As I’ve already suggested, it’s a mistake to think that incels are primarily motivated by sex. Not only are some incels also interested in love (or some outward simulacrum thereof), but their interest in having sex with “Staceys” is at least partly a means to an end—the end being to beat the “Chads” at their own game. Sex thus promises to soothe these men’s inferiority complexes, at least as much as to satisfy their libidos.
