[[4chan]] is a popular but controversial internet imageboard. "[[Chad]]" and "[[Stacy]]" are nicknames for stereotypical jocks and means girls that were apart of [[4chan]] culture for many years, used on incel-related forums and on the /r/incels subreddit (banned since November 7, 2017) on Reddit to refer to popular, attractive sexually-active men and women; a subreddit is an individual community on Reddit based on a topic of interest. The term "Incel Rebellion" is sometimes used interchangeably with the term "[[Beta Uprising]]", or "Beta Male Uprising" which refers to a violent response to sexlessness, which incels view as sexual deprivation | [[4chan]] is a popular but controversial internet imageboard.
