Take valid social commentary about capitalism's commodification of intimate relationships and the impact that has on our ideas of dating
Turn it into ridiculous, hyperbolic, misogynistic, victim complex nonsense
Oh yeah, we're greentexting today.
They always get so close
Yup. If they skip all the steps until the end, there would be no need to go through that wall of green text :'D
Yeah, can we please not distribute the insane bullshit of incels on 4chan.
I mean, this isn’t even funny.
Agreee
It's funny in the sense of "are you reading what this moron wrote? They actually think this? Pathetic."
The whole thing is so fucking ridiculous that anyone who truly thinks this way should be mocked.
Most of the comments here are pointing out how stupid it is and talking about personal accountability and the actual reality of relationships.
It's not an endorsement — it's a window into the clown show.
I think it's funny, thanks for posting
True!
But sometimes I just think it’s not worth it spreading the mental illness of others. Let it be confined to 4chan, where the post soon will be gone.
I also think it’s not great to equate incels with mental illness. I have CPTSD, depression and anxiety and none of those make me act like a fucking misogynistic twat. Inceldom isn’t mental illness, and equating it to or calling it mental illness does a whole lot of people a massive disservice.
Incellishness may not be in the DSM5, but personally I don't think someone can be mentally healthy and an incel at the same time.
Being an incel is a choice; mental illness is not. You wouldn’t refer to incels as disabled and it’s similarly unfair to refer them as being mentally ill. Being an incel is just another form of bigotry. Racists, sexists, queerphobes etc. aren’t mentally ill. The most generous descriptors I could give them is that they’re either misguided, brainwashed, or both.

It's short for "involuntarily celibate", though.
Although I guess identifying with those words is the choice you're talking about

I'd argue that their brains are at a state of did-order, be that due to someone having pushed propaganda on them or not.
Some people are less capable of being critical of their own thoughts. For example, young children are very impressionable. Lots of people grow out of it. Lots of people don't.
If I harassed you with say, targeted ads and some videos I made on YouTube, it could definitely make you stressed out, thus me having affected your mental health.
Now being a racist because you grew up in a small racist/sexist/homophobic town or something might not be the exact same thing, but the point I'm trying to make is that their wrong choices — like "choosing" (I use quotations because it's not exactly a conscious choice people make, although displaying those attitudes definitely is) to be racist or transphobic or whichever kind of bigot — are a symptom of the disorder they're having.
That disorder usually being amathia, willfull ignorance.
hahah yeah, ~50% is the new 1%, that's certainly economically viable...
Misdirection. The problem is the lack of public commons culture and gathering points in the USA. More sane countries have places people gather in the evenings without exploitation or stigma about showing up alone. Our car centric nonsense and sprawl are a massive liability for present environmental and social needs.
This dude’s problems run a bit deeper than simps. Though, simps DO suck.
Simps don’t suck; they do the dating world a service. Anyone whose concept of self-esteem is so external that they derive it from the admiration of strangers is not someone who is ready for a serious or monogamous relationship. Simps help identify those people and weed them out of the regular dating pool.
Funny thing about those "unsuitable" people you've described: when they don't get rewarded, and increasingly so for attention seeking behaviors, they find other outlets.
Then again, there's little for personal growth like taking a breather from having to struggle for food and rent.
The worst thing about OnlyFans/porn is all the people who think as you do and consider those who "grow out of it" to be used goods. Definitely OOP and too many people today.
I love the use of Molly Ringwald for the picture. The person who in all their roles wouldn't be on onlyfans because each character was hyper concerned about being proper.
In OPs future, beeing on OF is proper
Can we talk about why homeboy didn’t just pay for silver? Seems worth it IMO.
that's the difference between him and the simps
Anon imagines half the global population can be the 1%.
Need to expand your dating pool anon.
Who knows, maybe 99% of women have died by the year 2035.
Hope my math checks out. If not I’m sure someone else will correct it:
I was just curious: With a projection of 9.000.000.000 people living in 2035: If 99% of the woman died as you said this would be 45.000.000 living woman. This would result in a population of 4.500.000.000 people in total. So we need to find a reason why half of the total population died 😉
Anon's got problems, and somehow that's everyone else's fault. Classic 4chan
Anyway meanwhile in normal human land, the presence of pornography does not decrease the dating pool.
Exactly right; sex work has always existed (relative to the existence of currency/bartering tribute and some semblance of homo sapien societies) and will always exist in some form. There have always been those who are willing to be in relationships with sex workers and those that won’t. The landscape has changed, but the world’s oldest profession remains.
I'm not siding with the crazy person posting the green text, just explaining their point. They are saying that the simps made it so profitable to be a virtual girlfriend that all women have become one, and there are no girls left that will date him because they've learned they can profit off of sex. When you really read it, op is an incel and believes the only thing keeping women from prostitution is the guaranteed paycheck. Op believes that once they realize the money will come in, every girl in the world will become a professional sex worker.
Completely ignoring the laws of supply and demand in the process.
