iirc the term incel was actually coined as part of a support group for folks that struggled to date; I have a vague memory of an interview with the lady who's credited with it's Genesis, and how she was shocked at where it ended up.
Some namesakes remain, for example Reddit's r/ForeverAloneDating where people who haven't had much experience (if any) can make posts to solicit potential e-dates. Although the balance is skewed toward men, there are a good number of women posting there too, and it has nothing to do with incel/blackpill crap.
