“Twitch has changed it's terms to no longer let people use "incel" as an insult.”
Sounds about as useful as not using ‘cis.’
I mean, it’s a descriptive term. If i use it, how the fuck would anyone know if i meant it as an insult?
“It's ridiculous Big Tech censorship, of course. But there was always something interesting about people who insulted people by calling them an "incel".”
Uh huh…
“"Incel" as an insult basically means "you should go rape instead".”
No, it really does not. But that’s the sort of illogical thinking that would make me call someone an incel. An entitled misogynist who thinks that his .000 batting average with uncoerced women justifies taking felony action and coercing women.
“The term "incel" of course means "involuntary celibate". The person isn't having sex not through a personal choice, but because he (and let's be honest, it's almost always a he) can't find a willing (female) partner.”
Yes, that’s why it was coined. but today, men who choose the title, and hang out at incel sites, are violently bitter about their status, and they blame all women, their parents, and the Chads.
“So then somebody on the internet calling an incel an incel as an insult”
I notice you called all the incels ‘incel.’ You didn’t mean it as an insult, but these men are very touchy. What if one of them chooses to take your post as an insult?
“(say that three times fast)”
That. That. That.
“ is essentially telling him that he should stop being an incel. He would do this by, presumably, having sex with a woman.”
Nope. But that’s how the incel logic works, he knows he can’t get a silver bullet to get sex. There’s no magic feminist t-shirt to wear, no date can be choreographed to promise sex, no car that will force women to spread them… So, he easily concludes that rape is an option.
“However "having sex with a woman" is what the incel has been trying to do.”
Yes, but by doing what HE thinks women want from a man. Then gets angry when they don’t want it, or at least not from him.
“So the command "go have sex" is essentially "go rape a chick".”
Taking insult from being termed an incel is not getting a command. It’s rationalizing a fantasy.
“Like all Big Tech censors, Twitch shouldn't be in the business of restricting any words: from "incel" to "nigger" everything should be permitted,”
Why? Free Speech refers to the government’s actions. Any private business can choose who they let use their platform. If I had a business and the local KKK wanted to put a recruiting sign in my window, it’s actually MY free speech right to say ‘no.’
“but it's also one that the pansy leftists who use the term probably should have shied away from in the first place.”
Maybe if incels didn’t wear it as a badge of honor.
