'''Incels.co''' (previously '''incels.is''' and before that '''incels.me''') is currently the largest incel forum in the english [[incelosphere]]. It was created by [[SergeantIncel]] on Nov. 7th, 2017, hours after the banning of /r/incels. Its status as an independent website offers its community flexibility and allows free speech in a way that would likely be censored on other forums, due to their politically correct speech.

===First Female Poster=== | ===First Female Poster=== | ||
On | On February 22nd, 2018, a user by the name of Chewbacca posted a ban request in the Inceldom discussion thread.

However, it is possible that a male user, in an attempt to gain attention or self-humor, has lied about being a female user pretending to be a male. | ||
