A couple of weeks ago I joined an incel forum and a discord chat because I was really depressed and down on my luck. I just moved out of an apartment and I decided to work for 4 weeks straight at my job which I'm still doing. I was broke, unhappy I had not had a girlfriend since high school and I just turned 24. I kept feeling like I was failing my family and my life was going to be lonely and miserable, even though I was going to school paying for it out of my pocket, I have a friend I go to concerts with all the time and I go to church and do community service work on the side.
The Forum I joined was one of the most toxic places I've ever been too, I posted a few threads asking things like what people wanted to do with their lives when they got older and made more money? They gave me answers like they were either going to "Rope", Live at home and do nothing, or just didn't have any plan what so ever. And that's another thing I was being convinced to do. "Rope" is one of the worst things I've ever heard of in my life, making a meme a literal joke out of killing yourself. Some of them even encouraged me to do it myself and too be fair some suggested I don't at all. I was lucky though because I made a few friends with some of those who went inside those communities to help others and stop people from ruining their lives with this "Blackpill" bullshit.
The scary thing is for a little while over a week I thought to myself in my tired exhaustion of working non stop and self doubt, I actually did make plans to end my life when I turn 25. But luckily for me I found a good friend of mine and he knows who he is helped me pull my head out of my ass that my life is not over and it isn't going to shit, quite opposite from the fact. The funniest thing is I actually had a date this Monday and had a pretty decent time with it. Which was to me the most hilarious thing about all of this. I was kicked out of their little forum and their discord server for not just "bragging" about my date, but because I myself tried to give these people life advice. To get a full time job, to get some form of education, and get off your damn computer! That was my experience with these people.
Encouraging young boys as young as 14 to end their lives because they had autism/aspergers (Some of whom I've heard rumors have actually killed themselves), Talking about how much they idolize serial killers, mass shooters, and Elliot Rodger, and how much they hate women. These people take no personal responsibility, they have no intention of being good people, and zero intention to do anything except telling people to end their lives.
I have a couple of screen shots if you want to see its really sad tbh. And please, if you are an "Incel" or whatever, and you are active on the forums, stop logging onto those websites. Please! Leave those websites, you are going to ruin your life or your families life if you do what those people say to do. You don't have to be a model to get a girlfriend or in most cases just a friend of your own.
