While the lamestream media wastes its time on trivial issues like the government shutdown and the latest extremely-damaging-to-the-president revelations in the Mueller investigation, the public-spirited fellows over on the Incels.is forums are discussing the issues that really matter in the world today, like “why is rape considered so bad anyway” and “isn’t it hilarious that some dude in India beheaded his cheating wife?”
So weird that these guys have such trouble finding dates.
Here’s a quick look at some of the very important topics being discussed on Incels.is today, a public service I provide from time to time to readers of this blog. (Clicking on the headlines will bring you to an archived version of the thread; virtually all are NSFW.) It’s possible that some of my comments below (and above, come to think of it) might contain some sarcasm.
In this thread, a concerned incel called Durbis raises some questions about this always-controversial topic:
I don’t understand why rape is considered one of the worst things that could possibly happen to someone. Sure it probably sucks in the moment but as if they can’t just move past it? If I was a woman and I got raped I don’t see why it would be so hard to just move past it. They’ve all had sex before so why is rape apparently so traumatizing?
Yeah, women sure are weird thinking rape is some big deal, huh?
In this thread, a self-described “curry” — that is, a fellow of Indian descent — laments that
women of every race fucking hate us.
We desperately need a cure for brown skin. It wouldn’t fix our shitty heights/features/muscles/frames, but it would fix one enormous problem. …
[I]f there was a pill that could cut the melanin production of your entire body by 90%, LOADS of curry men could enter the ranks of normal humanity and maybe even be accepted by women.
If we could have this, we could redeem almost 1/5 of the global male population. …
India should be investing at least 10-20% of its GDP in a Manhattan Project scaled enterprise to find and produce the cure for brown skin.
Clearly this is an absolute necessity because at the present time no Indian men are able to find women to marry and have families with as evidenced by the population of India being seven people.
Incels are as obsessed with this issue as Rachel Maddow is with the Mueller investigation. Which is funny because the COCK CHOCKING issue is so much more important!
Nothing to see here, just a bunch of incels cheering because a Polish man “accidentally” killed five teen girls by setting fire to an escape room where a birthday party was being held.
Nothing to see here, just some incels enjoying a news story on a “gore” site, complete with graphic photos of an Indian woman beheaded by her husband after he discovered her cheating on him.
Mr. Chadani is just looking for a site where he can watch, er, females
being punched, choked, kicked etc. and being sexually abused … maybe even rape clips if they exist and arent filmed on a calculator. nothing makes me stiffer than watching a female suffering.
I’m not going to link to this thread in case some incel there actually provides him with this information.
Once again, it is absolutely inexplicable why women aren’t interested in dating these fellows!
Yeah, the problem DEFINITELY doesn’t have anything to do with their personalities.
Huh. To be honest, that probably doesn’t help, exactly. But really, shouldn’t women be able to overlook a little thing like this? Women are just so shallow, aren’t they?
Incels remain the most persecuted people on planet earth.

“Die Endlösung der roastiefrage” is a direct reference to “die Endlösen der Judenfrage”, the Nazi term for the Holocaust. So they’re basically planning a genocide of women.
But then how’ll they get laid?
@Jerdle Sexbots?
Welp, that’s enough of humanity for me for the year.
More brilliant critical thinking from the Incel crowd! I’ve tried to explain the Incel movement to some acquaintances, most of whom find it almost impossible to believe any group could be quite so repugnant. The usual response I get is that these posters must be an exception or mentally ill. No to the first, yes quite possibly to the second!
Just to obtain additional evidence I decided to check out Incels.IS. Among other things I learned that women are in charge of the CIA. Apparently, “That’s why US drones always strike ugly ethnic dudes.” “Ugly” ethnic dudes beware, u are in the sights of cruel, superficial froids!

@David
The current theory of investigators is that gas cylinders used to heat the building, a converted private house, leaked, starting a fire. There were also no emergency exits. The operator of the escape room was charged with “deliberately creating the danger of a fire in the escape room and with unintentionally causing the death of people in a fire”. This is quite different from “setting fire to an escape room”.
The CIA is who in the US government bombs people. That’s news to me. The incels have so much to teach me!
@wwth
The rest of that incel’s argument is nonsense, but CIA personnel do indeed carry out drone strikes. In fact, the first Hellfire-armed Predator drone was delivered to the CIA, not the USAF.
Incels, their celibacy is actually volunatary
Why are they so vehemently wanted to be hopeless celibate?
I teach high school students, and none speak English as a first language. Yesterday, one asked me about the phrase “a fate worse than death,” as it was in some old video clip she had watched. I never answer questions like that until they guess, and they thought it probably referred to torture. They were surprised to find it meant rape (usually) and were pretty much unanimous in saying death is worse than rape. We didn’t spend a long time on this, since we have exams coming, and this is not on it, but they talked about it for a few minutes No one, boy or girl, had trouble expressing that rape is a traumatic event which would require a healing process (they did not use those words, but conveyed their meaning fairly well)
They are not an exceptionally good group of people. I mean, I like them, and they have moments of greatness, but they are basically normal teens, not a bunch of saints. Just normal kids.
So a group of teens who sometimes struggle with English can grasp that rape is bad, and would probably understand why the question “Why is rape supposed to be so bad?” is a jaw-droppingly stupid thing to say.
TL:DR Incels are dumb and should be laughed at
I can feel my reproduction organs attempting to slide away from this incel nonsense.
@16 Cats and Counting:
FTFY.
That, and the unspoken (or if you’re the president, the very much spoken) counterpoint regarding minorities, is the greatest, most successful lie in all of western society.
“cure for brown skin” – the internalized racism in that post 🙁
Welp, now I’m feeling sorry for incels.
…Never mind.
When I was just a naïve young thing, I used to think that rape was the worst thing that could happen to me, short of a terrible, painful death. Then I read these incel-forum headlines, and changed my mind. That date-rape thing that happened to me in my early 20s? For that matter, every one of the hundreds of sexual harassments/assaults I’ve ever endured in my 50+ years? A total fucking cakewalk compared to wading through this mental sludge pit that they call their safe space.
This is why you’re incels, incels. Not your wrong-slanted eyelids or your too-small wrists or any of those other obsessed-over physical traits that aren’t actually defects. THIS, you motherfuckers. THIS is what’s wrong with all of you.
The “girls’ ass” question seems very strange and stupid. All the other ones are very expected from a forum populated by sentient human feces, but to me this one takes the cake. What sort of answer do you expect? It’s an ass not some sort of rare magic jello. Grab yours and you’ll get a good idea of how it feels. The hatred and self-pitty of Incels doesn’t surprise me anymore, but I have yet to be completly jaded to their incredible stupidity and their sheer strangeness.
Dear incels,
1) Virgins can be raped too, and women are not magically born having already had sex.
2) Not all blowjob-givers (male or female) are into deep-throating, so the number who have actually choked is probably much lower than you think.
@Jane Doe
I dunno, I still think the idea that conservatives are automatically better at money and keeping countries out of debt/deficit is the 20th century’s greatest con.
@Rabid Rabbit
Hmm, yeah, that’s a tough call. Though it could potentially be considered a by-product of “cishet white men are more human than everyone else”.
Had a read of the anti-incels one. One girl was maybe mean to him when he asked her out when he was 15, therefore all women are evil. Also, it isn’t possible to get along with a person of another gender and not want to have sex with them. Friendship is a lie.
Well, I’m convinced now.
I had a conversation with my mother where she agreed with this view. My mother is an intelligent woman, not a feminist, but generally not loaded with poisonous views. I tend to assume that she was minimising because she had been raped, but she has not told me that.
Maybe she thinks that somehow it would be easy to dissociate during the assault and therefore not be so badly affected? Anyway, all pretty fucked up.
I have known a lot of women who have been raped and they were all pretty badly affected – especially as most women are raped by someone they know and have trusted. This is what happened to me, and I have forgotten the actual act, which was many years ago, but what I haven’t forgotten is the fear I felt, being told what was going to happen to me, knowing that that was a fantasy for him.
So many years later I would still happily stand by if he were in the street dying. There is no one I hate as much as him.
That Indian man is as fucked up as they come, but even worse seems to be oblivious to the fact that there are many more men than women in some parts of India.
I actually spent about 45 minutes on my podcast explaining what incels were to my guest. She was simultaneously repulsed and incredulous.
Alexis – wouldn’t mind a listen to that. Any chance of linking it? (You’re blog hasn’t got it yet)
@Rabid Rabbit:
Nah, capitalism is the 20th century’s greatest con. Dependent on unending exponential growth, when everything we know about physics says our long term expansion will be limited to grow as the cube of elapsed time, it’s the world’s biggest Ponzi scheme, so huge it makes Bernie Madoff look like a piker.
@ellesar:
That’s a recipe for significant future social unrest … in a country that possesses atomic weapons. Much fun will be had by all, I am sure.
Re : The Indian guy with a problem about being dark skinned, that is really messed up. The structure of Indian society is going to be an aggravating factor for him too, since ‘higher’ caste Indians are usually paler.
So true! Rape is no big deal.
Involuntary celibacy? Now that’s a big effin’ deal, and the guys on incels.is will tell you all about it.
It is funny (which is to say: not funny at all) how rape alone of all crimes is downplayed by this demographic in this way. They nearly all skew right politically, they’re nearly all law ‘n’ order types who reckon society is going to hell in a handbasket because we’re too soft on lawbreakers dammit, and whose wet-dream fantasies all involve some kind of grotesque Stand Your Ground scenario where they get to shoot and kill someone who trespasses on their sacrosanct private property and get a pat on the back for it. But a woman has her bodily integrity violated? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ What’s the big deal?
