What exactly is an “incel”

It seems like this term is thrown around a lot by the media and is finding its way into everyday usage. Is it just young dorky dudes who can't get laid and play computer games instead? MSM makes them sound racist, so is it just a catch all for white bros?

Wtf is an incel?

Sex deprived losers that spend all day on internet message board fueling deep seeded rage usually towards women and often minorities.

Based on the above responses, I'm thinking it's a dude who sucks with the ladies and is angry about it. Thus, any dude that that speaks out against weirdo pink haired feminists also gets the tag to shame him into shutting the fuck up. 

Like "transphobic" but for 300 pound bull dykes. Got it. 

Thanks frens.

What funnier is the left use it for the right but in reality it’s the SJW’s and soyboys that are far more likely to be incels. …They’re basically stupid, they call men with wives and families incels.

Angry nerds who can't get laid, who are angry with women over it, and feel like they are entitled to get laid just because

Different than just your nerdy video game kid, who likes girls but is also scared of them.

Incels are angry and violent about it

Actual incels tend to be pretty misogynistic and hate women…but they feel like they are entitled to get laid at the same time.

It’s like a subsect of nerds who can’t get laid…but the ones that are much more likely to be violent about it

Have been wondering myself.

Think about the villain in the Charles Bronson movie "From 10 to Midnight"

They didn’t call it being an “Incel” back then, but that dude in that movie is pretty much an incel.

Basically a weirdo creeper, who feels shunned by women he is interested in, and ends up being even creepier and possibly violent about it.

"Incel is short for "involuntarily celibate," a term originally coined in 1993 by a queer woman searching for a way to describe her sense of loneliness, and to connect with others who felt the same. The phrase has since been co-opted by an online community of men who are, in the simplest terms, angry that they can't convince women to have sex with them. Unlike typical men who are irked they're not having sex, incels don't grouse to their friends over beers and try to pick up girls at bars--they talk about overthrowing feminism and, often, plot violence against women, including advocating for state-sanctioned rape on subreddits like r/braincels, on 4Chan, and on various sites like incels.me."

We just called 'em "nerds" or "losers" back when I was in high school, but nowadays everything needs a label so it can be categorized, quantified, and dissected. The more validation and attention we give these losers, the worse they're going to get.

The term "incel" is kinda like the term "racist".

It stands for involuntarily celibate, and as others have said, is for dudes that can’t get laid, are mad about it, and hate women. So it’s a legit term and there are legit incels.

However, hardcore leftists & progressives have adopted the term and thrown it at anyone that’s even remotely against the current wave of feminism, is anything other than anti-patriarchy, doesn’t automatically abhor “toxic masculinity”, etc.

For example, if you thought the girl power scene in Avengers Endgame was cringe-worthy, they’d call you an incel.

So they’ve over (and improperly) used the term so much (and so rapidly), that it’s pretty close to losing its real meaning.

Kinda like how these same hardcore leftists and progressives call so many people “racists” and that term has lost a good chunk of its meaning, even though there are still legit racists out there.

That’s actually because of the hate for women thing.  The left isn’t calling you unfuckable, they’re calling you irrationally angry.

i disagree.  it's a good idea to have common and specific terminology.   there's all kinds of losers or nerds.  this is a very specific kind that often lashes out in very specific ways.

Isn't that basically the essence of it?

A nerdy or shy person probably understands the reason they're not getting the attention of the opposite sex is because they're nerdy or shy (and a lot of them mature and eventually get attention).

An incel, on the other hand, believes the lack of attention is primarily the fault of some sort of organized cultural or feminist ideology which unfairly targets men. 

 

Its something largely made up by the left who need to believe in an organised group of angry, violent men whose lack of success with women makes them violent and hateful.

The reality is its a tiny minority of dudes who bitch about women on the internet. It being the internet, much of it is hyperbole and cant be taken seriously.
