For this wiki, an incel is someone who would be rejected by the vast majority of the single members of the gender they are attracted to in spaces socially designated for dating if they tried, for at least a few years.  [[Ton den Boon|The first lexicographer to define "incel"]], described it as a gender-neutral life circumstance rather than a subculture. Its unabbreviated form was coined in 1739 by [[Antoine Banier]] in his book on ancient Greek mythology.

For comparison, surveys on Reddit of the general userbase tend to show 80% white users overall.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/TheoryOfReddit/comments/3dct7x/why_is_reddit_so_white/</ref> Thus we can approximate that the typical Reddit population is 1.4-3.6 times more white than incel groups.
