'''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 30th 2019, it was the largest incel "forum". The current replacement board is [https://Braincels.org Braincels.org]. | '''Braincels''', or, '''/r/braincels''', was a [[blackpilled]] [[involuntary celibate]] community hosted on [[Reddit]].

Various external forums such as [[incels.co]] and [[incelistan.net]] welcomed [[Braincels]] refugees, but a second mass exodus to external forums is unlikely as r/Braincels users already knew the existence of these external forums, and r/Braincels was never really much of a solid community at any point in time. In the last few months of its existence, the subreddit was increasingly populated by [[alt-right]] types, people who bully feminine looking men, and culture warriors. | Various external forums such as [[incels.co]] and [[incelistan.net]] welcomed [[Braincels]] refugees, but a second mass exodus to external forums is unlikely as r/Braincels users already knew the existence of these external forums, and r/Braincels was never really much of a solid community at any point in time.
