Former incel

Categories: Former incels

A '''former incel''' is someone who has [[Deincelization|ascended]] from [[inceldom]], or has decided to no longer regard himself as an incel but rather as a [[volcel]]. Such people, when highly publicized, are usually regarded in the [[incelosphere]] as cynical publicity [[Whore|whores]] trying to use the incel phenomenon for personal gain (as a way of [[Statusmaxx|obtaining status]], attention, [[Moneymaxxing|money]], [[Vagina|pussy]], etc.), or as delusional [[Cuckoldry|cucks]] who refuse to acknowledge the truth of their situation.

Often, articles about "former incels" do not contain any assertion that the person has actually obtained [[Copulation|sex]]. For example, a Mel Magazine article notes, "Commenter Outrageous_Claims explains how taking a long, hard look at his life helped him blossom from an incel to a solid dude" but does not say that this solid dude has been [[Romantic idealization|romantically]] or sexually successful.<ref>https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/how-the-ex-incels-of-reddit-found-salvation</ref>
