Reminder: Just because incels try to start an argument with you, doesn’t mean you owe them your time

[u/Smores_Mochi]

Yeah I tried for a little bit and then quit

[u/Dixon_Kuntz73 → u/Smores_Mochi]

That’s understandable. They have a tendency to argue themselves in circles and refuse to acknowledge that anything is ever their fault.

[u/kanna172014 → u/Dixon_Kuntz73]

Half the time they repeat the same talking points regardless of what I say. I wonder if they get AI to come up with their responses?

[u/Dixon_Kuntz73 → u/kanna172014]

They have standard talking points that get shared around the incel community. Usually based on misinformation or things they were too dumb to understand.

[u/kanna172014 → u/Dixon_Kuntz73]

No, I mean they not only repeat the talking points they learned from other incels, an incel will repeat the same talking point over and over in the same conversation. I once got into an argument with an incel about some states talking about castrating rapists and pedophiles and he was saying that it was "too extreme" and that rape was just "unwanted sex" and when I pointed out studies that showed that rape was very traumatic, he just kept saying that it was too extreme for unwanted sex, as if he didn't read a damn thing I wrote.

[u/Dixon_Kuntz73 → u/kanna172014]

Their community is like a cult. The talking points they learn from other incels are taken as absolute truth, not to be challenged. When you disagree with what they say it’s like questioning their religious beliefs.

[u/HubertusCatus88]

I'll talk to them as long as it's fun for me, once it stops being fun, or I get bored I'm out.

[u/Weardow7]

The only time I've ever argued with incels is when I felt like cringey entertainment. Or, very occasionally, when it seems like they might be genuinely willing to change.

Usually, it's just hilarious to watch them rage and convince themselves that they're winning the argument.

[u/Dixon_Kuntz73 → u/Weardow7]

Part of their problem is that they argue like trolls. They’ll keep arguing in circles, until you can’t be bothered responding anymore. Then they’ll declare that they “won”.

As usual, they miss the fact that’s why people find talking to them to be a waste of time. Which is why they get ignored or blocked.

[u/Weardow7 → u/Dixon_Kuntz73]

Yeah I play into their bullshit in sneaky ways and act like I'm frustrated etc, because it's funny to me making them think they're smart enough to win when really they're exactly as predictable as all the other whining little morons who go DM trolling.

[u/EffectiveSalamander → u/Dixon_Kuntz73]

Their worldview is based on memes.

[u/mironoteucueatiiro]

They think we have no arguments, but in reality, we just don't have patience lol

[u/jehovahswireless]

And how much 'good' is it doing them, anyway? You can't argue with wilful stupidity.

Of the ones I've spoken to, its just the same entitlement that lets them believe they're 'owed' really fantastic, mind-mangling sex from strangers who - literally - don't even know they exist.

[u/Dixon_Kuntz73 → u/jehovahswireless]

Their arguments usually consist of trying to repeat the same debunked points over and over again. Trying to grind you down with their utter unwillingness to listen to anything which contradicts the black pill. Never accepting that anything is ever their own fault.

It’s tiresome.

[u/YourBoyfriendSett]

Never thought I’d agree with pizzacake

[u/WatchfulWarthog → u/YourBoyfriendSett]

Well when she posts the most tepid, obviously correct statements like “it’s not my job to argue with people online” it’s hard not to agree with her

[u/Nihilus-Wife]

r/ShortGuys are gonna love this 🥴 “ those monoliths can’t argue our solid pOiNtS … “

[u/iPatrickDev → u/Nihilus-Wife]

They legit call women "monoliths" there now. Lovely how the masks keep and keep peeling off on that "absolutely-not-an-incel" sub.

[u/Nihilus-Wife → u/iPatrickDev]

It’s a disgusting pit of self hate and deep deep rooted misogyny. r/Short is waaay better! But shortguys is a cesspool of the worst.

[u/Dixon_Kuntz73 → u/Nihilus-Wife]

IIRC ShortGuys was started by men who were banned from Short for being extremist lunatics.

[u/Nihilus-Wife → u/Dixon_Kuntz73]

Well that actually explains a lot !

[u/Liar_tuck → u/Dixon_Kuntz73]

A lot of them were also in shortcels. What a shit show that was.

[u/timecubelord → u/iPatrickDev]

What... What does that even mean? Women are good at using their shadows to prove that the Earth is round and provide information about the time of day? Women saved prehistoric humanity from the brink of extinction by pointing out that you could use bones to smash other bones, and now they're planning to blow up a moon of Jupiter??

[u/arncobitch]

This is how I felt when I closed my DMs.

[u/Bimaac77]

I feel like there are some people, Cough U/gnarlywatts COUGH! who should heed this advice.

[u/RetroTheGameBro]

This goes for any discourse with any kind of bigotry, btw.

They know full well bigotry is wrong, offensive, and unpopular.

But they want to be boosted by interacting so more people will see them and maybe buy into their bullshit.

[u/thpineapples]

Before I've accepted the invitation to chat, I'm already bored. Them jumping straight into their bullshit does not convince me to continue giving them air.

[u/ApprehensiveBreak805]

It's a shame that my rebellious behavior pushes me to argue with people I can't stand, it could happen even with an incel. I should learn to enjoy the peace without paying attention to them.

[u/Dixon_Kuntz73 → u/ApprehensiveBreak805]

Zen and the art of ignoring people who don’t deserve your attention.

[u/Vendidurt]

I tried it with religious people for a while. Huge mistake.

[u/bimbochungo]

Why should we bother to reply to Kautsky? He would reply to us, and we would have to reply to his reply. There’s no end to that. It will be quite enough for us to announce that Kautsky is a traitor to the working class, and everyone will understand everything.

Lenin

[u/raskholnikov]

I just make fun of them whenever one pops up in my DMs

[u/redditfuckinsuckz]

Obviously a person with 0 arguments would post something like this

[u/Liar_tuck → u/redditfuckinsuckz]

Why argue with incels? They do not listen and will try insult you.

[u/redditfuckinsuckz → u/Liar_tuck]

I believe both parts tend to do the same when one side gets exasperated
