It's an interesting look inside the mind of an incel (it's all told from his perspective), but like I said, it is brutal. It doesn't hold anything back. I think it's worth it anyway, but I thought I would warn people now.

Oh I’m agreeing with you overall, just trying to show how poorly constructed their own perspective is, and while the depression and anxiety is obviously contributing, the underlying issue for both of those conditions for many is that our society has become completely segmented. People in my experience are not looking to expand their social circles and in general do not trust people outside of their circles.

Do many incels have clinical conditions that they don’t get treatment for because of toxic masculinity and have their perspectives reinforced by shitbags like Andrew Tate that prey on them? No doubt 100%. But I don’t think under diagnosed and treated mental health issues tell the whole story. And that is coming from someone who’s is chronically depressed, anxious, frighteningly single, who also has few friends because of a recent cross country relocation. The only people I blame for this are those at the levers of power that have been driving us in this direction for quite some time

Comic Books

A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.
