Isn’t it 180 from that. The term incel is one developed online by toxic young men dealing with their lack of romantic success through misogynistic ideology. And it’s not really something that changed in recent years but is many years old.

There are plenty of people who can deal with finding sex and romantic relationships hard who are not incels.

Co-opted, rather than developed, but that's a minor detail.
