Incels.

I think its a cesspool, it and 4chan and 8chan too.

I know that Ceecee has been a cheerleader for Reddit in the past, I just think its terrible, good luck to anyone who has a different experience of the same. I also think its bulletin board style threads and posting are antiquated in the extreme too.

The same can be said for Facebook, Pintrest, Instagram.....it all depends how how you use it. I don't know that any domestic terrorists have been radicalized on Pintrest, nor have their manifestos been published there like they have on 8chan or their shooing streamed live such as they have on Facebook.

But who could resist these subreddits!?!?

A subreddit for cute and cuddly pictures
Cats in pockets.

Maybe so.

There should be better. Instead of a "least worst" argument I mean.

The upvote/downvote system may seem a little Thunderdome-y and I could see in theory how some members might gang up on other members to ensure certain members' posts are always voted down or up, but there's really no comparison to 4chan and 8chan unless you're only looking at the contentious political subreddits. Otherwise, it's a great place to find video game playstyle advice, discussions about popular culture, book discussions, recipes, advice for people in low libido marriages, or whatever other topic you're interested in. Usually most sub-reddits are pretty heavily moderated so you're not going to see a lot of trolls survive long anyway, and if not moderated, trolls seem to get downvoted into oblivion more often than not. Reddit in 2019 is a completely different place than it was in the early days. To each their own though.

Incels should succumb to the sinful desire of non-marital sex.

Fixed that for you.

Sorry, just for educational purposes

American incels are analogous to Japanese otaku: mental illness masquerading behind obsessive fandom due partly to: delusions, lack of experience with and understanding of the opposite sex, little to no experience outside of auto-eroticism, lack of long-term, meaningful employment, fractured self-image and family relationships, and disturbed mental and emotional states from listed points - all reinforced, galvanized, and rhetorized by toxic online communities of people in similar circumstances. Unlike otaku however, incels are a fairly newer subculture (if it deserves that category) more prone to violence and sexual deviance than its Japanese cousin in, er, samurai swords. Both categories of primarily men in their formative years result from sexual repression in cultures of high social pressures and fixates on physical masculinity of peers and objectification of women and assumed entitlement born of that competition, which they are woefully unprepared for. Since these are outgrowths of primarily cultural and sexual politics of growing gender equality, the answer to socialize and treat people like this is accessible, affordable mental health treatment. While it's important to ostracize the behavior, far be it from me to suggest shutting down a site or two, these are struggling people that deserve individualized care and opportunity to learn accountability.

I feel like in a traditional climate this would be a phase, but in this age of encouraged self identification with various repressed and victimized outlier groups these lads are hopping on their adolescent virgin trains and riding them into the sunset.
