    I literally made NO REFERENCE to people with social anxiety whatsoever.

    Yes, I am aware that you painted “incel” with only the stereotypical brush strokes.

    Everyone who mentions incels in the internet is talking about the ones we see in the fucking internet.

    Not everyone. This is the same as someone denigrating “feminists” by talking about all of the stereotypical man-hating behavior, and then when someone replies “hey, there are plenty of feminists who don’t act like that, most even, you shouldn’t generalize”, that person responds saying “everyone who mentions feminists on the internet is only talking about the stereotypical ones”.

    ‘I just meant the bad ones’ is not justification for generalizing, period.
