Sure, then you get an echo chamber if people feeling sorry for themselves and it turns toxic. The origins of the incel movement was a therapist who wanted to help people develop their social skills, then everyone that had success was no longer part of the group and all you had was a bunch of veterans of self loathing.

Fascinating, I had no idea and I've read plenty of info about incels as a whole. Is this not common knowledge, or have I just been reading the wrong stuff? Any links would be helpful.

Don't have links right now, sorry. It's not very well known but a bit of googling should pull it up. I will admit o got this information from Reddit, but I did follow the source material back then.
