Description

Rules of engagement are simple and as follows:

- Round one will consist of opening arguments. Rounds 2 and 3 are for rebuttal and development. Final round is for closing statements, and no new points should be introduced.

-This debate intends to challenge the definition of incel, so no specific definition will be put in place as reference. Both Pro and Con will loosely use the Wikipedia page of incels to gauge their own definitions, as long as it is not grossly inaccurate (which will be determined through voting phase). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incel

- Failure to comply with these rules results in loss of a conduct point.

Interesting debate idea, shame that con is forfeiting

I know, i think wikipedias definition is wrong

@Dr.Franklin

The definition is stripped right out of Wikipedia, and the definition is up for debate anyway.

Yeah. There seems to be some misrepresentation about the mindsets that unite incels.
The sole two unifying factors of contemporary inceldom are:
1. That they are men who either have experienced rejection from women or believe that they would be rejected
2. That said rejection constitutes an injustice against them which ought to be responded to with hostility or aggression against women in general.

It's commonly claimed that incels feel entitled to sex or relationships with abnormally attractive women. While I'm sure this is true in some cases, it's not definitionally true. Many incels, being average men, may be content if a similarly average woman accepted them as a relationship partner, but they either lack the self-confidence to give this a try or are so caught up in the incel bubble that they consider it beneath themselves to have to be the one to ask (which, IMO, is not such an unfair thing for men to expect, it just isn't reality).

Oh Fuckity Catfish You just tipped off my entire argument!!!!! lol.

incles definition is wrong, incels are toxic men who hate all women because they cant get laid and will go to extreme lengths to get a gf

if you are a normal human being your just ugly

The problem with Incels is they're not sending their best...

Anyway, a definition of "bad person" might be useful, even with Incel being open to interpretation.
