"Herbivore men, or "sōshoku-kei danshi," is a term used in Japan to describe young men who are considered gentle, non-assertive, and less interested in traditional masculine roles like pursuing relationships or marriage. The term was coined by author Maki Fukasawa to describe a new form of masculinity that is not reliant on proactivity and assertiveness."
Herbivore Men became a thing in Japan around the late 2000s. They seem to overall be more accepted in Japanese society than incels in the west. Since they're all essentially part-time worker bees who LDAR.
 
Sounds more like volcels, if they're not interested in foids.

They were interested in foids. They just decided that working yourself to death just to have a wife and kid you never see is an awful lifestyle. So they just instead rot and jerk off to anime.

East Asians are incels less by foid standards (although that still plays a part) and more by their exhaustive/stressful schedules and utter lack of work-life balance. My dad used to tell me about the 996 era in China and it was pure hell. Good thing it's banned now.

Perhaps. My online oneitis dated a vegan simp (irl) for 7-8 years. He ended up proposing to her and she ended up breaking up with him after finding another man, lol. It was cathartic to watch that unfold, and she ended up getting her own dose of karma not too long afterwards
