What is an incel? What is "Incel ideology"?

What you mean by that?

There are life circumstances that keep a person single - nobody really disagrees with that, and you said this is your situation.

no, I don't share values with groups, I like to think for myself and mostly deviate from the norms of those forums. So no

You don't share values with groups and "Incel" has many values associated with it. It doesn't make sense to identify with it if you don't share the values.

I think we are speaking past each other. My case is that incel is a state, and your case it is a combination of those 2

Even incels recognize Marx as the original for their ideas.

Incel can be both a state and a identity. As a state it means it is 100% involuntary, since you aren't making the choice, foids are.
As a identity there is some voluntarism into it, as a incel could reject any foid advances to keep his "belonging" within the "incel tribe". However, there is no such thing as a volcel, every volcel is coping because he is never tempted. And even if a incel is tempted, it is because of his identity (he is a incel so goth foid want to seduce him because reddit) not because of his condition, which is dependant on his true being.

No someone who doesn't label themselves as an incel isn't an incel simple as.

An incel is first and foremost a label that someone puts upon themselves and incel once they put the label upon themselves it means usually that they want sex and a relationship with a woman but women don't want a relationship or sex with them. Even if someone is a virgin if they never cared about getting a relationship or sex with a woman then they aren't an incel.

Incels in denial are very common, though.
Cel flag



The first invcel and the inventor of incel was lgbt. Incel is on the lgbt spectrum.

"Incels in denial" are like "trans in denial", they literally cannot exist unless they come out.

Post this to other platforms and see how they respond.

It's only a state to those that identify as incels and those that think it is a state are incel ideologists, simple as. All women that play the incel game by calling men incels are incels themselves.

You're only incel if you want to be one.

Problem is that the lgbt spectrum put everyone who is "not conformed to straight marriage" into one of its boxes.
People who fap to anime characters, for instance, are fictosexuals, which also have a stripes flag.
So if you have no luck with women, you will be stuck into some of these categories, like you or not. Even if you dont even think about the subject.
I dont even consider celibacy as real when you are fapping, because for me masturbation is a form of sex as well. Still incel is what it is, because I'm socially awkward and dont engage with women.

Incel is a word which describes someone's state of sexlessness/chronic singledom.

It's also a meme term which over the years has become a distinct subculture and personal identity.

Those are two separate things.

Someone can be incel (state) without necessarily being an 'incel' (personal identification and affiliation with incel culture).

But there is the question of being a racial minority.... And the obvious disadvantage they face even if the discrimination is subtle..

Absolutely true, and accepting and using incel as a word is the first step in joining that distinct subculture and personal identity.

No, not necessarily, anyone can use the word in its proper definition in discourse without personally identifying with incel culture.

Did you know that the original founders of the Incel Wiki were anti-blackpill moderates who had their wiki hijacked by forum staff? Interesting read tbh and a lot of the content there informs my views.

Thanks for the screenshot, that's informative.

The culture is the natural end of the word, they're having /pol/ style conversations about being "involuntarily celibate". Most people have been involuntarily single at some point of their lives for most of history, especially before birth control.

Is being male the same as being incel?

I'm going to make a longer post later.

You were arguing the word naturally leads to the way incel culture is today?
Unless a person is handicapped, they're not really involuntarily celibate. The lifestyle changes maybe too much but that's another question — they're no longer incels if they're doing the math and concluding it's too much.

Real misogyny/misandry exists and incel communities would be the perfect alibi for both of them.

Incels do not exist.
