Just watched a bit of the Virgin Fest stream and was pleasantly surprised by some of the music (FBI guy has a bit of a Neutral Milk Hotel-vibe) and by the fact that there were a few hot guys in the audience.

Good job Antifa, because if you didn't make a fuss about it, fewer people would know it existed. If anything, to fight the worst, most toxic aspects of the incel subculture, events like Virginfest just might be the antidote we need. You have a bunch of young people, male and female, who otherwise might've been home alone being lonely and bitter on the internet, enjoying music and nature and socializing in person. If you ask me, there should be more events like Virginfest.

Virginfest just sounds like an unofficial/more fun All Tomorrow’s Parties (the only place I’ve ever been where the queue for the toilets was outside the gents).

All 80s indie music was basically incelcore - has Antifa never heard How Soon is Now?

I always found Belle and Sebastian incelly- no violence but dripping with misogyny, songs about loose women with questionable morals, and the sad boys who love them anyway. Did you ever see God Help the Girl? I found the weird objectification of Emily Browning’s character (again the vulnerable, broken girl attracted to the bad boy, while the quiet sensitive boy pines for her) really creepy.

Haven't seen said movie but want to chime my thoughts:

this doesn't in itself incelly make, seeing as how there ARE girls drawn to bad boys in real life and there ARE women out there with very questionable morals who will take advantage of both men and women. Incelly implies there's been no actual experience with this kind of person, just a presumption that "I can't ever get a date because of xyz, I have never been with a girl etc." and any woman not interested is this kind of woman.
