Am I an incel if I find Shadowheart more attractive than my girlfriend?

[Colonel Death]

Asking for a friend

[A Sociopath]

Is your girlfriend single?

[Yojo0o]

You're an incel if you breathe a word of this to her or anybody who might tell her, because this is the sort of thing I'd strongly recommend keeping to yourself. Hope she's not aware of your Steam account.

Serious answer: Finding other people more attractive than your partner isn't abnormal, but don't be callous with how you use that information.

incel means involuntary celibate.

[SnarkOne]

No, but your girlfriend is

[Clovis Sangrail]

I would say you're an incel if your girlfriend does not know she's your girlfriend, or if she's imaginary.

Damn, I was afraid of this. My friend will be crushed.

That's the literal definition, sure. I don't think it would be unreasonable to define a guy telling his girlfriend that he wishes she looked more like his video game waifu as an incel, though. Would you? "Incel" has grown to mean more than its literal definition.

If he wasn't an incel before he told his girlfriend he wished she looked more like Shadowheart, he will certainly be involuntarily celibate after he tells her that.

TL:DR: NO

If he had a girlfriend he isn't an incel, due to the fact he has a girlfriend, incels hate women for not liking them therefore if he likes and is liked by his girlfriend then he would not be accepted by the incel community due to this. Unless she is from the Philippians or Malaysia which they perceive to be easy to catch due to unfamiliarity with white men alone and with the promise of the white man getting her out of her country if he believes she loves him.

I mean... I can't tell you about how the latter part of that might be taken .... but.... I personally would find this offensive coming from the communities mentioned. This take feels like projection rather than being based in fact.

Well it would be offensive to them as well because it's a take coming from a "foid".

Also it definitely isn't based in fact... because it's their opinions and while incels do seem united they really aren't as much as you would think except for the hating women & chads that one is pretty rock solid, all other beliefs tend to be up to the incel. Of course i don't believe you should take my word at face value, I do browse the "Incels(dot)is" as recreation occasionally and if you want it straight from the source then... well have fun.

The thread is ridiculous and unless there was some true crisis of conscience then not sure what the point is. Perhaps you'd find an answer in the following:

As was stated having a girlfriend removes you from the black pill (incel) community. You'd be considered far more red pill (alpha/sigma) particularly if you told her this directly. You definitely would not be blue pill (beta or simp) because they would consider that behavior disrespectful to the girlfriend.

Don't shoot the messenger, that's just how those communities are defined.

Hmm i have not seem either of those terms used for a situation like this whenever someone posted on the forum about getting a woman, they were banned, or had numerous people call them a "fakecel" then banned

those terms you use make no sense in how i have seen them used "blackpill" isn't exclusively incel as there are blackpilled, redpilled and bluepilled incels

Blackpill is Redpill (sort of) but alot worse it's for someone who has no hope and they believe the ultimate truth is they were born the way that they were and believe nothing can be changed they shall live and die a incel.

Redpill is incel who believes the truth that they are ugly and are unlikely to get a girlfriend because women only wants the chads

Bluepill is a incel basically in denial who thinks there is a chance

Whitepill which i sort of adore because those are the best types of posts its basically just acceptance and always make me laugh

And has also grown to be another example of comically overused language to the point where it has become borderline meaningless imo.

Seriously, whenever I see this word thrown around anywhere it always seems like it's just being used as a catch all insult.

I mean I don't know if they will ban the thread creator but the terms used make perfect sense as each of them isn't hard set. Black pill for instance can still describe most incells it's simply divided along the lines of how they see their lot in life. They can move from one thing to another however as can any of the other pills depending on what they are willing to do.

You incorrectly describe the blue pill as they aren't necessarily in denial because often enough they still accomplish their objective using tactics that are more about being agreeable.

Redpill is most definitely not incel, in fact it's the opposite almost to the point of being obnoxious. They represent the smallest portion of the population with all of the options and since they know this they use it to their advantage to the point of being able to be very direct sometimes even insultingly so and still get what they want more so than the average person. Being 'redpilled' is falling into the ideology that results in what they consider as 'high value' and working to achieve that.

Whitepill is hardly excepted as a 'thing' by anyone.

So by these yeah the OP would fall into red pill (again the situation not necessarily as a person) being that they are admitting that something is more attractive than their significant partner which is something a lot of people wouldn't say and they would particularly be seen as red if they told her this directly.

But the absurdity with the entire post is that one isn't considered an incel based on thoughts like this alone nor would anyone be placed into any of the 'pill' categories either just by one characteristic.

Any person can follow any of the 'ideologies' those things are associated with but that won't necessarily make them successful.
