I'm calling you out on this one, Putinbot.
You paint everyone with the same brush when it comes to incels vs a virgin guy not moved by peer pressure.
If we're defining incel in the loosest terms as someone who wants a relationship but can't have it, then you can consider me one.
I am a virgin, and am very open about it when asked. I do not see any shame in telling people that I've never dated a girl at age 20. Hell, in high-school the female dean of students once roasted me in front of my mates (because I didn't go to senior prom): "Kurk is going to be the 40 year old virgin".
I'll admit it was slightly embarrassing coming from the dean, but for no longer than a minute.
Being a virgin doesn't bother me. Occasionally I'll wish that I had a confidante to talk to, but nothing more (except acquiring an apprentice).
My point of this thread is to highlight how the idea of a violent incel is unique solely to contemporary Western social values/culture, and that people like you actually make this problem worse by indirectly mocking all virgin men.
I will occasionally make misogynist statements, sometimes to troll, other times raising genuine concerns (like #metoo being weaponized), but never once have I blamed women for my problems.
There are plenty of actual misogynists who partake in MGTOW, many of them being divorced men (so not incels). True, I don't recall any having shot up women or minority groups in retaliation, but I'd consider them to be much more of a threat with their hateful views than a "moderate incel" (lol at using that term).
I really don't think the issue of violent incels (or mass shooters in general) exists in collectivist societies like Japan because acquiring relationships for personal gain (or simply personal wants in general) are not prioritized like they are here in the USA's individualist culture.
In collectivist societies, success is not defined by individual gain. Being a productive citizen and contributing to society is (at least in Japan) of utmost priority. Hence, marriage and getting "your d1ck wet" is not important in the grand scheme of things .
The idea of success in the individualist Western society seems to be dominated by shallow pursuits of monetary gain for the sake of competing amongst others. Similarly, ideal relationships are portrayed as those where the guy gets the trophy wife ASAP rather than meeting an ideal partner to match personality for life. Those who do not accomplish this are seen as losers, hence triggering the incels.
Again, not an issue in collectivist societies.
This guy, in my eyes, is far more of an asset, as an incel school administrator/superintendent, in society than some 30 year-old working menial jobs to get by, but gets mad pu$$y.
In Western cultures, the question asked by everyone is "What can society do for me?" whereas in Japan and other collectivist societies the question is "What can I do for society?"
That is the root problem of incels. Not a simple lack of sex.
So what are you doing to solve the problem?
Me, I talk to those to I see as being at risk for misogyny. Naturally, my engineering school has quite a few of high-functioning autists who can come off as angry. I speak to them about coursework and try to get on a good basis with them so 1.) They spare me in a school shooting, but 2.) to not leave them isolated and remain at risk.
Japanese people have access to the internet. Nearly half the population are incels, and have certainly been exposed to incel ideology, but don't adapt it as it doesn't fit in with their collectivist societal views.
This is a cultural problem plain and simple.
