Well, let's review.

I said Incels are basement trolls. First off, Incels are a small subset of a much larger population collectively known as 'men'. Kind of like how serial killers are a small subset of a larger population, professional athletes who use steroids are a smaller subset of small subset of a larger population, and the cranially depiliated are a small subset of a larger population.

Yet, if I referred to serial killers, 'Roid jocks, or the bald I highly doubt you would not know exactly what I was speaking of without the need to fall into performative histrionics, screeching out "#NotAllMen". Because......duh.

So come now, no need to pretend to be so obtuse to performatively protect the feefees of those who weren't even slighted to begin with.

We're talking about basement trolls. 'Basement trolls' has a specific meaning. You know that.

You know that. Come on.

Secondly, I agree with you that basement trolls are very easy to influence. If they weren't, they wouldn't be basement trolls because they would have enough lived experience with reality outside their basement and the internet to not be so easily duped by (predominantly) other men who are grifting off them and their pain and loneliness.

Where I disagree with you is that you or I or women in general CAN be the ones to influence them. They hate us. Again, if they didn't, they wouldn't be basement trolls. That's what they traded for a false sense of belonging.

Hate. Directed at women.

If you want to put yourself in harm's way to try to reach these wayward souls, you go right ahead. It's a free country (the internet), more or less. No one is stopping you. Please yourself. Maybe you'll get lucky and not get set on fire.

But that job should not be dumped by force or coercion on women at large, nor should any woman who refuses be shamed and called misandrists for refusing and exercising some common fucking sense.

Any more than any man who prudently elects not to walk unarmed into a hungry lion's den. Because we all know how that's likely to turn out too. Not well.
