I can't claim to speak for every "incel" on this forum, but personally, what causes anger in me is not celibacy or being ugly. It's the lies society likes to tell about physical appearance.
Celibacy, having to live with ugliness and deformity: it doesn't cause anger in me. Just cold resignation. I got the short stick in the genetic lottery, I understand that; at my age you stop caring so much about it, and you learn to live with it like someone would live with a wooden leg or a blind eye.
However, the lies people tell about all this: it definitely still causes anger to rise up inside me. Because it makes me think you're either stupid or malicious.
Unless you truly are stupid, you know that physical appearance is what matters most in dating (I mean, it has been recognized as fact for millenia: the first matchmaking services revolved solely on pictures). So if you deny it, I can only assume you're trying to hurt the ugly by feeding them false hopes, or demeaning their legitimate defeatism. A kind of faux empathy that just serves your virtue signaling, makes you feel superior to them, and doesn't help them at all. If you truly want to help, help them improve their looks. Their personality may suck too, but focusing solely on their bad personality is both unfair and demeaning. Especially when they probably have a bad personality as a result of past bad treatment.
