Incel Insight: on being 'Love Shy' & online
2h 13m | May 8, 2021What does it mean to be involuntarily celibate today? How does one describe the experience of being an 'incel'? In this episode, I explore an exclusive perspective from a fellow from an Internet subreddit on his plight of intimacy incapacitation and preoccupation with sex. We talk about subjectivity v. objectivity, the ‘manosphere’ and online dating in the age of COVID-19. Discussions include virginity and “men going their own way” with a sociological look at ideologies about online subculture. We discuss the perception of ‘incels’ as violent and reference some media accounts, specifically a case in Toronto’s recent history. We explore adages of the past including 'spinsters' in a nuanced discussion with this highly insightful individual whom I explore internal and external loci of behavioral control. Topics are not limited to pornography, masturbation, religion, dogma and indoctrination. In short, this episode explores an axiom of hereditarianism and personal improvement around putting the 'p' in the 'v'.
