Are incel forums the new pro-anorexia groups?

[Andros]

Built on the false promises that if you are thin like a supermodel or masculine like a ‘Chad’ you will be beautiful, desirable, and successful, both forums are full of arbitrary formulas and subjective rating systems that attempt to quantify beauty and objectify perfection, effectively rendering true attractiveness as an attainable pursuit.

"False promises"

But though extreme in their approach to physical perfection, these behaviours are indicative of a wider cultural phenomenon; the heightened value we place on the individual and in this case, individual appearance.

"cultural phenomenon"

This means not only finding ways to challenge beauty standards and widen representations in media but also questioning fundamental assumptions around selfhood and what it means to be an individual.

Are incel forums the new pro-anorexia groups?

How the dark world of incel forums are mirroring the subjective rating systems and arbitrary formulas seen in pro-ana communities in a bid to quantify perfection

I thank the Lord for this stupid article and it's sub 80 IQ writers.

Such articles are the most necessary factors that contribute to the secrecy of looksmaxxing. I hope more normies read this and change their minds from entering such forums.

It only gets better for us.

having been AN and gone on those forums they make this forum seem friendly by comparison. literally non stop hatred and competitiveness with other users, frequently encouraging other users to rope, etc. looking back on it its worth it to make an account as a troll ngl, could be funny.
