Angela Nagle: Difference between revisions

Before the [[Alek Minassian]] attack, she was a source of empathy and cool-headedness about the [[incel]] problem. However, after the [[Alek Minassian]] attack, her statement on the BBC that incel was a subculture instead of a life circumstance helped people pidgeonhole and virgin shame incels on Wikipedia and elsewhere.  In fact, on of the biggest fights on Wikipedia around the time of her BBC appearance was whether or not to keep the wikipedia page as describing a life circumstance, or change it to describe 4chan culture (instead of just having a fucking article on 4chan culture and not politically redefining involuntary celibacy).  On Wikipedia, the anti-science folks won and incel was relabled as a subculture causing Wikipedia to purge citations about inceldom from the journal of sex research and other peer reviewed articles which took the concept of involuntary celibacy seriously from an academic perspective.
