Yes it was originally used in an article by a woman jokingly describing herself (because she couldn't find a partner) and then it was adopted and used by Redpill/blackpill basement boys on Reddit, before finding its way into the more mainstream. Obviously a lot of them won't unironically use the term "incel" about themselves any more because it's been discovered by "outsiders" and "used against them". Some of them do indeed still refer to themselves as "the incel community" though.
