Incelosphere: Difference between revisions

In 2000, a charity for [[disabledcel]]s is launched called [[TLC Trust]] along with a website. The Yahoo support group [[/groups/loveshy-drgilmartin]] was created in 2002. In 2003, [[love-shy.com]] started as an anonymous board before it switched to non-anoymous a couple years later. In 2004, the first ever female-centric community of the incelosphere was created on Yahoo with [[/groups/loveshy-women]]. The Japanese inspired image-board [[4chan]] also started this year as an anonymous community.  In 2004, Alana's former community and project moved to a new forum called [[Incelsite]], and in 2006 this forum was rebranded to [[IncelSupport]].  In 2004, Tectum Verlag, a German scientific book publisher publishes [[Olaf Wickenhöfer|Olaf Wickenhöfer's]] study of, "involuntary single[s]", citing Donnelly, Gilmartin, and Küpper, as well as his own study.<ref>http://www.single-generation.de/single-kultur/olaf_wickenhoefer.htm</ref>  In 2006, [[Arne Hoffmann]] publishes a book called, "Untouched", chronicling the stories of 11 incels, as well as reviewing the available literature on the subject and publishing new essays on the subject of inceldom.<ref>http://www.single-generation.de/single-kultur/arne_hoffmann.htm#unberuehrt</ref> In 2006, the Japanese Marxist incelospherian group [[Kakuhido]] emerges, doing public protests of Christmas, Valentine's Day, and White Day all that same year. In 2007, the first website of the [[French incelosphere]] is founded, [[Virginite-tardive.fr]], which is entirely in the French language.

In 2008, 4chan's [[r9k]] board appeared, the first [[4chan]] board that arguably became an unofficial incel forum.  Since 2008, [[r9k]] defined most of what media as of 2018 refers to as "incel subculture". Then in 2008, the website [[Incel.myonlineplace.org]] was created. Also, in 2008, the first clip of the unreleased US incel documentary [[The Incel Project]] was uploaded to blip.tv. The developing documentary seemed to have stalled sometime between 2012-2014, with only a couple clips floating around. In the same year, the vlogging community of the [[True Forced Loneliness]] 'movement' started, a space adjacent to incel boards that initially consisted of three vloggers and a website complaining about dating from a societal perspective. In 2009, [[love-shy.com]] came under the adminship of an extremely anti-feminist admin for a couple years. This is the same year that the [[PSL]] boards started, a sequential group of raucous forums that happened to contain a lot of involuntary celibates. [[r/ugly]] is a [[semi-incelospherian]] subreddit that was created in March 2009. The website [[loveshyproject.com]] was also created in 2009. The same year, the website [[Involuntarycelibacy.com]] was created.
