Gentlemen,

I'm a lurker here mostly, but I have noticed the concern rising after the recent ban of the incel subreddit.

The most important thing to remember is that, as another poster mentioned today, these people's opinions have no bearing on your life and choices. The entire purpose of MGTOW is to ignore the opinions of others and society in general and live your life as you wish to live it.

So, the most important thing to remember here is:

DON'T ENGAGE

*Don't respond to their comments. *Don't write posts telling them off. *Don't try to explain yourself to them.

Just ignore them. No comments on their posts. No down votes. Let the mods delete their posts and comments if they so choose.

This isn't letting them win, it's showing them that they do not matter and that they have no power.

The second that you engage them in any way, you give their position a platform, and you enter their frame. Theirs is the world of fighting, arguing, and shaming. When you acknowledge their existence, you make them real. You give polarity to them. Something to fight. Something to argue with. Something to shame.

Don't give them what they want. Deny them a platform. Deny them an argument. Deny them your attention. Let them scream into the dark until they realize you aren't engaging, then let them go away.

It's the hardest thing to do, but its the only thing to do. Be wise. Don't fight them, just GYOW.
