If violent retribution is one of the paths inceldom leads to, it's not terribly surprising if a femcel group goes the same way. What's that saying? "Hurt people hurt people"?
If the only bond a group of people have is due to the pain they're in, it can easily turn toxic. It's a shame so many people turn toward incel/femcel communities instead of toward groups about shared interests or topics. I get wanting to commiserate with others, but when it becomes a circle jerk of sadness, sticking around can make existing issues so much worse.
Problem with that is that there's a very small window in which saving an incel/femcel is easy. Before that window, they're generally still normal but maybe withdrawing. After that window....interacting with them just kinda sucks. You need to have a certain willingness to deal with excessive self-deprecating sadness and basically make life worth living for them.
Incel/femcel communities stew in that toxicity, so it's easy to add your own toxicity to the stew. Normal people don't want to put up with that shit.
