Mr. Incel is coming for your son. When I first learned what “incels” are, I was probably in my late teens, just getting started with my college years. They were an internet thing, seemingly a group of shitposters who couldn’t get laid and complained about women all day as a result. Over the years, media hysteria about the “incel threat” exploded to such a point that the term became an insult for anyone you don’t like, typically hoisted by women at men. The fundamental meaning, “involuntary celibate,” was lost to such a point that this group of men was no longer relevant.
