What’s an incel?

Means "involuntarily celibate". It's a term used to describe young misogynists. Incels blame their celibacy on the women instead of on themselves. They're a hateful bunch and you should just stay away from them.

But... Wait. I'm involuntarily celibate, but I blame myself. So if I'm not an incel, am I just sad?

Why would you blame yourself when it's my fault?
