Fakecels are individuals who claim to be incels/femcels but are not genuinely celibate or marginalized. Instead, they use the incel label for attention, victimhood, or to fit into online communities that glorify male frustration and hate. Most self-identified incels in modern spaces are fakecels: men who either have access to sex or reject realistic sexual opportunities due to inflated egos, entitlement, or internalized misogyny.
