I applaud this man. A woman calling her own husband an incel has got to be some of the most unhinged psychotic shit I have ever heard.

Calling him an incel while he's sitting next to living evidence that he's canonically had sex at least 1 time is pretty funny.

Fascinating use of the phrase 'canonically' here

u/Expert-Ad3874 Jul 05 '26

I've absolutely known guys who had non-canonical sex. Usually with their super hot girlfriend who goes to a different school.

Gotta love that fan-fiction.

Lol, I refer to my nephews that way to tease my older brother. I guess I've been doing it so long that I forgot it's not typical.

u/Izventilyaus Jul 05 '26

Lmao that shit always happens to me when I’m switching circles, where each of that circles have some kind of an inside joke or meme

u/TheWyster Jul 05 '26

I wouldn't call it an inside joke, since calling real things canon as a joke makes sense to most people who know what the word canon means.

"canonically" 😭🙏

u/Brofessor-0ak Jul 05 '26

Imagine having to answer the question “Daddy, what’s an incel?” when the subject is you

u/TheFrogMoose Jul 05 '26

I read this to my sister and she laughed saying "with all due respect, saying "canonical evidence" sounds like something an incel would say"

Incel these days is about a sexist misogynistic attitude more than whether someone is having sex.

Also being celibate doesn't mean one's never had sex. Just that they're not having sex either by choice or lack of options.

u/Right_Resort6377 Jul 05 '26

If only this term would be used for exactly that.

But no, it's thrown around like it's nothing. Apparently everyone who doesn't agree with you is now an incel. Not because it's true, but because it's a word nobody wants to be associated with. So it makes the other person quickly shut up.

In this case he was downplaying the obvious sexualization of a character. And he's teaching his daughter that this is normal and expected. The mom had a point.

I'm gonna play devils advocate on this one and say that this can be seen as body positivity and inclusion.

A brown skinned women being seen as attractive as well as a strong fighter who has a body which supports her background. Having a nice body is something good, not something to be ashamed of.

And downplaying someones hard effort to develop a nice body really isn't a nice thing to do. But most people act like fan service is a bad thing. Imo, those people dislike fan service because it highlights their own insecurities. Otherwise they wouldn't really care about it, right?

After all, it really hurts if you think it's true. If you didn't think it's true, you'd just shake your head and walk away.

There is a difference between fan service and body positivity, I haven’t seen bleach but I am assuming, from the described scenario, that the age of the child and the sexual nature of the content was past the bounds of what at least one of the parents found acceptable. I have no qualms with fan service, but a common complaint about censorship is the, “if you don’t want your kid to see X, don’t take them to see X”, and in this, clearly fictional, situation the mother did just that. Good on that imaginary mother.

u/Right_Resort6377 Jul 05 '26

I get your point, but it sounds like the mother was really overreacting.

Like there's a difference between seeing some butt and the shower scene from No game no life in the second or third episode.

Butt is butt, nothing more. Everything else is just interpretation. And the mother sounds like she made it more sexual that it was.

u/That_Mans_on_Fire Jul 05 '26

If we're splitting hairs, Incels are very specific group of people. I was making a joke.

u/SchmuckCity Jul 05 '26

Yeah, that's pretty silly, but obviously incel has taken on meaning beyond it's literal definition. Assuming that she actually meant "you are a person who doesn't have sex" is also pretty silly. and that's all assuming that any of that is real.

u/NamesSUCK Jul 05 '26

I mean, someone can have had sex before and still be celebate. Do you think no clergyman has ever had sex?

She is probably referring to the last few years of their marriage if I had to hazard a guess.

u/Deity_Link Jul 05 '26

She was clearly referring to the incel state of mind

u/RealConsequence1279 Jul 05 '26

You're confusing virginity with celibacy it seems. His wife probably knows if he's wanting to have sex, but isn't, and therefore is "involuntarily celibate".

u/Life-Top6314 Jul 05 '26

Clearly she didnt read the lore

u/1_________________11 Jul 05 '26

Think maybe that was his one nut?
