Is the term "incel" being overused?

@swirlydragon this thread is a good example of why the word is used and flat out crudeness of people pushing it.

Sad as it is, suicide was probably the correct choice.

Why do you believe that?
Perhaps, some girl might have shown interest in him in the future? I mean, he was only 20.
Or maybe in the future, he might lose interest in having a relationship and found out something else that he loves?
Or there's also a possibilty of him being so busy with future responsibilities that he wouldn't have the time to think about something else?
I believe he was just mentally challenged or was very depressed. He needed someone (male or female) in his life to cheer him up. Someone (like a friend) with whom he'd be able to discuss his problems. As you grow older, your personality also changes. You find new problems and forget about the old ones as if they were just some trivial things. You never know the future and what's waiting for you ahead. Even if it's something bad or good.

tbh I didn't know what 'incel' meant/was or had even heard of it until a few months ago, when @Sonal1988 explained it to me.

I don't know about the term being 'overused', but I definitely buy into the fact that there is a certain classification of people on the internet that definitely fit the description of it.

There's definitely a chance that this would have happened. Sometimes people get lucky and stumble across the right people, and sometimes they change their attitudes and manage to find the strength to change their situations by themselves.

This is true for every depressed person, but the odds differ depending on what sort of depression you have. This guy had a very bad combination.


First off, he was antisocial. In his suicide note he calls for violence against innocent people. That sort of behavior usually doesn't sit well with people that want to help him.
The whole incel ideology is pretty deadly trap, because not only does it make you miserable, it also makes you push every single person that wants to help you. If you view every single person through the lens of "chad, normie, roastie, incel", you've become a very repulsive person and the girl that would have been willing to help you otherwise will very quickly move on and spend her energy on someone else.
The only "friends" you can realistically make at that stage are people who think and behave like you, echo every single sentiment of yours and otherwise put up with your shit. As you can probably tell, that's not very helpful. In fact, it only amplifies shitty attitudes and as a result pushes you away even further from anyone that actually wants to help. That's inceldom.

Secondly, his psychosis.
That's the main reason. Take one look at this and tell me that it's not over for him. He would have been on meds for the rest of his life. Seems like all that stress awakened something in him.



Of course it's still possible that he could have gotten better. I'm not saying that it's impossible, just that it's unlikely.

what does incel even mean i'm too lazy to google

Kuroko-chan said:


Compressing the whole definition, incels basically means ugly men who thinks women owe them sex.
Those people are basically a small part of the society's cancer.

Never ever seen that word used, peoples using incel must be the same as non-binarys & feminits.

you know that yomiyuki obsessively posts threads about his creepy obsession with physical appearance, and that's a very incel thing to do
