'''Braincels''', or, '''/r/braincels''',  was a [[blackpilled]] [[involuntary celibate]] community hosted on [[Reddit]]. It was watched over by [[Blackops2cel|Saint Blackops2cel]]. The community was more raucous than [[incelistan.net]], and a bit more calm than [[incels.co]].  Before it got banned by Reddit in September 2019, it was the largest incel, "forum".  The current replacement board is [https://Braincels.org Braincels.org]

The subreddit got an estimated 2 to 3 posts per minute and had a huge amount of [[lurker|lurkers]]. Braincels generally produced more lighthearted and tongue-in-cheek content compared to other incel communities, it largely consisted of memes in support of the [[blackpill]] and [https://www.reddit.com/r/IncelTears/comments/917t15/do_not_fall_for_bait/ baits] for [[/r/inceltears|/r/IncelTears]].

Even though often stereotyped as being occupied by "angry White males", Braincels was highly racially diverse with especially Asians and Indians being overrepresented (see [[Demographics#Race|Demographics § Race]]).
 
Following the ban, some users moved to [[incels.co]], [[incelistan.net]], [[incelswithouthate]], saidit.net/s/incels.
/r/Braincels was banned from Reddit on September 30th 2019 for posting of content that harasses or bullies.  Near the end of it's life, a large percentage of braincels threads was making fun of feminine men and bullying type posts using the words, "[[soyboy]]", "[[cuck]]", etc..  Something that was not common until the last year of Braincels' life.
 
Braincels was given no notice.  Users moved to [[incels.co]], [[incelistan.net]], [[incelswithouthate]], reddit.com/r/celouts, saidit.net/s/incels, or simply stopped using incel forums. Smaller forums went into high gear to attract Braincels users, however no mass exodus happened, leaving some wondering how many real users were on Braincels in the first place.
