Incelphobia

Categories: Incelphobia

'''Incelphobia''' is a form of [[ableism]] and [[Anti-incels|anti-incel sentiment]] usually characterized by hatred, fear, antagonism or aversion towards [[truecel]]s, [[incel]]s or [[nearcel]]s. The contrary of incelphobia is [[incelophilia]].

Incelphobia related behavior and people displaying incelphobia are deemed '''incelphobic''', '''incelphobe''' or '''incelphobiac'''. Incelphobes usually believe in the {{Wikipedia|just world fallacy}}, and they sometimes express this antagonism through [[virgin-shaming]] against [[truecel]]s, [[cacophobia]] against [[uglycels]], and [[ableism]] against [[disabledcels]]. Incelphobia is sometimes called ''incelhatred'' and overlaps with [[anti-incel|anti-incelism]]. A person who holds incephobic beliefs, is an ''incelphobe'' or ''incelhater''.

Virgin-shaming is usually directed against males because people often subconsciously evaluate men based on their sexual success. Incelphobes justify their incelphobia by suggesting that concepts such as the [[blackpill]] or [[red pill]] are sexist, but they're silent when women such as [[Catherine Hakim]] say practically the exact same thing. The most self-conscious incels, when becoming "[[incel toms]]", sometimes parrot incelphobic behavious.

Antipathy toward incelphobes or incelphobia, or both, is called [[incelphobophobia]].
==Financial==
[[Inceldom]]-experiencers (and other [[Celibates|singletons]]) are sometimes discriminated against financially. In the UK, research by the Good Housekeeping Institute estimates that singletons pay £2000 more per year than married and cohabitating people on everything from car insurance, council tax, travel fares, wills and many other costs. The difference is even more lopsided in the United States wherein involuntary celibates are especially discriminated against in healthcare payments.
==Broadest sense==
In its broadest sense, the usage of the term ''incelphobia'' incorporates a wide range of behaviors. in its broadest usage, incelphobia within the [[dating]] scene is referred to as [[nonredamancy]], which means romantic rejection. Nonredamancy most prominently affects [[truecel]]s and [[nymphocel]]s the former because its all they ever experience, the latter because they desire a romantic or sexual outlet so much. In its broadest sense, incelphobia can come in many different forms, including [[cacophobia]] against deformed [[inceldom]]-experiencers, [[lookism]] against unattractive incels, [[hybristophilia]] against good-mannered involuntary celibates and [[ableism]] against involuntary celibates with a disability. 
==Online==
The term incelphobia is a portmanteau that uses "phobia" as a suffix. Since "phobia" alludes to an irrational fear, the term incelphobia only incorporates irrational forms of aversion to [[involuntary celibate]] people. Therefore this does not include a fear of individuals such as [[Elliot Rodger]]. However, [[inceldom]]-experiencers online (sometimes called [[cybercel]]s or [[Incelosphere|incelospherian]]s) often face incelphobia even if they do not harbour any ill-natured tendencies. This may include [[gravedancing]] and [[broadbrushing]], or for [[mancel]]s/[[malecel]],s issues such as [[androheterophobia]]. 
==Obfuscation==
Among the most common traits of the incelphobe is promotion of [[inceldom]]-erasure or inceldom-invisibility. The incelphobe uses various tricks up their sleeve to ensure that public awareness about inceldom or its meaning remains obscure by the tactic of obfuscation around the definition of the word ''inceldom''. Obfuscation is a form of [[gaslighting]], and in the context of inceldom, involves the tendency to ignore, remove, falsify, or reexplain characteristics associated with involuntary celibates. The most flagrant example of obfuscation is the insistence that inceldom does not exist; that involuntary celibates are just imagining their loneliness and unintentional celibacy.
