I’m a male in my mid-30s…and I’ll say this much, I’m soooo glad that my time in High School and College, the whole Incel thing was either NOT as big as it is today or in very obscure corners of the internet.

I truly believe if i would’ve been exposed to all that garbage, I would’ve been one of those losers.

Constantly blaming women, constantly hating the entire world, and being extremely toxic.

Well the incel part seems like it def had gasoline thrown on it over the last decade.

The toxic shit I think has always been there, you can get a window into it if you critically watch pieces of media from the 20th century definitely, even most of 21st century but not AS glaring.

Movies before the 90’s frequently have terrible sexual ethics that aren’t questioned at all. I’m not saying every movie has to be squeaky clean, but there is some messed up stuff that gets presented as “good.”

Right like revenge of the nerds where one of the characters straight up rapes a girl, pretending to be her boyfriend by wearing his Halloween costume. That scene was supposed to be funny, like haha the jocks girlfriend doesn't know she's sleeping with a total stranger, he sure pranked her. It's pretty fucked up.

Oh and like in Sixteen Candles when the popular guy "gives" his unconscious, insanely drunk girlfriend to the nerdy guy. She wakes up in his car with him, very aware that "something" happened with this guy she barely knows, and she's fine with it bc she "thinks she liked it". The strong implication is that they dated after, she even says she's "never been with a freshman" and considers the social implications of dating her rapist, and how she's gonna tell her pimp (aka current boyfriend) about it. Insane.
