Still haven't answered what's wrong with incels

  Male incels are generally very miserable people with a lot of mental health struggles. The implication is that society is also very hostile to men and boys right now, demonstrated by them becoming incels in large numbers.

  incel generally isn't used literally to refer to all people who want to have sex but can't, but a male subset of said group who tend to hold really strong beliefs along the lines of "women won't sleep with me because they're bad", "women only like the bad dudes not nice guys like me", etc.

  None of your posts look flagged to me, but I suspect it was automatic due to votes or flagging which was likely from people responding to your attitude, which is histrionic in its defense of a group defined by attitudes others find loathsome.

    Thankfully the flag was removed. And I don't believe the post actually gets censored, it just gets hidden from non logged-in users, which is great. I don't consider that real censorship at all. And an exceptionally dramatic writing style is somewhat justified in response to a moral panic which is likely to end up destroying many innocent people's lives, people who have done nothing wrong. As countless other moral panics have done throughout history. Because, I know from past experience, that only a small minority of these 'incels' have done anything seriously wrong, and the rest are going to end up on government watchlists for expressing the wrong political opinions. Political opinions that have been deemed inappropriate by pressure groups which are influencing the government to enforce their agendas. And because of the lack of separation of powers nowadays, we will have intelligence agencies such as GCHQ monitoring the Internet, using powers that should be only used against foreign states, turned against the general public to hunt down these 'incels'. Yes, these pressure groups have so much sway over the government, they can even eventually get GCHQ to enforce their agendas. Many of these pressure groups being fronts for those with radical feminist or evangelical christian agendas, i.e. they are the modern equivalent of puritans. This stuff plays out over the decades, and finally we got to the point where we are now, after extensive lobbying by these groups for a very long time indeed. And it's ruining society, these pressure groups are in effect, a national security issue and nothing is being done about them by the government. When in fact it should be a top priority. After all, they are extremist organizations.
