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.

    Tbh at this point calling yourself an incel because you’re involuntary celibate is like calling yourself a homophobe because you’re scared of gay people. Technically accurate, but do you really wanna go there?

      Lmao I had a hard time picturing an actual homophobe but that’s funny.

      For the example to work, they’d have to be gay allies at the same time, and trying to imagine that is even funnier.
