This article sheds light on variations of self-stigmatising and, at the same time, self-constitutive acts in male subcultures on the Internet. These acts share an uneasy proximity to dirt and faeces. The author’s analysis moves systematically from the nerd and geek milieus of the early 2000s, via the so-called »pickup artists« and men’s rights groups to the Incels, the most extreme variation of these subcultures. »Incel« is an acronym for »involuntary celibate«. Donald Meltzer’s study of the anal-masturbatory character (1966) serves the analysis as a heuristic device. Meltzer sketches the image of a character, who – due to outside pressures – becomes stuck at the anal level of sexual development and takes on a masturbatory pseudo-maturity instead of a fully developed, phallic one. With the help of Meltzer’s study one can work out the central relevance of anal sexuality for the masculinities that differentiate themselves online as well as their conception of woman as the enemy image. Whereas one can see how nerd cultures have been playing with the stigma of anal sexuality in ironic ways, this playfulness becomes lost in the Incel and men’s rights groups where it is replaced by an (auto)aggressive mode of identification with anal-masturbatory characteristics."
Remember, those are the same types of (((people))) that call the blackpill a pseudoscience!!!

"Abstract
It’s over/It never began. Aggressive acts of self-stigmatization and foreign stigmatization in male Internet subcultures. –This article sheds light on variations of self-stigmatising and, at the same time, self-constitutive acts in male subcultures on the Internet. These acts share an uneasy proximity to dirt and faeces. The author’s analysis moves systematically from the nerd and geek milieus of the early 2000s, via the so-called »pickup artists« and men’s rights groups to the Incels, the most extreme variation of these subcultures. »Incel« is an acronym for »involuntary celibate«. Donald Meltzer’s study of the anal-masturbatory character (1966) serves the analysis as a heuristic device. Meltzer sketches the image of a character, who – due to outside pressures – becomes stuck at the anal level of sexual development and takes on a masturbatory pseudo-maturity instead of a fully developed, phallic one. With the help of Meltzer’s study one can work out the central relevance of anal sexuality for the masculinities that differentiate themselves online as well as their conception of woman as the enemy image. Whereas one can see how nerd cultures have been playing with the stigma of anal sexuality in ironic ways, this playfulness becomes lost in the Incel and men’s rights groups where it is replaced by an (auto)aggressive mode of identification with anal-masturbatory characteristics."
