Oh man this is gonna twist so many incel knives.
Imagine having a crush on some girl, making a move, feeling like it might've gone ok, and then you see her and that dude you hate are in the same location, at his place, at 330 am.
Incel violence isn't really the epidemic you're making it sound to be. There have even been papers written about the lack of it.
Where did I say incels are violent, exactly?
I said this will hurt their feelings more than they're already hurt. I didn't say they would be violent in response to that.
Fair enough. "This is gonna twist so many incel knives" just made it sound like that's what you were refering to.

Literally every dictionary recognizes the idiom.

What you said was pretty clear to me at least. I have that user tagged as a misogynist so it's not unusual that they'd go out of their way to defend incels for no reason.
For what it's worth, it's unlikely that the incel in question would have the location of both those people in the first place. Generally, location sharing is done among friend groups and not entire peer groups, so it's unlikely the crush and the person they were seeing would have both shared their location with this other person unless they were all close, which is not the case in my experience.
Why do you need to be such a mean jerk about it? I’m familiar with the saying - I just misunderstood you at first, and I already acknowledged my mistake. What more do you want?
