There's a useful "Manosphere" glossary on RationalWiki that helps to understand slang terms better amongst such "incels" along with related groups - none of which are healthy.
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Manosphere_glossary
A few - very few mind you - men that are caught up in the whole "incel" subculture can have a genuine grievance from something in the area of being bullied, low self-esteem, a past traumatic experience etc. and to be honest such "incel" communities are the last place they really need to go to for help. But the vast majority of them are just whiny boys/men with a high level of self-entitlement and a low level of self-awareness. Couple that in a few cases with mental health issues and you can have a big problem on your hands. Reddit kicked out the main "incel" group a few months ago and with Reddit being Reddit, your subreddit had to be a really shitty place for it to get the boot.
We Hunted The Mammoth and Fundies Say The Darnedest Things are both good resources that capture the best/worst of "Manosphere" insanity. Not surprisingly there is a lot of crossover with the alt-right particularly with support for Tr*mp.
