The online incel community has taken a break from blaming women for their ongoing failures in life to issue a collective tantrum over Netflix’s new drama Adolescence, which dares—dares, mind you—to portray incel culture as the toxic, rage-filled echo chamber it so demonstrably is.

Well, unfortunately for you, the meanings of words can (and often do) shift. "Incel" may technically expand to "involuntarily celibate," but the term now has many more connotations than just that, and trust me they are all very bad.

At the very least, you should really inform yourself about what you're calling yourself if you're going to continue using the word.
