Is there nothing the right won’t call a “false flag”?

I hope you’re sitting down, because this news could rock you to your very core: a new study shows that people who identify as “gamers” are more likely to act in racist and sexist ways.

Even Freud, as obsessed as he was with the darkest aspects of human desire, would have an aneurysm reading through the posts on Incels.is.

So Men’s Rights Redditors are complaining about being called incels again.

Incels devote a lot of their energy to imagining, in gory pornographic detail, all the sex they think women are having. Here are some reflections on the subject from someone called Inceldom Victim, one of the most prolific posters on Incels.is.

When the Federalist teased its essay “We Need To Stop Calling Ourselves Conservatives” on Twitter on Thursday, some people, including myself, joked that the new word they were looking for was probably “fascists.” This turns out to be not much of a joke, as the essay, by Federalist senior editor John Daniel Davidson, preaches a revanchist authoritarianism that in many ways resembles classical fascism.

In a Twitter thread yesterday, a self-described “public health activist and grassroots organizer” named Alexandra M. Hunt set forth the outlines of what she sees as a solution to the problem of “involuntarily” celibate men. Many of her suggestions are sensible and good in themselves — decriminalizing sex work, improving sex education, “creating outreach programs that help young people develop healthy sexual habits.”

Newsweek has confirmed a rumor that has been spreading online: the wonderful human being known as Nathan Larson has died in custody. Last month, actually.

Once in a while, someone will step forward with what they see as a “solution” for incels: hire sex workers to take care of their celibacy, the root cause of their hatred and bitterness.

Madonna’s “I’m gay” Tik-Tok video has confused a lot of people on the internet, myself included. In the video, Madonna taps into a TikTok meme in which people announce “if I miss this, I’m gay,” before throwing something at or perhaps into a wastebasket. Or maybe a basketball hoop. I don’t know, I don’t generally watch TikTok if I can help it.
