Having spent a lot of time in the autistic community, I STRONGLY disagree with that assumption. That kind of resentment is not nearly as common in that community as it is in the NT community, at least in my personal experience. Lack of empathy and classical narcissism are not hallmarks of ASD.

I'm not saying they are hallmarks of the community, remember we are dealing with the fringes. Also I don't see any real evidence that narcissism is at work in the incel community.
As has been mentioned earlier, many of those guys recognize they are "2s" they don't all think they are GigaChads (or whatever the current term is) they are confused as to why they can't connect.
Struggles with cognitive empathy are consistent with people on the spectrum.
Again, we are only talking about small subsets of the population.

Don’t feed the trolls, hun. Just sayin’.

Really breaks your heart you couldn't derail this conversation or get the mods to shut it down for you, doesn't it.

This whitewashing incels as poor put-upon and misunderstood guys who deserve our pity is pretty much gaslighting. I’ve had these scum go after me in X multiple times; and seen them do the same to my connections. They need psychiatric treatment, not sympathy.

This sent me to Google to look up gaslighting. I thought I knew what it meant. It sounds to me like you just have a disagreement with @Bramblethorn.

Saying it that way isn't dramatic enough.

Your confusion is understandable. After all 'gaslighting' is just a shiboleth...
