The only forum tangential to incels Rodger appeared to be a member of was [[PUAhate.com]], which at no point ever self-identified as an incel forum and had many people of every celibacy status. [[Rebecca]], a lesbian, former admin of [[IncelSupport]] thinks that Rodger was more a product of people's attitudes towards incels, than him being a reflection of incels. [[Alek Minassian]] was also arguably a reflection of how people see incels, rather than him being a reflection of something inherent about inceldom itself.
