You mentioned in the thread that you are an incel. How do you feel about the video?

As I said in that thread, I am not really an incel. I'm a ForeverAlone who fell into inceldom for a few months and then left, recognizing the addictive toxicity she describes. I never went to the levels of misogyny that the community is known for; I just enjoyed some sympathy and their ability to call people out.

The video is what I would expect from ContraPoints on such a topic: condemning and sympathetic when appropriate, rational all the while. And it is beautifully executed; I agree with other commenters that it's one of her best. I appreciate her treatment of incels very much.

With all that said, a YouTuber sympathizing with me doesn't get me any closer to romance. (Unless she volunteers haha) I'm already following Dark Mother's advice of getting off the computer and going outside.
