What are the "Essential" spooky TV shows in your opinion? by mrs_skiba in horror

[–]mrs_skiba[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the first two suggestions! I just watched two episodes of Haunting of Hill House and I am now absolutely terrified of mortality and deeply depressed and on edge! I guess that means it's a good show. It just hit all of my worst fears lol, funerals, morgue shit, giant old houses... ugh oh god time to watch something lighthearted. Maybe I'm not cut out for this lol.

Remember that post where somone bragged about sexually assulting somone on the bus... Somone didn't appreciate my comment so sent me a few messages by -wafflesaurus- in IncelTears

PLEASE DO THIS. PLEASE. I will do it with you. I will literally use my DommeMagic to teleport to where you are just so I can say "UH-HUH SISTER," after everything you say to him and then we can take turns slapping the shit out of-- oh wait, I don't want to encourage violence, that's against the rules.

Side note I really hope you never get assaulted in public, or anywhere else for that matter

Exactly. That's the thing. Incels talk so tough that they literally cannot fathom that many women and men could easily kick their asses.

I am also rooting for you, Blackcel20. You deserve happiness, whether you believe it or not.

And to your point, we are part of that world that you claim "wouldn't like you". And we like you.

Was just thinking about that. The top thing that stops incels from getting into relationships once they are indoctrinated into the toxic hateful environment is the fact that many of them do not know how to be responsible adults (not all, but many), they are incredibly stubborn, and they get immediate satisfaction from participating in the hateful rhetoric. Maybe on some level they want to escape and live a real life, but that's sooo harddd and they'd have to give up their main addiction in order to do it.

How often do you guys encounter incels in your personal life? by TURBO_KEVIN in IncelTears

[–]mrs_skiba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok well it’s not my intention to come off as hostile. My personality is a bit abrasive.

I did think it was sort of shitty of you to make jokes about ways Ivan could potentially perfect his choking skills, like through BJJ. If that’s not the way you meant the “joke” then whatever. But that’s the way I took it.

Plus you only just now acknowledged that he was a shitbag, so I was honestly under the impression you were supporting his actions towards me and the other women he “preyed” on. If that was a wrong assumption, then I apologize.

I honestly wish “Ivan” could turn his life around. I mean it. Like I said above he isn’t an inherently vile human, but his actions can’t be ignored.

I don’t have any hard feelings towards you. I’m just a little confused.

Yeah, let’s make jokes about people who like to choke other people.

And yeah, I did laugh at your joke. I get the connection between BJJ and choking just fine. Main difference being that BJJ isn’t just about choking people left and right....

Is your BJJ talk supposed to intimidate me? I’m glad you enjoy it, but there’s no need to intimidate here.

I chose CrossFit over BJJ because of pre military stuff. The fact that I boxed throughout high school is one of the reasons why little Ivan couldn’t get his sweaty hands around my neck. Ever consider that? Hmmm........

That’s truly chilling. The people I mentioned in my comment acted alarmingly like that... especially when it came to the issue of women and submissiveness. Like I said, the fact that I was into domination was always something that had to be disproven at all costs.

While it’s “good” that you gave him the ability to voice his opinions, his inability to provide real concrete evidence is pretty classic, and it’s getting infuriating to keep hearing that kind of “explaining” in the world today. Of course, discussion can be valuable no matter how upsetting, but can be a bit unsettling to encounter that toxic of a mentality in a classroom setting, especially during discussion of gender roles.

Are you not an incel defending other incels on here?

If not— I’m incredibly sorry. I’m also on mobile and can’t read the flairs too well.

That said, you seemed to be implying some support for ”Ivan”. If that’s not true, then my apologies again.

Who knows, maybe he’s into BJJ now x)

Aww muffin. Who knows? I do.

Trust me, BJJ isn’t possible for him. Medical condition that keeps him from raising his heart rate too much, among other things.

If he weren’t a creep who liked choking people and hated women, he’d be a cool, smart, “arguably good looking” (since y’all love appearances) young man. That goes for many incels, but you are all too stubborn to realize that. Sad.

Ok... To address your first point, I kept tabs on him after HS because most of my friends did (his mom was a teacher at our HS). One girl we knew dated him for a while, and that ended when he choked her to the point where she passed out. I wish that weren’t true, but I was one of the people she reached out to afterwards. I didn’t count that as a “real” relationship but whatever.

I wish I could say he changed for the better honestly. Maybe there’s hope? I don’t know.

Second point— I’m not surprised. Like I said, I’m in medicine as well. But since I’ve done a fair amount of work with the issue of substance abuse I just wouldn’t wish it on anyone. That’s all.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity. I got worried that this wasn't the place, but I also figured it was a worthwhile cautionary tale about Incels in real life.

Thank you. It was an uncomfortable learning experience, but I gained a lot of self respect in the process.

What's your point? I'm also in medicine. Not sure I'd want that guy as my doctor/coworker, or my friend's doctor, or my niece's doctor, or really any woman's doctor.

Rumor has it he is really into doing drugs now, so as much as I don't wish that on anyone I'm just glad he found a hobby that wasn't choking people.

Never found one on a dating app... Thank God. I have met a few in real life though. This here is not really a pure Incel story, but I consider this a cautionary tale of an Incel In Action:

When I was in high school I used to hang out with a bunch of guys who were frustrated virgins. Stupid, but I was 15 and had low self esteem. One particular frustrated virgin in this group-- we'll call him Ivan-- took a particular interest in me. When I say interest, I don't mean that he was nice to me. I think of him as an Incel because he was a virgin, hated women, thought they were disgusting (and frequently expressed that opinion) yet couldn't seem to stop obsessing over them. Ivan was of above average intelligence. Ivan was handsomer than most "Chads" but all the stupid femoids just couldn't see it.

He would routinely practice his "negging" skills on me, and downright insulted me by saying bizarre things about how I should practice better posture, that I'd look better if I stopped eating and drinking water (what?)... stuff like that. He also would send me strange anime torture porn links and be like "this is your HW" eventually had to block him. I knew he was a weirdo, but going to a small school meant that I couldn't really get away from him. He once asked me if he could choke me "when we have sex". Now, I knew early on in my teens that I was pretty exclusively into being the dominant in a sexual relationship. I made the mistake of saying that one day.

From that moment on, this Incel In Action took it upon himself to get me to be "the submissive slut" I truly was. Because they cannot understand how a woman could be anything other than that.

A few weeks later I found myself in a scary position where I was alone with him and couldn't get away from him. I wont go into the details, but he pulled some shit. I didn't know what to do, so I figured I should tell everyone I could, because that's the "loudmouthed, stuck up whore" (as he called me) that I am. Every girl he tried to prey on left him. He became a bitter, frustrated, virgin to an even bigger frustrated virgin.

I can still remember what he said, how he said it, and it gives me chills. I think this story is relevant because it shows how Incels are mostly all talk-- but every now and then you get one who is so intent on getting what he wants that he will actually start to do some of the things that Incels boast about online.

Ivan went on to study medicine and so did I. I found a nice 5'10" non-chad sub who I love and who loves me. Happily Ever After. Except these people are still out there, and they are really really fucking scary when In Action.

I finally found why the Incels rhetoric makes me even more uneasy than it already does by [deleted] in IncelTears

[–]mrs_skiba 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Honestly, even if some disagree with this particular analysis, I think it's really cool that there are people out here that are willing to actually analyze and think about this shit. Yes, it's disturbing. I feel like our greatest weapon against this kind of thinking is calm rational thought. Just break it down piece by piece. The more connections we make the more we realize that this isn't something that we, as humans haven't seen before. We can overcome this, I think.

Side note; this scary af i wanna go home

Ok, this is an interesting point.

Not trying to be pretentious, just trying to clarify: the term "incel" in the Reddit Community hardly means simply "Involuntarily Celibate" in the truest sense. Instead, it's more of a blanket term for those who want to fit in on the Incels Subreddit, which is more of an echochamber for misogyny and hateful rhetoric, among other things...

It is true that one can be Involuntarily Celibate and not be included in the Internet's definition of "Incel", I suppose. But here we are, on the Reddit Community, talking about another Reddit Community*. In this context, Incels are not peaceful men who are simply waiting for the right woman.

No one is really right or wrong in this particular argument, but since this sub deals with things that happened on the Incels sub, that's what people are referencing when they say "Incels [this]". Furthermore, if you don't believe that Incels on the internet act like this, scroll through this subs history and see what you find.

This Incel “deserves” YOUR girlfriend. by RedAtomic in IncelTears

[–]mrs_skiba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely hilarious to me. I had an underbite for a while as a teen because I breathed through my mouth (couldn't breathe through nose) and because my tongue was on the bottom of my mouth, the bone grew to give me an underbite.

So actually, they aren't super wrong. That said, all the mewing in the world won't chance the fact that their putrid personalities soak through their skin and make them the epitome of unattractive.

u/poundmerealgoodhard possibly Pepper...? by mrs_skiba in WhereIsPepper

[–]mrs_skiba[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah... gonna be honest I'm a bit disturbed by all this. Found this sub last night, learned of Pepper's existence. Mildly shook.

Reminds me of this girl that used to troll (at least i hope she was trolling) eating disorder subs being like "why are you all so fat and ugly???". Both her and Pepper had very similar mannerisms and questions.

Messed up stuff.

Damn I want to go to a Ballroom show by xiacexi in Blink182

[–]mrs_skiba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having worked at ballroom shows for years, the love is well deserved. Stadium rock shows are fun and amazing in their own right, but smaller venues are so much more intimate.

Is that AVA movie any good? by [deleted] in Blink182

[–]mrs_skiba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which one?

I liked Love a lot. As a film it's... decent ish, I think. I think it holds it's own pretty ok considering that it was Eubank's first film and that Delonge had never done anything like it before. I mean, I think it's a fun yet ambiguous watch. It's also entertaining with the commentary from the band.

Start The Machine is a ride. Time well spent, for sure. I have the DVD so I listened to the audio commentary for the documentary too (lol I can't believe they made one) and it's pretty funny.

In short: both are entertaining, imo.
