I'm for it, with
@Emba 's caveat about bragging. I am but a lowly graycel, so bear that in mind, but the way that I see it, two questions need to be answered:
- The forum is dedicated for incel users. Does using an escort change whether one is, or is not an incel?
- The forum is meant to promote valuable discussion among incels, about inceldom. Do discussions about escorts constitute useful discussion about incels and inceldom?
In reading through the thread thus far, I see folks working at both of these angles. Here's my two cents. Just two cents cause I'm a graycel, the rest of y'all get a dollar.
For the first question, I don't think that using an escort changes one's status as an incel. I see the focus on sex as a proxy for love, so by my internal definition, "involuntarily unloved" would be more accurate. Part of the reason I see it this way is that - if sex is actually the most important thing - GO SEE AN ESCORT. Bam, done. Inceldom cured. We all know, deep down, that it isn't the same thing, though. True ascension, in my eyes, is when a foid actually
wants to have sex with you, because of her romantic desire. This creates the interesting conclusion that if someone claims to be an incel, but actually exists in a state where foids want to have sex with them because of romantic desire, then that person is not an incel, even if they are in fact a virgin. So, in short, I don't think that using an escort changes incel status, otherwise Fat Link could delete the forums and just post a link to craigslist and win the nobel peace prize for solving inceldom for once and for all.
The second question, I think, is the real stickler. Is it actually valuable discussion? I think
@Fat Link laid out a pretty strong case against it being useful discussion, but I'm not sure that's the only kind of discussion that the forums are here for. A core function, I think, is for incels to talk about their experiences among people who can relate, even if not by shared experience, but only by an understanding of the desire for that experience. In this sense, incel forums are pretty uniquely situated to host discussions about escortcels. There's fora out there about escort discussions specifically, but they don't come from the background and perspective that incel forums have. To othat end, I think it's a goood idea to keep hosting those discussions, but only if they take place in a way that fits with the culture of the board. So if someone is just on here to brag about some quality hole that they bought, well, fuck that guy, but if someone wants to come on here and talk about how fucking escorts destroyed their mental health, then bring it on, I say.
