> Them being defective That's a pretty gross way of looking at the world.

  Perhaps you mistakenly believe I said all the people who missing out on human interaction are defective. This isn't so. Lets review context. the parent poster >> “Incel” terrorism is already much more common than class terrorism My response > Them being defective is a problem we can only address by making mental health services more available The subject is people who literally commit acts of terror and murder because they themselves collectively blame women for not having sex with them and instead collectively gifting their virtue to higher status men instead of concluding that they are failing at the mating game. There is NOTHING that society needs to fix about itself in order to avoid mutilation and murder. The perpetrators of such crimes are defective in the literal not pejorative sense in the same fashion that a leaky gas line that is liable to blow up and kill people. Suggesting that resources be devoted to help such people before their actions harm themselves or others is the opposite of gross.

    Calling people "defective" is highly pejorative in virtually any context. It's certainly a great way to get people to stop listening.

      You can't communicate with people who murder people because they can't get laid. You communicate with the people who are not far gone.
