“Just Be White (JBW)”: Incels, Race and the Violence of Whiteness"
I feel like this statement describes me best
Race Matters, but Refusal to Submit to JBW and Whitemaxxing
Whereas many racialized incels spoke to internalized racism and self-hatred, a small but significant minority of other racialized incels acknowledged the role of white privilege but ultimately resisted aligning themselves with or succumbing to it. As one incel poster states, “[g]ood luck fellow ethnic. I don't feel comfortable doing that personally. I hate this injustice and doing something similar [whitemaxxing] would only make me feel like I kneeled to this stupid system” (User 12). This incel identifies JBW and whitemaxxing tactics as a form of submitting to this system of whiteness. To the above incel, these tactics feel like an “injustice” to him. It is vital to note that while a number of racialized incels come to a consensus that racialization inhibits their ability to access romance and intimacy, refusing to pursue these tactics and reproduce whiteness can be seen as an act of resistance.tagging ethnic bros @Michael Myers @Jason Voorhees @Ricky212 @murdah @n9wiff
