the dudes who would rather think a typical incel post is a parody rather than engage with the level of hate it displays are the reason women have been screaming a warning about these awful people as they have gone on to kill repeatedly

who are insufficiently misogenistic. I have had (male) friends who initially believed incel communities were support communities for people who had romantic difficulties who were excluded or intimidated out for questioning “women are evil” statements. I am friends w/ other men
-
who visited on of the incel subreddits, were horrified, & now firmly reject the labeling. There are plenty of wonderful people of all genders who struggle w/ finding sexual partners but refuse the “incel” label. It seems unhelpful to force it on them against their wishes.

Interesting and helpful context thank you. But why are we letting redditors define the word. Or if that's the definition why does Wiktionary disagree? One white supremacist group need not malign all white people.
-
I am letting redditors define the word b/c the reddit community was the largest & the first to bring the word into the zeitgeist that I am aware of. Also, at least partially, b/c there are many people who fit the definition of “involuntarily celibate” vehemently reject the title
-
“involuntarily celibate”.
-
The also vehemently reject the label “incel” b/c of the horrible views espoused by people who self-identify as “incels”.
