Protip: This is not the look of a woman who is secretly in love with you
By David Futrelle
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the real world that watching them is a bit like watching aliens try to make sense of human mating patterns based on an out-of-date A-Z guidebook meant for a different planet entirely.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!!
