Against Wikipedia conduct policy, Wikipedia admins changed the tone of an entire article due to a news event. | |||
The mention of the [[SPLC]] article in the intro makes all incel communities seem like moral equivalents to the KKK, even communities like [[Incelswithouthate]], [[Incelistan]], [[Braincels]], and [[Love-shy.com]]. This is political smearing of incels. The intro also makes it seem like most self-identified incels encourage violence, when this is a vocal minority of users on 4chan related sites. There is a negative feedback loop where authors for incel pieces come to wikipedia first, get the notion that all communities advocate violence, write another piece, which wikipedia then cites again as another citation of evidence of incels advocating violence. This is also why anti-incels jumped so hard at the chance to re-write the involutary celibacy article, stuff the entire article with news against wikipedia policy, then move the page when they couldn't change it enough. | The mention of the [[SPLC]] article in the intro makes all incel communities seem like moral equivalents to the KKK, even communities like [[Incelswithouthate]], [[Incelistan]], [[Braincels]], and [[Love-shy.com]].
