'''Incels.co''' (previously “incels.is” and before that '''incels.me''') is currently the largest conventional forum external to reddit in the English [[incelosphere]]. It was created by [[SergeantIncel]] on Nov. 7th, 2017, hours after the banning of /r/incels. Its status as an independent website offers its community flexibility and allows free speech in a way that would likely be censored on other forums, due to their politically correct speech. | '''Incels.co''' (previously “incels.is” and before that '''incels.me''') is currently the largest conventional forum external to reddit in the English [[incelosphere]].

== Style == | |||
The style of posting on incels.co resembles 4chan, as it is a third iteration of [[4chan|4chan's]] [[r9k]] board, with the banned /r/incels being the second iteration. Its style of posting is impersonal, fast, jokey, and at times sociopathic, again like 4chan. incels.co has been known for its [[incels.co megathread|incels.co megathreads]] and [[cold approach]] diaries. Discussion of illegal activities is against site rules<ref>https://incels.co/threads/rules-terminology-and-faq.799/</ref>. | |||
Although because of this process bans on incels.co are very hard to avoid, there is a ban appeal section for users who believe their [[incels.co warning level|warnings]] have been unfair or who want a second chance. | |||
Incels.co has strong rules against [[bragging]], and a solid registration process. Users must include the reason why they want to join, as well as not use VPN's or proxies in order to avoid letting in spammers and alternate accounts of already banned users. | |||
One unique thing about incels.co is that it does not allow women to join or for non-heterosexuals to talk about LGBTQ topic according to [[Master]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s24YgtS0ksA<?ref>. The rationale for this is that women would disrupt discussion in [[orbiter]] seeking behaviour, and people would encourage incels to transition from male to female. Believe it or not [[Vintologi|there exist feminists who join incel forums just to convince men to transition so that they do not breed]]. Also, see [[R9k]] for more examples of such behaviour. | |||
