In its discussion of incel communities, as of August 16th, the article mentions only [[r/Incels]] and [[r/Braincels]], omitting or downplaying any non-[[Reddit]] incel communities such as [[love-shy.com]], [[Incelocalypse]], [[Incels.me]] or [[Incelistan]]. The piece also states, "Self-identified incels are mostly white", a claim many incels find dubious given internal demographic research done by forums has shown their forums are almost or at least half non-white. '''The mods of incels.me are pretty much all non-white for the record.''' | In its discussion of incel communities, as of August 16th, the article mentions only [[r/Incels]] and [[r/Braincels]], omitting or downplaying any non-[[Reddit]] incel communities such as [[love-shy.com]], [[Incelocalypse]], [[Incels.me]] or [[Incelistan]].

The lede feels the need to mention, among other minutia, that these people are "mostly white, male and heterosexual"…Specifically mentioning "white, male and heterosexual" in the lede is quite clearly pushing a certain socio-political agenda. Anybody who denies this is either delusional or deliberately lying. Anybody who is even slightly intellectually honest will admit that there is a political message being shoved in there…" | |||
