Again, I'd like to extend our thanks for your hard work. Are you aware that the sole reason people are trying to shut you down is that you're providing a safe space for incels at /s/Incels? There is a subreddit https://reddit.com/r/IncelTears full of people who despise us and try to hunt us down. Their mission in life is to make sure that we suffer and they'll go far out of their way to do so.

You have no idea what a relief it is to have the admins actually try to protect us from bullies for once.

Why do people hate incels so much?

I don't get it. Other than typical bullshit like the condemn all muslims post 9/11.

Humans evolved to be tribal. The need to hate, to find a scapegoat, an enemy, is sadly a part of being human.

Fortunately, thanks to social progress it has become much less socially acceptable to hate an ever-growing number of groups such as Muslims and transexuals. However, the people leading the charge to stop the hate are women more often than not. Unattractive men are a group even women with best intentions struggle to care about. And if any woman acts out of lockstep to defend us? She ends up being ostracized and suffering.

Bottom line: most of that "societal hatred quota" is met by focusing on us. We're a lightning rod for society's rage. Nevertheless, I have faith society will continue to progress and in a few decades it will be socially unacceptable to mock men for using a fleshlight or being short in much the same way it's socially unacceptable now to mock women for being ugly or fat.
