I know I write a lot about incels on this blog. It’s not just because they’re such hateful and self-destructive shits; it’s also because they’re so perversely fascinating.
They’ve built up an intricate ideological structure on a foundation of almost pure nonsense. Their assumptions about men and women are so divorced from the real world that watching them is a bit like watching aliens try to make sense of human mating patterns based on an out-of-date A-Z guidebook meant for a different planet entirely.
Incels themselves have a rather different notion as to why some people — or at least some women — can’t stop hate-reading their forums and reading about them. It’s because these women secretly love men who talk shit about them.
In a thread posted on the Braincels subreddit last night, a Redditor called geneticwaste43 explained to the “foids” hate-reading the subreddit — “foids” now apparently being incel shorthand for “Femoids,” or women — that they don’t really hate incels at all.
Mr. Waste43’s compatriots had similar theories about their female, er, “fans.”
It’s almost as if incels are the real aloof asshole alphas that all straight women not-so-secretly hunger for.
You might even call incels the ultimate … oh, I can’t even bring myself to say it.
Black is white! Freedom is slavery! INCELS are CHADS!!
Sadly, it’s more likely that they believe they’re undateable because they’re ‘too smart’ for women.
Welcome to Reddit where there are only two genders and 1 sexual orientation but over 50 shades of women and pedophiles.
And what planet do these incels live on where wo- I mean ‘foids’ are worshipped because sign me up.
This is me being serious again, but “foids” is actually a thing. It’s a contraction of “feldspathoid,” a mineral like feldspar but poor in silica. I thought it was a dumb exercise in creating a useless neologism when it first appeared, so if the incels want to embarrass it out of existence, they have my blessing.
One would naturally feel empathy for an involuntary celibate, but these guys’ attitudes make that difficult.
Nah, it clearly means “bra incel”. These guys are incels because they have shitty bras. Someone needs to tell them that they can just go out and buy different bras. I mean, most bras are horrendously overpriced, but I’m sure these guys could find some nice ones if they just tried. Maybe a nice lacy one?
No, incels… People lurk because such stupid drama tends to be a guilty pleasure on the internet. They’re entertained and laugh at you.
