Incel is just a pejorative that makes them get even more blackpilled. Use "emotionally unstable" or even "constitutionally weak", because if they knew the real issue, they'd be more predisposed to actually fixing themselves so that they can also get laid.
Also, legalize sex work. Just get them laid. Watch the alt right and fascism crash harder than a drunk driver speeding at night.
Sex ain't gonna fix 'em.
Therapy will though, which is why framing and semantics are important.
Then again, I'm a humanist. I humanize.
but it will make them less celabete
But it won't make them better people.
I wouldn't use humanity as a measuring stick for goodness. Our greatest achievements are more proof to the contrary.
Sex workers can choose their clients, if they want to take a misogynists money, what the fuck business is it of yours?
Also, why do we assume that them having sex with a sex worker will magically fix the serious mental issues they're facing? Will they suddenly become likeable dudes that women want to be with after that sex worker experience? I'm pretty sure Elon has had sex with a few sex workers. Let's ask him...
Maybe sex workers should also keep a gun in a drawer, or better yet hire a bodyguard
A few dead abusive johns will go a long way to cleaning up the scene
Sex work should be subject to protections under the law, including the law, the courts and the healthcare system - rather than subject to persecution, ostracization and having to fend for themselves outside of the law. They'd rather want sex motels decked with panic buttons and security on guard.
Think before you assume you're actually concerned for someone's well being, and if you think continued illegality will somehow eradicate sex work - let me remind you that it hasn't worked thus far. Please reconsider your stance.
No, it was a side argument regarding mental health. Fixing mental health is an everybody issue, especially when people are products of their environment. Having a healthy sex life is part and parcel of improving mental health, on top of exercise, a good diet and actually handling or leaving toxic environments.
You're not able to see my main point because you want people to suffer, because you think they deserve to suffer, because you want to feel superior and calling me an asshole indirectly at the same time because you're too much of a pussy to tell me directly.
So the only asshole I see here is you.
Tt;dr
Seek therapy instead of trying to get it out of Lemmy comments.
'don't call me incel or I'll meme even harder'
XD
You joke, but this is what actually goes through their heads.
I'm pretty sure that's exactly what goes through their heads. Been making a damn near academic study of them since stormfront took over 4chan
They'll remind isolated with weakened impulse control because of ignoring their mental health - which is the problem I was eluding to.
But hey, your cathardic Schadenfreude is all that matters. I wonder what that says about you.
