    “JD Vance is a misogynist”

    Brief and accurate. Less confusing. Didn’t need to make up anything untrue or stretch any definitions to something they aren’t.

      incel is more poetic and gives more a sense of scale. ‘misogynist’ without elaboration feels smaller, less accurate.

      its a compression issue, dear. sorry.

        Ugh yeah I don’t agree that defying definitions of words makes something “poetic”. The fact is that this entire thread indicates the issue, and the upvotes I got indicate I’m not alone

          I agree, to me “he’s an incel” is weak because to the not-terminally-online vast majority of people it’s easily proven false.

          He’s married and has kids, he’s not any more “involuntarily celibate” than Trump is.
