People displaying incelphobia are deemed '''incelphobe''' or '''incelphobiac'''. Incelphobes usually believe in the {{Wikipedia|just world fallacy}}, and they sometimes express this antagonism through [[virgin-shaming]] against [[truecel]]s, [[cacophobia]] against [[uglycels]], and [[ableism]] against [[disabledcels]]. Incelphobia is sometimes called ''incelhatred'' and overlaps with [[anti-incel|anti-incelism]]. A person who holds incephobic beliefs, is an ''incelphobe'' or ''incelhater''. | |||
Virgin-shaming is usually directed against males because people often subconsciously evaluate men based on their sexual success. Incelphobes justify their incelphobia by suggesting that concepts such as the [[blackpill]] or [[red pill]] are sexist, but they're silent when women such as [[Catherine Hakim]] say practically the exact same thing. The most self-conscious incels, when becoming "[[incel toms]]", sometimes parrot incelphobic behavious. | Virgin-shaming is usually directed against males because people often subconsciously evaluate men based on their sexual success.

The term incelphobia is a portmanteau that uses "phobia" as a suffix. Since "phobia" alludes to an irrational fear, the term incelphobia only incorporates irrational forms of aversion to [[involuntary celibate]] people. Therefore this does not include a fear of individuals such as [[Elliot Rodger]]. However, [[inceldom]]-experiencers online (sometimes called [[cybercel]]s or [[incelospherian]]s) often face incelphobia even if they do not harbour any ill-natured tendencies. This may include [[gravedancing]] and [[broadbrushing]], or for [[mancel]]s/[[malecel]],s issues such as [[androheterophobia]]. | The term incelphobia is a portmanteau that uses "phobia" as a suffix.

*[[ | Among the most common traits of the incelphobe is promotion of [[inceldom]]-erasure or inceldom-invisibility. The incelphobe uses various tricks up their sleeve to ensure that public awareness about inceldom or its meaning remains obscure by the tactic of obfuscation around the definition of the word ''inceldom''. Obfuscation is a form of [[gaslighting]], and in the context of inceldom, involves the tendency to ignore, remove, falsify, or reexplain characteristics associated with involuntary celibates. The most flagrant example of obfuscation is the insistence that inceldom does not exist; that involuntary celibates are just imagining their loneliness and unintentional celibacy. | ||
