Last time someone mentioned these on Lemmy I got one.

It “crashed” according to Synology in about a week. Woke me up in the middle of the night with the Synology beeping.

I don’t think the “small dick” part needs to be thrown in. Seems counter productive.

He goes on to say he doesn’t vote. So he can complain.

What’s a non-key battleground state?

Linux users are starting to sound like a bunch of entitled dicks. /s

They’re rioting at a college level!

It’s a good segment.

“Ok fine, but I challenge you, beyond that.”

I mean, that would be fine, right?

I see.

“Incel” and the archetype seem to be newer. And the phenomenon much larger in recent times. What was it labeled in the time before that? My gut instinct says it’s indistinct like many things were. Similar to having names for mental disorders now that we didn’t have back then. So there would have been lots of various labels for that type of guy. Never really coalescing until “incel” was popularized.

You take a broader and broader view of the group as our conversation goes on. I’ve been looking at the more recent phenomenon. And I’ve been focused on a group just of men/boys who are at a point in their lives before they are snatched by the incel ideology.

It’s a dreadful situation.

Well, we both had different groups in mind with the label then.

I really am talking about the subset that were taken down the pipeline and who were not shit heads before that.

It’s definitely true that there is a whole group of weak shit heads who decide on this world view with little outside influence. The hopeful side of me wants to perceive this group as smaller than the group that was truly taken advantage of.

Shitty behavior is shitty behavior. Don’t get me wrong, I hate this gamergate incel shit.

Edit: I realize I should clarify more? Maybe? My perception of gamergate was that a bunch of people were swept up by it and “activated” so to speak. Maybe that’s naïve. People with immature world views.

Ok, fair enough. I’m conceptualizing these people as they were before they are taken advantage of.

The internet was a mistake.

All roads lead back to gamergate. It’s really fucked up.

Also, phrasing it as “weak men” makes you sound like you’re a bit on their side. You’re using their qualitative language. “Lonely men” might work better.

Hypernormalisation

His early videos, clips I’ve seen in videos about him, show he’s a weird sociopath.

“Mic the loser” they call him.

Ubisoft’s logo is the top view of a poop emoji.

This is really different though. In so many ways.

Looking up to rock stars was different from parasocial relationships with people you watch hundreds and hundreds of hours of.

The volume of content dictates so many differences between rock stars and influencers just on its own.

“Help, help! Break the f—king window,” he yells as Good Samaritans rushed over. One of the witnesses helped carry Doherty out of wreck while the 20-year-old continued to film himself.

I’d like to think that if was helping, I would have the presence of mind to realize he was filming himself. I would have taken a moment to grab his fucking phone and fling it as far away into oncoming traffic as possible.
