The term "incel" is short for "involuntary celibate". It refers to a subculture of individuals who identify as involuntary celibates, often expressing frustration and resentment towards society, particularly women, for their inability to form romantic relationships or have sex. Incels often blame women, feminism, and societal beauty standards for their situation, which is often characterized by loneliness, isolation, and a sense of inadequacy. The incel subculture has been linked to violent and extremist ideologies, particularly in the context of mass shootings and online harassment.
