even though I'm not interested in seeing anyone or wanting sex.

Wouldn't that be volcel, and thus not incel, if you aren't interested?

It's perfectly fine to not want it, the asexual community calls out this societal standard as "compulsory sexuality"

Interesting. I wonder where getting off though fits in with the whole volcel asexual community as I still do that.

Asexuality is about attraction, not about libido. Some ace people get themselves off regularly. Some don’t. There’s a lot of reasons to engage in sexual activity other than sexual attraction.

as i understand asexuality they don't find any inherent contradiction there.
