Something I’ve always wondered is what kind of women were in the lives of incel men when they were young. Did they have a bad relationship with their mother? Did they lack sisters or other female family members? Or is their family situation irrelevant? Maybe some particular situation in their early years caused them to develop a complex around women?

    An incel is someone who has been rejected by all women. They are undesirable and are not intelligent enough or wealthy enough to be attractive.

    Usually this person is hateful with little or no emotional intelligence. They could be self absorbed or narcissistic. They blame everyone (mostly women) but themselves for all their faults and mistakes.

    Classic examples from pop culture include:

    Hal Stewart (Tighten) from Megamind

    The Phantom from The Phantom of the Opera

    Agent 47 from the Hitman series

    Squidward from SpongeBob SquarePants

    Claude Frollo from the Hunchback of Notre Dame

    Richard III from Shakespeare

    Lord Farquaad from Shrek
