If we could just get these “incels” off of the internet and out of the cities they could be vastly happier and less degraded
I think “get them off the internet” is doing a lot of work in that sentence…
I do not understand what you mean by that. I mean exactly what I said.
“Out of the cities” ? Do you really think people who spend their time watching anime and playing video games are more likely to find people they like in far less densely populated places?
Or is this just another case of “these people would be so much happier if they just had different preferences”
It would actually be possible for them to shift some of their preferences a bit, most likely, but it would require an enormous amount of work, as hidden in the task of “getting them off the internet” - no easy feat!
And by the time you did that, they’d be less likely to be incels.
