Violent losers are still losers.
18 year-old ... "adolescent"
Which is it?
- Both.
  In civilised countries you can still be tried as a child when you are deemed too immature.
  Don't know how it is in France but in Germany this can be the case until you are 27 years old. So while you are for most purposes an "adult" from 18 onwards even a 26 year old can be seen as adolescent. Because the law knows that not all people are the same.
  
  I have to agree with this. I am nearly 50, but I was incredibly immature when I was younger compared to a lot of my peers. And I think individually people need to be assessed based on their maturity levels. It was what it was, and I can't change it, but my circumstances led to that situation.
  Plenty of counselling and an interesting life, which we all have probably had in our own way, has put me in step with the majority of my peers now, but I do believe that people need to be seen as individuals.
- It could be a translation thing. In certain parts of France, "ados" is a bit of a catch-all term for anyone in teenager or young adults years. It's not strictly defined, but would explain the presence of the word in an English translation.
  
  It's basically the translation to teenager, so up to 20, over 20 they could still be called "grand ado" (big teen) if they're still not really mature.
- teenager
"We charge him with terrorism... Also this loser wasn't getting enough pussy, which makes him uncool... So up the charges on that basis" -court transcript of new laws being implemented.
- You're going to have to explain this comment a bit more because it sounds like you think men not getting pussy makes them incels instead of them just being disgusting human beings that no one wants to be around.
  
  The word incel is a portmanteau of 'involuntary celibacy' so it means, by definition, 'not getting pussy'
  
  The charges were terror related, there's no special extra charge or any new laws being used "for the first time" just because he was an incel...
  ...also he wasn't an incel, he was a far-right praising hitler fear of the great replacement teenager.
  Pretending that women sleeping with people like that will stop them doing crimes or is somehow a pivotal factor just extends the sex obsessed and objectifying beliefs of that world view.
  Using the term incel amplifies the idea that it's a valid idea.It's a shitty headline, so I mocked it.
  Incel describes most single people. It's quite normal, we need to stop telling men it's not normal.
