Do incels actually hate foids, or is that just an outsider strawman?
Serious question. From what I’ve seen, most self-identified incels don’t hate women in the cartoon villain sense — they’re bitter, resentful, and frustrated about exclusion, not waking up every day plotting against foids.
A lot of the hostility looks reactive: years of rejection + gaslighting + being told “it’s your personality” will obviously breed resentment. That’s not the same thing as genuine hatred, even if the language gets extreme.
On the other hand, there are posters who go full dehumanization, which is what outsiders latch onto to paint everyone with the same brush.
So what is it really?
Hatred?
Resentment?
Coping through exaggeration and edgy language?
Or a vocal minority dragging the label down?
Curious how people here see it, especially those who’ve been around these spaces for a while.
