You can search the internet archive for some of the posts that were on /r/incels before the sub was taken down, it was mostly funny dark humor memes posted. I saw little to no violence on the sub which the news media seems to have taken as their headline....sure you might have one or two posters showing up but I don't think that opinion was shared by most and those users could have been banned if the mod team wanted.
Incels are men who have poor face bone structure and frustrated that things they were told that personality trumps looks isn't true, they had experiments on /r/incels where they'd put model pictures up as their tinder or dating profile and act extremely racist, bigoted, mean but still be offered opportunity to hang out with women. It was called the Atomic blackpill, picture is out there online of that.
I don't consider myself an incel, i'm not desperate to be with a women especially after digesting mgtow and redpill material; you get a different worldview of male/female relationships and the version of females represented in media gets tarnished by reality (which i think is a good thing actually, explanation ahead).
I think what drove people like Elliot Rodger and George Sodini to hurt other people was actually the peer pressure by Media and peers saying you're a loser if you don't have a girlfriend, you're incomplete if you don't have a women and it looks like they tried the best way they knew to get a girlfriend or woman (Soldini has videos attending pickup artist conventions) but both got extremely frustrated they couldn't achieve what they were told they needed to have and did terrible things because of it.
I think MGTOW and maybe redpill material is actually the answer to negate similar bad outcomes. It diminishes the craving for something you are told you need to have or you're not worthy...how it does that i can answer if you're interested

I did see the tinder experiment, woman do lie though about looks being second. Looks do matter for both genders. Good looks open the door for dating, then it's based off personality. I think this is how woman trick themselves into thinking looks don't matter.
I think what does annoy me about them is they can't tell that woman have very different interest than men. Yes woman do like shopping and they think guys who play too much video games as bad also.

Yeah, the incel thing is just kind of...sad. If my ugly ass is happily married and pulled a bunch of beautiful women over the years (and one uggo wtf was I thinking), then most of these dudes can find something. If the dude I work with has had girlfriends, than fucks sake, these "incel" dudes have almost no excuse. Sure you're not going to land some 10/10 unless you're loaded. I was shy and shit back in the day myself. Didn't have much self confidence, and I'm highly critical of myself to this day. Just stop giving a fuck about some things, and you'll do better in life. Stop wallowing in self pity. Get the fuck off Facebook. These dudes can get by if they even start trying.

MGTOW is more the opposite of feminists overall. Incel is more like the opposite of the fat ugly middle aged women complaining about how the hot young rich men don't want them and then using the "strong independent woman who don't need no man" shit to excuse it.

I think feminism is far more like MGTOW than incel, but I am far from well verse with either incel or MGTOW.

no, they choose to sperg out in exactly the same way as incels and tell stories about beating the shit out of them being manly. they just dont pretend to be 'involuntarily celibate'

They're reciprocals; the incels would fuck the feminists, but not vice versa.
