I want to explain a phenomenon I personally noticed here, and it is something @SergeantDick has acknowledged on his infamous thread:
incels.is
When I used a feminine anime avatar, without changing my opinions or how often I posted, the way people responded to me clearly changed. Replies became softer, more patient, more indulgent, and I'm not joking at all, flirt-adjacent. I tested this more than once, and I've seen it occur when reading threads or comments on profiles. The only things I changed were the avatar and writing in calm full sentences. With a neutral or male avatar, the exact same posts did not get treated that way.
I NEED TO BE CLEAR. No one is confused about whether it’s a real woman. That’s not the point. I'm not accusing anybody specifically of homosexuality. Nor am I saying this happens every time someone uses any fictional foid avatar. Functionally, femininity is still being imported into the space, and interaction patterns adjust around it regardless.
Real-life female PFPS were banned after a vote basically under the reasoning of “no foid worship.” The idea was that bringing female imagery into a male-only space changes behaviour and interaction. That logic makes sense. But what I observed shows that often, anime foid avatars often produce the same effect in practice. Again, nobody thinks it is an actual woman, but femininity is still being projected onto the user and the interaction changes because of it.
The usual response to incels who want 2d foid avatars to go is “let the guys cope” since it's just eye candy, but that does not change the phenomenon itself. If female imagery alters behaviour, then it does not suddenly stop doing so because it is animated. On principle, the rule should be consistent. Either both real and fictional foid avatars should be banned, or the distinction should be dropped entirely and any female avatar should be allowed.
Anime is generally for beta / weakling men
I noticed a lot of weak men who lack any kind of "chad-aura" are generally always in some way drawn to anime. Not to mention a lot of you incels on here have anime pfps. Anime is corny, often over-sexualizes and for some reason makes men drawn to acting "cute" and feminine. (Perhaps the product...
