#1 This Is What A Real Chad Looks Like, What A Chad Move
Incels—short for involuntary celibates—are not guys who simply weren’t hit by Cupid's love-infused arrow. Their lack of success in forming relationships is accompanied by displaying strong hostility towards women, blaming them for most, if not all, of their problems.
They believe that females hold too much power when it comes to sex and all things romantic, and loathe them if rejected. The antipathy is bluntly expressed not only through the content of their messages but the vocabulary they use as well.

Femoid is one of the common derogatory terms, used among incels to dehumanize women. By using the compound of the words female humanoid, they portray girls as monstrous objects, this way trying to vindicate their hate and violence. According to them, women believe to be superior to others, which makes victimizing men one of the main recurring topics among the members.
Another word the disgruntled bunch uses to describe the representatives of the fair sex is Stacy. In their world, she is a very attractive woman, whom they desire and despise at once. They complain about never being able to attract a Stacy because they always go for Chads—another stereotype-infused caricature presenting a type of guy women arguably like.
Red Pill and Black Pill might also be terms unfamiliar to people outside the group. They are used for categorization of incels based on their beliefs. Referring to the pills from The Matrix, the red one means awakening of some sort, which in their case is the realization that “women hold the higher ground” in social and romantic situations.
Blackpill incels agree with the Red Pill mentality for the most part. The main difference is that the former group believes that only change in society as a whole can help in their situation. They believe that women choose partners based only on their looks, which are pre-determined, making any personal effort in seducing a lady or changing your ways pointless.

Despite the split into two groups, incels are actually part of an even larger unit. They all belong to the Manosphere—a network of misogynistic communities. Some examples include the MRA (men's-rights activists), MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way), and PUA (pick-up artists). These communities might differ in the severity of their statements and views, yet are all led by similar conspiracy theories and fueled by hate.
Incels, as most groups in the Manosphere, turn to the internet to share their beliefs, thoughts, and grievances. Center For Countering Digital Hate revealed that one of the main forums of the involuntary celibate receives around 2.6 million visits every month, generated by roughly 17,000 users. Some people are more vocal than others, as the majority of posts (nearly 75%) are generated by a group of 400 most active users.
Male supremacy groups are not the only ones using the internet for spreading hate speech. Due to easy access to an abundance of communication platforms, nearly anyone can release their toxins into the online world. ADL’s 2021 survey revealed that 41% of respondents in the US have experienced some form of harassment online.
ADL’s survey also revealed some shocking statistics considering the way hate speech and threats are taken care of by online mediums. After people received physical threats online, only 14% of the sinister content has been deleted and only 17% of the accounts that spread it have been blocked by the platforms. However, by joining forces tech companies and regulators could likely ameliorate the situation.
