    White beauty standards are one thing, but male entitlement IMO is another (though white male entitlement absolutely is a thing in and of itself with some similar, and some different ie. r**ey reasons).

    Rodger had issues with all of the above. Honestly I can’t claim that I’d feel sorry for him either way in truth, because that entitlement “I’m a (half) white dude so women (and particularly white women) owe me” is probably the entire reason why any women he came across had the good sense to stay the hell away from his creepy ass.

    Sure, I have sympathy for the non-entitled incels- but I don’t think those tend to call themselves “incels…” (I’m aware the history of the word was hilariously coined by a “femcel” ie. a incel woman who has since been horrified at what types of communities have developed out of the name though). Frankly from most incel posts I’ve seen- well, it really makes sense why they’re single, and it’s not a matter of looks or anything (though those don’t generally help, but it’s a big world out there) but the fact they’re genuinely shitty and entitled people. And it would probably be doing themselves as well as the rest of a world a favor if they got the cuck pit treatment.

      Entitlement is definitely a huge part if it. i was just stating why a large chunk of incels obsess over specifically white women. Especially blonde ones

      incels feel entitled to what they percieve to be the most beautiful women and in western countries thats usually seen as white women

      Yeah, that’s part of what I was getting at. It’s not just entitlement, you have to dehumanize women to think this way. They are possessions to be owned, which is part of why they can be “corrupted.” You only ever see adult men seriously referring to women as “girls”, and it’s usually a sign that deep down they have no respect for women and don’t see them as equal peers.
