This is a famous experiment from the primatologist Frans van der Waal. He puts two monkeys in cages and at first he gives them both cucumber and they happily perform their task. As soon as he starts giving one monkey grapes instead, the other monkey becomes angry and violent.
This shows the biological ingrainedness of a sense of fairness in primates, and humans are no different.
If two humans perform the same work and chad is rewarded with sex while an incel is ostracized, rejected, and gets nothing, it's only natural for the incel to react to the unfair treatment that is perceived. Some will probably use the argument that we are civilized and thus we don't have to react animalistic, but the point is that we were evolved to detect unfairness and injustice. Society's solution is to surpress that anger, but this is not the natural response.
You can't say to the one monkey that "it is not entitled to grapes", it will make no logical sense to the monkey since it literally performs the same task as the other monkey.
People should take a lesson from biology and not condemn incels for feeling anger after getting a different treatment from society after putting in just as much effort (if not more) as normies and chad. Just as other primates, we are evolved to detect when we are treated unfairly, and anger is a healthy biological signal that warns us that something is wrong with the situation we are in.
