No, Cyberdemonic, it's not. Incels have a community. They have a site, they had an entire subreddit, and they have a shared ideology & ethics (inasmuch as they have ethics). The overwhelming majority of people who are virgins or who go long periods of time without sex, even due to circumstances beyond their control, do not call themselves "incel." And incels are, for the most part, not "involuntary," as they often brag on their site (and formerly, their subreddit) about sabotaging their own chances at getting laid in order to retain their incel identity, which at this point has become cult-like.

Incels usually claim that every male except "Chads" (the men in the top 1% of physical attractiveness) is also incel, that anyone who isn't a "Chad" in a relationship is incel but giving all their money to a woman in the hopes of getting sex, and that absolutely no woman has ever been turned down for sex ever (despite incels themselves often declaring they'd never sleep with anyone below "an 8" or some similar nonsense). All of this in direct contradiction to observable reality, of course. (That's not even addressing their bizarre fantasy views on biology, sociology, psychology, sexuality, and gender identity.) The incel sites/boards also foster & condone racism, misogyny, sociopathic behaviour, rape apologetics, paedophilia/ephebophilia, and even the idol worship of a psychopathic mass shooter. None of that stems from a mere "life circumstance." And they justify all of it with conspiracy theories that would make David Icke say "whoa, slow down a bit."

Oh, and they refer to themselves as a community on their own sites. Sorry, buddy, but making excuses for incel snowflakes just makes you look like one of them.
