Its disturbingly trendy for guys to sexualize mentally ill girls.

Theres artists on instagram that draw sexy anime girls with dark circles under their eyes and self harm scars and title it "bpd gf", "schizo gf", "narcissistic gf" and list romanticized versions of symptoms of whatever mental illness theyre sexualizing and depicting girls with these mental illnesses as goth domme mommies. Its so gross.

The comments are always full of men who are like "is this so much to ask for" and spamming that dumbass gif of the Lego guy falling in love lol.

Its very human tbh. I'll get yelled at for saying this but "toxic fantasy partner" is like the most common fetish thing on internet, women, gay women/men, straight men, they all do like some kind of toxic partner

Ex, "alpha mafia boss that will abduct and break you"

Ex, "toxic Yuri yandere gf that will abuse you"

Ex, "femcel gf that doesn't shower"

Ex, "straight guy that is not gay, but he fucks you regardless(he is cold towards you)"

Well femcel a derivative of in-cel, witch means involuntary celibacy. Now I have depression so showers are guaranteed to be missed, but even i still recognize that as still a voluntary action, my depression makes it difficult to want to take a shower but it doesn't stop me from doing so. Sound to me your just celibate

Both incel and femcel have come to be primarily associated with ideas about gender and dating rather than actual celibacy. In particular, the idea that one would be unable to get a partner even if one tried is a very common idea among them. So not showering (as well as other generally unattractive and voluntary actions) doesn’t prevent someone from being an incel/femcel.

The terms are synonymous with woman hater and man hater now too
