For context, this is an infamous scene from Gundam where a girl asked the 'protagonist' out and he responds by ripping her invite in half and saying "I'll kill you"

Most normal people find it funny because it's out of nowhere, ridiculous and cringe. Incels find it funny because 'cruelty to femoid is funny. Take that lowly feeemale'

Anyway, theres a lot of media, particularly 90s' media and anime, that show verbal abuse towards woman, usually the love interest, and even to this day the response from a lot of young men who grow up with it is "Wow what a chad, putting that slur in her place!" Then we wonder why a lot of dudes grow up to think abusing women is good and cool, who get mad when it turns out in real life a lot of women don't like assholes that treat them like shit (but incels will still claim that they do like it because they grew up with media and advertising that tells them they do.)

Also, what's the deal with these guys thinking anything friendly girls do is fake?

BTW, how many of you tried to press that play button? :owl-wink: gottem

    I don't think I ever brought up mental health. Plenty of sexists like this are 'Normal' and successful under capitalism. I think assuming these youtube commenters are mentally ill is a stretch

    Even if we're talking about mentally ill men, There are plenty of socially awkward and mentally ill men and women that don't engage in abusive behaviour.

      Oh absolutely thats the point, mental illness doesn't predicate being abusive and shitty. Like the post is cool but its just the comments in the thread by normies who assume that incels as a whole are abusive because they "havent worked on themselves enough" or some bullshit along those lines. No its because their ontological framework basically amplified everything that our disgusting culture told them about life up to 9000% and ran with it, is the problem

        Yeah, incels are a product of thir environment just like everyone else I guess, but so is my landlord, so we don't by any means 'gotta hand it to 'em'
