Incels don’t just talk shit about women online. Some of them act out their misogyny in real life. A few, like Elliot Rodger and Alek Minassian, resort to murderous violence; others take out their hatred of women in more subtle but still deeply unsettling ways.

Incels insist that it’s their looks — not their off-putting personalities, not their obvious bitterness, not their utterly terrible views on women — that drive away the women of the world and prevent them from getting the sex they deserve, while handsome Chads can act like creepy weirdos and still score with the hottest HBs.
