The online incel community has taken a break from blaming women for their ongoing failures in life to issue a collective tantrum over Netflix’s new drama Adolescence, which dares—dares, mind you—to portray incel culture as the toxic, rage-filled echo chamber it so demonstrably is.

I had no idea that incel was a term that people used to self-identify.

I thought it was only a slur.

It became an insult as a direct consequence of the incel community being as hateful and toxic as it is. As an insult term it doesn't actually have anything to do with not getting sex at all
