Not big on the forced gmail or apple sign on. Too easy to get yourself blackmailed, assuming you're anyone of importance.
Somehow I doubt that’s a relevant concern

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

They're eager for desperate prostitutes.

Hot damn, do I not miss that site at all.
it's pretty easy to get actual dates with real life people if you don't vastly overvalue your attractiveness, but most incels think they are Kelce and deserve a Swift.
tbh I suspect many incels are actually just poorly socialized and don't really talk to people irl
Hard to get dates when the only time you see other people is at work and the grocery store.

My (anecdotal non-professional-psychologist) theory is that a lot of male incels didn't have much socialization with girls as children. I keep thinking back to my own childhood. Had a best friend in the same social circles, same classes in school, same hobbies and interests, same geographical area, parents in the same socioeconomic group, went to the same church, etc etc etc. But he went the incel route, and I didn't. The biggest difference between us is that he was an only child with a handful of cousins he rarely saw. I have a younger sister and a lot of female cousins. Between them and their friends, I had plenty of age-appropriate socialization with girls. I remember a lot of occasions when I had tell my friend when he was acting weird around girls.
It really isn't.

but most incels think they are Kelce
I hate incels, but this is just false. The vast majority of white incels clearly either are accutely aware of being unattractive or are actually dysmorphic or have a similar disorder that warps their self-perception negatively. With non-Latino Incels of Color*, it can get a lot harder to parse their self-image because they are likely to (as a matter of incel "culture") attribute their failings in large part to a racial bias against them. In the same way that a short white incel might identify chiefly as someone fucked over by their height, an Indian or East Asian incel is likely to identify chiefly as someone fucked over by their being Indian or East Asian.
*I have never seen this phrase used, but I would be rightly banned for using the nomenclature that incels usually use for this sort of thing
