    I dislike throwing the description “incel” around as a slur. You don’t know them! They might have sex, we unfortunately don’t know who they are. I don’t have sex and never had, even tough I would like to, but that doesn’t make me a Police officer let alone one kidnapping people from the streets!

      “incel” means more than just “can’t have sex”

      Sorry for your situation but I’ll be insulting people with it, especially crybaby conservative men. And especially ICE agents.

        “An incel (a portmanteau of “involuntary celibate”[1]) is a member of an online subculture of mostly male and heterosexual[2] people who define themselves as unable to find a romantic or sexual partner despite desiring one. They often blame, objectify, and denigrate women and girls as a result” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incel

        Its really the wrong Insult! Use an appropriate insult that really means something about them and what they are doing. Like fascist, Gestapo Nazi scum or something like that.

          Except those people don’t find Nazi ass an insult. They do not like being called out in what they view as a lack of a masculine trait. If your insult doesn’t bother the target, it’s a shitty insult.

            Then say something like “ICE groups tries to overcompensate their lack of real masculinity by using weapons and punches against one handcuffed guy”

          OK, look: You’re being so willfully obtuse and pedantic that I have to wonder whether you’re also an incel
