Homocel hypothesis

The homocel hypothesis is a model of male homosexuality that suggests that inceldom coupled with the blackpill (social exclusion, sexual frustration and hopelessness) eventually causes gayness. A similar model about "peripheralized" men (incels) making themselves into the female to get some crumbs from higher status men has been proposed by clinical psychologist Frank Muscarella in 2001 (alliance formation theory).

Another related model is the trans-vestigiality hypothesis which states that incels turn gay and feminine to evade aggression from larger males, and then steal their mating opportunities as "sneaker males".

Evidence

Evidence for the homocel hypothesis can be found in prison homosexuality (see prisoncel), where sexually frustrated men engage in homosexual acts to fulfill their sexual needs. The more dominant male may imagine his sexual experience with women while doing so, and the less dominant male is motivated to offer consensual sex in exchange for protection and resources.

Peripheralized males engaging in homosexual behavior (grooming, penis display and touching, and sodomy) can be also found in various primate species, and has been observed in all-male societies of pirates, as well as in vulnerable British men transported to Australia as punishment for crimes. Homoerotic alliances between low and high status males are also evidenced in reports of working-class England at the turn of the century, Australian Aborigines, tribes in Melanesia and Papua (though homosexuality in some Melanesian cultures often has a ritualized, religious element), New Guinea, contemporary Thailand, and Edo era Japan. Muscarella suggested peripheralized men can establish sexually intimate social ties with sexually frustrated men of higher social standing, to partially re-gain their access to resources and potentially restoring some reproductive success (and hence be adaptive behavior). Pederasty in several cultures like Romans and Ancient Japan may be related to such adaptive behavior as the growing boys often lack status and can gain access to resources through a more dominant/older male, as well as get resources in terms of knowledge being passed on from a more experienced male.

Resources are scarcer and hence more important in harsh ecologies such as the winter in Northern/Eastern hemispheres, so one would expect k-selected males there to exhibit more homocel and homosocial behavior to get some crumbs in dire conditions, whereas peripheralized males in easy, tropical ecologies can simply pick fruits all year long. Evidence for this may be that U.S. Asians are three times more likely to report a homosexual orientation than the country's average. Homosexual orientation is in fact also related to IQ.

Evidence for homocel hypothesis can also be found in mouse utopia experiments, where socially deprived rodents in extremely overpopulated environments started engaging in deviant sexual behavior, including homosexuality.

The principle of sexual frustration may be relevant to sexual deviance in general. After all, being denied access to "normal" sex, likely pushes individuals to consider alternative ways of satisfying their sexual needs. In fact, one robustly observes higher incidence rates of rape when prostitution is limited.

Since autists overwhelmingly are socially excluded, have low social status and frequently experience inceldom, the homocel theory may explain why autists are 10x more likely to be homosexual, or to transition to another gender, with research finding much higher rates and severity of autism among transsexuals. Disabled men are also twice as likely to have an alternative sexual orientation.

66% of men who were homosexual change their orientation to heterosexual five years later which might point to homocels seeing opportunities to ascend in accordance with Muscarella's alliance formation theory.

Anecdotal evidence

In Social Media, Memes, and Anime

Futanari porn

One observes a high consumption of futanari porn (females with penises) in some forums frequented by incels such as 4chan. More anecdotal evidence manlet sex-workers who can only attract male customers and then become fetishists of cock. Incel men who become bicurious rarely become romantically interested in men, but rather their interest becomes a fetish in sexual organs and desire. Vlogger BrendioEEE has accused r9k of being a pipeline from inceldom to homosexuality through futanari and cock fetish pornography. Indeed there is a whole genre of "porn" where cropped pictures of erect penises are mashed up against faces of women to make incels associate women with cock.

Femboys

Nowadays femboys are becoming more and more popular on the internet. There is a concerning amount of attention given especially by alt right incels to femboys on social media. While this may be just for meme purposes, it can not go unnoticed. This also may explain the rise in "femboy compilations" on social media apps like TikTok. It also can be noted that various animes especially in more recent times to include characters that look highly feminine, and sometimes can pass off as women or look completely like women but are identified as male, used to (and still often) referred to as "traps" on online forums such as 4chan to be boys, a few good examples being Felix Argyle from Re:Zero, or Astolfo from the Fate Grand Order series. Many of which tend to be very popular in anime communities. In anime communities this may have significant comorbidity with the below sub-type.

Yaoi (BL)

Although Yaoi (boys love) is largely produced and consumed by a majority female demographic (also known as fujoshis), there are many male gay and bisexual people (and some even self-identified straight people) who also participate in its consumption,

Similarly to the above two sub-categories where feminine features are mixed with homosexual aspects, within many anime communities, many male consumers of Yaoi may often have shifted at least partially away from traditional anime hentai to find interest in more androgynous anime boys often with some feminine characteristics as preferable, similarly, some may find shota (the male equivalent of Loli) as desirable despite the fact shotas typically have traditionally few masculine features and sometimes even are shown to crossdress. Although these standards of male attractiveness tend to be seen as highly unrealistic for most real men, and many male consumers of BL (typically referred to as "fudanshis") may often be bisexual or even identify as straight in real life due to the significant difference between typical androgynous anime boys and actual men who often don't meet said standards

One could argue that Yaoi is based and very similar to the two above sub-categories or that they could be apart of a natural progression of interest where for example an avid porn addict (such as a Weebcel who watches hentai) may start slowly skewing away from tradition hentai doujins and begin experimenting with consuming with more niche content, such as futanari and slowly start progressing to femboys and then straight on Yaoi as the consumer becomes more comfortable with certain male attributes which can be argued to make people more likely to identify as bisexual or gay. This might hold some water as some sources imply that the more porn you watch the more likely you are to be bisexual

Men who tend to avoid androgynous males or typical gender dynamics and focus on relationships of more hyper-masculine hunky males in media like Bara are often separate from the above and can be considered their own sub-type who are often typically more likely to identify as fully or mostly gay which can be noted due to their lack of any feminine features in characters and tending to over emphasize their masculine traits.

Media Implications

In Western television, it is not uncommon for undesirable men to be portrayed as homosexuals. Oftentimes this follows racial patterns that are passed under the guise of liberal progressiveness, but instead wind up making minority characters gay. Oscar from 'The Office' comes to mind, or Guillermo from 'What we Do in the Shadows.' It is common for media to portray East Asian men as homosexuals, which may imply that the collective social conscience view East Asian men as involuntary celibates, thus more prone to homosexuality. This would mean that in the views of the social subconscious, homosexuality is an outlet for incels.

Gold Star Gays

The existence in the gay community of something called 'Gold Star Gays' is even among the LGBT crowd themselves, a lightning rod of controversy, and an oftentimes eschewed subject, may indicate that homosexuality is driven by failure with the opposite sex. According to Wikipedia, a '"gold star lesbian" is a lesbian who has never had sex with a man, and a "gold star gay" is a gay man who has never had sex with a woman." This implies that homosexuals by and large attempted to have relationships with the opposite gender, but due to incompatibility (in all likelihood a complete disparity in libido), switched over to the other side. The reason that this is a taboo subject in the LGBT community is because it implies that homosexuality may be driven by contempt for, if not failure with the opposite gender, which negates a lot the entire basis for LGBT's existence as a social movement; i.e., that they are 'born with it.' There is a lot of anecdotal evidence that the conflict between genders, namely between libidos, is responsible for a lot of the dissolution of heteronormative relationships. The fact that in social circles it is common for women to falsely claim they are 'bisexual' simply because they find men 'disgusting' (i.e., that men want sex, and they do not), or the fact that lesbian dead beath is the normative state of lesbian marriages while gay men have on average 1000s of partners, indicates that the natural evolution of libido disparities could possibly be homosexuality.

Barrack Obama

Former President Obama wrote letters while at Occidental College, presumably to a girlfriend, in which he mentioned having homosexual thoughts. He wrote that while he would never act on them, fantasizing about having sex with men helped him to escape the painful realities of life. This is a strange admission for a man with a girlfriend, so it could be assumed that they were in a non-sexual relationship (e.g., a dead bedroom), and that his sexual frustration and inceldom may have led him to wanting to escape into a realm where there was easy and constant sexual gratification - homosexuality. Again, due to libido disparities, it may be a result of men being unable to consummate with women, turning to homosexuality as a way to achieve sexual gratification.

Ancient Rome

Among hundreds of Ancient Roman writers, only Ovid wrote that having sex with a woman was better than having sex with a man. The Romans associated homosexuality with misogynist attitudes towards women, namely that women were too combative and demanded gifts too much, whereas with a boy or a man, sex was free and without conflict. According to Wikipedia, "Juvenal indicates the pusio was more desirable than women because he was less quarrelsome and would not demand gifts from his lover." While only anecdotal, the term 'pusio' sounds very similar to the term 'pussy.' The wording of this passage sounds oddly similar to the modern day complaints men have about women only caring about money, which may imply that men turn to other men for sexual gratification, realizing that women do not 'want it,' and only use men for their resources.

Trauma from Bad Marriages or Bad Maternal Relationships

It is entirely possible that trauma from bad marriages, which included personal conflict, nagging, dead bedrooms and financially devastating divorces, may encourage men to seek the company of other men instead. There are rumors in the gay community about married men frequenting gay bars and nightclubs. There are cases of two celebrities, having both been married twice to different women and involved in messy divorces, marrying each other. There are also theories that a young boy, witnessing the subtle or overt abuse that his mother lays on his father, as well as their dysfunctional, asexual relationship, may turn off a young male from women entirely, believing that intimacy and love from a woman may be impossible. Boys with a large number of sisters are also more likely to be gay, and this may be a result simply about having a first-hand look at the traumatic or revealing things that women say about men, that may make the male unable to believe that women love or desire men at all.

Arabic countries

It is rumored that in Arabic countries, where many men are priced out of a bride due to mass societal polygyny, that homosexual acts become relatively commonplace in private among males experiencing inceldom as a coping mechanism. It is also rumored that in certain Arabic terrorist organizations men dress as women and have sex with the other men, again as a cope for having no one to love.

YouTuber Getgle made a video that explained the basic gist of the homocel hypothesis, with his own bias. Warning, creepy homosexual evangelism contained therein:
