Your recognition of incels empowers them which warrants suspicion.

Sure bud. Recognizing problems is bad, and ignoring them is how we fix them. Huge brain take. If you really need find a group to feel superior to, you do you, but I suggest therapy and a better world view as a healthy alternative. You seem more eager to let the problem perpetuate, which warrants ACTUAL suspicion.

it’s on them to fix themselves. not society. I’m alone, divorced, but I still don’t blame women or society. that’s the incel’s problem: lack of personal accountability, entitlement to a woman, society blaming.

it takes two to make a relationship, and I’m tired of my fellow man being offended at having to work at having a relationship

You sound like the barely middle class referring to the homeless. "It's on them to fix themselves, not society. I smoked pot and drank in college, but I didn't fall into addiction and lose my job and my home. That's the homless' problem: lack of personal accountability and willpower to get clean and sober and maintain a job."

Making substance abuse a stigma instead of recognizing it as a physical and mental health condition hasn't helped the homeless population pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Recognizing incelism as needing mental health treatment is no different. If it's obviously a problem, it affects society, maybe we should look at it instead of turning out noses up and pretend not to see the problems.

Mental illness isn't your fault, but it is your responsibility.

I've got this everybody.

Ahem.

Clap

There you go. Your one, single congratulations.

Can you get out of the way now? Give psychologists the space to do their god damn job?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nobody is stopping them from seeing a psychologist except the psychologists own extortionist pricing. Mental illness is not their fault, but it's the individual's responsibility.

If they can't afford it, then the state should help them.
Unless you prefer to let people fester and rot.

I never said I was against that
