I like to read books a lot. Specifically I like to read real paper books; i never gave ebooks a try although i probably will after what happened today.
We have this big nationwide chain of book stores in America called Barnes and Noble. I enjoy browsing through their selection and picking something out to read. Today I went there to browse through their Sci-Fi novels and comics.
Like many other book stores, Barnes and Noble has these little cards hanging from the shelves where the store's employees leave hand-written recomendations, along with a brief explanation of what they like about the book. I've never actually cared much for their opinions but I guess it adds a cute, friendly, "personal" touch to things.
Anyways, I go to the japanese manga section and there I see one such card on the shelf between the Inyuasha and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure series, except this one isn't there to recommend a book. Instead it simply reads "Incels ruin everything" in large handwriting. It's on the shelf that supports the Inuyasha books but its hanging down in front of the Jojo books so I'm not sure which series its meant to apply to but I don't really care because either way I'm not shopping there anymore. I also don't know if this was meant to be an insult towards jojo fans, inuyasha fans, incels, or all three groups.
As far as insults go it's not that big of a deal, I had plenty of worse things said directly to my face when I was in school. And I'm not really surprised to learn that somebody who works at a book store hates incels either, since pretty much everybody hates us. But I'm not going to keep shopping at a store that hangs up signs about how much they hate me. So I ended up leaving without purchasing anything, and tomorrow morning I'm going to call their customer service line and cancel my premium membership (which is a 10% discount I pay $25/year for). I'm definitely not coming back to any of these stores.
I don't see any point in complaining to them, it's not going to get anything accomplished except potentially outing me as a virgin. And I know that nobody cares if I'm insulted or not; if anything they'd probably give whoever made that sign an employee-of-the-month award for pissing me off. I just refuse to shop at a place which openly hates me like that because despite all my many failures, at least I'm not a fucking cuck.
Anyways, we have a few used book stores in my town and there's always the public library too so I can easily take my business elsewhere. Although now that I think of it I should probably just stop paying for books altogether and download them from z-library or libgen.
Also imagine the fucking riot that would happen if instead of hanging an "incels ruin everything" card in the manga section, an employee hanged a "sluts ruin everything" card in the romance section.
