The Pathetic Life Of HyunSeop - A Story Trolling Incels For Steemit
The Pathetic Life Of HyunSeop
By T. Dalton
Hyunseop Gets Canned
Hyunseop’s routine involved dropping used needles in parks and playgrounds. As a medical waste handler, he always reported too few syringes in the medical records so that he’d have some fun. It was a war-game, going to schools and parks at night to leave the landmines. Before nodding off to sleep, he’d fantasize about the kids finding them. All it’d take was a single poke, and an entire spectrum of bacteria and diseases could find their way into those perfect and innocent little bodies.

This short story is a submission for @calluna’s latest contest. There's still some time left so if you have own story, be sure to submit it!
The prompt was
The Children They Made
" I am looking for a science fiction story set in a world where babies are normally designed in labs, and both parties are no longer needed for reproduction."
I actually have a draft for a novel on this topic. But that's not going on Steemit.
Genetic modification get’s a lot of shit in science fiction. But, there’s something to be said about the liberating potential of science and technology. I wanted to highlight this in the story. The children made in this world are those designed in labs, and still those designed by society. The children they made "like this".
Children birthed in vats, well, that frees women from the role of babymaker. Of course, individual choice, blah blah, some people want that life, want to be a mother. Sure, but that’s not the perspective I wanted to highlight in this story.
Hyunseop has his name taken from this piece of shit. I wanted to practice portraying a character that embodies resentment and ignorance, a man too pathetic to survive in a world without male entitlement. A place where toxic masculinity is contained in a prison island. I wanted to play up male stereotypes of masculinity, hence the chiseled chin and whiskey-drinking-cigarette-smoking ‘man’.
It was a fun little experiment in story telling. Thanks for the prompt @calluna.

Here are a few words from our lovely philosophers to “incel” cough MGTOW cough culture:
Nietzsche: “I stared at this incel and all I saw was an üntermensch, not much better than those antisemite children of adults as well.”
Marx/Engels/Lenin/Stalin/Mao/Gonzalo/Marcos: “Incels, more like psuedo-oppressed males... ayy LMAO, get those incels to the Gulag because there’s no saving them.”
Freud: “They see the Father in the women, thus they despise the women but yearn for such... and also that they’re creepy idiots that should be killed on sight.”
Lacan: “They need to see a mirror and finally develop the Paternal Signifier, or else they’ll never unbecome being a little shit.”
Zizek: “Mien Gott! sniff This is literally tugs shirt pure ideology! Gulag them already!”
Literally any feminist, except Neoliberals: “Well I wonder what an Incel is... facepalms get the flamethrower ready.”
Aristotle and Plato: “Why?... just no...”
Aquinas: “Not even I can save them... and Plato laying that truth down with Aristotle.”
Stirner: “Spoogs. All I see are spoogs.”
Otherwise, death to incels and their perversion of sexual relations!
That was... intense. I approve your choice of subject; it's time we nip that incel crap at the bud before it becomes more popular, and parodying it is THE way to go.
it's disgusting. As a man who strives to be strong and nurturing and healthy and without resentment, it's everything I don't want to be.
Fuck man, that gave me chills
thanks for reading!
I swear your mother pissed some dark fey off lol ...you are dark my friend and I love it ;)
don't get me started :)
;)
goes and googles "incel"
Oh lord my world view just got a little darker...
they're the worst! If you're interested in researching them, this website analyzes their bullshit. but be warned, nothing is pleasant. serious content warning. http://www.wehuntedthemammoth.com
That was a dark, dark rabbit hole you sent me down... It would be seriously funny if it wasn't so disturbing...
good! upvoted
Pathetic indeed!
Comedic horror I'm not sure what to call this but the guy is such a bafoon and ridiculous. Also creepily you managed to capture the seedy side of the medical business kind of like Bringing out the Dead. The part you wrote about him picking up the box I had a momentary associative memory of John Lydon talking about (and being disgusted at) seeing a girl on the street with a fetus in her handbag. Lots of uneasy and shocked feels from this story. Great writing!
