It’s supposed to mean someone who is involuntarily celibate, but it actually means someone who is in that boat who holds misogynistic views. This word should be seen as offensive like a slur because not everyone who is involuntarily celibate is a bad person. Just because someone hasn't had sex yet or hasn't had any luck in dating doesn't mean they're a bad person.
Man, I hate the word “incel”. It pisses me off so much. Anyone who uses it as an insult is a fucking asshole. Plain and simple. Just because someone hasn't had sex doesn't mean that they're bad. Not everyone is lucky when it comes to dating. I understand people usually use it to call out people who say bad things about women, but I disagree with using that word. We shouldn't stoop to their level. Yes, I'm involuntarily celibate, but I will never wish to rape or sexually harm someone like that. That's fucked up. Also, why the fuck do you care about someone’s sex life? Mind your own sex life. Enjoy yourself.

Unlike the standard noun 'incel,' being incelian refers more to the rhetoric or 'energy' a person projects—specifically a cynical or 'black-pilled' outlook on dating and social hierarchy. A person can be described as incelian regardless of their actual relationship status, simply by adopting the specific ideological framework and attitudes associated with the group.
