Incel movement

The incel movement consists of individuals who identify as "involuntary celibates," meaning they feel unable to find romantic or sexual partners despite wanting to. Often sharing online communities, some incels express frustration and resentment toward people they perceive as more successful in relationships, sometimes blaming societal factors or specific groups. While many seek understanding or connection, some rhetoric has been linked to hostility, and in rare cases, violence. The movement highlights issues around loneliness, social isolation, and gender dynamics, but it is important to recognize that the majority of those who identify as incels do not endorse harmful actions.
