Your statement implies that both “femcel” and “incel” (I guess we’re gendering everything now…) are a good thing to be embraced and encouraged. I and the vast majority of humans posit that this is fucked up, divisive, us-vs.-them, inflammatory, evil stupidity that can be entirely circumvented by taking care of yourself and your community and just talking to like one other fleshy meatbag IRL.

Femcel is a parody of incel; while making light and accepting being feminine while not being “perfect and quiet and nice” in an often exaggerated manner to the point of the “forever alone, terminally online female” idea. See https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/femcelmemes - you’ll see “verging on feral” is a common trope - but being your messy self is a key thread between the me-mes.

This isn’t some gendered divisive thing you are cooking up in your head; incel is gendered male by default. Just how it is. Femcel is a parody of it.

And clearly, part of being your messy self is getting into a relationship and absolutely trashing the other person emotionally because you’re the hot mess express.

Gotta get Peter griffin in here to explain the me-mes!

Ay fuck your bad faith shit, this me-me is aligned towards feminine-presenting people (hence the call out for pockets) who want to date men. Sucks it ain’t you, but it’s roughly half the world, so it’s for a goodly amount of people to enjoy

I’m guessing you don’t know what “spring breakers” meant, listen to the song by XCX to get a vibe for this if you actually want to try to have a laugh at this me-me

When you’re accustomed to privilege, the liberation of others feels like oppression.

Two genders, men and political Two races, white and political.

So yeah, you’re not coming off as defensive or entitled at all /s
