Summary/Abstract: The article aims to reconstruct the linguacultural representation of the Polish incel. Although the term incel originated in English-language online discourse, it is now also used in Polish. However, research on incel activity in the Polish-language online sphere remains scarce. The paper presents selected profiles of the concept of 'incel', enabling a more nuanced understanding of its characteristics and its subjectively construed variants. The primary methodological framework employed is that of the linguistic worldview (JOS). The research material was excerpted from the Polish microblogging platform Wykop.pl, and comprises posts and comments published between 2019 and 2024, including multimodal content such as photographs, images, and memes.
