Wikipedia Incel article: Difference between revisions

The incel article was deleted on 13 August 2015, and then again on 8 October 2015, and then finally on 29 December 2015, at which pointed it was also protected against re-creation. After the [[Toronto van attack]], [[GorillaWarfare]] re-created the article on 24 April 2018 and wrote much of its current content. On 15 June 2018, [[Courcelles]] semi-protected the article indefinitely against editing by non-autoconfirmed users.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Incel Log], Wikipedia</ref>

The mention of the SPLC article in the intro makes all incel communities seem like moral equivalents to the KKK, even communities like [[Incelswithouthate]], [[Incelistan]], and [[Love-shy.com]]. This is political smearing of incels.  The intro also makes it seem like most self-identified incels encourage violence, when this is a vocal minority of users on 4chan related sites.  There is a negative feedback loop where authors for incel pieces come to wikipedia first, get the notion that all communities advocate violence, write another piece, which wikipedia then cites again as another citation of evidence of incels advocating violence.  This is also why anti-incels jumped so hard at the chance to re-write the involutary celibacy article, salt it with news, then move the page when they couldn't change it enough.
