An incel ("involuntary celibate") is a violently misogynistic male supremacist. It's an evolution of the MRA movement (Men's Rights Activists). Anyone defending them ("but he was lonely and treated unfairly by women") is defending a violent person.
I skimmed through a NYT article on "incel" that never actually defined what the semi-portmanteau meant. It did mention the connection to the MRA movement but, given how many folks on my TL who were tossing the term around, I wanted to make sure folks knew a bit about the term.
