Incel. Why is it okay for people to call others this?

[George Washington]

You don't know anything about someone's personal life, and there's a reason it's called private. Why is it normal now to call people Incel, and then talk about them like they're a movement. I would think calling someone "incel" would be an instant ban on a forum that is 13 and up. Calling someone part of a movement of involuntarily celibate people is slander and Valve should be held responsible for publishing it.

Buddy arnt you the guy who complained about too many female characters in payday 3 as if it’s some massive problem?

What else should people call you when you say cringe like that?

Steams list of banned/'profanity' words have not been updated in over a year or two. If you feel strongly about this, open a ticket with Steam and they'll update it.

They mainly ban words that are overall offensive and put the socially acceptable ones behind a filter.


(edit: decided to delete the filter address')

There have been a few added and a couple removed in the last year.

No one has to name people anything, but many don't want to use their mind as it actively uses energy and effort.
Plus some have had enough.

Some are habitually on the internet all the time and have no life so suffer from burnout and use the internet as some ground where they think they are better than too.

A name can cause an emotional reaction in the other, so by this both are not using their minds to begin with but are actively using ego to fight each other, lack of intelligence or the above where some are just burnt out.

its a pretty cute attempt to try to insult someone.

but well, you need a thick skin and wide shoulders for life. internet is no different =p

if the internet make you too angry, its time to disconnect for a while bro.

There are countless articles about a growing threat of some "incel movement" ... this is misandry and everyone in law enforcement and the tech community pushing it should be fired

It's not an insult. They coined and adopted the term for themselves.

No to be fair it is warranted, Elliot Rodger is one of the early ones.

terms like manosphere and incel are made up by women and idiots to insult and defame others.
