Is "The Face of Seung Hui Cho" the best ever writing about incels?

https://www.jstor.org/stable/44363543

> So: Seung-Hui Cho's face. A perfectly unremarkable Korean face - beady-eyed, brown-toned, a small plump-lipped mouth, eyebrows high off his eyelids, with crooked glasses perched on his nose. It's not an ugly face, exactly; it's not a badly made face. It's just a face that has nothing to do with the desires of women in this country. It's a face belonging to a person who, if he were e-mailing you, or sending you instant messages, and you were a normal, happy, healthy American girl at an upper second-tier American university - and that's what Cho was doing in the fall of 2005, e-mailing and writing instant messages to girls - you would consider reporting to campus security. Which is what they did, the girls who were contacted by Cho. [...] Seung-Hui Cho's is the kind of face for which the appropriate response to an expression of longing or need involves armed guards.

What's the point of posting a thread if you're not going to link the paper you'd like to talk about?

>>15619684
Come on OP, this has the potential to be a good thread. Why don't you come back and post a link to the article?

It was linked. Oh, you don't have a JSTOR account? That's your own fault.

Alright.
I read the entire thing, and some of it resonated with me. I don't like how the author panders to the views of the people who have excluded him. It's kind of sad and pathetic, not to mention divorced from reality, but I suspect that he would not have been able to publish this piece if he had done otherwise. There is only so much truth that one can tell without incurring penalties. That being said, I wish someone would come out and say that the measure of a man is not what women think of him, but what he contributes to this world.
Also, he wrote that "losers" will never band together and fight to escape their condition. I wonder about that. It seems that "incels" are starting to do just that, albeit where no one can see them.

I have access to it through my institution. I'm interested in expanding the discussion to include people who don't have such means.

You don't know what scihub is? You can download papers for free there, it doesn't work with all of them but it works with a good amount of them.

[Anonymous No.15621060]

>>15621045
I know what it is. I used the jstor link by OP and was able to download it there, without going through scihub. I am surprised that others can't do it.

First thing I thought reading this was "the author of this essay relates because he too has that face". Here is the face of the author for anyone wondering.

The author says so himself.

Just got the e-book.
>You see a face that looks like yours. You know that there’s an existential knowledge you have in common with that face. Both of you know what it’s like to have a cultural code superimposed atop your face, and if it’s a code that abashes, nullifies, and unmans you, then you confront every visible reflection of that code with a feeling of mingled curiosity and wariness.
