'''[[Incel]]''' is an academic sociological term that is short for '''involuntary celibate''' or '''involuntary celibacy''' (also called "inceldom"), an [[adverse effects of inceldom|adverse]] life circumstance. An analogy many incels often find elucidating would be comparing the state of lifelong inceldom to other common adverse life circumstances, such as [[Pauper|poverty]]. | '''[[Incel]]''' is an academic sociological term that is short for '''involuntary celibate''' or '''involuntary celibacy''' (also called "inceldom"), an [[adverse effects of inceldom|adverse]] life circumstance.

Inceldom was recognized in academia, as a sociological phenomenon in the landmark [[Donnelly Study]], published in 2001. Many further peer-reviewed academic papers have since been written, portraying involuntary celibacy as a (mostly) adverse life circumstance rather than exclusively describing a specific internet subculture. | Inceldom was recognized in academia, as a sociological phenomenon in the landmark [[Donnelly Study]], published in 2001.

Current prominent incel forums include: [[Incels.is]], [[love-shy.net]], [[Incels.win]], and [[Foreveralone|/r/foreveralone]]. No mass-shooters or other criminals identified by the media as 'incels', or that self-described as such, are known to have been members of any online community explicitly devoted to involuntary celibacy. Some of these individuals had used online communities such as [[4chan]], [[PUAhate]] and [[/r/MGTOW]] which were not/are not communities dedicated to involuntarily celibacy. | Current prominent incel forums include: [[Incels.is]], [[love-shy.net]], [[Incels.win]], and [[Foreveralone|/r/foreveralone]].
