/ˈinˌsel/
noun
The word incel was first defined by a woman in 1997, but has since evolved into a movement of guys who believe they are forced into an existence where sex is unreachable for them. They are often fierce supporters of ideologies like the blackpill. Their actions online display misogyny, calls for violence, racism, and even pedophilia.
Incels have caused significant harm offline, to the point that Canada has officially listed incels as a domestic terrorist threat, and the US DoJ has since followed suit. The UK, after the Plymouth shooting in 2021 has had similar calls to label incels as a threat.
Incels groups are can be identified by the language they use. For instance, they use "femoid" and "toilet" in place of the word woman, "sub-human" for themselves, the "maxxing" suffix, "ascended" to describe an incel who has had sex, "sheboon" for black women, etc.
Forums for incels, banned or current, are consistently filled with extremist content. Studies that have been published by peer-reviewed journal publications have shown that toxic language and violence are pervasive across multiple major incel forums. Reddit has notably banned the vast majority of incel forums. When confronted for their abuse online, the person confronting them may experience being harassed online, possible doxxing, and threats from other incels.
For more information about violence enacted by incels or recorded behavior of online incel communities, the ADL has a detailed page about them.

Get the Incel mug.Someone of below/average intelligence who does poorly in school, can't argue without hitting or yelling at someone, and refers to the "straw man argument" too much. They try to put a lot of thought into comebacks or their own opinions on things that do not need intellectual flexing, and then speed their voice up to make it sound like they're saying it with ease, but they really can't even understand what they're saying. The Pseudo-Intellectual evolves by the person mentioned "waking up" after watching a documentary, reading a book, etc. Half of the "intelligent" things they say are quoted, and they WILL ignore you if you mention it. They also try to aim at family members the most, trying to show that everyone in the family is stupid except him/her. The common Pseudo-Intellectual can be found on political forums like Zeitgeist, who plan on changing the world, but hardly do anything other than sitting on their computers planning. Their ego-centrist attitude may also come from the family holding the person the highest.
