Earlier quoted context omitted.

My uneducated opinion is why try to keep adding MORE people to the planet?

I was downvoted heavily for suggesting the best decision a person can make for the planet/sustainability is to not have kids.

If you ancestors had 10 kids then yes, maybe.

Otherwise 1 kid per parent (on average) is what is sustainable.

As a animal why would I need to goto the effort of pleasing the opposite sex if I get all the gratification for free with porn and without the stresses and hassle, of an expensive marriage and nagging?

Its because you don't, and you sell yourself short if you think you do.

Thus starts the demographic inversion. Hopefully we can fix it before we go the way of Japan.

Your uneducated opinion of tomorrow is you want someone to work for your pension.

If porn is providing all the gratification you need, you should absolutely not. Marriage is not for everybody.

I think this misses the mark though. The main thesis of incels is basically that regardless of all other factors people can be so horribly ugly that no one in the right mind will ever desire them. Most of them don't fall into that bucket and have other issues going on, but objectively...is that idea wrong? I'd like to see the study address something like indian men under 5'4 (a strong incel demographic) and see how many of them don't have sex.

If you're not aware 'incel's are the woman-hating group so vile they were kicked off reddit and one of them committed the van attack in Toronto recently.

What percentage of those who are "involuntarily celibate" do you suppose have substantially the same beliefs or opinions as the vile woman-hating terrorists? Should we suspect only those who publicly identify as such, or would it be more appropriate to initiate a witch hunt to remove them from society root and branch?

Incel is a generic term for involuntarily celibate people. Volcel is for voluntarily celibate people. Both considered weird and unnatural by majority. Don't conflate it with some organized group that reused the name, that would be a pretty big scientific mistake, likely politically motivated.
