In 2011, the subreddit [[foreveralone|r/foreveralone]] and would go on to become one of the most gender-inclusive spaces of the incelosphere. In 2013, [[IncelSupport]] crashed, and all forum posts were lost in the process. In 2014, [[Robin Sprenger]] published academic literature on inceldom called, "Male Absolute Beginner: A Communication Science Approach to Explaining Partnerlessness", which is self-explanatory.

In 2014 a reiteration of [[IncelSupport]] was attempted, but was quickly abandoned due to lack of interest. [[Wizchan]] began in 2014. Also in 2014, the [[PSL]] boards now all contained 'rate me' subforums, thus further ingraining [[blackpill]]ed concepts such as [[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 some in those subreddits moving to the new sites incel.life and [[incels.me]]. Incel.life was shut down in 2018, due to efforts by [[Babe Magazine]].

Incel.life was shut down in 2018, due to efforts by [[Babe Magazine]]. In early 2018, Alana decided to rebrand her failed and abandoned research project to, "Love not Anger", whilst claiming that the term "incel" has acquired negative connotations. 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]]. | ||
