Alana's Involuntary Celibacy Project: Difference between revisions

Compared to today’s Incel boards, the overall tone of the conversation was different: Incel was not a permanent thing, and women were part of the Incel community. Because of this, fatalistic and defeatist attitudes as well as misogyny and anti-feminism weren’t as pervasive as they are now. But there still was negativity and Alana left. In my experience, self-describing as Incel wasn’t a negative thing even though the state of being Incel was negative. It remained that way for over a decade, which ranged from the end of the 90s to the end of the 2000s.
