Noun. A.K.A. involuntary celibate. A person who consciously desires to have sexual intercourse but is incapable of getting it for a variety of reasons that may or may not fall within his/her reasonable locus of control. Despite being widely used by holders and haters alike, this is a term that doesn't describe the full extent of the issues that self-identified "incels" struggle with. Most self-identified male incels reference the existence of a "black pill" (genetic determinism), which is more related to the reasoning, behind a sexually fulfilling life for males, being factors outside their reasonable locus of control (e.g. height, bone structure, race, dick size, etc.). This flies in contrast with ideological frameworks like the "blue pill" (complete and total blissful ignorance) and the "red pill" (behavioral determinism). Despite what many haters or "anti-incels" may say, incel (condition) does not necessarily equal the black pill (ideological framework). As such, many "anti-incels" or "former incels" may be incels themselves, especially if they're male. These people are usually referred to as "incels-in-denial".
