I'm dumb and don't want to google incel stuff, can someone explain the wasp thing?

[–] pingveno@kbin.social 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

WASP = White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. It's a reach, but it's funny so I'll give it to them.

WASP - White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Think nuclear family, house in the suburbs, white picket fence, etc. You can imagine incel culture as an expression of WASP culture in decay.
