Coinage
The phrase "involuntary celibate", later shortened to "invcel" and then "incel", is reported to have been coined by a Canadian college student named Alana in 1993 or 1997, when she created a website in order to discuss her sexual inactivity with others.[8][16][17][18] The website, titled "Alana's Involuntary Celibacy Project",[8] was used by people of all genders to share posts about the topic. The abbreviation of incel originated from INVCEL, which was the name of a mailing list she started in 1997 for involuntary celibacy.[19] During her college career and after, she realized she was queer, and became more comfortable with her identity. She later gave the site to a stranger. After reading about the 2014 Isla Vista killings, she wrote, "Like a scientist who invented something that ended up being a weapon of war, I can't uninvent this word, nor restrict it to the nicer people who need it."[18] Alana expressed regret at the change in usage, with her original intention being to create an "inclusive community" for men and women who were sexually deprived due to social awkwardness, marginalization or mental illness.[20]
