Based on the research of Dr. Donnelly, we basically included anyone who would self- identify with being Incel and this meant that we’d include women, non-virgins, and even people who had children but were in a sexless marriage, etc. (Mentioning this to contrast to how many incels nowadays would reject these people as "[[normies]]"). | Based on the research of Dr. Donnelly, we basically included anyone who would self- identify with being Incel and this meant that we’d include women, non-virgins, and even people who had children but were in a sexless marriage, etc. (Mentioning this to contrast to how many incels nowadays would reject these people as "[[normies]]"). | ||
==feminist mods== | |||
Because IncelSupport was feminist and wouldn’t allow for misogyny, they would strictly moderate and consistently ban members who promoted it. One of the MOST notable things IncelSupport did was create "The Deadly Sins of Involuntary Celibacy". In retrospect, the unintended consequence of this was that banning misogynistic posters helped rid it from IncelSupport but it didn’t actually fix the misogyny from these posters. Many of these banned members would migrate to [[love-shy.com]], which was a rival community. | |||
==Philosophical differences with love-shy.com== | |||
Over the course of almost a decade, the general trend of these two main Incel support communities was that one became more feminist while one became more MRA. According to posts on r9k from 2013 (each paragraph is a different post)<ref>http://archive.is/jW9yh#selection-4478.9-4478.11</ref>: | |||
"There is incelsupport, which I used to post on, but it's | |||
heavily moderated and overly PC, so 4chan types would hate it. | |||
There is the love-shy board - they basically seem like /r9k/ | |||
misogynists on steroids. That's about it, really." | |||
>wizardchan - overmoderated, slow, autistic | |||
>incelsupport - overmoderated, slow, PC | |||
>loveshy - slow, makes /r9k/ look like tolerant women's | |||
libbers‖ | |||
"All these places have their own ideologies though. The | |||
incelsupport board was kind of PC and wanted to ignore | |||
anything related to physical appearance or gender issues, | |||
whereas the love-shy board is essentially misogynist and bitter | |||
like /r9k/." | |||
Ultimately, the forums became so ideologically split that – ironically – during this period, | |||
LoveShy forum became more like what Incel is nowadays and focused on external forces and | |||
sex, while IncelSupport forum was more like what love-shyness would be like and focused on | |||
the personality issues and self-improvement.<ref>http://archive.is/Xq8O7#selection-9595.172-9594.3</ref> | |||
In Shy Boys IRL (a documentary about Love-shy.com), there was this discussion which | |||
wouldn’t be allowed on IncelSupport:<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ8EAwRauoM</ref> | |||
UWT: "I don't know. I think you have somewhat feminist views | |||
but I mean that's it" | |||
Kyle (a non-member): "Yeah, I agree | |||
that women are people." | |||
Advanced: "No see, that's bullshit. And if you don't realize that, | |||
you've been brainwashed." | |||
The ideological split between the forums was due to the policy regarding | |||
"free speech vs hate speech", "supportive vs toxic threads", and the moderation (or lack | |||
thereof).<ref>http://archive.is/oaFbm</ref> | |||
==site crash== | |||
In 2013, around the end, IncelSupport crashed. All the threads were lost. A temporary board was made but it wasn’t the same atmosphere. In 2014, interest was lost in the temporary board and efforts in fixing IncelSupport were eventually abandoned. The temporary board was abandoned too. Both forums are gone now and everything positive and supportive from the Incel community from the last 15 years is gone too. | |||
==IncelSupport's '7 deadly sins'== | |||
1. Apathy. | |||
2. Excuses and justification. | |||
3. Overanalysis. | |||
4. Naivete. | |||
5. Fear. | |||
6. Rage. | |||
7. Shame. | |||
