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. | 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]], [[Braincels]], and [[Love-shy.com]].

It almost seems like wikipedia editors and feminist journalists would rather the incel forums have radical anti-feminists than not, as their hyper-focus on those elements has attracted radical anti-feminists to the incel spaces in droves. As well as establishing the forums that allow radical anti-feminists to grow their userbase way beyond the forums that have tighter moderation or who attract different types of incels. | It almost seems like wikipedia editors and feminist journalists would rather the incel forums have radical anti-feminists than not, as their hyper-focus on those elements has attracted radical anti-feminists to the incel spaces in droves.
