I am a well educated person who uses these forums and many others with regularity and I have many opinions on tech after working in both marketing and the tech sector for a long time.

That out of the way, I will simply skip over any comment that says "normies" unironically. Especially over and over.

This isn't fucking 4chan, communicate like a human like the rest of us. You don't get out of being one of us. I don't even know your take because it's so distracting and immature and condescending.

This guy gets it.
Incel lingo is fundamentally disgusting in so many ways.

What does the word "normie", which is a derivative of "normal", have to do with incels, who are a subculture of unlikable people calling themselves "involuntarily celibate" (which can't be true if there are at least two incels near each other)?

It doesn't matter where it came from, if you're steeped in this kind of language it's a massive signpost that you've handicapped your own intellectual abilities in a profound way. Healthy, normal people with regulated feelings and stable perspectives grounded in reality do not frequent the communities that use this kind of language.

It's a red flag that will always make the outside world laugh and reject what you have to say, and if your instinct is to retreat back into the places that use this language, you are going to absolutely SUFFER in life, this is a warning coming from a place of compassion, you HAVE to believe me.

I use all kinds of language when it fits my meaning.

I don't think anything of what you said makes sense in this situation.

Do you honestly think your choice of words in this post led to you being heard and understood? Or do you think that everyone is just being mean bullies? THiiiiiiink hard about this one.
