A user of Truecels and [[Love-shy.com]] named [[Caamib]] was the first active mod and poster of r/incels, and r/incels was seen partially as a quarantine evasion of r/truecels. [[Bargh9]], the creator of r/Truecels and BornToBeIncel it's moderator were banned from Reddit during the quarantine of r/Truecels. [[Women]] were allowed on the first subs and even made mods, until the mod Azavii came along. | ||
AutisticSubhuman and mooselimbsaretrash became moderators on r/incels after AntiModernistIncel (Caamib) "left" the r/incels mod team to avoid detection of quarantine evasion, but all three are thought to be the same accounts. | AutisticSubhuman and mooselimbsaretrash became moderators on r/incels after AntiModernistIncel (Caamib) "left" the r/incels mod team to avoid detection of quarantine evasion, but all three are thought to be the same accounts. | ||

r/Againsthatesubreddits were active in getting r/Truecels quarantined in 2016, so in a round-a-bout way, they are sort of responsible for what is now [[incels.co]]<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/AgainstHateSubreddits/comments/4q6pqc/ucaamib_has_returned_from_his_break_after_talking/</ref> Againsthatesubreddits complained that r/Truecels regarded [[Elliot Rodger]] as brave and a victim. Some Truecels posters indeed saw Rodger as brave and/or a victim, however they did not comment much on Elliot as a person or genuinely worship him. r/Truecels disallowed trying to incite illegal activity such as rape or murder. | |||

[[BrokeCFO]] created many many subs just for the purpose of starting them, and did not actually engage in r/incels.

In short, [[SJW]]s were mad that r/Truecels, an extremely small forum, allowed calls for the legalization of rape (even though trying to incite illegal rape was banned). | In short, [[SJW]]s were mad that r/Truecels, an extremely small forum, allowed calls for the legalization of rape (even though trying to incite illegal rape was banned). So they got it quarantined. r/incels then ramped up in response, and then that was banned and [[incels.co]] was created, which now has magnitudes more members than r/Truecels ever had. | ||
