The only forum tangential to incels Rodger appeared to be an active member of was [[PUAhate|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, rather than him being a reflection of incels. In other words, Rodger built his persona off of people's (highly-negative) opinion 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. Rebecca also tried to point out how cherrypicking violent celibates does not mean that inceldom is born from evil, as many (if not most) evil people have partners.

{{Quote|"Rodger just fed into what everyone really wants to believe about incels. Even in circles where the word 'incel' is not known, someone who does not attract others sexually is the butt of jokes. S/he will not be taken seriously and will be considered incapable of everything else, too. | {{Quote|"Rodger just fed into what everyone really wants to believe about incels.

It's worth remembering that Adolf Hitler had a partner. So did many well known serial killers and rapists. They were not dangerous because of sexual frustration or an inability to fit in. They were simply evil people."|-[[Rebecca]]}} | It's worth remembering that Adolf Hitler had a partner. So did many well known serial killers and rapists.
