Incelosphere: Difference between revisions

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]].  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'll become noteworthy enough to be placed on this article. Although the trueforcedloneliness.com website is no longer operational, there nevertheless are many sporadic blogs and vlogs wherein content creators self-identify as [[TFL|TFLers]].

After the great [[Battle of Incelistan]] the current remaining major forums are: [[Incels.me]], [[Braincels]], [[Wizchan]], [[Facebook]]'s [[Incelistan]], [[Love-shy.com]], and [[Incelswithouthate]].  Also [[foreveralone]], [[Love Not Anger]], [[virginity frustration subforum|Social Anxiety Support's virginity frustration subforum]], and [[4chan|4chan's]] [[r9k]],  are arguably incel boards.  The [[PSL]] board scene was populated by incels but never officially self-identified as incel, just as linux usergroups are populated by incels but don't self-identify as such.  The self-identifying incel forums became more lookist as the [[PSL]] board scene evolved from exclusive anti-pickup-artistry to exclusive lookist theory. Many, but not all incel forums, subscribe to the philosophy of the, "[[blackpill]]".
