In the post you replied to, he is pointing out that not all lonely people blame others for their loneliness. In other words, many lonely people are not incels.

It has simply become a weaponised and pejorative term for any lonely depressed person, and self-deprecating people use it of themselves.
Again, I suggest we decide upon a number of terms we can use more fairly. I will offer some in a future post.
@Belacqua -- This makes my point.
