See? You are doing it. Be sure to dismiss this response as something coming from an incel, my other half thinks it's funny.

Yes. Fuck incels. They're pieces of misogynistic shit. I don't care if you're an incel or just some lonely guy, get a hobby.

Fuck incels.

Isn't that what they're asking for..?

[–] CADmonkey 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I have plenty. And I'm not lonely. But when I try to defend lonely fellas online, you say things like "get a hobby".

People love to hate.

There is a distinction to be made here though. Strictly speaking, being involuntarily celibate is a shame, and not at all bad.

That being said, the term incel has addition context that isn't strictly it's definition, and that isn't good.

If you are referring to yourself as an incel then there is likely a regressive mindset that goes with it. Most people just call themselves single. Sexual status is a construct, whether it be virgin or "promiscuous". Unlikable men choose incel so that they can blame their lack of sex on the people not giving it to them.
