Fake Rolex Explorer and a shitty clone two-tone pistol. That’s the bodega owner’s special.

Heh. I love the standard joke too. In my case I was an adult visiting the equivalent of a “dude ranch” during Stampede in Calgary. Maybe camp was the wrong term, as people probably envision Wet Hot American Summer style camp for kids.

People have been having sex in the backs of taxis and Ubers for decades. That’s with another human in there. I suspect more people are willing to do stuff in a car when they feel like they are alone (they are being recorded on video). Especially inebriated people who are headed somewhere to have sex anyway.

I don’t know what to tell you. You can argue taxonomy all you want and it won’t change how people use the term. Just look at the lists people are posting in this thread. None of them are science fiction to me, they are fantasy, political satire, and speculative fiction.

This also presumes that aspects of the root cause are changeable. I grew up with a guy who became an incel in the pure sense, not political sense.

The poor guy was hit with the ugly stick very badly, and then had an accident that left him partially disabled.

When puberty hit and everyone became horny assholes, he had a double whammy of being a horny asshole too, but getting ignored (at best) or out-right derision from the teen girls he expressed interest in. He was also self-aware enough to both know that he was a hypocrite because he only wanted to date an attractive woman, and that he understood that goes both ways (societally and biologically) so he went into a cycle of vocal self-loathing.

You can guess the rest. Those behaviors compounded and altered his personality to the point he was no longer the happy go lucky ugly ass dude and was now the guy who was just as ugly on the inside as the outside and no one wanted to be around that negativity.

I have no idea what happened to him after college as I never went back to my HS town after my parents moved away from it. I would like to think he is doing better with age and therapy, but I doubt it.
