As a woman i was wondering about the root causes of it and if it can be stopped because I have a feeling that some Incels will take out their hate for women on a woman.
That's because the shift between the V sound and the S sound is very awkward. When that kind of shift is awkward, dropping one of the sounds entirely (usually the first one) is common.
Salmon (although there are pockets of people who still pronounce the "l")
Receipt
Schedule (was originally pronounced with a "s-ch" combination, now is "sk" in America and "sh" in the UK)
There's plenty of common English words that have also changed spelling to go along with that pronunciation, though I can't recall any at the moment.
Edit: Thought of one: Donut. Yes, the "old-timey" spelling was "doughnut," and is still found in relatively common use. Long ago that "gh" in there was pronounced like a "phlegmmy 'h'." As that sound fell out of use, it eventually fell completely out of the word "donut."
I think it depends on the person/region you live in. The “l” in salmon was probably originally intended to b pronounced, but linguistic shift has dropped the “l” in some areas.
It’s nuts to me that the incel movement was started by a woman.
I was around back when the Red Pill subreddit was first getting off the ground. It used to be quite sane, a safe space for men. Venting was allowed, but misogyny was not (in a similar way to how you put up with a woman saying “all men are trash” when she’s in the post breakup anger phase). But eventually, the tidal wave of misogynistic men overthrew the sane ones, and it became what it’s known for now.
Why are people speaking of incels as if that’s some kind of club you need to apply for membership? Isn’t it by definition something you’re part of against your own will? That’s like talking about people under 6ft tall as some sort of secret society plotting the takeover of the world.
Being incel isn’t just about not getting laid…the important part is blaming everyone else for it. The term then gets co-opted as the people who blame everyone else for not getting laid.
It really has nothing to do with whether or not they can have sex. That’s just a pretense for really fucked up ideas about sex, relationships, and women as a whole.
And Wiccanism (literally meaning wicked ones) the rape cult has roots in Hapsburg Germany cults from prior to WW2, I guess they just let anyone in here huh?
