The term "incel" often means different things to different people, leading to confusion, that being said the [[incelosphere]] can not be accurately described as a political movement. It can't even be described solely as a subculture or a collection of [[incel community|communities]], since there are considerable amount of self-identified incels who are not part of any incel forum or group. Therefore, incels do not share a belief system, especially not those who do not self-identify as incels. For some academics, self-identified incels and this wiki, the word refers to the literal circumstance of being celibate against one's will. However, to mainstream communities, "incel" often refers to a hateful [[misogynist]] and/or an involuntarily celibate person who is part of an online community of hateful misogynists.<ref>https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/incel</ref> This often leads [[Normie|normies]] to believe that self-identified incels use the term as an outward display of hate, whereas actual self-identified incels often use the term in a self-deprecating or self-defeating manner.
