Before going my own way, I associated myself with FA people (similar to incels but depressed and coping rather than bitter and angry, though there is some bleedover between the two communities).
I was on the /r/ForeverAlone Discord last night, which I had never used before even though I had joined months ago, and was discussing MGTOW and how it helped me get out of the FA mentality, making me a happier person. They accused me of "hating women" and during the discussion I was having, I got banned from the Discord.
I sent a message over Reddit to the mods stating I was only trying to be helpful and asking why I was banned. They responded with a message that MGTOW was "just as bad as incels" and then subsequently banned me from the Reddit group and blocked me from contacting mods for 28 days, even though I had not posted in the Reddit group in over 10 years.
I was shocked that this happened, especially in a mental health themed subreddit. They didn't even try and tell me why I was wrong, they just blocked all contact with me for no reason. And most of those people in that group are shy and quiet "nice guys" who don't seem like they would do something like this. It's no wonder these people are forever alone if they treat people this way for trying to be helpful.
Before I discovered MGTOW, I was very unhappy, constantly swiping on every single mother in the area and upset when the few who swiped back turned me down for all kinds of reasons including my height and my low wage job. MGTOW helped me realize that I should focus on improving myself, and MGTOW YouTube channels showed me the type of women I was actually dealing with, whom I of course want nothing to do with. This is the endless cycle of depression that FAs and incels face, and I'm happy to be free of it. I just hope more FAs and incels can discover MGTOW too.
