An 18-year-old man suspected of planning attacks against women has been charged by France’s anti-terrorism prosecutors in the country’s first case to be exclusively linked to the “incel” movement.
“We charge him with terrorism… Also this loser wasn’t getting enough pussy, which makes him uncool… So up the charges on that basis” -court transcript of new laws being implemented.
You’re going to have to explain this comment a bit more because it sounds like you think men not getting pussy makes them incels instead of them just being disgusting human beings that no one wants to be around.
What you’re describing is the etymology of the word, but its actual meaning in public discourse has morphed to “men who see women and any real or perceived slight/rejection from them as the source of all their problems and are thus generally - sometimes extremely - hateful towards them”.
Incel describes most single people. It’s quite a normal state of affairs to not be having sex most of the time if you’re single. Young people need to be told this far more than they are being.
The charges were terror related, there’s no special extra charge or any new laws being used “for the first time” just because he was an incel…
…also he wasn’t an incel, he was a far-right praising hitler fear of the great replacement teenager.
Pretending that women sleeping with people like that will stop them doing crimes or is somehow a pivotal factor just extends the sex obsessed and objectifying beliefs of that world view.
Using the term incel amplifies the idea that it’s a valid idea.It’s a shitty headline, so I mocked it.

An 18-year-old man suspected of planning attacks against women has been charged by France’s anti-terrorism prosecutors in the country’s first case to be exclusively linked to the “incel” movement.
The suspect, identified as Timothy G., was arrested near a high school in the Saint-Étienne region carrying two knives in his bag. Sources close to the case told the French press agency AFP that he intended to target women and openly identified with the “incel” ideology.
This is the first time the PNAT has handled a case solely involving the incel movement, which had previously appeared marginally in two other terrorism-related cases. One involved a young man from northern France linked to the far right, charged in September 2023 with plans for violent acts. He was described by sources as “an unstable, frustrated young adult rather than an ideologue.” Another case involved four young men, one planning to travel to Syria, two glorifying Hitler and Nazism, and three communicating with a woman who dreamed of bombing a church. Two admired “great replacement” conspiracy theories and mass killers associated with the far right, including Anders Breivik, Brenton Tarrant, and Dylan Klebold. Timothy G. had also shown interest in some of these incidents.
So the anti-terrorism laws have been used before and apply to all terrorism…
My comment is mocking that incel - which basically means single and upset about it, is being made central to the headline.
Just say he’s a misogynist. Pretending it’s something abnormal for single men to not be having sex just extends the premise of “incels” (the idea that they should be upset about it, or that it’s extra).

The word incel is a portmanteau of ‘involuntary celibacy’ so it means, by definition, ‘not getting pussy’

Is there a name for people of any gender who hate dating as much as job interviews? :/
Wankers?🙃
hah, yeah, sounds about right.
Are you saying gay men are all incels?
No, quite the opposite, because they voluntarily reject sex with women.
I mean it really means not having sex, not technically poon
Maybe tell that to the person I was replying to.
well shit you got me there haha SatansMaggotyCumFart, you have expanded my mind today. I retract my previous incorrect definition.

Yep. Given the choice, most people would rather be getting laid. Apparently lemmy finds this idea distasteful.

I have no idea what article you’re talking about.
PNAT laws increase the severity of all terrorism related prosecutions. They aren’t aimed at “incels” in particular.
Hitler, great replacement, and communicating with women, aren’t incel traits. That last one in particular.
That’s far-right stuff.
Plenty of leftwing incels.
That’s a different case like my quote from the article clearly states.

Yeah they think it’s extraordinary to not be having sex when single, so it’s women’s fault.
When being sexless is the majority of what being single means.
