why are incels frowned/hated upon?

Obviously I can understand why mysoginists are hated upon, As their belief is all women are trash or men are superior etc. But why are incels also generally hated upon? They are lacking in a way that makes them unable to gey in a relationship, but that shouldn't necessarily mean they are mysoginists, right?

What am I missing here? I haven't ever had a relationship with a woman, but I don't hate all women either. I just consider myself unlucky. Does that make me an incel?

Basically it's the mindset of the Chalmers meme that makes an incel.

Am I doing something that actively repulses women?

No, it's the women who are wrong

As long as you don't subscribe to this line of reasoning, you aren't an incel

Exactly. Incel is not another word for vergin, there are tons of vergins who aren't incels.

I’d argue that not being a virgin also doesn’t prevent you from becoming an incel. You just weren’t always one.
