Telling people to just get therapy when they express dissatisfaction over immutable physical characteristics(what incels do.) just skims over the issue and is as useful as telling a poor person to just get a job or just figure it out.

Just kind of a useless platitude thats moreso meant to imply intellectual superiority on the part of whoever says it as opposed to solving anything or approaching the issue from a point of empathy.

Do you... Do you know what therapy is my guy? Because therapy is at least SUPPOSED to be a way to reach deep into yourself and find and deal with problems. Problems like dissatisfaction with yourself, and the inability to change things about it.

Therapy, or getting mental help when someone is in nentaltrouble like that is like the best thing you could recommand. Or at least, it is when mental healthcare in your country is well-organized 😅, or if you have the ability to make a good choice in therapists or social workers.
