(Usually) young men who identify themselves as 'involuntarily celibate' and it's an online subculture.
Their identity is based around self-loathing and a belief that they are [i]intrinsically and unchangeably[/i] unfuckable and there is nothing they can ever do to be desirable to a woman.
Tied into this are some really toxic and fucked up ideas about women and how women will only date at their level or up. The really hardcore incel areas are full of really hateful anti-woman stuff, and a few incels have gone on killing sprees.
They feel like they do because if you feel rejected, alone, and sad, and find other people who can give you an easy explanation as to why it's easy to spiral down into that world.

@CountScrofula This. It's an incredibly toxic mindset.
