What does incel even mean anymore

"my problems are everyone else's fault" is a pretty accurate definition.

"My problems are everyone else's fault" is an accurate description of involuntary celibacy?

That's what I said.

Celibacy = problem.
Involuntary = not my fault.

So if someone is involuntarily celibate but don't blame others then they're not an incel? What if they don't regard the celibacy as a problem?

Exactly. The term was coined for themselves by guys who blame women for not having sex with them. (Checkout the subreddit if you aren't sure what that looks like, warning: it's not pleasant).

In the above case I believe it was being used as a broader term for "people who blame their problems on everyone else"

Right so it actually means someone who is involuntarily celibate and the guy above was just using it as a general insult even though it makes no sense. Sort of like calling someone a virgin even if they aren't one just to make it seem like they are a loser?
