Moreover, there are those who are undecided about their affiliation with Incel communities, as well as individuals who engage in trolling behavior.Dora Simunovic | PhD Evolutionary Psychology · 3y | quora.com
----You sleep too much or too little. You masturbate too often. You play computer games and don’t open the curtains. You have no money and you are often profoundly lonely and frequently bored. From this unedifying starting point, can you, let’s say, weightlift your way out of misery? Can you trick yourself into being sociable? Can you ultimately get beyond your fantasy that a woman will save you (she won’t) and learn to live with everyday misery?Nina Power. 13 June 2020. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-art-of-the-incel
----"Hero. Villain. Incel. Warrior. Leader. Beach. Ken is not the star of “Barbie,” but he is its tragic, plastic heart. [...] And it was a fitting coincidence that he strutted across movie screens just as the tech titans Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg were threatening to fight each other. “We live in the thrall of impetuous boy-kings,” Garber writes. “No fictional figure has captured the absurdity of that situation, and the tragedy of it, better than a doll who looks like a man but inflicts himself on the world with a boy’s impish glee. Ken demands attention. He throws tantrums. He sows chaos. He threatens the whole order of things. He is the plastic core of Barbie’s world—and a bleached-blond satire of ours.”⁠
