Except it makes the link with loneliness, which has nothing to do with incels. By doing so, this kind of post litteraly says that alllonely men are like the worst incels.
It is insulting. And it is directly feeding the narrative of the fascists that says that feminists are mere anti-men instead of pro-equality.
This même is a blend of arrogance, ignorance, disdain and malice. Even the fascist are rarely doing so bad.
It is a progression meme though. Your example would be Lonely=incel
And the progression means thatl only incels come to this conclusion. Which is where it is insulting to many men who aren't incels.
I don't see it as a binary choice. Maybe some people can't read the meme format. Anyone with critical thinking can realize this is not a Venn diagram
If you had any education in logic, A => B => C means something.
When you do this logical development, it means C is the consequence of A.
The même format also implies that C is a stupid assertion, because it's associated with the clown figure. It says that the existence of a loneliness epidemic is a stupid proposition.
This is denying reality. And this is mocking the people who suffer from loneliness.
The biggest problem is not even the link between incels and loneliness epidemic. It is the denial of the problem. This is litteraly akin to conspiracy theories.
Its a top down progression logic of conditional statements if this then this, it doesn't work backwards. As I mentioned elsewhere it is not a Venn diagram meme where bottom statement is the only way you could be lonely.
Yes, by being a progression meme it implies that the final statement "there is a male loneliness epidemic" is something only arrived at by incels
Its a logic flow diagram, the first three are flawed logic , so the fourth is the wrong as the reasoning. But maybe I have been doing too many conditional and boolean statements in my software
lol Jesus Christ cry harder
