Couple notes:

  • If you wondered what influencers ever influence - there you have it.
    This seems to be directly taken from couple of streames and taken to the actual physical concept.
  • It mainly occurs in shopping malls (?)
  • Also it's not just incels. There are girls who basically do this to harass other girls they probably would w/o this "movement". It's a mess, honestly.
  • My take: Also the political situation in Poland doesn't help, because recently we had a lot of adults doing "natonal patrols" (patrol obywatelski) in similar vest to pretty much catch illegal immigrants and do political protests while doing it. I know some of teenagers saw this as insanely cool and my conclusion is they want to be part of similar thing.
  • Also "szon" among younger folks seem to be more and more an umbrella slur for people we don't like, and not just a slut. (similar to how "kurwa" long forgot it's escort meaning)

fun fact: incel is gender neutral term, there is no indication of gender in "involuntary celibate"

on another hand, is it right to call 7-12 year olds incels? like, are kids really involuntary in that celibate?
