I think this framing is highly problematic. This idea that hurt feelings are inherently different from wounded egos perpetuates this notion that it's important to distinguish between the "victim" and the "perpetrator" category. I'm sorry, but that's just anti-progressive.
Homeless people, drug addicts, people with mental disorders, are often some of the most abusive and dangerous ones there are. But we recognize many factors outside their influence led them to that place, and they should be helped for it, not punished.
So as heinous some beliefs that incels hold are, ultimately we can acknowledge that in some sense, they have been victimized to. They weren't socialized as children, marginalized in high school, had no support structure, and so on. As we point out how wrong their beliefs are, we should simultaneously extend our sympathy. That is the only way to make them listen and change for the better.
