      “I need to make people I don’t like look as silly as possible!”

      “I know! I’ll portray them as being in a loving relationship!”

      Incels are just failed jocks and it shows. Trying to keep bullying the nerd well into adulthood. Like how is this any different from just hating them because “fucking geeks!”

        I thought this image originated from an angry little sister.

        "On November 20th, 2020, iFunny[1] user Big_Ed posted a comic with the caption “I have decided to become a millennial comic artist. My original characters are:” followed by a depiction of two millennial stereotypes. "

        No, it was just some guy with a 404’d iFunny account

      I understand that the meme is problematic but I kind of loved it and it sucks if Quirk Chungus is becoming a right-wing thing

        There’s nothing wrong with turning into the weird echoes of our parents as age and experience turns our skin to leather and our thoughts drift like dandelion seeds. So what if along the way you get quirked up and adopt a pet? Maybe meet someone who shares the wavelength you’re on?

        This meme is just taking the meanest, least charitable look at a thing we’re all gonna go through.

      Incels are beyond pathetic. Imagine thinking “having a sense of humour” is somehow a negative in a woman. Though I guess they only want women to exist as pure sexual objects, so literally any sort of personality is the threat to them. No idea why they hate the guy though, probably just jealous of literally any guy in a relationship and make up reasons why that is actually bad.

      They always have this obsession with getting laid and forming a relationship, but their entire worldview makes both of those completely impossible. It’s like a controlling manipulative cult, except without a centralised leader.

      …that actually sounds closer to a superficial description of a Daoist Sage.

      Running with that idea: With incels lacking inner peace*, they might find it confusing to encounter people who express some kind of comfort in their self and don’t define it through power displays?

      *though inner peace is possibly the wrong word - coherence perhaps? assurance? Not being at peace doesn’t make someone an asshole. But that’s the limit of an off-the-cuff analogy!
