Cringe moment is that when I was like 16 or 17, I too, identified with being an incel - I mean, I WAS INvoluntarily CELibate. So I browsed their subreddit for a while.
I quickly realized that those were guys who were not just involuntarily celibate. They all hated women.
It’s odd to me how you start by saying ‘incel = woman hater’, then showcase having the self awareness to recognize being involuntarily celibate without hating women, then loop back around to ‘incel = woman hater’.
You could say you’re a fan of national socialism, but when you realize what people who refer to themselves as national socialists are, I don’t think you’ll want to use that label on yourself anymore.

Being a woman hating imbicile will do that.

Incel pretty much already means that.

There’s nothing wrong with being a virgin, but the term incel has more connotations than “involuntary celebrate.”

It’s just that they’ve adopted the label.

We already said incel

What’s the implication here? They’re an incel because they hate women or they hate women because they’re an incel?
