I am a 4chan incel and I can explain

When you don't have access to women, you lose perspective on what a real one looks/feels like, and your mind starts to collapse your unconscious instinct for what a real woman feels like into your accumulated set of associations re: how women are presented in media and on the internet

Most men who get laid and associate with women regularly can look at a woman in an instagram photo and see "past" it, see and almost feel, even taste and smell, what she is probably like in real life. When a man like that sees OP girl, he sees a short, kind of boyish, average in the face girl, he knows how waifish and brittle she probably feels. He knows that up close and in the high resolution of real life face to face contact, all of her weird facial articulations and imperfections come out, and even though he doesn't know what these are, he's experienced this picture-to-real-life transition enough that he can unconsciously guess at how disappointing she is. If you want some idea of how this works and you are an incel, think of the last time you were incredibly attracted to a girl's character in a movie, think of how your dick picked up on all the little things about her body and face that you like, like a certain pudginess or pertness or whatever. Then think about how you finally looked up real pics of the actress who plays her, and she was "off" by comparison, all of that glow or baby fat (or whatever it is you liked) was gone and suddenly she's just an average weird looking mediocre girl, probably too thin or something. And you realize, movies have a lot of control how an actor is presented, because of editing, camera filtering, lighting etc. It's the same difference between a girl's instagram self-presentation and her real life self, face to face. Often your will be like, damn bitch you look like shit compared to your instagram! It's a palpable gestalt shift.

The incel has no access to this gestalt shift in order to generalize it and expect it instinctively. For him there is no real woman in contrast to the presented woman, except insofar as the total set of online representations of a woman IS the "real thing." So an incel literally thinks/feels of the woman he likes as this loose agglomeration of heavily filtered, edited, cropped, lighting and contrast adjusted, made up and smoothed over false images of the woman in question. All the intangible human things that make a woman mundane to offset her sexy or graceful aspects are missing, because she edits those out, you can no longer see the little ugly thing her chin does when she's pensive that actually gives her character and so forth. The incel thinks that if he fucked his favorite actress, he would be fucking her character, within the movie he saw her in where her ass looked really nice in a way it never looks in real life.

When incels have e-waifus this is what's happening.

I've mostly given up on posting but still compulsively browse. /lit/ is shit, but was always shit, it's just that when you first enter it's all new and even the lowestbrow meming seems appealing — whoa, jokes about Plato, Wittgenstein! Who's David Foster Wallace? This place is so cool! — but then you slowly come to realize that the vast majority of the board is an endless repetition of trivial things:
>If the reader cannot help thinking, with me, that history is merely the constant recurrence of similar things, just as in a kaleidoscope the same bits of glass are represented, but in different combinations, he will not be able to share all this lively interest...

Why are people calling her ugly? She is an 11/10.

[Anonymous No.14510111]

I have notified her about this thread.

[Anonymous No.14510287]

She's definitely a waifu. She's so bubbly and happy that it no longer matters what she looks like, who wouldn't want her around all the time being cute and funny.
