Good stuff, although I thought incels were people who considered themselves ugly and were angry that girls go for good looking guys rather than personality? (you state they they they are entitled to sex and consider themselves attractive. That sounds more like MGTOW)
Nah, if you look at Elliot Rodger's case, a lot of his rants are about how insane women are to not date him because he viewed himself as a "perfect specimen". many incels just think they're nice guys and not attractive, but many think they are entitled *because* of their looks

Fair enough. Sometimes they creep into a fitness forum I belong too, and they claim to be 'incel' and always blame their looks and talk about plastic surgery etc - so I assumed that's what it meant. They sound the opposite of entitled tbh, but I guess that's maybe the minority!
