Braincels: Difference between revisions

The subreddit was occupied for the first half of it's life by the female head-moderator [[Board_Gaming]] who repeatedly said she did not believe in the [[Blackpill]], posted in [[Inceltears]], and seemingly disliked Incels. She has also been believed to be autistic due to the nature of the vast majority of comments she makes being of the form "I am not X" or "I do not X," which have gave rise to several mock accounts on the subreddit that imitated her. In October 2018, she stepped down as head-moderator and was replaced by u/IQ9K who appointed five new moderators to help him out. The forum then became more ban-heavy, [[masculinist]], and content-restrictive.  

r/Braincels was banned from Reddit on September 30th 2019 for "posting of content that harasses or bullies." [[Master]], who was hired as a mod on the subreddit a month before its closing posted a Reddit PM he got notifying him of the closing. The PM said that the creation of new subreddits to evade the ban was not allowed and that the content on Braincels was, "materially incompatible", with new rules Reddit admins created for the purpose of shutting down a bunch of subreddits.

Various external forums such as [[incels.co]] and [[incelistan.net]] opened their forums to [[Braincels]] refugees, but there is unlikely to be a second mass exodus to external forums.  As people were already aware of the external forums, and Braincels was never really much of a community at any point in time. And in the last few months of it's life was increasingly populated by culture warrior types.
