<div>A '''beancel''' or '''tacocel''' is a subset of [[ethnicel]] meaning someone whose [[inceldom]] is caused by sexual discrimination targeted against their Hispanic/Latino roots. According to [[Demographics_of_inceldom#Race|demographic polls]], beancels constitute approximately 5 to 9% of the incel community.<br />

<div>The '''womanosphere''' is a subset of the internet that is primarily visited by women and primarily deals with women's issues. The [[manosphere]] is in large part a response to the [[womanosphere]]. Since women are the ''[[virtue signaling]] gender'' its not always clear that whats being said in womanosphere vlogs or threads matches with reality.<br />

The condition of being ''incel'' is a certain kind of [[nonsexualities|nonsexuality]].<br />
<br />
Contrary to perceptions in the media, incel is neither a political movement nor a [[incel community|community]]/subculture, but a descriptive academic term for a gender-neutral life circumstance. Therefore, incels do not share a belief system, especially not those who do not self-identify as incels.<br />
<br />
The term "incel" often means different things to different people, leading to confusion. Among academics and self-identified incels, the word refers to the literal circumstance of being celibate against one's will. However, to mainstream communities, "incel" often refers to a hateful misogynist and/or an involuntarily celibate person who is part of an online community of hateful misogynists.<ref>https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/incel</ref> This often leads [[Normie|normies]] to believe that self-identified incels use the term as an outward display of hate, whereas actual self-identified incels primarily use the term in a self-deprecating or self-defeating manner.<br />
<br />
No mass murderers have been users of incel forums. Neither [[4chan]] nor [[PUAhate]] have self-identified as incel forums, even though some incels use or used those sites. Current major incel internet forums are: [[Incels.co]], [[Yourenotalone.co]], [[Love-shy dot com|love-shy.com]], [[Incelswithouthate]], and [[Foreveralone]].<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
<br />
Celibacy comes from Latin ''caelibatus'' 'unmarried state', but from the 1950s onward it was come to mean sexual abstinence without reference to marriage status.<ref>https://www.etymonline.com/word/celibacy</ref><br />
The term ''involuntary celibacy'' has likely independently been conceived of by various writers throughout history, dating back at least to the 18th century, e.g. a French clergyman, [[Antoine Banier]], used it in 1739.<br />
[[Henry Flynt]] discussed male involuntary celibacy in relation to being perceived as [[creep]] in his 1975 book [[Blueprint for a Higher Civilization]].<br />
The neoliberal feminist [[Alana]] introduced the abbreviated term "invcel" in 1997 which was later changed to "incel" at the suggestion of someone in the mailing list she created as it was easier to pronounce and did not sound as much like "imbecile." Incel was later used in the [[Donnelly Study]] in 2001 and was first [[Ton den Boon|lexicographically recognized]] in 2018.<ref>https://www.vandale.nl/wvdd-incel</ref><br />
<br />
==Definition==<br />
<br />
The [[Donnelly]] Study defined incels as adults who fail to find a sexual partner for six months or more without choosing so.<br />
There remains disagreement about whether this definition is appropriate due to conceivable loopholes. For example, [[Bluepill|Bluepillers]] often argue in bad faith about such definitions and say male incels could simply have gay sex or pay for a prostitute and, therefore, they are [[volcel|volcels]] and incels don't exist. Hence, a definition in good faith would include an addition that incels are adults who are overwhelmingly rejected by the ''members of the sex they are sexually attracted to''.<br />
<br />
On incel forums, [[gatekeeping]] and infighting about who counts as incel is common.<br />
[[Uglycel]]s complain that [[love-shy]]s and [[standardcel]]s simply lack ''will'' to find a partner.<br />
In an effort to weed out standardcels, some incel forums reject incels who have not seriously and repeatedly attempted dating.<br />
In doing so, however, they inandervatently marginalize non-standardcel mentalcels.<br />
This is the source of a lot of conflict in the [[incelosphere]]. A solution to this longstanding conflict would be an incel definition that rejects [[standardcel]]s but includes non-[[standardcel]] [[mentalcel]]s as incel. This has been formalized before, but has not been popularized or adopted yet by any major forum, perhaps because of the effort required in enforcing such a complicated definition.<br />
<br />
The infighting over whether to include [[love-shyness|love-shies]] in incel forums mainly hinges on the meaning of ''involuntary'', and whether involuntary means "without choice" or "against will". However, in different contexts, the word involuntary can mean either, and both are different experiences.<br />
According to the definition in the Donnelly Study, inceldom is not the same as [[permavirginity]] or [[truecel]]dom, meaning even someone who is only experiencing a dry spell may find himself involuntarily in this situation and hence may count as incel.<br />
<br />
==Demographics of incels==<br />
{{main_article|[[Demographics]]}}<br />
<br />
Assuming incel to be defined very broadly such that all sexless men are incels, then [[demographics of inceldom#Numbers|15-30% of American men between the ages of 18-30 are incels]], around a third of this consisting of 18-20 year olds.<br />
<br />
Incels are politically diverse.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/askanincel/comments/dn62od/political_leanings/?sort=new</ref><br />
Some incels believe in the [[bluepill]], [[purplepill]], [[blackpill]], or the [[redpill]], while others do not subscribe to any pills. The most common shared beliefs among ''self-identified'' incels are [[determinism|hard determinism]] and that most [[femcel|female incels]] are [[volcel|voluntary celibates]] due to [[libido|men's higher sex drive]].<br />
<br />
Polls on [[Braincels]] and [[incels.co]] show that whites constitute only half the forum populations, with East Asians and South Asian (e.g., Indian) being overrepresented among Americans (see [[demographics#Race|Demographics § Race]]).<br />
<br />
Other facts gleaned about self-surveyed incels.co users include:<br />
<br />
*78% suffer from extreme sadness, anxiety, and stress.<br />
*82% have considered suicide.<br />
*62% have considered surgery to improve their looks.<br />
*77% report being a healthy weight or underweight (only 23% report being overweight, which is far less than the general American population average).<br />
*57% report receiving a medical diagnosis labeling them as non-neurotypical or as having a physical disability that impairs their normal daily functions.<br />
<br />
This suggests incels often have a low [[dominance hierarchy|dominance status]] ([[Alpha, Beta, Omega|beta or omega rank]]) that the [[pussy cartel]] doesn't approve of, presumably often due to being [[beauty|ugly]], [[love shy|shy]], [[poorcel|poor]], [[heightcel|short]], [[skinnycel|weak]], [[mentalcel|neurodivergent]], and/or [[medcel|physically ill]] (see [[causes of inceldom]]).<br />
<br />
==Adverse effects of inceldom==<br />
[[File:Securityquestions.jpg|thumb|Insecurity questions]]<br />
{{main_article|[[Adverse effects of inceldom]]}}<br />
<br />
Incel life is miserable, especially for socially isolated incels. Isolation and sexlessness are associated with various [[Scientific Blackpill#tocHealth|health risks]]. One study found losing ones virginity late, e.g. after the mid 20s is associated with [[erectile dysfunction]] and [[anorgasmia]] later in life.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20170622044005/https://abcnews.go.com/Health/Sex/story?id=3932047</ref><br />
Another study found that delayed sexual activity "creates health risks by impeding development of the emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal skills that are crucial to satisfactory sexual functioning and general well-being."<ref>https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/78bmza/the-cost-of-losing-your-virginity-late</ref><br />
<br />
==Life as an incel==<br />
Incel life is plagued by an [[masturbation|unending attempt]] to [[cope]] with one's sexual frustration. This frustration is exaggerated by highly sexualized social and mainstream media, causing incels to feel regret and [[sexual envy|envy]] about missed or unattainable opportunities for love and sex, which likely [[sex drive#Sexual_regret|affects men more than women]]. The general public mostly favors that [[allosexual]] incels behave in a completely asexual manner, i.e. to suppress their sexual needs. Incels are generally completely discouraged from voicing their sexual concerns, expressing sexual desire or making sexual advances. <br />
<br />
When pressed, [[anti-incel|some]] members of the public will deny to incels that sex is a need at all, despite a majority of the public rating sex the most pleasurable, joyous, and meaningful regular life experience they have.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Sex_is_the_most_pleasurable.2C_joyous.2C_and_meaningful_human_experience</ref> Women find men who do not have sex less appealing.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_are_more_attracted_to_men_who_are_already_in_relationships_than_single_men</ref> Incels are usually fully aware on some level that missing out on pair bonding and reproduction greatly negatively afffects their self esteem.<br />
<br />
Male incels that spend exclusive time with other males can sometimes be seen as awkward because the sexual inactivity may inaccurately appear as [[homosexuality]].<br />
<br />
==Can't an incel see a hooker?==<br />
{{main_article|[[Pussy cartel]]}}<br />
Frequenting [[prostitutes]] or being a sugar daddy/mommy does not count as a sexual, romantic, or even social relationship, but rather a financial relationship, as the relationship remains without sex/romance/sociability, but not without money. <br />
As with the general public, incels cannot generally afford regular visits by prostitutes, and seeing a prostitute comes with various legal and health risks that can be prohibitive depending on where the incel lives.<br />
In addition, many [[escortcel]]s frequently characterize prostitution as not an incomplete sexual experience, as it usually lacks sexual validation. It is also not accompanied by the status- and self-esteem-elevating experience of being selected for who one is.<br />
Legalization of prostitution can mitigate the [[side effects of inceldom]], but it does not permit them to fulfill the romantic experience of real sexual relationships That being the case, more incels would see prostitutes if they were legal.<br />
<br />
'''The majority of incels want genuine companionship.'''<br />
<br />
[[File:Oneitis.gif|full|center]]<br />
<br />
==Love-shy vs. incel==<br />
{{main_article|[[Love-shy]]}}<br />
Being [[Love-shy|love-shy]] means fear of engaging in or attempting to start romantic or sexual [[relationship]]s. It is possible for a person to be both incel and [[love-shy]], and many are to a certain degree. For instance, a person could initially be incel, then suffer large numbers of negative courting experiences, and eventually become [[love-shy]] and unable to approach, sometimes even after the initial reasons for their inceldom disappear.<br />
<br />
==Incelosphere==<br />
{{main_article|[[Incelosphere]]}}<br />
The [[incelosphere]] is a loosely connected set of websites and forums wherein people gather to discuss being romantically unsuccessful. Those who visit these sites are affectionately referred to as [[cybercel]]s or incelospherians. The network of online communities wherein people experiencing inceldom gather is called the [[incelosphere]]. Frequenters of the [[incelosphere]] are arguably unrepresentative of inceldom as a whole. This is because one of the key facets of inceldom is social withdrawal. The [[incelosphere]] constitutes the segment of inceldom that is sociable enough to have a proclivity for joining online communities.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Incelism==<br />
{{main_article|[[:Category:Incelists|List of incelists]]}}<br />
Incelism is any sort of activism that attempts to solve involuntary celibacy on a societal scale. This often takes the form of advocating for socially arranged partnerships, promoting various economic solutions, and a variety of other opinions. An ''incelist'' is someone who advocates on behalf of incels.<br />
<br />
==Chadsplanation== <br />
{{main_article|[[Bluepillsplaining]]}}<br />
<br />
[[File:40daysand40nights.jpg|thumb|right|<center>Normies, when not lying to incels about celibacy being easy, will joke about 40 days without sexual intimacy as complete savagery</center>]]<br />
Since [[normie]]s, [[chad]]s, [[becky]]s, [[stacy|stacie]]s, [[tanner]]s, and [[brad]]s don't like to pair up people anymore, they tell incels it's near 100% incels own fault that they can't find a partner. This will usually be accompanied by self-help "[[platitude|advice]]". For example: <br />
<br />
*Incels are told by [[normie|normies]] that looks don't matter, while at the same time being asked for pictues to see how ugly they are, and assuming they don't take enough showers or get enough haircuts.<br />
<br />
*They tell incels to be themselves but to pick up hobbies they don't like.<br />
<br />
*They tell incels that [[PUA|pick up artists]] are full of shit, while also claiming that incels don't have enough [[PUA|'game']] to <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">date [[rape]] drunk women at bars</span> 'pick up women'.<br />
<br />
*They tell incels that they are too [[nice guy|nice]], but also that they are [[asshole|assholes]].<br />
<br />
*They tell incels that sexual intimacy is unimportant, while buying and creating movies and songs about how sexual intimacy is one of the most important things in the world, and getting upset if they have a few week-long dry spells.<br />
<br />
*They tell incels that they 'just need to get laid,' and also that they 'don't need sex.'<br />
<br />
*They tell incels that sexual intimacy isn't a commodity in a game with a reward, but think of male virgins as "[[betabux|losers]]" and frequently refer to intimacy as something incels don't "deserve".<br />
<br />
*They will insist that sexual freedom is a sorting mechanism for [[male feminist|male feminists]], or good personalities like [[OJ Simpson]] and [[Jeremy Meeks]], and that your local [[wagecuck|grocery store bagger]] deserves to be an incel because of his political opinions or "entitlement". This is also known as the [[wikipedia:Appeal_to_nature|appeal to nature fallacy.]]<br />
<br />
In reality, since inceldom is miserable for most self-identified incels, most have spent large amounts of time, money, and social capital researching and attempting sexual success. Simple attitude or outlook changes almost never succeed in bringing an incel out of . Showers, extensive exercise, haircuts, cosmetology, skin/face treatments, feminist dating advice, manosphere dating advice, aggressive and nonaggressive courting strategies, and even surgery are common attempted remedies. Unfortunately, almost by definition, these were not successful to the point that the incel believes that future attempts are depressingly futile. <br />
<br />
==Incels in history==<br />
{{main_article|[[Protocel]]s}}<br />
<br />
Due to inceldom representing a life circumstance or deprivation, as opposed to merely representing a modern internet based subculture, there have of course been many incels throughout human history. A famous story of historical inceldom is the tale of the [[bridenapping|rape]] of the Sabine women by the ancient Romans.<br />
According to Roman tradition, after the city of Rome was founded by the legendary Romulus, the city was originally inhabited by mainly male pioneers who had followed Romulus in establishing the city. Due to the lack of marriageable women, this lead to many Roman men becoming involuntarily celibate. The elders of Rome planned to redress this by sending diplomats to foreign tribes asking for arranged marriages between their women and Roman men. However, the neighboring tribes of the Romans deeply distrusted the Romans, and feared their ascendant power. This led to Romulus devising a ruse; where he established a festival (Consualia) dedicated to a newly discovered god named Consus. He then invited several neighboring tribes to attend this festival. The entire population of a neighboring tribe named the Sabines apparently attended the festival. Romulus had previously arranged with his men that, when he gave the signal during a feast attended by the Sabines, they would violently spring into action and abduct and run off with the Sabine women. This mass rape led to a war between the Romans and the Sabines, which concluded with a peace treaty being concluded between the Romans and the Sabines, (with the Sabine women acting as intermediary's between their new Roman husbands and their Sabine male relatives). This ultimately resulted in the two tribes being united under Roman rule.<br />
<br />
Many prominent figures throughout history were provably incel or very likely incel, to briefly note a few: [[Beethoven]], [[Friedrich Nietzsche|Nietzsche]], [[Van Gogh]], [[Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec]], [[Otto Weininger]] (likely, but not proven), the [[truecel|deformed]] [[manlet|dwarf]] companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammed, [[Julaybib]]<ref>https://www.islamstory.com/en/artical/3408730/Julaybib</ref> (who ascended through an arranged marriage prior to being killed in battle, after being described as "the one who had spent a lifetime in despair"), and likely many others. <br />

It is very likely the term "Involuntary celibacy" was coined in 1739 by French writer and clergyman [[Antoine Banier]]. He used it in a sense that implied that customs at the time, that led to men and their families demanding a dowry in exchange for marrying a woman, resulted in some women being unable to marry, thus leading to them being [[femcel|incel]] (because female extramarital sex was heavily socially discouraged at the time). The frequency in use of the term seemed to increase in the 19th century (in the modern sense)<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Incelosphere#Background</ref>, with a lull in usage of the term in the 20th century, before seeing a resurgence in interest in the topic in the 1990s.<br />
