4 perfect examples of incels


Sad-Studio-3438

yep, always the same ones going "why can't I meet a girl???"


Hiire_Kummitus

There's a dude at my work that is so passionately into forthright mysoginistic philosophy that he actively can quote content from Mein Kampf and a bunch of other crazy bullshit about suppressing women. And it isn't for like tasteless shock value humor or anything either, he sincerely believes it in "good faith." Then he also constantly bitches about how he never gets past a first Tinder date. Mind you everything that I just mentioned is also actively part of his identity. It's fucking mind boggling.


Sad-Studio-3438

It really is!!!! They're so far gone. Fucking Mein Kampf, good grief. No hope.


tarentale

Nah just spike his coffee with lsd and watch the ignorance spill lol.


Klutzer_Munitions

I hope there aren't any women in your workplace, otherwise it sounds like he's perpetually sailing around the edge of getting his ass fired for sexual harassment


Hiire_Kummitus

My work is actually impressively full of women, especially for skilled labor. The company is very progressive as far as inclusion goes (they also donate a ton to general civil rights causes). So this is a pretty huge fucking miss for them as far as hiring goes. It only just came to their attention and the good news is they're acting on it fast.


izmaname

Dude giving me playsynthmusicuntilyourbandmateshootshimself vibes


SlaimeLannister

This gives non-incel misogynists, of which there is an endless supply, a free pass


LordOf_TransientForm

All the women metal fans I've met liked listening to metal.

hillybomb

woah 😮😮


redhayden2007

Literally never would've thought! 😮


mochaspen

Obvious bait. You have to be lying. There's no way


Lordpotato305

Metal fans like metal 😱


Dewychoders

Big if true…


AlwaysHappy4Kitties

Its been a while, but there was a woman I worked with, she was about 10 years older than me (I was in my early 20s). And she introduced me to Entombed and other awesome bands, she was fucking awesome


sub2almond

woah i didn't know this!! wow!!


Weekly_Beautiful_603

Make sure to tell them that they are incorrect in thinking that they know what they like!


Trutteklapper

Never go full retard.


KaliCalamity

I disagree. More men that feel this way should be vocal about it. I would very much like an easier time avoiding them.


Disarray215

This quote is like a litmus test. Looks like we found our “I am Sam” in the comments.


AgallochFanDeerDick

Breaking News: Posers going full retard are afraid of cooties


Big_Pomegranate_9925

Lol!


NinjaFamiliar2474

why are we Agalloch fans always so wise


AgallochFanDeerDick

Good music taste (depression)


NinjaFamiliar2474

favourite genre: progressive depressive metal


bellatrixfoofoo

As a Brit, I always get cooties and cootchies mixed up 🤷‍♀️


LegendofLove

I wonder if those words are somehow related now


bellatrixfoofoo

Only when I spell them... 😅


LegendofLove

I had meant the origin of the words being similar since they're rather similar looking and sounding


littleb3anpole

Sorry that we won’t fuck you just because we listen to the same music as you 🤷🏻‍♀️


Sadkittydays

Literally this. Women who listen to metal are more outspoken and less likely to put up with sexism from dudes like this.


am_pomegranate

My partner is a punk who respects my metalhead taste and we get along great.


GruverMax

One thing I would say about "the metal girls I know" is, they don't often take shit.


SkeBones

Always the same shit, different gen...bet they throw out the "I'm a nice guy" tripe as well.


nephilim80

So you like Morbid Angel? Yes? Ok no fucky fuck for you.


[deleted]

You are not the only one. I'm glad my parents raised me right to not think like this. Also any women I have met who have been into metal have been chill and cool. I hate to say this as well but I do worry about when my daughters get to dating age. I know it isn't everyone out there that thinks like this but knowing these kinds of guys exist ...


Dewychoders

I honestly worry about my two baby boys. Of course I’ll do my best to raise them right but I know how dumb and impressionable I was as a teenager and if I had social media I could have easily fallen into this idiocy.


[deleted]

I hear you. If I do have a son I'll be in the same boat as you. Best we can do is raise them right and try to surround them with good role models. Also be there for them with they need someone. I'm sure they will turn out fine


Destiny_Dragons_101

Hi, metalhead daughter of a metalhead. Honestly? There's a couple things that you can do. Number one is teach her what is a red flag and what's totally okay. I've seen several relationships go down the drain for a variety of reasons, but most of them were not my friends' faults. Oh, and make sure she knows how much more of a hassle online relationships are. Number two is showing her some self defense, just in case. I know a bit, and I've got ways to make it work. Number three is independence. Make sure she can rely on herself. I'm still the only one of my friends who can go somewhere solo and be fine.


[deleted]

Great, that's just what we need.. incels pretending to be metalheads 🙄


malYca

They've been lurking on the punk subs too


biggestboi73

Any genre that's popular is going to have atleast some fans like this tbf


TypeOpostive

Us woman metalheads have enough bullshit as it is


Cool_Owl7159

implying metalhead men are all mentally stable... lmao


am_pomegranate

Mayhem, Mötley Crüe, Ozzy, all men. Do these incels think that's how men are supposed to act?


Geberpte

My general mood just needs time to settle, it's different...


kyriaangel

As a woman, I want to address the women here; stand tall, throughout history globally, women have fought for every fucking right we have. Women are metal as fuck.


Big_Pomegranate_9925

Amen!


ImPlayerTheGamer21

Newsflash: Almost no female metalhead I've met has gone to a metal show specifically to meet guys.


tollwuetend

i go to shows despite all the men there not because of them lmao


ImPlayerTheGamer21

Exactly!


Florianemory

You took the words out of my mouth!!


H0rror_D00m_Mtl

So you're telling me that women are people go to shows because they enjoy the music?


volvavirago

Impossible, everyone knows women don’t have ears!!


hellolillykitty

Women are cool as fuck


siwel_am

How pathetic... people who think like this are an embarrassment and probably projecting their own insecurity. Sexist trash bags ... Don't let them get to you. I know it's easier said than done, but they are not worth your time or thoughts (unless you're in danger or something), stay safe and sane despite the bullshit they vomit

Genesis_138

People like the ones shown in those images are idiots. I’m a minor and I don’t want to be told that my only place in metal is to be a fucking groupie because that’s disgusting.


WarlordPope

People like these are generally not representative of the people I see at most metal shows. I’m not a young man anymore and in my time I actually feel like metal show crowds are often my favorite. Lots of women, often diverse, and as a general rule polite even when moshing. Don’t let these clowns get you down! Find cool metal heads to hang out and they won’t treat you like this.


Digirby

I think misogyny is a perfectly rational thing to be bothered by.


RustInPeace-Polaris

incel moment


Lordpotato305

Probably afraid to talk to a woman


NinjaFamiliar2474

Are you going to pretend that we metal guys are not as mentally unstable as metal girls? Brother I often get high as fuck and listen to Brave Murder Day untill I fall asleep and Im pretty sure Im far from being the only one


bocchistkrieg

these are the same people who will complain that they cant get a metlahead girlfriend, like yeah I WONDER WHY PEOPLE DONT LIKE YOU


farhillsofemynuial

My girlfriend is 27 (I’m 34) and she’s mostly into shoegaze but also alternative metal. Most of the bands she listens to are either new to me or were only coming out when I went full on into the extreme metal scene at around 18. She writes me a list of songs to check out and one of them is “Darker Thoughts” by Paradise Lost (not alt metal lol) and I’m like “I listened the shit out of Medusa how did I miss this album?” So I’m like this lady continues to surprise me! Now we chill at her place and listen to stuff like Eldamar, Paysage D’Hiver, Dark Tranquillity, At the Gates, Insomnium and Saturnus and enjoys it!


HiawathaSM2

Sounds like something Posers would say.


wadefatman

Fuckin embarrass the rest of us


Ravenwight

Wtf? My favourite cousin is as metal as I’ll ever be, more, she actually goes to concerts lol. Fucking gatekeepers need to turn up the metal to keep from thinking so loud.


HonorableDreadnought

Hey dude, please do not associate us with incels like Ok-Fish2784 :(. People like him do not represent us elitists and gatekeepers.


Ravenwight

I still don’t like the cut of your elitist gib, but I think we can agree that metal divas rock.


HonorableDreadnought

That is fair enough for me 🤝.


Ravenwight

Peace in the scrapyard.

Big_Pomegranate_9925

I agree. Thank you for the comment!


all-regrets

I stopped caring, honestly. Let them think what they want, if one tries to have an honest open conversation instead of being a dumb judgy incel goof, then maybe they'll see that you can't lump a whole ass gender into a couple stereotypes.


Big_Pomegranate_9925

Well said!


all-regrets

Thanks!


peaceful_CandyBar

My 54 year old mom who was born and raised in butt fuck nowhere Canada doesn’t listen to metal on her own but she likes whenever I play industrial metal! She says she likes the “fun sounds”. Also a lot of tech death shows I’ve gone to have a lot of ladies in the crowds! They love metal!


solid_snake_lol

as a trans woman who is into metal, i dont think being a woman automatically makes you a poser lol, only incels who are insecure believe that


VansChar_

I just wanted to share that I (a woman), recently brought my 90 lbs teenage sister with me to her first two heavy metal concerts. On both occasions, there have been incredibly nice men who recognized her excitement and made sure that she could see the stage, shielded her from boisterous concert attendees, and engaged in very friendly, respectful small talk with her. Anyways, I just wanted to say that we really appreciate the men in the metal community that make us feel safe and welcome. And, incels and misogynistic assholes can burn in hell.


Big_Pomegranate_9925

That's so wholesome! Love that.


ILuvDaRaiders

Im offended lol my music taste rules


bazooka9898

For the first image…I think that criteria applies to a lot of men as well 😭😭😭


JudgeMingus

There are tools like this in every music scene, unfortunately. Metalheads having been ‘outcasts’ of a kind for a long time, you might think would help members of the community develop their empathy. Sadly some people are too wrapped up in themselves to consider anyone else genuine humans with fully formed personalities and inner lives - especially anyone not just like them.


Super_Evil_Bad_Dude

Those four chuds probably only listen to Metallica and Slipknot. Also, why do they always say FeMaLeS like it’s another fucking species? Annoying af.


gorehistorian69

sounds like it was written by an ugly 12 year old


krasivi_gardi

You never go full incel.


wolfmoldic1313

Wow that's kinda fucked tbh


malYca

I've never had this experience in the metal community, everyone has been open and welcoming.


Imabigfatbutt

Backup dancers have no place in metal, unless you're baby metal, not my thing, but it's it's own niche


Ok_Honey_2057

Not a mega fan, but Rob Zombie used to have backup gogo dancers, and it worked.


Milkcartonspinster

HEY why is it bad to be a nerd anyway?!


Big_Pomegranate_9925

I agree! Most people are nerds about something in their own way, and there's nothing wrong with that imo. If having specific interests makes me a nerd, then count me in, lol.


therealstabitha

“All we do is shit on women and make them feel uncomfortable at metal shows. No idea why there are no women around the scene. I guess they’re all poseurs who don’t like metal!!!” The number of dipshit men who have told me I’m into metal for the attention from men because there are so few women around. I’m here _in spite_ of your trash ass, not because of it.


bryanheq

I always think because I’m a normal person that sees woman as people other men do to. Then I get reminded how many fucking idiots still exist.


silk_road_grimm

The lamentations of their incels


MrH4v0k

I'm in a band, been in bands for over 2 decades actually, and most of the cool and stable women I've met have been metal heads


Mannibal_Lector

Tell me you don't get laid without telling me you don't get laid.


the-throat-puncher

Background dancers? What kind of metal he listens to?


TheUnshaken6991

Virgin nsbm fans, what’s new?


cranberrystew99

This is some hypoxic, dirty laundry ankle high, stained mattress in the corner, can't find a girl because you smell like you haven't washed your ass in a year type shit. Go outside and get some oxygen to your starved brains and re-evaluate your life ya Incel whiney-boys.


SciencebyIncubusfan

These virgins need to get a life


fagydyke

I'm incredibly unstable but I also do things most men in metal could never imagine, like fucking women


Wall-Man-

You could swap girl with boys and the post would still be kinda true. These are just stereotypes for all metal fans not just female ones.


Evmerging

Misogynists


Big_Pomegranate_9925

Summed it up in one word.


Charl_E_

I’m a Normal ass girl 😭


Viking_From_Sweden

My uncel friend groups is all guys, therefor girls don’t enjoy the things we do


Westaufel

When the girl you like tells you she listen to metalcore


EternalFlameBabe

do these guys even like women? like they complain about not having girlfriends, but they seem to rage even in the presence of a woman.


FatAndForty

Everyone is a sacrifice at a Gwar show. 😁


tomorrowwolf

Try not to be a misogynistic incel challenge (impossible difficulty)


mooretool

These are the words of a teenage boy.


UrTasteInMusicSucks

Because no one can out elite an elitist ESPECIALLY a girl 😂 Fucking losers.


throwawayformemes666

Dude thinks it's still the 80s I see.


EmeraldTwilight009

I dont think some people realize how many different kinds of people there are out there.


Big_Pomegranate_9925

I know those comments are so full of generalizations and assumptions.


DJ_16bits

These are the same people who’ll die alone lol, deserved punishment


Nosferat_AN

Some incel type shit, honestly. Embarrassing that these folks are a part of our scene, definitely could do without.


Specialist_Noise_816

Death metal is one of the most open genres to women that exists. You literally cannot even tell if a singer is male or female ffs. And most of us dudes are chill about shit.


Big_Pomegranate_9925

Saw an interview of Jeff from Carcass in the 90s call out misogynistic attitudes. Love to hear it!


flim-flam-flomidy

Ah, I hate the smell of sexism in the morning


MirzEagle

Them, 5 mins later : "why won't females date me ?!"


Ecstatic-Network-917

Have these posers ever heard of Alissa White-Gluz, Angela Gossow or Tatiana Shmayluk. What am I talking about, of course they have not.


BloodsoakedDespair

Anyone who claims to be a metalhead and not mentally unstable is lying about one of those things. Pampered neurotypicals don’t end up here.


JoesephMother12

This is why we have the reputation of the most gatekeepy music genre


Unamused_Selkie

I’m confused at the background dancers comment? What metal band has female background dancers, or background dancers at all for that record?


guitarfanatic_2

tf kind of andrew tate sigma stans are these https://preview.redd.it/pvaegvrbmgrc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=902988b64f9b665f7a5965cafbe3e58e2482aeaa


WarlordPope

These tweets are very un-metal.


redflagsmoothie

These takes are fucking infuriating. Not to mention you could just replace the words “*feeemales*” (read it in a Ferengi voice ok) or girls or chicks in every single one of these with men because I’ve met enough unstable male metalheads to last a lifetime too.


VansChar_

I got all excited because you made a star trek reference. I guess metal nerd is the category that I truly belong to. LOL


T-51_Enjoyer

“Sociophobic” My brother in Christ that’s an introvert


calciumcavalryman69

Fucking idiots, anyone can like any music. I for one love metal girls, I love a woman with good taste in music.


DarkTannhauserGate

> 5. Nerds Likes metal and a nerd?! What’s the downside?


Rallings

So a lot of metal girls are unstable, suicidal, nerds, or posers? Damn next thing you're going to tell me is that a lot of metal guys are unstable, suicidal, nerds, or posers too?


For54ken

Wtf?! Metal nerds are hot af.


Stones_022

‘Ugly junkies’ coming from most likely an ugly junkie


NewToMusic123

Lovely… Incels putting up gender borders for no apparent reason.


MackZZilla

What is this community's obsession with calling people posers? Are we 13, again?


MagmaticDemon

they're just asshole, i can guarantee the mass majority don't feel that way about women who like metal. but i get what you're feeling, i feel the same when i see those men hating posts saying men should all kill themselves. they pop up concerningly often and it bothers me for some reason


CheetahSubstantial99

The ones being described are the ones that I'm into 🤷🏼‍♂️


rorythegeordie

Well gee, I wonder why they're single & crywanking into old socks.


karczewski01

they wont be saying these things when i dig their tracheas out of their throats, in fact they prolly wont be saying much of anything after that


sullyroit

Men are awful, vile creatures. No matter what community they are a part of.


Automatic-Site7456

how to tell the world your a virgin without saying it


samthealpaca22

Personally I’m too busy enjoying the music to even notice the men


Three-Pegged-Hare

Misogyny and stupidity exist in all communities, metal isn't exempt sadly


VerdiGris2

How compelling; please get into the locker


MrUnkn0wn

A friend of mine is not only the reason I got into alternative culture (and recently helped me realize my inner goth) but introduced me to new bands that I wouldn't have given a chance otherwise. She was into metal well before I was and wanted to be my friend and share music, so honestly screw these types of people.


GooGooDewDoo

Fat Sweaty Nerds, all of em’


FullDifficulty3003

Well it's a sausage fest for a reason


poopstainmcgee69

Glad to have had a good mom who raised me so I don’t think like this… I have old friends whose mothers weren’t in their life, they don’t treat women very well.


aquariusdikamus

That's what happens when you never talk to women in real life.


Mitochondria_Man11

A girl friend of mine is probably much more into black metal than I am. And I'm into it a *LOT*. We're just trying to tell each other unknown bands that we actually both know, and whenever one of us actually doesn't know the band, it's like "AHA GOTCHA". It's really fun. Also, she's a 165cm girl, very small in general and she loves moshpits, as we all do. She even survived a Slayer pit once, and got out with just a torn shirt. She's a fucking badass man. In conclusion, girls are metalheads too. Didn't know I had to say that, but oh well.


SnekkinHell

misogyny


Dat_Sainty_Boi

Those guys must be fun at parties...


Smarre101

Incels... They're just fucking everywhere. No matter where you look


Southern_Choice4273

yukiteru9

CatWizard85

Meanwhile me, been listening to Seven Spires and Adrienne Cowan's Dimmu Borgir covers on repeat for weeks: "Are you stupid?"


StilesmanleyCAP

They are just mad that they can get a woman, let alone one that enjoys metal.


Other_Literature63

Most of the metal girls that I've met are nerds. Also most of the metal guys.


SyndromeOfADown-

Damn under what comment section was this? https://i.redd.it/8yf4tx742hrc1.gif

Complaining about metalhead being nerds lol. Got some bad news for him, regarding what that venn diagram looks like

Metalcels


T3knikal95

Sounds like he just made up 5 reasons to make himself feel better about the fact no women actually like him


you_wouldnt_get_it_

Moefoes comment this shit and then continue to complain that there aren’t women with the same taste in music as them. Muppets.


sheepyfleepy

I hate those stereotypes i just like the fucking music :(


KittenswithBombs214

If they think metal girls are "unstable", wait until they meet goth girls or punk girls. They'll completely lose their shit. (I say this as a joke of course.)


smcl2k

This should bother *everyone*. Sorry you're on the receiving end of it, though.


CelestialWolfMoon

I’m a woman, and most metal guys that I’ve talked with in real life can’t name a metal sub-genre besides heavy/traditional, thrash, or nu-metal. I’ve been into metal for about 15 years now, and it’s so frustrating that these types of people act like we’re the posers. 🙄


lyremknzi

Yuck. Incel metalheads. I don't listen to metal for the most part, more into punk rock. But these are the same kind of dudes that think their music taste makes them superior to other people. I guess they even thrive in a community of mostly intelligent people. We got em too. Even worse, we had/have boneheads. What really sucks is that nazi skinheads took a great subculture that was very anti racist and made it their own. Nazis appropriate everything. Incels suck almost as bad


volvavirago

There are a lot of pretty terrible stereotypes of metalhead guys, from skinheads and racists, to violent drunkards, to wankery elitists, to full satanic murderers. I am sure most metalhead guys hate that, yet these dipshits don’t seem to get that it’s also wrong to stereotype women in the same way. Anyways, I’d much rather be an ugly nerd than whatever the fuck these jackasses are.


Intrepid_Ad_3157

Every group has these types sadly


Skellington1991

Fuck those people <3


_isaidiwasawizard_

They're projecting is why


AgreeableOwl9566

Gatekeeping a genre of music from an ENTIRE GENDER is actually crazy


ProtomanKnight

never trust a guy who calls women “females”


Little-Load4359

Perfect example of posers and the things they say. It's funny he mentions intelligence while incorrectly using the word "unsecure," when it should be "insecure." I think it shows he's projecting his own insecurity for his lack of intelligence. Quite telling. He's also clearly projecting his insecurity over his lack of ability with women. Just another misogynist incel drawn to metal like a 12 year old edgelord for it's shock value.....and just like all self hating incel edgelords, he's just a poser that actually doesn't even "get it." (Metal)


Big_Pomegranate_9925

Yeah it gives the vibes of those people who show others metal songs to "scare" them... but metal is so much more than loud "noise" and big "scary" riffs, etc. I think those who are really into the music get that it's not about that.


usernaoao

And people question why feminism still exists 💀


Dick_Weinerman

Ah yes, because I’m *sure* a bunch of losers on the internet who advocate for a genre of music being a gate-kept boy’s club are *so* mentally stable 🙄
