I don’t parse “they deserve their safe spaces” as mockery, but as more or less literal/sincere. Jacob has been consistently sympathetic to romanceless men in his writing, only frustrated with the “colored pill” ideologies. Moreover, the comment he is replying to does read like mockery: “the best he could secure is a poly marriage”, with scare quotes around “poly marriage”, as if that’s inferior to other kinds of marriage.
The serious answer would be: Incel = low status, implying that someone is an incel and deserves to be stuck in his toxic safe space is a mockery or at least a status jab, the fact you ignored the fact I wrote status jab/mockery and insisted only on mockery and only in the context of this specific post hints as motivated reasoning (Choosing to ignore the bigger picture and artificially limiting the limits of the discussion to minimize the attack surface without any good reason).
The mocking answer would be: These autistic rationalists can’t even sense obvious mockery and deserve to be ignored by normal people
As a note, I’ve spoken many times about the importance of having empathy for romanceless men because they’re a common punching bag and have written about incel culture specifically. The fact that the absolute worst and most aggravating commenters on my blog identify as incels doesn’t make me anti-incel, it just makes me anti those commenters.
