Title says it all, when the somali incel epidemic became hyper prominent during the lockdown back in 2020, as a community we should've doxed, reported and stamped out their existence. People instead treated them like a joke.
Now that they've been around for so long and gained such prominence, they've permanently engrained their subculture onto the fabric of all of our discussions online, and with that how we're perceived as a community. Real life is still pretty chill of course but the online world is heavily used and will slowly have their affect too. Their rhetoric seeps into all discussions Somali related as they are hyper aware of how to spread themselves everywhere.
Now that their rhetoric is deeply engrained into our visible subculture there's only one way to deal with them (since you idiots foolishly let them gain prominence in the first place) and that's to ignore them completely. However, somali's:
- insular nature
- need to constantly feel like anything involving one of us actually involves all of us
- Addiction to attention and a constant need to be seen
means that you guys will forever keep them in prominent conversation. I could truly write a PHD essay on the rise of this culture and their ability to spread their influence beyond reason or logic, but I'm tired.
DO NOT BRING ANYTHING INVOLVING THAT SUBCULTURE UP, IGNORE THEM AT ALL COSTS, DO NOT PROVIDE THEM WITH PLATFORMS TO GROW
^do that and the issue will solve itself, even if you believe i'm exaggerating the issues and being a whiny b!tch, just IGNORE THEM
for this same reason, this will be my last post ever about them
