It’s not like we already have Japan with years ahead living this specific social crisis. Something could be learned.

It’s amusing to me that Japan is somewhat of a forecast to economic crises and social obstacles for much of the world. They were grappling with sub-prime lending fiascos before it was generalized to the rest of the world too

Nah, lets just call all lonely men “incels” and sweep the problem under the rug, surely that will never be a problem.

EDIT: Thanks for helping me prove the point, everyone.

Being lonely and being an incel are two very different things.

One is a symptom of the other (both at a societal level and an individual level)

Yes, but they do tend to get lumped together and dismissed the same.

If you don’t want to be called an incel, don’t blame your loneliness and lack of sex on anyone else. Everyone is lonely, it’s nobody’s fault unless you want to blame society as a whole which will get you nowhere. Continue to grow as a human and don’t stop trying to find new avenues of reaching out to others.

And most importantly, never expect someone to like you in any way, no one is obligated to you.

You guys are missing my point. Im not talking about incels, I’m talking about people who just call all lonely guys incels. The way everyone is happily downvoting me when I say this are proving me right.

Everyone is lonely, it’s nobody’s fault unless you want to blame society as a whole which will get you nowhere.

I don’t see anything wrong with blaming society as a whole. There are definitely general problems with it at all times. Like in Nazi Germany or, say, Victorian England and any other time and place, each in its own way.

This phrase feels as if you are putting yourself on the place of “society” to feel strong and the person you are addressing on the place of somebody opposing it.

If they feel that too, then sure as hell they won’t listen to you if they have dignity.

And most importantly, never expect someone to like you in any way, no one is obligated to you.

This works both ways.

You really swung for the fences over somebody saying “calling all lonely men incels are bad.”

You ABSOLUTELY proved his point, this comment was so damn extra in relation to o what you replied to.

Incels aren’t just lonely. That’s not even their defining characteristic. They are primarily egotistical, misogynistic, assholes that no self respecting woman should suffer. Loneliness is just the symptom of that.

If letting them have AI girlfriends makes them happier without impacting anyone, then let the AI girlfriends flow!

A lot of people in this very thread are dumb enough to think that saying sometimes isn’t an incel is the same thing as defending incels, and that you must therefore be an incel yourself. It’s really pathetic how people get triggered by a word like incel and just completely lose their ability to understand the simplest of statements.

Is your point that incels are whiny bitches? We all knew that already but thanks for the reminder, I guess.

To be fair, it cares about you exactly as much as your OnlyFans crush.

Probably a cheaper obsession.

Ok an app that either turned on the flashlight or played a max volume ultra reverb fart sounds would be fucking hilarious
