    it would be interesting to know how many femcels are on dating apps, but I suspect most of them don’t leave their bedroom (let alone go on dates, with actual humans, in the flesh)

        before the 2020s the online femcel communities I interacted with were glorifying young women who killed men with knives, they had a whole aesthetic based on the look of various young women murders - it’s not all gay cats and rainbows 😅

        example of one of the most popular posts there:

        here’s another:

          Yeah, I really liked this one, so I tried looking up some of the femcel communities on reddit. That one made me a bit uncomfortable tbh. I don’t belong there (man, not particularly fem), so that makes sense, but I also really hope that I never have to meet anyone with that kind of mindset.

          ok. damn.

          this one has such cozy vibes I’m really scared they’ll make a rule like womenstuff. i asked them to ban me, don’t want to accidentally comment on their stuff and invade their space. that’s rude.

          I’m cis, but I’ll take tittacs to stay here

            This isn’t about gender. It’s about femininity and being degenerate in silly ways. A way to blow off steam and find value in ourselves even when we aren’t able to live up to other’s standards.

            If what gets posted here is your jam, then you might be a femcel of some variety. And you’re welcome.

                  although it would be funny if this group transes me so I can get the gif from Freaks (1932) "one of us, one of us" (one of the best movies ever made, if you haven't seen it watch it asap, it's in the public domain, then look at the promotional materials and reviews and get angry.)

                    eh, unfortunately if you’re trans it’s genetic - but the good news, if you’re trans, is that transitioning is actually helpful 😅

                    let me know if you have any questions, you can also hit me up on matrix if that’s preferred

                    also, sad the original unabridged Freaks copy was lost, only an abridged version remains 😭

      You can be on dating apps and not get dates. Either because you’re uggy, your standards are too high, or just the fact that dating apps are intentionally bad.

        yes, though willingness to leave your room to go on a date seems like an obvious precondition to getting on a dating app, I still think it’s unlikely most femcels are on dating apps 😄
