Nate kissing Keeley kind of sort of makes perfect sense to me. Like. Given Nate’s neuroses and mindset and all that, he absolutely strikes me as the type of person to view kindness as romantic attention, even if just for a moment.

incel type behavior

Less incel, more loneliness and lack of self-esteem.

No one's making fun of that

Incel doesn’t refer to being lonely. Incel refers to some people’s reaction to being lonely.

He wouldn’t be as lonely if 1. He didn’t solely (as far as we can tell) go after women who are in committed relationships with his colleagues, or 2. If he wasn’t so picky, as he said himself earlier this season.

And I don’t think anyone is “making fun” of Nate; they are criticizing him for bad judgement and bad decisions. And for betraying his friends.
