All three forums were well known for being full of stupid, disgusting, mentally ill degenerates who take pleasure in putting down others.<ref>https://www.independent.com/2015/02/20/elliot-rodger-report-details-long-struggle-mental-illness/</ref> None of these forums had/have sub-forums which self-identified as incel subforums, although the term was widely used in the "Shitty Advice" section of PUAhate, which was the most visited sub-forum the last few years of the site. Although the forums had origins in exclusive pick-up-artistry criticism, after the [[Elliot Rodger]] shooting, it morphed into a place to almost exclusively talk about how to improve ones looks to get dates on online dating. Lookism.net broke tradition a bit by self-identifying as an incel forum sorta around 2017, as well as becoming more sympathetic to pick-up-artistry. | ||
