If incels are using pornography they are not celibate, obviously. I suspect they are. So most of them are delusional. Celibacy has been practiced for thousands of years. It never involved the self indulgence of porno and one handing it. Incels are just pornified bachelors.
Thanks for the thorough response, Brian. You would be right to infer that incel men are using porn. You are also right that there's an element of delusion involved.
That delusion tends to manifest itself in unpredictable ways especially wjen they are rejected by women they desire.
Our Society created these guys. I think the problem is that they are told: if they’re angered by porno there is something wrong with them. No. It’s custom designed to make young, straight men angry. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. I argue the reaction is very predictable in the aggregate. It’s just a question of which one snaps next. The consequences of pornifying men en masse are on the news every night. Time to stop the denial for all of us!
The "incel" label often carries a negative connotation, but what we overlook is that it's about unfulfilled desires and the struggle to connect with the people we desire.
