No not porn! I have stumbled onto a load of searches for cosmetic surgery! DH says its defo not him, DS may have googled it I suppose, wasn't DD as she was away when some of them were done.

Most of them focus on fixes for 'suborbital rim retrusion' and 'retruded maxilla'. There is also a search on optimum philtrum length???Confused

Not sure they are bad per se, just v v odd! Any ideas?

Well did you look up what those surgeries are?

CoiledLocks · 18/02/2019 18:11

Does your DH "need" any of those things? It is odd isn't it?

shortlongterm · 18/02/2019 18:11

Yeah it looks like stuff for the face??

It could still be your DD if your browser is linked to her email address ie Chrome.

katykins85 · 18/02/2019 18:13

DH arranging a suprise for your birthday?! 😂
I agree, its likely one of the kids.

Is it definitely on the PC and not just the same Google account on another PC? I was getting some weird recommendations on my YouTube a few months ago and had loads of really disgusting videos in my watch history.
Turned out my mum was somehow logged into my YouTube on her laptop and was watching Doctor Pimple Popper videos. Envy (not envy)

MissionItsPossible · 18/02/2019 18:38

What BearTown said.

Eliza9917 · 18/02/2019 19:40

ooOooh I love a bit of Dr pimple popper! Off topic but there ya go.

These are to do with the jaw and are hot topics among the incel community as they believe the feature attributed to these surgeries are part of the reason women reject them.
how old is your DS?

WelcomeToGreenvale · 18/02/2019 20:57

How old is your son?

Does he visit Reddit?

These are really worrying searches as they relate to the MRA/incel community, who have terrifying views on women. This would really concern me. Make sure you know what your son is doing online and the kind of sites he's visiting, the views he's absorbing.

GirlRaisedInTheSouth · 18/02/2019 21:00

What are those things WelcomeToGreenvale? I’m on a packed train so don’t want to Google.

katykins85 · 19/02/2019 06:17

Blimey, just read up on the Incel stuff and it awful Shock OP I really hope your son isn't identifying with this shit Sad

Letsmoveondude · 19/02/2019 06:56

What is Incel? Scared to google it. Mumsnet has given me some very dodgy terms to google over the years.

BarbaraofSevillle · 19/02/2019 07:01

Involuntarily celebacy, of unpleasant men with misogynistic views getting angry that women won't shag them.

It's horrendous and linked to some recent acts of mass shootings and vehicles being driven into crowds.

PositiveVibez · 19/02/2019 07:03

Incel - involuntary celibate.

Disgusting men who blame/hate/detest women for the fact that nobody will have sex with them.

They speak about what they want to do to women to 'get them back' for the fact that they are revolting humans.

It is a horrid and scary subculture.

ElizabethMainwaring · 19/02/2019 07:05

Blimey. This thread has taken an unexpected turn.

SexNotJenga · 19/02/2019 07:07

Incels managed to get themselves kicked off reddit, which tells you something. They idolise Elliott Rodger, who murdered six people, injured 14 others and then killed himself, because he couldn't get laid. Rodger believed that women should be shared out fairly between men, like jelly beans.

BusterGonad · 19/02/2019 07:31

I have never heard of this before and it's very scary. All the stuff about Chad and Stacies. Weird as fuck. It makes me worried for my son having to grow up with all this shit.

Letsmoveondude · 19/02/2019 07:34

Sick old world we live in...

BusterGonad · 19/02/2019 07:54

They are literally obsessed with 3mm of bone on the chin/jaw. Weird. Sad and weird tbh.

stopitandtidyupp · 19/02/2019 07:57

I am also scared to google bit why is incol celibacy linked to face thickness?

It sounds awful. I hope it isn't this OP.

yodelsay · 19/02/2019 08:04

But if one of us googled what's come up in this thread then our DH saw our history, he would wonder what we were thinking.

Maybe it's something your DS has heard about and he wanted information so he went to google.

Talk to him!!

notapizzaeater · 19/02/2019 08:04

How old is ds ? Does he have extreme views in anything ?

GirlRaisedInTheSouth · 19/02/2019 08:10

This makes for interesting reading: www.google.com.au/amp/s/psmag.com/.amp/news/who-are-the-incels-of-4chan-and-why-are-they-so-angry

BusterGonad · 19/02/2019 08:44

Stop because men (Chads) who have sex all have a perfect square jaw. Incels apparently have weak chins and no jaw to speak off. Google it, its fascinating. I mean it's strange so if you are easily upset then don't.
