It's absolutely appropriate to use as an insult. Being misogynistic is not a protected class; this is a label they created themselves to 'justify' their misogyny, i.e. "Girls won't bone me, so it's okay for me to hate them." tl;dr "incel" is in no way equivalent to those slurs.

And this is the reason why they are angry. Hatred is not a good response to misogyny. And lumping all incels as misogynist ignores the plurality of the human condition.

Self-proclaimed incels aren't an example of plurality of human condition, but of singularity of opinion. They weren't born this way, they chose their path.

That's ridiculous. There are multiple reason that can range from severe social anxiety, mental illness and neurodiversity. Lumping everyone into a single pot ignores the reality of the diverse reason they might find themselves incel.

You realize incel isn't just a slang term for "can't get a date", right? The only people calling themselves incels are misogynistic creeps.

So you don't think someone with social anxiety read that word and realized it fits their situation? You realize when it comes to humans things are not as simple as your want them to be.

Words mean things. If you know the connotations and context of how the word is used, and you still identify as one, you are probably a creep.

Yeah not the least bit close minded for you to determine how people define themselves. So no they/them for you?

we all understand any self identified group gets to call themselves. For you to label all incels as creeps is incredibly ignorant.

if you legitimately, genuinely believe calling yourself an incel is in any way comparable to gender identity, i have nothing to say to you. we're on such different pages that a productive debate simply cannot be had.

I already knew that when you called all these people "creeps"

It's just a word, why are you getting upset over this? "Facts over feelings" right?
