Every time I talk to someone from this community about the actual significance of inceldom to them personally, they start rapid fire switching between “I only care about sex nothing else it’s a biological urge” to “I want to be loved I feel so lonely” to “Everyone else is doing it and I feel left out” and it suggests to me that most of them have never actually asked themselves this question or thought about it before and just throw out these generic soundbites as if they’re all interchangeable
This is important because some of these explanations actually suggest that inceldom is a cultural meme that people wouldn’t care about in isolation
There’s no doubt that our modern culture is incredibly sex-centric, sex is featured prominently in everything and is, in most respects, considered the primary measure of male social status and affluence. That doesn’t make it objective reality or anything of the sort, though
Honestly if your whole internalized worldview about how you’re a loser etc is entirely based on something that isn’t real and only exists in the subjective perceptions of normies who you don’t even like or respect (in theory, at least) then I’m inclined to think you’re kind of retarded
It’s like third worlders seething about how they don’t have sports cars, it’s literally something that people made up and arbitrarily assigned value to despite it having hardly any intrinsic significance
To be clear, incelibacy can still have a legitimate negative impact on your life even if the significance of it is mostly intangible and cultural. If everyone in the world but you believes in something, even something totally unreasonable, it’s still going to affect you externally. The main takeaway is just that they aren’t God and there’s no justifiable reason to internalize those cultural superstitions and make yourself suffer unnecessarily because of it. This thread isn’t an assertion that “sex isn’t important”, it’s a critique of the sex-centric worldview.
Final note so that this isn’t left unaddressed; if I were to accept at face value that you don’t care about cultural notions or other people’s perceptions at all, and you *only* care about the intrinsic qualities of sex, and those are genuinely your central reason for being depressed and seeing yourself as a loser, then I do sincerely believe you are a dysfunctional subhuman. This would obviously make no fucking sense if you substituted sex with any other tangible asset. I genuinely can’t believe that anyone would see the physical act of sex as integral to their self image and identity if it were removed from all social connotations; unless they were a complete fucking neurotic basketcase
