Is it simply: involuntarily celibate, or does it come with a package?

To me, “incel” has always meant someone who’s simply just celibate against their will, but it feels like the term now also implies a specific worldview or even a subculture. Does identifying as an incel automatically come with those negative beliefs around gender and society, or should those two have separate terms? Has the definition changed?"

    There is no 100% scientific consensus on the definition of incel, therefore I don’t believe in their existence.
