There is no single, overarching "'''incel community'''". [[Incels]] do not make a single community any more than, for example, [[Trannymaxxing|transexual]] people are a single community. Rather, incels are a very diverse spectrum of individuals which composes the [[incelosphere]]. | There is no single, overarching "'''incel community'''".

You may argue incels are a class of people, as you can arrange anyone into a theoretical class, but incels are not an organization. | You may argue incels are a class of people, as you can arrange anyone into a theoretical class, but incels are not an organization. | ||
The qualification of what defines an incels is debated. The [[Donnelly study]] considers an involuntarily celibate person is someone who for six months or more was unable to find a willing partner to have [[sex]] with despite trying. | |||

The [[fakestream]] media often disingenuously tries to paint incel people as a terroristic singular community, by capitalizing "incel" as "Incel" outside the start of a sentence. Or pretending incel is an acronym, like "INCEL", to take advantage the fact that the word "incel" is accidentally linguistically similar to the word "ISIS", to provoke fear of involuntary celibates. Essentially, those are sophisticated forms of involuntary [[virgin shaming]]. Of course, anyone spelling "Incel" with a capital "I" or "INCEL" in capital letters is not a problem for most incels, but those media often use those spellings with a malicious intent. | The [[fakestream]] media often disingenuously tries to paint incel people as a terroristic singular community, by capitalizing "incel" as "Incel" outside the start of a sentence.
