The | The '''Wikipedia incel article''' on [[Wikipedia|the world's third largest online encyclopedia]] ''should'' cover the topic of [[involuntary celibacy]], i.e. the condition of not being able to get laid, but in its current state, it is, in fact, the highest-profile [[virgin-shaming]] article on the world wide web, beating even Encyclopedia Dramatica's incel article in terms of sensationalism. It is typically the first or second search result on Google when searching 'incel' in Anglo-Saxon countries. The politically [[apex fallacy|biased]] representation of incels, broad-brushing them as terrorists and [[misogyny|misogynists]], lead to the creation of this wiki which aims to provide actual information on inceldom. Wikipedia's incel article used to be more on-topic and accurate, but the tone shifted substantially and useful information and references have been removed since 2010: | ||
