The mention of the [[SPLC]] article in the intro tries to make all incel communities seem like moral equivalents to the taliban or the KKK, even communities like [[Incelswithouthate]], [[Incelistan]], [[Braincels]], 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, stuff the entire article with news against [[wikipedia]] policy, then move the page when they couldn't change it enough. | The mention of the [[SPLC]] article in the intro tries to make all incel communities seem like moral equivalents to the taliban or the KKK, even communities like [[Incelswithouthate]], [[Incelistan]], [[Braincels]], and [[Love-shy dot com|love-shy.com]].

Much of this problem with the page lies in the faulty assumption that "incel" is a subculture rather than a life circumstance. Because if it's a subculture than it can only be defined in it's relation to [[4chan]] culture and the [[PSL]] scene, when it's usage expands beyond [[4chan]] culture and the [[PSL]] scene. | Much of this problem with the page lies in the faulty assumption that "incel" is a subculture rather than a life circumstance.
