    A lot of inceldom has adopted a regressive conservative worldview which tends to blame the emancipation of marginalized groups for their loss in "value in the sexual market place" (a point elaborated on very well in this video by Contrapoints) but as long as the discussion of things like toxic masculinity remain thorny we'll probably not get to a place where we can properly de-program these kinds of damaging perceptions. Especially not when even the kinds of popular people who can offer some sense of help and comfort covertly somewhat agree with these views.
