The Other Mister Rodgers: Dipping our Toes in the Incel Swamp

from 5 Star Tossers · host 5 Star Tossers

Hello faithful listener! This Tossers episode tries to air-out the particularly pungent elements in the bad-air Ressentiment of 'Inceldom.' The incel, in our approach, may indicate the site of real pain and therefore allow insight for the very real crisis of heterosexual masculinity, its burning need of transvaluing behaviors that society can no longer abide.  Certainly not for the faint of heart, or the trigger-happy. Now just pop a red pill and listenWe talk about the fantasy of authentic, non-supplemental sex, and how the incel's concentric spirals -- whether psychotic or melancholic (we couldn't decide) -- may be a signal-flare of a lack that bedevils masculinity and intra-masculine networks or discourses. Why is it so important for incels to legalize rape? Why do they never go on raping-sprees? (Yes, we hold that misogyny is too broad of a term to understand the problem here; the Nietzschean nostril aims to do justice to the variety of toxicities therein). Is it because powerful men still gatekeep the "Stacys" of the western world?Our Mister "Rodgers" (the 's' was added so pervasively in the recording, I just decided to rename him) starts by seeking the validation of men, with women being used (resentfully) as the tool of this validation. Why was he not enough for them? (The bro-code takes a sinister turn here..) With Rodgres we also (re-)discover that the Capitalist - specifically American - ideology has lied, that the money he had was not enough. Capitalism embodies, in order to consume,  all other value-giving discourses, so that  at the end we are left with the nihilism of death, of the undisputable fact, the psychosis of absolute certainty (Eugenics plays an exorbitant role there). What else is left when all of us are exploitable whores?Main Stars in this one are: Il vaut mieux Lyotard que jamais; Pervs R' Us; and some What Would Jesus Do.
