Its hilarious to me how this ai chatbot is doing the work of healthily socializing these dudes.
Like, i grew up in a… er- lets just say i grew up in an environment to say the least. I was hateful and bigotted towards lots of groups bc i was sad, downtrodden, and felt undervalued. Of all things to make me actually turn it around, the thing that really did it, was being called a white supremacist to my face by one of the few kind people i got on with. The kicker was, there was 2 ppl that said it. One was the one i preffered talking to, the other i put down as a suburban redneck.
My god did that sting. I didnt look em in the eye the rest of the school year. Really got me thinking, how can these two see this in me? How could the redneck be able to hold this over me? I didnt even say anything that bad. (spoiler, i did)
But long story short, that def did the trick. Or kicked it off, anyway. Thats whats supposed to happen to extremist opinions. They get brought up in public, and u get shamed and put down, not for being you, but exclusively that shitty opinion, bc that opinion has no place in the world.
I guess the chatbot provides that. Weirdly uplifting. If incels are deradicalized by a sexbot, tho, itll be weird to think that in the end what saved them, was the very horniness that got them radicalized in the first place.
Glad to hear you had some good mates to call out the BS. Having grown up in what many people would call the best possible environment available, including myself, I will tell you that calling that shit out is drilled into us from an early age, and most of us still have a very difficult time telling someone else they are being an asshole. I’m guilty of it. There have been many times in my adult life that I should have said something, and didn’t. There have been many others, but fewer, where I have.
TLDR is incels on 4chan created a sext bot but even the bot is better than them and is putting good ideas into their head .

For all the times u said anything, thanks. We all get burned out sometimes, but thanks for not letting it be all the time.
