This is an interesting phenomenon that could not have occurred before the Internet existed and could bring these people together.
The "incels" think they flop with women because they're physically unattractive, but I think most of them don't really have that problem. Alex Minassian looked normal, and Elliot Rodger wasn't bad looking. I think it's much more a matter of their being socially inept, of their having no idea what kind of impression they make. Besides, I've seen butt-ugly hoodlums who snagged attractive women right and left, simply because many women are attracted to that sort. Minassian and Rodger would have had plenty of women if they had been hoodlums.
In any case, we've all known men who were "incels." And now some of them are angry and are demanding to be noticed.
