They crave cuddles.
Who among us cannot say the same?
I just took an NFPA 70E electrical safety course, and the instructor was talking about how electricians love to cuddle.
I thought it was weird for a sec, then I remembered the last time I opened an electrical panel with someone else nearby. Then I remembered every other time I opened an electrical panel with other people nearby. Then I remembered all the times that I was all the other people nearby.
Then he showed us a video of an arc flash with 3 people inside the panel, and then there was nobody nearby.
Arc flashes are nature’s way of saying cuddle time is over.
I definitely crave them.
When I was very young, I had a friend with the AIM name "BovineLover" (followed by a number I don't remember). They were how I learned the word "bovine." I haven't talked to them in almost thirty years.
I'm inclined to assume that you are they. Hopefully you've had a good thirty years!
Well I'm not even thirty, so I'm probably not him.
Straight guys can't say it. Not because they don't crave them, they just can't say that they do without social sanction. Everyone else apparently gets a pass though.
I'll say it; I crave cuddles.
Cuddles while watching TV is one of the only things that'll pull me away from my computer.
Brave. Now say it on a de-anonymized platform and enjoy being a social pariah for the rest of your life.
People who are touch averse.
Not sure that i do. Those seem to be completely pointless and I'm always baffled why people crave those so much. Under good circumstances, after practicing those become completely neutral, but usually those are just uncomfortable.
Everyone has different preferences, straight man here and I always want cuddles. It depends on what your "love language" is i.e. how you prefer to give/receive affection.
For me cuddles and other forms of non-sexual touch (not that I'm asexual, far from it) are my preference for giving and receiving. Acts of service, like cooking a meal etc. I'm fine with giving but it makes me feel awkward to receive. And gift giving (random flowers, chocolate, trinkets, etc.) I prefer not to do because trying to come up with a good gift stresses me out and I don't like random gifts, I really appreciate the thought but if I don't find a use for it, including being a decoration I like, I don't want it.
But like you said, you find a middle ground with your partner and I do the same as well.
Another note is that they seem to all be autistic, with many of them exhibiting symptoms of severe depression. Most are also trans lesbians. Many seem to be cat/fox/puppygirls.
Depressed autistic transbians commiserating about loneliness
"Aw cute puppygirls!" head pats
Depessed autistic cis guys commiserating about loneliness
"Ew gross incels, yuck!" social stigma
Lots of lonely guys aren't lashing out and demeaning others either, but people don't notice them because they're not lashing out and demeaning others. They still get labeled as incels though, and if they find that hurtful then people will absolutely shred them for it anyway.
Also, they'll be shamed for bed rotting, and shamed for watching yuri. No matter what they do, they'll be shamed for it. So it's honestly not surprising when a number of them end up lashing out.
The fact they're mostly trans take the appeal from me.
I mean, you don't have to be attracted to anything you're not attracted to. No one is saying "you have to like puppygirls!"
The point isn't to fetishize femcels. The point is that double-standards are a problem that maybe understandably lead to people feeling left behind by society.
Maybe "incels" have a legitimate reason for feeling discontent after all, and it's not "because women tell them no" like people claim. More like "because people ridicule them for being alone."
They'll be nice if you give them a pink monster and tell them they're a good girl.
I prefer white monster but yes
pink monster
Please tell me you're talking about an energy drink.
just wait till you see the cuddle parties in vrchat with full body tracking hehe
(I'm the one with piece signs)
though, unfortunately not with the folks from femcel memes... :(
^cough cough !VRChat@sh.itjust.works _cough cough_^
Strange as fuck heh. Also, it's a rich person solution as well.
Can get a used quest 2 for like $100, not crazy but not nothing. Unfortunately not powerful enough to view the more detailed rooms or avatars, or so I've heard.
I think I just walked in here from searching about VR stuff, but you can 3d print a PCVR headset and assemble with off the shelf components for under $150 USD (there's an article on hackaday), or buy used headsets for $200-300. It's not unobtainable to most, I think.
That would literally fuck up my life rn actually. Believe it or not.
I don't want to upvote and intrude on their shit but they're funny
same! I love femcel memes. The lesbian ones are pretty funny too but it's the same thing. It's not my space to yap in, but I'm going to save that meme and share it with my friends.
I think you're fine. It's more of a vibe and if you identify with it you're welcome. As opposed to womenstuff that is very much exclusive.
As long as it's ironic. Actual female incels are every bit as bad as their male counterparts.
pretty sure female incels have never shot up a school or massage parlor, but I personally don't need to put people on some kind of badness hierarchy
Brenda Ann Spencer? There's an old song about her called "I Don’t Like Mondays".

i dont think that's a femcel bro
dont need to
I'm a dude and I've posted memes there
I love the femcel memes people. What scares me is if Violet08 finds them, I think together they would be too powerful.
I don't know if people realize that she is a freaking minor.
I'm basically okay with that? The average age where people first have sex has been rising, but it's still less than 18.
Oh don’t get me wrong, they’re a fantastic, mutually supportive community. I just didn’t realize what I was walking into at first. It was like entering a club I had no business entering.

The first time I commented there, I tried to be courteous in the way I usually was on tumblr. People responded kindly, but read a bit confused. I quickly realized that the club was open to all. (Within reason)
Which is to say, similar experience
Wrraf arf raf arf!!! :3
rough rough!!! :3
It's been a few years since I delved into the Reddit side, but the femcel communities here are much nicer places to be than the subreddits. There's some feeling of independence and empowerment here, whereas the subreddits were always overwhelmed by insufferable idiots. They were truly the female version of terminally online incels.
I think it's worse in leemy. I honestly feel like killing myself half the time I am here and it'd only a little better then reddit.
Maybe it's time to disengage from Lemmy if it's impacting your mental health so much. Take care, comrade.
I stumbled upon a conversation about violence against women on Twitter once. The lady spearheading it was of strong opinions against men. Yes, violence against women is abhorrent, and those responsible should be held accountable. Women have the right to be safe.
But ... she seemed to be blaming every man on Earth, going so far as to call for their eradication.
I happened to make the innocent (yes, truly, I'd never heard or used the statement before), that 'not all men' are like the scumbags who commit violence against women.
Well ... !
"FUCK OFF WITH YOUR NOT ALL MEN BULLSHIT, YOU MYSOGYNIST TROLL CUNT!" And further robust exclamations and accusations of that nature ensued.
Educated as to the limitations of my knowledge in this area, I decided to withdraw from the conversation.
Civil discourse dies on twitter. The algo demands "engagement".
Also, the absolute irony of using Elon Musk's platform to push a progressive or faux-progressive view point.
don't understand how that relates to femcel memes though
Isn't a femcel a type of battery?
I was just there, looking at a meme that I didn't understand, with comments that I not only didn't understand, but don't even comprehend how they relate to the post.
I really try to be understanding and tolerant of all perspectives, but don't think I've ever felt more disoriented in my life. It was totally alien to me.
I chose not to engage, because I couldn't even figure out what the fuck was going on.
The irony being that,
From the time article you linked: "Nearly 7 percent of men, however, reported that at some point in their lives, they were “made to penetrate” another person—usually in reference to vaginal intercourse, receiving oral sex, or performing oral sex on a woman. This was not classified as rape, but as “other sexual violence.”
The term usually is not scientific. There needs to be more clarity here.
Also, this article is strange– it has the aggressive tone of someone with a grudge and something to prove. But the take away of this article seems to be more about standardizing vocabulary when researching sexual assault and rape for better accuracy and NOT about claiming women rape as much as men so therefore sexual assault and rape against women is a non-issue.
and NOT about claiming women rape as much as men so therefore sexual assault and rape against women is a non-issue.
Sexual assault and rape against men is also an issue and we should start treating it like one.
Poor men, they have it so hard. 😢
Sorry dronie, a specter is haunting lemmy.
Coming here after the post was changed to be a gif of puppies chasing a little kid, reading the comments really confused me until I realized what happened
Edit: lol never mind my app wasn't showing me the full height gif

bork bork bork bork bork!! >:3
So real
Incel wanted to know how much women don't want to fuck people like him.
How do you even become a femcel? Men literally swarm anything roughly women like
Valuing personal safety and not having the energy to filter through that swarm for safe/trustworthy men is my guess.
Makes sense.
You don't know any woman that you definitely wouldn't date?
Being MAGA disqualifies you. Even then, I might think if her only problem is a lack of men accepting her, maybe her finding someone would make her stop going MAGA? At least another woman if nothing else.
But I don't trust humans enough to be vulnerable near them atm, so past tense. They only understand paycuts and lawsuits, that's how I establish facts, through legal documents and courts.
He might have be old enough to have been part of the original invcel message boards. It was a woman who kick started the whole thing.
Fascinating Reply All podcast about it.
That’s the entire joke, at least seen from the man’s side.
These femcels actually believe that they are involuntarily celibate, when it actually comes 100% down to them not wanting the lower-90% of men in any capacity except as simps to do things for them and beta orbiters to maintain their egos.
That doesn’t make them involuntarily celibate in any way, shape, or form, it just makes them deeply delusional of their own value, and horrendously self-sabotaging.
Honestly, the hate and gender bigotry coming out of those communities make male incels look like rank amateurs. Men are so wildly behind the curve - compared to women - where gender bigotry is concerned that I’m shocked that men are even considered a problem, much less the problem.
I mean, when was the last time you heard of men advocating to kill all women except for a small, select breeding population who exists purely to keep the population maintained?
And yet, this is the fave philosophy of several of feminism’s greatest founders and writers - to bring the male population down to (depending on who is doing the advocating) either less than 1% of the population, or even lower. That men’s only purpose should be for sperm production, and so vanishingly few men would ever be needed except as a minimum level of genetic diversity. These women are lauded and widely celebrated by feminists everywhere.
You literally cannot make this shit up.
Literally just makes up a bunch of shit
Except I don’t have to. Plenty of women have blazed this path.
Most prominently:
With plenty more waiting in the wings.
Finally,
Feminism isn’t about equality. It never was. It’s all about female supremacy, “special rights for me but not for thee”; about punishing men in the present for the sins of their fathers and grandfathers.
Yikes
what a sad way to go through life.
You literally can.

If you have a problem with feminism, have a problem with actual feminism, actual feminists and actual mainstream feminist arguments. Instead of cherry-picking 3 dead women and misrepresenting them, start here instead: https://www.unwomen.org/...
I wouldn't say the feminists I know believe any of that stuff. Most of them are focused on poverty and rape and how those things affect women.
I didn't opt into this world and won't be opted out by some moron either. I have mine, and anyone who does not respect that, can eat lead.
I neither care about them, nor bother them, nor am interested in them, so they better not get any ideas.

I browse "All" most of the time and the Femcel Memes show up pretty regularly. It's not like this gif though. It's more like watching a super interesting science experiment.
"Ah, yes. I see. I see. How interesting!"
My scientific notes so far:
