As someone who, in my younger days, had a lot of the sequelae of these incel dudes I may have some insight. It has nothing (or little) to do with being sex-starved. It is 100% loneliness, largely driven by self-loathing and more particularly a lack of purpose

idk a lot of these guys seem very wrapped up in the sex part.

Oh yeah they do seem that way. They may even convince themselves that that’s what it is. But that’s just dissembling. It’s not the sex (and so hookers wouldn’t help): it’s the judgment that “you are worthy of sex” from people that the person finds attractive.
-
true, and it goes without saying these guys often show truly sad levels of ignorance about actual sex

analogy to the Great Recession and hysteresis from long term unemployment. When you’re out of a job for long enough you start to lose job skills. When you’re lonely that long you start losing the skills of sociability. It’s no one person’s job, but the phenomenon is a crisis

(Nobody owes them sex or companionship, but the fact that we have so many people so toxically lonely is a crisis that we as a society ought to have prevented)

i blame suburbia

(obv there's more than that going on but the phenomenon of cul-de-sac kids who have no freedom to independently interact with the world beyond TV and the internet until they turn 16 is very real)

Lonely women are ugly, weird, cat-obsessed. So it's their fault. Coincidentally lonely guys are also the women's fault.
