Though still part of the [[incelosphere]], the forum is pretty hostile to incels who express that involuntariness. The forum was mainly defined by it's role in various e-drama like Gamergate, and therefore is more filled with culture-warriors and [[astroturfing|astroturfers]] rather than actual incels. This site owner is also hostile to incels, filtering all mention of the word [[incel]] to [[crab]]. | Though still part of the [[incelosphere]], the forum is pretty hostile to incels who express that involuntariness.

A parapalegic dwarf in a wheelchair. He eventually got laid by an emotional and abusive weeaboo with a [[devotee|fetish for disability]]. When this was revealed - throught the leak of an IRC conversation - he was housted from his adminship, because Wizardchan, like Wizchan, has a rule that no one can post on it if one is not a [[virgin]], which implies a non-virgin cannot hold any power in it. | ||
