We need to be clear what is meant when someone says 'incels.' Are we talking abt individuals who get together online & plan & celebrate violence against women? If so, of course, we must regard them as dangerous ideologically-motivated criminals/potential criminals/collaborators
Well, it means someone who isn't in a sexual relationship but would like to be.

Does this deserve a name? It's a normal state of affairs, not a medical condition. The name suggests entitlement.

Incels are what they call themselves when they form communities. I don't think it's possible to take that away.

Well, some do. Most young men in this position aren't so pretentious. I'd like to think I wouldn't've been. I'll continue to criticise the use of this label.
-
That is what the movement/community is called. Of course,most men in this position don't join it. It's a specific movement we are talking about. It's horrible. Lots of threats on violence against women who they refer to as 'femoids'. Fantasies about cutting pregnant women in half
-
I think I'll stick with "so-called incels", cf. "so-called IS".
