Seems like a plausible explanation is increased visibility and/or organization and/or social influence? Not "ew there are probably GROSS people out there" but "oh no I have to see them online"? But this seems thin Hurm a puzzle

I think it's a mistake to conflate the negative social pressures surrounding being unsuccessful at having sex (involuntary celibacy) with the Incel community. It's like conflating not wanting to get married with MGTOW. Did The Who write a song with the word "Femoid"?

I definitely made this mistake before the moral panic drove me to read some Incel forums. Commentators on anti-Incel beats are HORRENDOUS about this mistake. But it is still a mistake. Incels are bad because they dehumanize women, not because they're sad about not having sex.
