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

/r/thebluepill thread

New sub: /r/IncelsWithoutHate

Meanwhile on Voat

I don’t think using transactional metaphors for sex with this particular group of redditors is a good idea.

It's the whole "I did X, therefor I am owed Y" mentality that I think really hurts them.

That's exactly what everybody in this thread is suggesting tho. They're making the assumption incels are all slobs, unproductive and generally uninteresting people with no hobbies. So if they do these N number of things they'll get a woman to like them. Not true.

The truth is inceldom is closer to depression than it is a matter of circumstances, as a person who spend a lot of years wallowing like these people...you don't truly understand until you go through the same thing. These guys have a lot deeper issues than hygiene and having hobbies.

Well you are certainly correct, however, what the post doesn’t include is how long it takes. And yes it certainly is depression fueled, but I’m not a doctor, so I will give advice that has been known to work for other people. Use that advice for a while, recognize that the current thought process is not conducive to their goals, and over several years they may have a shift in self perception.

This isn’t about getting women, it should be about changing their self perception.
