'''2014-2018 - Moderate Incel Board Server Crash, Anti-Feminist Incel Emergence on Reddit''' | '''2014-2018 - Moderate Incel Board Server Crash, Anti-Feminist Incel Emergence on Reddit''' | ||
In 2014, [[Robin Sprenger]] publishes academic literature on inceldom called, "Male Absolute Beginner: A Communication Science Approach to Explaining Partnerlessness", which is self-explanatory. It was published in Springer VS. | |||
In 2014 a new [[IncelSupport]] was trying to emerge, but failed due to lack of interest. [[Wizchan]] began in 2014. Also in 2014, the [[PSL]] boards now all contained 'rate me' subforums, furthering lookism in the incelosphere. During 2014-2015, the incel presence on Reddit began, mostly through [[Caamib]] from [[love-shy.com]], starting with the extremely [[anti-feminist]] subreddits: r/truecels and r/incels. The emergence of [[anti-incel]] forums like [[inceltears]] and [[leftbook]] tag groups began the start of the [[Battle of Incelistan]]. In 2017 the Facebook group [[Incelistan]] began but not as a response to the similarly titled [[Battle of Incelistan]], but more as a response to [[anti-incel]] [[leftbook]] tag groups. Almost all the members of [[Incelistan]] came from the Facebook group [[Ancapistan]] and not any subreddit or established incel forum. In November 2017 r/incels and r/truecels were banned, with that 'community' moving to the new sites incel.life and [[incels.me]]. Incel.life was shut down in 2018, thanks to an effort by [[Babe Magazine]]. In early 2018, Alana decided to rebrand her failed and abandoned research project to, "Love not Anger", after accepting feminist criques of the word, "incel", being an inherently sexist word. In late 2018, some more incel sites were created from incels.me users, but we'll see if they last long enough to be worth putting in here. Although the trueforcedloneliness.com website is no longer operational, there are still sporadic blogs and vlogs wherein creators self-identify as [[TFL|TFLers]]. | In 2014 a new [[IncelSupport]] was trying to emerge, but failed due to lack of interest.
