online as mere trolling, or somehow unimportant or unreal because they are posted online. Trolls more often than not end up believing the nonsense they post. And they often act upon these beliefs in the real world.
Incel ideology is horrendous enough to read online; it’s even more sickening to realize that some men are acting out these beliefs in real life. If Knajjd11’s confession is true, his incel beliefs have provided him with what he sees as a legitimate justification for real-world rape.
EDIT: Added an additional comment from Knajjd11 justifying his alleged rape.
H/T – Thanks to tracertong322 on Reddit who brought this to my attention as well as to sys34 on Reddit, who posted the screenshot that enabled me to find Knajjd11’s comments.
@ nonthinkinmass: FYI, testicles being “wrinkled as shit” is not an indicator of future testicular cancer. It is an indicator that you have testicles. Most tend to come with some wrinkling.

I think that it’s the scrotum that is “wrinkled”, not the testicles.
Fucking hell… please tell me that this has been reported to the authorities, and they’re looking into tracking this guy down! It doesn’t sound like he was joking, to me!
@kupo
Oh excuse me if it came over like that, but how else can I address people explaining things about others they actually cannot experience themselves? Btw I’m not identifying myself through any gender. And I don’t like masculinity.
Please quote where I blamed only women? You know, anyone not experiencing something can advocate “what is good” for others without thinking deeper about it. It’s just that, to actually experience the issue when sitting with legs completely closed (squeezed) you need at least have these particular body parts. I am talking about the physiology only, those people having a penis and feeling uncomfortable when squeezing.
That makes sense and I never sat in such a stupid “bragger” position, those sitting exorbitantly wide open are assholes. I am talking about squeezing, thus complete contrary to that.
Hmm If you think so, that’s yours. I am not the “self-defender” reactive person if you’re looking for that.
Whatever. If you want to see bragging self-defending people then I have to pass.
@Zatar
Yeah me too, but I am not that thin on my hips.
Honestly I don’t know. It’s definitely painful and I have pains since I am sitting completely squeezed to avoid taking space best as possible.
@weirwoodtreehugger: chief manatee
Are you an expert about testicular cancer? I am not. But I heard that stuff on google news some time in a medical news outlet and my doc once said that warm testicles can get prostatae cancer.
Yes, hey that is totally reasonable, fully supporting you there and imo those men exaggerating their space are full jackasses and assholes. I don’t like that either when people crash their bodies into mine I totally hate that too yes. I am talking about what is okay as space and what not. And honestly that problem doesn’t only exist in public transport, it’s everywhere where space is rather small.
But idk like 10cm from knee to knee is what I am on about,.
I am not a person who assumes stuff about others, but I listen to you and anyone with different bodies and respect that, as you have that actual body and such only you can experience it.
You should have the full right to not feel any inconvenient, so you should definitely get all opportunities to sit comfortable and have space yes!
Okay, but I am not sure about testicles.
I was upset about these group of men talking shit on the internet about women i.e mgtow, incels and mras etc. These people talk the most shit about women and man.
@Viscaria the Cheese Hog
I am squeezing because I am not sure what the perfect space is. My hips are not that thin in relation to the rest of my statue, I wish they were.
@Grace of Spades
Strange why didn’t it looked like that before then? It looks horrible and I don’t want anyone to see it. And I am so glad that I’m fortunately not a needy personality, thus I can life without sex, it’s totally fine with the plus of not getting naked in front of other people. Everyone should have the right for not having sex, or not getting naked.
I feel disgusted from sperm too. I once thrown up because of that and sometimes I get nightmares. I feel disgusted about my sex (body) even If I am a good person and never done bad things. I hate my sex, it’s stupid, ugly, “blocky”, inferior, awkward, and when getting objectified we have no one to talk to because men are stupid and have never emancipated and created awareness. They never advocated for a healthy way, it’s just pure destructive (mgtow, mra shit), they kept being the “fuckers” they were expected to from back in the days. They do not use their brain. They do the most violence and most shit everyday. I once got beaten up by a group of aggressive men Those general homophobic street aggressors, rapist mentalities, I am wondering why society still likes men. Seeing how men all time destroy any opportunity for moving forward, no they come out of their caves and begin to harass women and talk shit (mgtow, mras, incels). Like that shit what happend at vidcom, misogynists from youtube came out just to destroy the image of all people with male bodies further and then go on with their typical “alpha” nonsense.
I hate my body so fuckin deeply, I see all these mad people haunting me, having destroyed any self love. Who even want’s to listen to someone being self-critical, in this sexist society I guess it’s actually 0 people. This world is so fucking primitive. Sorry people what my sex does to you.
@Mass
But also
If you can talk about your own nads without making essentialist gender pronouncements, I’m sure you can extend the same courtesy elsewhere
Please quote where she used the word “only”
Choice citation, fam. Personally, if I were as concerned about getting cancer as you seem to be, I’d have more research going than that
The fuck?
So, your “squeezing” is entirely self inflicted? Pretty sure that’s a personal problem, yo…
Sorry you feel that way (valid, still sad), but, yeah, scrotes tend wrinkly, fam. Not all the time or anything, but there’s so and so amount or skin. When the fuckers pull up, there’s usually some folding going on. Geometry, ya know?
Being a sexual person ain’t the same as being “needy”. Some asexual folks require lots of interaction and affection, some allosexuals are good as loners
Is someone making you get naked on the bus? I’ve lost the thread completely here
Not even getting into that last bit. Not remotely qualified…
For the curious, this whole thing – along with his username – is a subtle brag about how big he thinks his dick is. Of course, since the real goal of manspreading is sexual harassment with reasonable denial, that shouldn’t be too much of a surprise.
Axe pretty much covered it, but “actually female feminists, who have no testicles” was the specific part I was referring to when talking about both cis-normative and blaming women. But I still don’t believe you’re here in good faith.
Given that you can’t change the width of your hips, you will be taking up that much space no matter what. There is therefore no reason to squeeze your legs together more closely than that.
Pretty sure this one is just wanking now. And I do mean that literally. I think they just wanted to come into a feminist space and talk about their genitals.
The self loathing bit at the end combined with the fact that this is an incel post and the general disgust at the human body makes me think we have someone who’s made their way over from the incel subreddit.
