Is it simply: involuntarily celibate, or does it come with a package?
To me, “incel” has always meant someone who’s simply just celibate against their will, but it feels like the term now also implies a specific worldview or even a subculture. Does identifying as an incel automatically come with those negative beliefs around gender and society, or should those two have separate terms? Has the definition changed?"

I would never use the term towards someone unless they were exhibiting the stereotypes. I would have no reason to, I could otherwise just say “this person is a cinnamon roll and needs to be protected.”
