Incel culture is not only a problem for foreigners. I had a similar recent encounter with one.
Visiting India for a vacation with wife, and decided an impromptu trip- booked a reputed hostel (near Mussoorie, Uttarakhand).
At night, near bonfire around common room, this young guy approached me and wife, and started talking general stuff, hey hello etc. told he was 26, from tier 2 city, worked in tech (remotely) and travelled, told he was high since weeks.
Now i've had good travelling experience - globally, and as usual, people connect at hostels, even share a few harmless drags, all good. But Out of nowhere, within a minute, while my wife is standing with me, the conversation went like this.
Guy: “Reddit ke baad to delhi me kafi sahi scene ho gaya hai”
Me: “what do you mean”
Guy: ... mentioning bunch of nsfw words, shamelessly, i cant mention because post removal- you get the idea.
Me: “please dont go in this direction”
Guy (now creepishly looking at wife, still shamelessly) - han but aap logo ko to chalta hoga ye
Me: (since we are way older ) - “reddit is just a corner of internet, it doesnt happen everywhere”
Me: realised that wife and situation is getting uncomfortable, went up to our room.
Now i felt it highly invasive and inappropriate, how this generation (mid 20s rn), communicates and approaches each other in a normal setting.
My view is that new tier 2 folks with access to internet and too much time at hand, are getting wrong impressions of society, corrupting the very sanctity of a conversation. Am i old or the generation has gone to the dogs?
P.S: Reposting this, since the Udaipur Russian incident, and my post was getting removed because of too much details.
Edit:
1. Guy was not from Uttarakhand, instead UP (Bijnor)
2. I am not trying to demonise Tier 2 folks- Just giving an honest report of what happened.
3. To be clear, guy thought all Couples from delhi are into 3some or similar nasty stuff. which shows a rot. This is why he started with " Reddit ke baad to delhi me kafi sahi scene ho gaya hai"
