It makes no sense now to act like it still has the old meaning

I mean, yes, there's no sense in refusing to acknowledge the present association, but the meanings of words can change, and it isn't impossible for the term 'incel' to return to it's former meaning if enough people are made aware of its history.

r/ForeverAlone seems to fit the original meaning of incel

Edit: I know that sub from a friend...
