Much like radical identity politicking Twitter users, the cultural impact and attention-getting of "incels" far exceeds their actual frequency in the population

Much like radical identity politicking Twitter users, the cultural impact and attention-getting of "incels" far exceeds their actual frequency in the population, and is frequently magnified for the purposes of scaremongering. It's not rare for radfems to cry "incel" whenever someone has a complaint about the new libertinism, just as it isn't rare for #metoo opponents to complain about "cancel culture" when someone gets in trouble for committing an actual crime. The vast majority of people have more quotidian difficulties. The fact that liberal tabloids and influencers are eager to refer to rich and famous men as "incels" when they obviously can't be reveals that the word is just an insult in many cases, not a product of a serious analysis of society.
