Alleged Santa Barbara shooter Elliot Rodger described as ‘involuntary celibate,’ or incel

Wordwatch: incel (n). Involuntary celibate. [Sorry this is a disturbing term given the origin, but language never sleeps.]

Just discovered "incel" as concept and subject of discussion, and really wishing I hadn't.

@andressa_ian @PostRacialMyAss @AnalGender he got so into the incel thing he was utterly murderously enraged at IMAGINARY REJECTION.

So it seems a bastard fucking incel man child has killed 7 people, himself included. The news insists he was mentally I'll. I am furious.

Shades of the 2009 LA Fitness shooting, when an incel guy in his late 40s shot a bunch of women in their late 40s in an aerobics class

"He is what the Men's Rights movement calls an Incel, short for involuntary celibacy. It's a hot topic in various parts of the manosphere."

@RationalWiki Well, more precisely an "incel," though his belief system seems to have considerable overlap with MRAs, PUAs etc etc.

So angry. I hate MRAs. I hate PUA. I hate "nice guys" and "incel" and all you little entitled, misogynist fucks.

@chaosprime @mystery_butt @andressa_ian @OrochiZantou and the "incel" is a failure-state of the "nice guy", which is pure misogyny.

Women lying dead because of your MRA PUA redpill incel entitlement BULLSHIT. This is not just a rape culture, it is a murder culture.

One of the "incel" blogs linked from that article is loaded with MRAs talking about killing women, fucking gross.
