âIncelsâ vs. Asexuals
After reading about the disgusting mess of a person who drove a van into a group of people - killing some, injuring others - and the resulting investigation which has revealed that the perpetrator labels himself as an âIncelâ, I made the mistake of searching for more information on the subject.Â
I didnât know what an âincelâ was - Iâd never heard of the term before.Â
According to Urban Dictionary (not the best of sources, but Iâm not writing a goddamn dissertation here), an âincelâ is an âinvoluntary celibateâ - usually male - who believes their lack of a sex life stems from being âuglyâ or otherwise undesirable in terms of characteristic, social status, etc.Â
In actuality, it is usually their entitled personality, misogynistic views, and, often, a mish mash of nationalistic, racist tendencies that are contributing to the aforementioned lack of a sex life.Â
Horrifying, right? Couldnât get worse, right?Â
I have come to find out via searching âincelâ on Tumblr that there are attempts being made to validate âincelsâ by linking up with the Asexual community. Solidarity, you know?Â
It is not the goddamn same.Â
There is no fucking solidarity to be found within the Asexual community. An Ace person has a lack of sexual attraction. They might be celibate. They might not. They might be sex-repulsed. They might be sex-positive. There are a thousand nuances within the Asexual community (as there are within every other piece of the LGBT+ community).Â
âIncelâ is not a fucking identity. It is a an insult to women everywhere. These people go around with the assumption that any woman, anywhere owes them sex at anytime and the ONLY reason theyâre not âgetting itâ is because they are ugly or poor or uneducated and the woman should be ashamed of herself for not âlooking past their flawsâ and bending over right then and there.Â
You identify as an âincelâ? Go fuck yourself and keep the name of the Ace community out of your filthy mouth while youâre at it.Â
