R/inceltears causes more harm than good

Don't get me wrong, I love shitting on Incels and I ain't unsubbing from Incel tears anytime soon but whats the point of sharing shitty Incel opionions to a greater audience. Incel subs are a relatively tiny community so why give them an even bigger platform? I really hate the fact that the people that share Incel posts think they're doing some sort of service by sharing such vile content (after I assume they spent a good amount of time searching through braincels and incel forums for some garbage that will give them some sweet reddit karma). Shaming incels is low hanging fruit, no one in their right mind would agree with what incels say so why can't we be the bigger people and ignore their bullshit

There are many users on IT who spend hours browsing incel subs and posting 20+ posts a day about it. That's sad tbh.

They are just insecure, bringing others down makes them feel better about themselves. They are sick.

Most who sub to r/inceltears don't understand what a troll is. I'm willing to bet a majority of the screenshots they share on that sub is bait.

Before it was quarantined r/braincels was mostly trolls. It still is. I feel it's safe to say the sub was 60% trolls, 30% "normies" either trolling themselves, debating, or genuinely trying to help and 10% actual "incels" who unironically use the label and truly spread the "incel ideology."

Inceltears and the incels themselves make Male issues out to be a joke. It's contributing to people calling other people incels just for having an "edgy" opinion on women. "Found the incel lul." It also in my opinion stifles anyone who is an "actual incel" trying to break out of inceldom. The sub elevates incels as victims and gives them a boogeyman to fight against. The disallowing of devils advocacy on the sub also does more harm than good, as it becomes known as another cirlejerky echo chamber where dissenting opinions are not allowed.

Fuck both r/braincels and r/inceltears

I was curious as to whether or not they were pro-censorship. I found these three posts that very much are:

[[Petition] Reddit: Ban r/Braincels](https://www.reddit.com/r/IncelTears/comments/8yjeh3/petition_reddit_ban_rbraincels/)

r/MaleForeverAlone is finally banned!

r/incels is now banned

It really kinda bugs me that some people get their rocks off by silencing others.

Why was r/maleforeveralone banned?

Regarding r/MaleForeverAlone, Reddit reports:

This subreddit was banned due to a violation of our content policy, specifically, specifically, our sitewide rules regarding violent content.

The typo is Reddit's mistake, not mine.

In these cases they never cite specific examples of bannable behavior. The post I mentioned on r/IncelTears (r/MaleForeverAlone is finally banned!) has some anecdotes about it.

I’ve literally never fucking heard of an Incel before the subs that hate them became super popular. Now no matter what anyone says on r/teenagers about not having a girlfriend is screamed at and called an incel. You guys need to chill the f out. Incels and those who call everyone incels at the drop of a hat cause harm and no good.

Used to be on incel tears, then saw their arguments and now I'm an incel, damn!

I mean, mocking stupid people will always be popular. r/inceltears is no different than mocking antivaxxers or climate change deniers or transphobes.

I think a good reason to share the human dumpster fires we call uncles is so that more people are aware of their presence and the potential danger one might cause if he tries to “ascend” and shoots up a school. It’s like pointing out a pedophile on Twitter or Tumblr, you’re notifying the public.

Plus it’s funny how pathetic they are

Why would you want more people to be aware of their presence? The more people aware of it means more people might become one of them.

and the potential danger one might cause if he tries to “ascend” and shoots up a school.

If anything subs like r/inceltears is more likely to cause an incel to shoot up a school since its literally a sub dedicated to mocking "people like them." It elevates the incels as victims and gives them an "enemy" they can fight against. A rallying cry.

It’s like pointing out a pedophile on Twitter or Tumblr, you’re notifying the public.

How about we instead help them with their mental issues so we can possibly prevent them from acting on their feelings so they don't hurt a child? Letting them languish in obscurity will only allow those feelings to further take hold of their minds.

Plus it’s funny how pathetic they are
