For those who didn’t read the article no, he wasn’t charged for being a misogynist incel. He was charged for plotting a mass murder.
What’s up with the fucking title of this post then?
Genco wrote in his manifesto that his goal was, “the death of what I have been deprived of most, but also cherished and fantasize at the opportunity of having but has been neglected of; Women. I will slaughter out of hatred, jealousy, and revenge.”
Because he is misogynist incel, but that is not a crime. Just like being racist is not a crime, but planing a race based murder spree is. The title is giving context to his motivation for planning a crime instead of simply listening “man accused of planning murder and hate crime”.
Yeah why not title it to be “misogynist incel commits mass murder gets arrested”? Instead of accidentally getting people to think he go arrested for being a misogynistic incel.
Yeah why not title it to be “misogynist incel commits mass murder gets arrested”
That’s not the title of the article because he was arrested before he could carry out his plot. You should take a minute or two to actually read the article because that’s a basic detail you don’t seem to be aware of.
The headline is misleading. It implies that he’s charged for being a misogynist incel.
No it doesn’t. It implies that an incel got charged for hate crimes.
Exactly. It really bums me out to realize just how poor reading comprehension skills are on Lemmy - and by extension- the general public.
Things would be a lot easier if people actually read articles before they started whining about the headline.
9 times out of 10 when someone’s in the comment section complaining about “misleading” headlines what they’re actually upset about is the fact that the headline doesn’t contain the entire fucking article.
Try some critical thinking. Not even that critical.
It’s the title of the article.
For those who didn’t understand the article, yes, he was charged with a hate crime for the misogyny part of the plot.
Man, even as fucked up as we teens were in the 80s, we didn’t have incels. Anyone talking like that would have been shunned, at the least. They simply wouldn’t have a voice, let alone echo chambers to back them up.
That’s a good perspective to remember and shows the impact of social media. It concentrates good and bad alike.
We absolutey had incels. They were just as angry, but they included society in general for their problems and trash talked women, they just didn’t have the focused echo chambers we have today that let them run the mental gymnastics that placed so much blame on women. They didn’t have the incel label to wrap around themselves. They more or less became shut-ins living at home getting drunk and/or stoned, so yeah, they absolutely were shunned.
If you take a few minutes and actually think about your high school and the few years following I bet you’ll remember a few people that fit the bill.
For some reason killing a bunch of people because incel rage hadn’t entered the zeitgeist; even though workplace shootings did happen they weren’t remotely on the scale of mass shootings we have today.

How you gonna have a bomb ass name like Tres Genco and not get laid?
Always wondered WTF about Americans just wanting to make an excuse to do a massive shotting of any bullshit…
Good that punk got out of the streets, but really? Having so much reasons to do a massive shotting and some people planning to do it cos women rejected them? LMAO.
I know you can buy guns but are not they supposed to be for self-protect?
Can’t imagine living in a constant fear of being caught in a massive shotting.
You keep saying mass-shot and it makes me think you’re talking about using buckshot or birdshot in a shotgun.
Can’t imagine living in a constant fear of being caught in a mass-shot.
We don’t though. If you live near one, you might be a bit spooked for a few weeks or months, but eventually, it goes away and you stop thinking about it.
Fixed mate thx for the feedback I’m not from the US, anyway I understand y’all just get used to it.
It’s like someone from Germany hearing there was a shooting in Portugal. That’s terrible, but not really that close to me, not in my state. You just deal with it and go on. Overall the risk of being in a car accident fatality is way higher than the risk of being shot, and there are more cars on the road than ever.
That title is just so bad. he was ploting to murder a bunch of women, that’s why he is being sent to prison, not his shitty but protected views.

Do you understand what a hate crime is? What do you think is relevant to someone being charged with a federal hate crime? Please be specific.
A criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.
Not the first, maybe the first to get sentenced before doing something stupid.
See:
Federal. The Atlanta Spa shooter was charged under Georgia’s hate crime law. I can assure you, the SPLC knows what they’re talking about. Studying and reporting on hate crimes/groups is their whole “thing.”
He wasn’t sentenced under hate crime laws though. He plead guilty to simple murder charges.
N.B. it might still happen in Fulton.
Yeah, I thought the same thing but my brain skipped the “federal” part on first read of the title.
Soon he won’t be an incel. Lol
Rape isn’t funny.

Everything can be funny if you have a sense of humour.
Yeah you got me, I’ve got no sense of humor because I didn’t like your hackneyed prison rape joke.
Prison rape is horrible. (Disclaimer: I’m totally not a feminist) But this shitbag planned to massacre a bunch of women so IDGAF what happens to him in prison.
You’re so sensitive towards an incel who had plans to murder women.
Or maybe they believe that rape shouldn’t be a normalized part of the judicial system?
Whether you want to believe it or not, rape in jail is already normalized. Grow up.
It’s fucked up to be okay with rape. Why would you normalize it like that?
I agree with you, and I’m waiting for your finely crafted joke.
I thought the joke was obvious.
So…what is the joke? There’s still no joke.
Soon, he will no longer be celibate.
If you don’t understand the joke, you won’t understand the explanation.
There is no joke to explain though. If you’re so bold to make the joke, you could at least explain it.
He would be in a cell tho.
Nice one!
Gyat damn gotem
I donate all the sensitivity and offense I might have about your post to the sensitivity and offense that is needed to be summoned in response to that ghoul of a human being who plotted to murder a ton of women. Multiplied by all the downvotes. Wanna be mad? Throw that mad at him. Thumbs up to the FBI for catching his ass.
Exactly. Rape isn’t funny when you’re talking about taking someone’s innocence because of the unbearable trauma it inflicts on the victim, but fuck this guy. He literally had plans to slaughter multiple woman for just being woman and because they wouldn’t fuck him. Now he’s going to get fucked, but not in the manner he wanted.
I can’t believe how many people are so sensitive about this but I’m loving the downvotes. Who the fuck cares what happens to this piece of shit? Clearly, lots of Lemmings who likely never experienced extreme trauma nor do they know someone who did. If you take away someone life and/or innocence, you deserve the worst life has to offer.
