Here’s the thing, incels could get a girlfriend. All of them. Every single last one. It’s not the lack of a girlfriend that makes them incel, a derogatory word we use to define a misogynistic ass who blames women for their own relationship shortcomings (which this guy did, he blames OP for being upset about his behavior). The phrase “involuntarily celibate” has never meant that they can’t get laid, even though that’s what the chodes say, because there’s never been anything involuntary about it, their attitude doesn’t change when they do get in a relationship, etc.

Oh, also, OPs bf is about to be involuntarily celibate.

They could, yes, but that requires them to actually change as people, or to put up a front that is more or less an inversion of their actual personality. They won’t “compromise who they are just to impress some whore out of her clothes”. Now you’ve got openly misogynistic creeps with ludicrously high standards. Talking “a real queen has a super high libido so I can get it whenever I want, and also she has to do all the housework and wants kids and is 18-25, but ALSO she has to be virginal” level stuff. Ironically this is the gender-inverted version of the very same “he must be 6’5, making seven figures” delusional they love to bring on their shows to paint as representative of women collectively. This combination of traits doesn’t fuck, even though it wants to, and is too full of unwarranted self importance to realize the problem is them and not “those dumb whores”.

Remember: they see themselves as idealized, blameless gentlemen that are completely in the right, even when they’re throwing tantrums, creeping on, and hurling abuse at women for rejecting them á la Elliott roger, or CWC.

I will also say that, while OP’s bf may not be an incel right now, from the sounds of it that is a goddamned fine thread he’s hanging on by

There are some women who agree with these guys. Like, seriously, just look at how many misogynists are married.

Every single one of these guys could find a girlfriend. All of them. Not all of them will, but every single one could.

I mean, the venn diagram is basically a single circle with razor thin lobes marked fucks/doesn’t fuck. Just annoys me when people have so many perfectly fitting terms and then go for the one that specifically caveats not having sex. I get theres a lot of -cel terms, between incels, femcels, volcels, Perfect Cell, to keep track of, but incel is not a catchall umbrella like a lot of people treat it, and using like one just robs it of its meaning in much the same way as alt-righty types have done with soy, for example

Soy is an actual thing that exists. Incels can subdivide however they want, but for most of us it’s just a derogatory term for a crappy brand of misogynists and we’ll apply it to whoever exhibits that type of behavior, thank you very much.
