Incelism was a flawed concept right from the beginning.
A great many young men are "involuntarily celibate": they want pussy but don't get any. That's it. You can be both a normie and an incel. "Robot" was also a flawed term, because it was too vague, but at least it always implied more than not getting pussy. "Sluthate" at least went into the right direction, because the focus was not so much on "not having sex" anymore but on hating sluts. It's just different than putting the focus on looskmaxing to escape incelism and/or believing that looksmaxing wouldn't help anymore.
"Incelism" also inevitably results in worshipping women: women are deified, they are seen as these goddesses who alone have the power to bring meaning into the lives of us mere mortal males. And since women are the only meaning of life, everyone who suggests otherwise is committing the idolatry of "cope", which often is the only word these autists are able to utter. And some incels are almost like Catholics who have been excommunicated: they WANT to worship women and then get all depressed and suicidal over these literal goddesses not wanting to be worshipped by THEM. It's pathetic.
And cince receiving heavenly approval from female goddesses is the meaning of life and the way to receive said approval is to look good, "lookism" is an almost inevitable result of "incelism." Lookism is not a perversion of incelism, incelism and lookism are essentially the two sides of the same coin.
And since white men are usually rated as most attractive, incelism then often results in tumblr-like whining about "white male privilege" and the glass ceiling preventing more non-white men from becoming priests worshipping at the altar of pussy, so to speak.
