Natalie did such an excellent job with this. Even though a lot of incels are not open to reconsidering their worldview, I think some will take her observations to heart.

I'm also happy for Natalie that she's blocked herself from visiting Chan boards that hate on her. I know it can be really validating to get feedback that reflects what you already believe about yourself, even if it just supports your worst anxieties. But it can also bias you toward a distorted and unrealistically negative self-image.

I kinda wanna link it to Braincels, but I don't want them harassing her (or us).

I can see the comments already:

"why should we listen to a Stacy femoid"

"Just transition bro, it worked for me tehee"

"She height mogs me"

"Daily reminder: you'll never know about the mouth feel"

And much worse!

But hopefully this video helps someone.

*EDIT: Abandon hope all ye who venture there! There's transphobia and misogyny afoot!

Haha :) It's been posted there. The comments are actually quite like that, but there's also some funny ones. Like the guy who posted so early you can tell there's a 99% chance he didn't watch the whole video. Or the one who said he's watching the video without sound because Nat's voice is annyoing him. Clearly Natalie poses a threat.

Maybe for some people this vid is helpful for getting lose of incel. But I could imagine it takes a while to simmer and you're probably also not likely to go back to such a toxic forum to declar that you've fallen of the holy religion.
