Why hasn't the great incel novel been written yet? We need someone to accurately describe the struggles of young sensitive men today.

i hate the way 'sensitive' has come to mean simply 'neurotic'. my impression of online incels is that they are completely insensitive to anything outside of their own anxieties. which is maybe why they're incapable of making good art.

you have to actually immerse yourself in their communities like I did to realize there's an equal amount of shared beliefs and debates. Honestly, aside from the odd woman who tries to sign up to the forums only to get banned, the lack of women allowed to post there makes the conversations very straight foward and while there is some drama its relegated to a small part of the board where it gets disposed and forgotten. And I think the problem is people make all sorts of claims they're insenstive but can you really blame them considering no one actually tries to understand why they're so neurotic in the first place? As far as good art, you might be right but there's been attempts made. I am a substack writer so I often act as a mouthpiece for them in certain essays while expositing on various other topics like knowledge, metaphysics and ethics in other pieces. And yes, I got drawn to them basically by being in the larger men's movement umbrella.

The Secretlab Titan Evo gaming chair financed via four biweekly Affirm installments that defaulted in November after the overdrafts, has shed its black polyurethane skin in jagged, psoriatic flakes across the beige Berber carpet, forming a dark snowdrift of synthetic petroleum dander around Tyler’s bare, yellow-nailed heels. Tyler is twenty-seven, though he describes himself in Discord bios as a “timeless old soul trapped in the post-Judaic kali yuga.” He is currently reclined at a one-hundred-and-thirty-five-degree angle, one hand buried up to the wrist in a family-size bag of Takis Fuego, the other resting delicately over his solar plexus as if attempting to manually stabilize a Victorian fainting spell.

"Aura maxxing right now." Tyler whispers to the empty bedroom, his voice thick with the phlegmy, un-exercised baritone of a man who has not spoken aloud to a non-relative since a disastrous GameStop return dispute in mid-October. "I feel too much. That’s the curse in the modern world. Men are forced to be slaves. We can't just express ourselves."

The room smells like a terrarium where a large, depressed mammal is slowly fermenting in its own anxiety. Across the particleboard L-desk lies an archaeological cross-section of American lumpenprole gruel: eleven half-crushed aluminum cans of Monster Mango Loco serving as structural pillars for a precarious ziggurat of stiffened Taco Bell wax-paper wrappers; three ceramic cereal bowls coated in a translucent, amber glaze of petrified Maruchan chicken broth; and an open jar of Skippy peanut butter with a plastic fork submerged up to its tines in the oil layer.

Directly above his dual-monitor rig hangs a slightly damp polyester wall-scroll of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, flanked by two $240 imported PVC figurines of underdressed anime teenagers wielding oversized sniper rifles from a Korean gacha game that currently consumes eighty-two percent of his monthly disability check. He loves women, you see. He reveres them. He is a student of their tragic, fragile essence. He is fond of the qualities of being "cute", "kawaii," and "innocent," as promised by Jesus and pals. It is just that actual, carbon-based women are unforgivably stupid bitches who refuse to recognize his sacrifice. Three-dimensional and pig disgusting.

"Tyler, honey?" his mother’s voice filters through the wooden door, thin and tight with the permanently walking-on-eggshells tremor of a fifty-eight-year-old dental hygienist whose still claims her son as a dependent while he calls her a "boomer narcissist" at Thanksgiving. "I’m running to Costco before the rain starts.... "FUCK YOU BITCH!" Tyler roars, slamming his bare heel into the drywall hard enough to shake a framed print of Belle Delphine. "YOU LITERALLY NEVER RESPECT MY BOUNDARIES! LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!"

the sharty shit has made me hate incels as much as I hate trannies and niggers

>>25626027
Everyone knows why they have their sensitivities. The issue is that incels are such fucking cowards because they have permanent escapism. They run away from every hurt by overgeneralising, especially about women, and doing nothing to improve themselves.
>>
>>25625468
It makes sense for sensitivity to correlate with neuroticism, the latter of which is a regular personality trait that has a negative connotation although it is no more a negative quality than the other Big 5 personality spectra. I gather you associate sensitivity with empathy, and empathy with your political leanings, however, that is your own projection and is neither logical nor reflective of reality.

Any accurate portrayal would have to balance the unrelatable, myopic aspects of incels who wallow in self-pity with inceldom as a reasonable and justifiable response to absolute social deprivation and alienation. As far as I can see, an incel would be incapable of writing it because they’re too entangled in their own frame of reference to have an objective, neutral take on themselves. But it’s also very difficult to find someone who isn’t part of that world to write about it without bias or judgment.

TLDR: I have the necessary skill, partisan view and empathic sensibility to write it, just give me more time faggots
>>
>>25626480
Its just going to come off as whiny and pathetic no matter how hard you try. No one is sympathetic to incels not because they dont have legitimate grievances but because they sound like whiny weaklings no matter how they present them.
>>
>>25626552
We can find all sorts of characters in fiction reprehensible and still empathise with their suffering. You don’t have to identify with the things they do or say, in fact you don’t even have to come close to demonstrating that their rationalisations are correct (because most of the time they aren’t). But at the very least you can make the source of their grievances relatable because they hold true for the vast majority of people. We all seek intimacy and connection, for the most part; we all have to wrestle at times with feelings of inadequacy, alienation and hopelessness. Inceldom is one cope among many, it just comes with a lot of ideologically-adjacent baggage that many find reprehensible.

As I wrote before. Eliot Rodgers does all this, he's funny and morbid, myopic but empathizable. He captures the entire spectrum. The only problem is that most incels are not violent and he clearly colors their larger perception.

It probably won't actually get written for at least a decade. All of the things that have made the current era a shitty time to be a young guy also make it very difficult for someone to tell a story about how and why being a young man sucks now from a young man's perspective.

My idea for an incel novel has actually nothing to do with the psyopped internet definition which is synonymous with "white domestic terrorist", so I don't know if it could have "incel" in the title, as the contrast between the title and the story's raunchy and lighthearted tone plus its wholesome moral might be seen as a taboo political statement.
