As in, don't get sucked into it.

You really don't know what you're talking about. It's actually a thing and you seem weirdly defensive.

For her book on the global attack on reproductive rights, Sian Norris joined incel forums. What she found was disturbing

No, how about you don't know WTF you're talking about?

Are NOT involuntary and unable synonymous based upon the plain meaning of words and the self-identification that INCELS admit to?

Sorry but the incel movement is well documented. There was a reddit sub dedicated to the community about 10 years ago, and it started out as a support group but quickly became a misogynistic hate and harassment den. It was shut down right around the Gamergate nonsense which incels used as a license to doxx and harass women. Incels now post on 8chan or kun or whatever the fuck it's called. If you want to pretend it's not real you're free to do so.

Reddit bans 'involuntarily celibate' community
9 November 2017

Social website Reddit has banned a controversial subreddit dedicated to "involuntarily celibate" men, known as incels.

The 41,000-strong community was ostensibly a support group for men who wanted to have sex, but found themselves unable to form romantic relationships.

Over time, the group became a repository of misogynistic abuse, rape threats and febrile discussion of "Chads" - men apparently not afflicted by incels' sexual insufficiency.

Some posts on the forum have glorified Elliot Rodger, a man who killed six people in a 2014 California rampage after publishing a "manifesto" detailing his hatred of women.
