Don't know if there's was a dead horse already but some how I don't think the basement dwelling incels are the biggest threat to women, that would require them to leave their house . Toxic Chad who doesn't live being told no sounds more likely candidate.
Seems though to me like incel just seems to be the internet's favorite catch-all insult for any misogynists.
Hell, this particular killer had the social skills to lure the women to a secluded area before assaulting them. A basement dweller wouldn't even be capable of that, he'd set off alarms right away.
There are photos of him with women on top of him having a confirmed ex, he was clearly socially functional, he's just a terrible person.

Most police organizations world wide file the entire "red pill, black pill, etc" as part of the incel umbrella.
It's a bit bizarre since PUA/alpha male/red pill stuff heavily predates the incel stuff and the types of crimes the two groups commit often differ. Basically none of the openly incel-aligned mass murderers have ever done any sexual assaults (Tate-style crimes), for example.

No, I just see them as different factions of the same hateful ideology.
That's basically the case. They're all part of the "manosphere" in which every corner is focused purely on men's interests to the exclusion or detriment of women. I guess I'm just trying to say that "incels" are merely a subset of the group, rather than the whole thing or even majority of it. Painting them as the entirety dangerously takes focus off of socially competent predators, who statistically pose more of a risk to women.
The guy cheering on atrocities for the incel revolution and the guy spamming "free Tate" on social media are actually (usually) very different types with seperate MOs. The former is more likely to target large groups at random, while the latter is more likely to harm specific women. The killer the topic refers to didn't fit the general incel profile, so I wasn't surprised when I discovered he wasn't one.
Basically it's easier to be on guard with accurately detailed pictures of the threat models.
