On Thursday Tres Genco was sentenced to six years and eight months in prison followed by five years on post-prison supervision for his 2020 plot to “slaughter” women at an Ohio university.
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.
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.
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?

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.

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.
