Labeling/Shaming is a powerful weapon.
By putting individuals into a group with a label on it, you can isolate them from the rest of the "normal" people, like a sick patient put into quarantine. Now, if only one member of such a made-up group acts despicably (note, you decide who's in that group ...), you can blame anybody within that group thereby destroying their legitimate requests.
Incels are such a group.
That method has worked for ages (people opposing communist regimes were called fascists, people opposing mass flooding of Europe with "refugees" are deemed nazis, people opposing female privilege (a.k.a. feminism) are called misogynists, ...) but with the advent of social media it has been brought to perfection.
The fundamental argumentative flaw behind all that nonsense is essentially: You are not for A then you must be for the opposite of A. Since A is something supposedly good, you must be bad, right? But life is not just 'true' or 'false'. It's a spectrum, so not A is not the opposite of A but the rest of that spectrum.
