The online incel community has taken a break from blaming women for their ongoing failures in life to issue a collective tantrum over Netflix’s new drama Adolescence, which dares—dares, mind you—to portray incel culture as the toxic, rage-filled echo chamber it so demonstrably is.

I'm inclined to think that these kinds of thought distortions are a product of the hyper commercialization and hyper commodification of our lives. People don't meet other people unmediated by consumption or a screen, so the ideas of what it means to connect are distorted.

Careful, Archarnian. That sounds like anti-capitalist talk.
