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

to be concise, my opinion is that incels represent a whole untapped source of people to be manipulated by dubious agents (as they emerge to mainstream). I don't think the people panicking are panicking for the right reason, but they're responding to the consequences of this.

so the temporal landmark is not advent of incels but increased discoverability by those that could benefit off of them.
