I think what happens is its just a stupid fuckin feedback loop.
incels and incel-adjacent types are convinced, on a fundamental level, that they are not lovable. that is what it boils down to. there are many justifications they give for this ranging from thinly-veiled phrenology to misogyny to observations, anecdotes, and life experiences.
the justification at the end of the day doesn't matter because it's subjective and personal to every single one of them. these incels then lash out in a variety of ways. some, though blessedly few, become violent and take this out on minorities. others are inflammatory online. many seem to lash out at themselves.
so you have a deeply unwell person displaying deeply unwell characteristics, and in return people tell them that they must be ugly, or unclean, or short, or have a small penis, or a million other things that are senselessly cruel and do nothing but further radicalize them into the idea that they are innately unlovable and worthless.
I see a lot of earnest attempts to reach out, too, but these ultimately fall flat because they give advice that focuses on the wrong things entirely. "go to the gym, be confident, shower, get nice clothes and a nice haircut" is all good advice, but it's going to fall on deaf ears here because ultimately, loneliness and alienation is a social issue, not an individual one. to solve the incel problem requires radical social change and compassion for even the most deplorable.

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)
if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.
--
no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.
I know I don鈥檛 owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They鈥檙e always passing urges, but it鈥檚 disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain鈥檚 spent so long thinking only about suicide that it鈥檚 forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I鈥檓 trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.
I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.
If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.
