99% of the time when either of these memes are used, they have nothing to do with the incel subculture, right?
I've seen this shit dressed up for like fucking arguments about what engine is best, you know?
But these are also, those of you seeing these online or recognizing them from what I'm saying, these are some of the most widely spread meme formats today.
And they come out of the incel community.
That's very interesting.
The incel community also invents using the term cell at the end of a word to add a negative context to
to another word.
This starts with terms to help members of the community differentiate various types of celibates, like vole cells, voluntary celibates, or fake cells, which are people who pretend to be incels but really have had sex at some point.
And then, of course, there are true cells, which are obviously the real incels, you know, who actually have no hope.
This turns into a broader trend, too.
Just the other day, I was talking about prepping with someone, and they mentioned that gasoline only lasts six months.
And I was like, well, yeah, if you're a gas cell, of course you're going to have to deal with gas expiring.
Diesel maxers stay winning, right?
Yeah.
You know, bits like that are all over the fucking place now.
And again, generally completely detached from any of their original usage.
The term cucked also owes a great deal of its modern use to incels.
Although there's a lot of cross pollination with the alt right there.
I don't know that I'd say that's predominantly comes in as an incel term.
Cause I do feel like a lot of it comes out of like the alt right too, but I don't know.
