What do you think about that Van attack in Toronto?

[AngryCinnabon]

It really concerned me because i in fact live not even and hour and a half from there.

And how do you feel about the fact those Incel fellows did it?

Could you please provide a link in your post? I have no idea what you are talking about.

Not trying to sound like a total edgelord here but, sadly these attacks are becoming routine. I think they happen because some incels feel like they have no purpose in life so they end up idolizing someone who committed a massacre of some sort. They then think to themselves "I'll make them remember me". Unfortunately I can't think of a way to stop or at least lessen the amount of attacks that happen every year.

Not edgy at all, i feel the same.

I blame feminism for turning men into soy drinking incel pussies.

Tumblr needs to cool their bloody tits, we've already for the most part have achieved gender equality in first world countries.

Born in 1993 and as far as I'm aware women always had it easier than men.

feminism at this point has converted into a toxic clusterf##k by the turn of the century. it's lost it's true meaning and now it's an insult, sometimes i wish people weren't so toxic about those topics but well, that's politics/treatment of others for ye.

If only the world was simpler and all lovey-dovey

Hope my yapping doesn't offend anyone, it sure shouldn't

It's GTA IRL.

They came to a point where they thought: "Equality is not enough, I should have revenge on men by demanding more rights than them". It's the same fallacious logic certain people in BLM use to harass white people.
Of course most feminists are not like that and only wish for common well-being among both sides.

It's all fun and games 'till someone rams a van into a busy crowd. I've been making fun of incels ever since they first cropped up. It's a hilariously sad subgroup of impossibly deluded men. I mean, sure, Elliot Rodger was a thing before "incels" became a defined group on the internet, but I never saw the group with dark undertones until the van attack. I saw the headline and first assumed it was another terrorist like we see often in Europe, but then the news came out that the guy was actually a straight-up incel on a rampage. I laughed my ass off at first until the darkness of that fact hit me. They're not just a sad, deluded internet collective, there's actual potential for serious harm to come to others because of them.

Hopefully the attack will at least make some people who associate with that group think the same way.

This is beside the main topic here, but I just want to throw in my view of the world:

I am an undergrad and a male
My SO (J) is a masters student and a female

I have a 3.9GPA
J has a 3.9GPA + a BS degree
we both scored roughly the same on the GER tests as well.

I got an offer to do funded doctoral work even though I am not qualified.
J got brushed from from a Prof who was literally (not figuratively) begging for a doctoral student. Prof later told J's advisor that "she just doesn't seem like the type who would "work hard""

I keep getting offers for any work I want to do.
She can't find anyone in the college who will take her.

J walked across the street from the university to a coffee joint for lunch and was sexually harassed explicitly once going there and once coming back by different men.
I can dig up more stories but that's just what happened today.

While it's true there are quite a few women who do have things easier, like my friend who works 2 nights a week as a bartender and can pull in a grand in tips, I can point out an equal number of women who have a harder time of it. It's hard being a female in the USA.

If anyone is reading this and wants to know what they can do, just please be supportive of women in STEM fields.

how comes that wiki page doesn't have a date? it looks like it's a name, not an event.
at least, other languages have a date in the page's name.
still should be on wikinews instead.

that was just my two cents

I'm sorry, but how is it women's fault if men go on a killing spree?...

You've never seen the group with dark undertones? Really? Have you never been on r/incel?

To me it isn't women's fault but it's those
radical ones that are to blame somewhat,

What disgusts me is how the van attack is being actively celebrated on incel forums. Like Elliot Rodger, the van guy is now a martyr for their "cause." Gross.

Yep, I have. Their wanton praise for Elliot Rodger is dark enough, but it never really hit me that one of them would actually go on another rampage until the van attack. That's me being naïve.

Kind of off-topic, but the only way you could be involuntarily celebate is if you were born with some sort of severe mental impairment or physical deformity. I mean, if someone like me with a severe crippling social anxiety can accomplish it, fucking anyone can. Hell, I saw a documentary about a guy born with no legs, and he was saying he gets laid all the time. What are these idiots doing wrong? Seriously.

How? Like even radical SJWs are an issue for other reasons, how do they in ANY way play a causational role in a grown-ass adult man making the concious decision to intentionally maim a crowd of people?

If you were to take anything they said seriously, it's supposedly because women are genetically hard-coded to like "Chads"

I should explain this differently, It's thanks to those people who despise of men that incels think women are terrible, but that doesn't mean what he did was right in any way. my apologies.
