Although the main definition would be something along the lines of "female incel", the term femcel is often just used to describe various personality traits.
Yes, a femcel is a celibate woman (voluntarily or not), but with
time, the word has mostly been used to describe
single women interested in (non exhaustive list) :
- the
internet. Femcels are known to be chronically online first and foremost.
- being mentally ill, in one way or another.
- being obsessed with femboys/being a yandere.
- listening to "femcel music" : mitski, fleetwood mac, blondie, princess chelsea, deftones, deathgrips...
- having "femcel hobbies" : video games, horror, a mix of both, "cutesy" things, art, spending all day in
bed doing absolutely nothing,
anime...
- generally being a social reject, especially in real life, and mostly having online friend (if any IRL friends at all).
"i haven't left my room in a week and my back really hurts."
"Yeah, maybe that'
s because you've been doing nothing but rewatching Serial Experiments Lain for the 100th
time and listening to three hours deep dives about every PS2 psychological horror games with a woman protagonist you could find."
"lol yeah i guess."
"You're such a
fucking femcel."
