Whenever I see someone taking down these absolute bottom of the barrel incel dork on social media, it just feels like shoo-ing a squirrel off the bird feeder. Just not even worth taking action

IMO, it's always worth it because you dont know who is reading this: I imagine some young or teenage girls might see this-- imagine how they feel when they read the disparaging comments from the incels. Pretty dejected, I'd think. Then imagine how they feel when they read the model/engineer's reply. It also shows boys what shite behaviour is.

It's never a waste to shut the misogynists down-- it's like investing in your future.

I'm with you. We don't argue this stuff to change the original person's mind, we argue it so that other people reading, who might have tendencies to feel that way, or who are the victim of it, get an opposing point of view.

Reading comments provide so much perspective. They've helped me plenty! Thank you to anyone who tries. <3

In this case the smackdown has gotten quite a lot of exposure. I only know about her because I've seen this same screenshot before.

Akin to how I feel when I see suggested videos on YouTube which rebut flat-earthers.
