Like, I see this very frequently here. People are making some really nasty "jokes" and endlessly complaining about white women and white girls etc, and it's just so obvious so much of the time that the "white" thing is just a facade to hide the sexism. Like seriously, when you make jokes about how girls fuck dogs or whatever, but you specify WHITE girls, it's still garbage incel humour. It's always white women this, white women that. Like, why do you feel such a pressing need to specify they're women? At times like this it just shows how male this sub is. And not just male, but also very white, which makes it even cringier when people do le epic white women thing.
Seconding this, if you've ever seen a site like 4chan, the nexus of inceldom, the incel content is h e a v i l y bound up in racism.

Yeah that's really interesting.
Someone said every otherwise stupid ideology uses a partial truth as a hook- some narrow area where it's actually more correct than mainstream thought. That must be the incel hook.
They're very aware that personal appearance is a highly unforgiving and influential aspect of human life. And for many people, they're right - their appearance might be ruining their lives, and nobody wants to acknowledge that that's even possible.
Funny thing is, because the individual members are generally hetero men, they have no way of judging their own appearances. So a lot of them look fine lol! Even good, generally not 10/10 hot because they would notice, but sometimes pretty hot.
But the ideology is kind of developed and sharpened by those members who really are quite ugly, like maybe they have a congenital problem, injury, or are overweight etc. Since everyone is just atomized sitting at their computer, everyone starts thinking about themselves like they were born with a really socially debilitating appearance.

Yeah bit of both, I agree the body dysmorphia is the primary cause, but also it's durable because of their monoculture
