I mean, considering that the term "Incel" is a contraction of "Involuntary Celibate" the word isn't technically being misused here.
Still, your comment is technically valid as since the term's inception it has slowly begun to be used to exclusively refer to a subset of online individuals with a distinct pattern of behaviors and beliefs characterized by absurdly low self-esteem, a severely warped view of reality, a bizarre sense of entitlement and an irrational and extreme distrust and disdain for members of the opposite sex.
Therefore, the real issue presented by your comment is the lack of a simple and efficient term to distinguish between the deranged ones and the relatively normal people who are simply unsuccessful in their pursuit of companionship without possessing any of the unscrupulous characteristics or insanity of the former.
