r/SubredditDrama Caballero Blanco Nov 07 '17

CHADS WIN! And by chads we mean everyone that isn't Oxus. /r/incels has been banned. Discuss this happening here!

I'll fill this up with drama as it unfolds.

/r/drama thread

/r/subredditcancer thread, including an explicit entreaty for the former users to join the alt right for some reason?

One user advertised r/incelspurgatory in the thread you removed. Admins were already on point, because they've banned it just ~11 minutes ago. Sub lasted about 10 hours last I checked.

r/AgainstHateSubreddits thread

/r/MGTOW thread

New sub: /r/IncelsWithoutHate

I feel very similarly, and I'm so glad I changed a lot as a person before finding out about that sub.

The thing that I think people don't bring up enough when they say this "care about yourself, have confidence, etc." kind of stuff is that it still doesn't erase the fact that no one owes you sex or romance at all. Things like exercise and getting out more and changing one's attitude about women may definitely help one's chances, but the ultimately there's an intangible element of luck - being in the right place at the right time, having the perfect thing come to your head in the right moment, running into someone you have a chance with when you actually have the social energy to capitalize on it, etc. etc.

The truth is, self-care, exercise, cleanliness, being sociable and having a loving attitude toward other people is its own reward. I think all these suggestions people have should take that approach to it, because if you're only doing it for romantic attention then all you're doing is spreading your chips out on the roulette table.

Yeah definitely, I do think there should be more emphasis placed on doing those things just because you should and because you'll feel happier if you do, not because you'll get a reward if you do them, which is definitely not guaranteed.
