My understanding is that even in 996 they get way longer lunches than us.

Like you’re correct in that they’re not literally celibates, what that’s not really what “incel” means anymore in common context.
Report them and they’ll get banned, but that doesn’t really have anything to do with this thread.
I was on the sub, and here on chapo.chat’s first day, and yet this is my first comment on this account.
Not saying it’s the same case for the person you’re replying to, but account age isn’t necessarily “time spent on the site”.
Honestly couldn’t say. I know a fair number of people who still do it but I don’t want to extrapolate to wider society.
