No mass murderers have been users of incel forums. Neither [[4chan]] nor [[PUAhate]] have self-identified as incel forums, even though incels may frequent them. Current major incel internet forums are: [[Incels.co]], [[Facebook's Incelistan]], [[Incelistan.net]], [[Love-shy dot com|love-shy.com]], [[Incelswithouthate]], and [[Foreveralone]]. Roughly [[demographics of inceldom#Numbers|15-30% of American men between the ages of 18-30 are incels]]. | No mass murderers have been users of incel forums.

In the incelosphere, there is dispute about whether the original definition provided in Donnelly Study, as adults who fail to find a sexual partner for ''six months or more'' despite active efforts, is appropriate. [[Bluepill|Bluepillers]] argue in bad faith about such definitions, and say male incels could simply have gay sex and therefore they are [[volcel|volcels]]. Hence, a definition in good faith would include an addition that incels are adults who are overwhelmingly rejected by the sex they are sexually attracted to. | |||
Because the definition of incel is wonky, it may be better to characterize inceldom as a collection of shared experiences that are worth highlighting. | Because the definition of incel is wonky, it may be better to characterize inceldom as a collection of shared experiences that are worth highlighting. | ||
