      Because some dumbasses think that since hating women is bad it must mean hating men is good. It’s really weird.

        I’m lost on where y’all are getting this from, it’s obv this is a girlboss hierarchy of needs verging on femcel

        One of those needs is an unhinged relationship, which bucks the femcel label but still squarely falls into “spring breakers” territory

          Your statement implies that both “femcel” and “incel” (I guess we’re gendering everything now…) are a good thing to be embraced and encouraged. I and the vast majority of humans posit that this is fucked up, divisive, us-vs.-them, inflammatory, evil stupidity that can be entirely circumvented by taking care of yourself and your community and just talking to like one other fleshy meatbag IRL.

            Femcel is a parody of incel; while making light and accepting being feminine while not being “perfect and quiet and nice” in an often exaggerated manner to the point of the “forever alone, terminally online female” idea. See https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/femcelmemes - you’ll see “verging on feral” is a common trope - but being your messy self is a key thread between the me-mes.

            This isn’t some gendered divisive thing you are cooking up in your head; incel is gendered male by default. Just how it is. Femcel is a parody of it.

            And clearly, part of being your messy self is getting into a relationship and absolutely trashing the other person emotionally because you’re the hot mess express.

            Gotta get Peter griffin in here to explain the me-mes!

                Ay fuck your bad faith shit, this me-me is aligned towards feminine-presenting people (hence the call out for pockets) who want to date men. Sucks it ain’t you, but it’s roughly half the world, so it’s for a goodly amount of people to enjoy

                I’m guessing you don’t know what “spring breakers” meant, listen to the song by XCX to get a vibe for this if you actually want to try to have a laugh at this me-me

                  Ah, so it seems you agree with my assessment of your attitude that started this conversation in the first place. “some dumbasses think that since hating women is bad it must mean hating men is good.”

                  I watched the whole video and it just yells I read a 2010 Kotaku article about gamergate and a 7th grade English class. Why was this video relevant to this?

                  Liberation of whom through these memes? Femcels? The folks who are choosing to associate with incels? How are they being oppressed? Do they have to shower and stop living in their fantasies? Is that the oppression?

                  The person uptop made it seem to be a whole movement and inspiring. When it just sounds like it’s a bunch of keyboard NEETs who don’t talk to people. Wait yeah, it’s just incels.

                  Nevermind, move along.

    12 hours of screen time… but it’s all quantum physics and “learn Hittite in the original cuneiform”!
