Cel-Shading is a recently popularized form of graphics arts. Cel-Shading has been used in the animation field probably years before it was a possibility in the video game field. In fact, a lot of the modern day Japanese animation is cel-shaded at some point or another (such as a 360 spin scene where it's hard to draw each angle of a character).
Cel-Shading in the video game industry has only appeared in a few non-animation based games, such as Jet Grind Radio, Rez, and The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. There are two advantages to Cel-Shading:
1. Better FPS. A lot of the time there's a lack of complex texture. Though the lighting is very stressed, the GPU doesn't have to process a lot of high VRAM using textures.
2. More of a animated look. For cases when you want a cartoon looking scene rather than a realistic one, and when flat shading just doesn't look right.

An incel who manages to have sexual interaction once or a couple times but retains their toxic attitudes and bad habits. They continue terrible attempts at dating emboldened by the experience but still fundamentally clueless and terrible at it.

A crush on a cartoon character. Derived from the word cel, which is the sheet of plastic that an animated character is painted on.
Me: I Love Champion Souza!
Friend: Who's that, a French exchange student?
Me: No, he's a cel crush.
Friend: What movie?
Me: The Triplets of Belleville.

A female Incel or the modern equivalent of the loud feminist stereotype. Makes demands of others, acts cringey, and is an all around lulcow.
Don't mind Stacy. She's a Fem-cel. We just keep her around to see how deep she'll dig herself a hole.
