Being a woman hating imbicile will do that.

Incel pretty much already means that.

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'.

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

~~It's the exact opposite of your point actually, thanks for playing, though~~

Edit: I can't read, apparently

Do read my comment again lmao

[-] WldFyre@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Oh shit you right! I'm so sorry, I didn't check the usernames lol

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

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

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.

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

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

The first one. There are a few exceptions, but overwhelmingly, incels are dudes who act like they are owed sex and call women "females" and then are surprised when none want to sleep with them
