What I don’t understand is how something so emotionally charged doesn’t change any culture any people or anything socially it’s all internal instead of external despite the profound emotions.
There is an incel movement? Did you have to join?
Write to your representative about it, I’m sure they would be very interested.
What has gotten into you, Bob? This is not you.
You just want futurani to rule the world, don’t you, The_Emotion?
Oh, the incel movement changed much more: now we have normalize onlyfans, plastic surgery is the new make-up, sex robots are already available, porn online has the greatest tallies of viewers in all of history and that’s not just the increased population. The incel movement led to the entire trans schism and popularity, it popularized the home politician who doesn’t vote or read, and it raised the price of food.
Some effects are hard to track but that doesn’t make them any less real.
Electronics have changed anything except those parts changed by the incel boys.

No I did not have to join it in fact I don’t have to identify with it but reality is reality technically according to their definition I would be an incel. Now politics what a complex game.
Recovering from my cancer operation has changed my perspective on some things. But hey, I am now cancer free!

I think the only two things that incels slightly influenced are the transgender movement some transgenders became transgender because they were incel and internet porn because they have sexual feelings as the rest of us. But no the incel movement will only be remembered as a footnote in history especially compared to Electronics which 50 percent of humanity uses.
You should maybe call it an inmovement.

You may well be right about how they will be remembered, but even societal memories are guided by prejudice and bias. The engine of their malice, dissatisfaction and yearning is even now undermine who swathes of the culture. I think anyone can see why few would want to admit this and choose to dissociate.

Are you kidding? It has had a huge effect. People stopped calling men mysoginistic and started calling them incels. Incel is a household word now. In the running to be the most overused word of the decade.
Exactly. And if we are overusing a word, we are underusing other words and not just mysoginistic. All those other words that might have inspired inventions (the cure for cancer?), led to romantic or professional bonds, started the prolegomena to paradigm bursting metaphysics or become a hit song. The world fairly chimes with the silence of all that never will be.
Why the thumbs down @The_Emotion ? Did I say something incorrect?

Thank you for teaching me a new word. The world is chiming now thanks to you.
How do you pronounce it? praw-leh-go-me-na? with accents on pro, go and na?
Big stress on go, secondary on pro - I have never said that word out loud. It’s like ‘Wanna go see a movie?’ is to an incel. It’s plural, but you probably found that part out.
Just because the word is used a lot doesn’t mean that it changed anything.
Tell that to people about the word ‘bomb’.
What kind of change are you looking for? If people talking about your “movement” all the damn time doesn’t count.
As Def Leppard says Action Not Words.
Yes, for example? What kind of action?
