    I stumbled upon a conversation about violence against women on Twitter once. The lady spearheading it was of strong opinions against men. Yes, violence against women is abhorrent, and those responsible should be held accountable. Women have the right to be safe.

    But … she seemed to be blaming every man on Earth, going so far as to call for their eradication.

    I happened to make the innocent (yes, truly, I’d never heard or used the statement before), that ‘not all men’ are like the scumbags who commit violence against women.

    Well … !

    “FUCK OFF WITH YOUR NOT ALL MEN BULLSHIT, YOU MYSOGYNIST TROLL CUNT!” And further robust exclamations and accusations of that nature ensued.

    Educated as to the limitations of my knowledge in this area, I decided to withdraw from the conversation.

    Somehow read this at first as “straight German man” and it still made sense.

    I browse “All” most of the time and the Femcel Memes show up pretty regularly. It’s not like this gif though. It’s more like watching a super interesting science experiment.

    “Ah, yes. I see. I see. How interesting!”

    My scientific notes so far:

    • They crave cuddles. It’s almost like a cuddle-based economy.

        I just took an NFPA 70E electrical safety course, and the instructor was talking about how electricians love to cuddle.

        I thought it was weird for a sec, then I remembered the last time I opened an electrical panel with someone else nearby. Then I remembered every other time I opened an electrical panel with other people nearby. Then I remembered all the times that I was all the other people nearby.

        Then he showed us a video of an arc flash with 3 people inside the panel, and then there was nobody nearby.

        Straight guys can’t say it. Not because they don’t crave them, they just can’t say that they do without social sanction. Everyone else apparently gets a pass though.

          I’ll say it; I crave cuddles.

          Cuddles while watching TV is one of the only things that’ll pull me away from my computer.

      Another note is that they seem to all be autistic, with many of them exhibiting symptoms of severe depression. Most are also trans lesbians. Many seem to be cat/fox/puppygirls.

        Depressed autistic transbians commiserating about loneliness

        “Aw cute puppygirls!” head pats

        Depessed autistic cis guys commiserating about loneliness

        “Ew gross incels, yuck!” social stigma

          The difference being that the puppygirls aren’t lashing out and demeaning others … they’re just bed rotting while watching yaoi

            Lots of lonely guys aren’t lashing out and demeaning others either, but people don’t notice them because they’re not lashing out and demeaning others. They still get labeled as incels though, and if they find that hurtful then people will absolutely shred them for it anyway.

            Also, they’ll be shamed for bed rotting, and shamed for watching yuri. No matter what they do, they’ll be shamed for it. So it’s honestly not surprising when a number of them end up lashing out.

    I love the femcel memes people. What scares me is if Violet08 finds them, I think together they would be too powerful.

    It’s been a few years since I delved into the Reddit side, but the femcel communities here are much nicer places to be than the subreddits. There’s some feeling of independence and empowerment here, whereas the subreddits were always overwhelmed by insufferable idiots. They were truly the female version of terminally online incels.
