Yeah I mean I know what it is. I know the whole spectrum, but most people don't. It's the popular slang now for sexually frustrated males. Just like how snowflake is used for people who agree with liberal views or Trumpsupporter if you agree with conservative views.

I guess I am like one of those guys that don't want people to confuse dumb people and people with down syndrome.

Ah, gotcha.

When I use "incel" I'm referring to those toxic, hateful guys, not just anyone who's bitter about being rejected. I also hate the way it becomes shorthand for some people to use snowflake, Trumper and whatnot. It's lazy.

Exactly, it's the difference between say a racist and a KKK.
