'''Incels.is''' | '''Incels.is''' is the largest incel forum in the [[incelosphere]]. | ||
Originally created by [[SergeantIncel]] on Nov. 7th, 2017, it was made in response to the ban of the [[/r/incels]]<nowiki/>subreddit. Its status as an independent website offers its community flexibility and a greater degree of free speech, relative to other sites that expect [[politically correct]] speech. Discussion of illegal activities is against site rules.<ref>https://incels.is/threads/rules-terminology-and-faq.799/</ref> | |||
'''On March | The forum features prominent discussion of the [[blackpill]] philosophy. | ||
An official Telegram channel exists to share news and notices.[https://t.me/incels] | |||
== URL Changes == | |||
The forum has gone through several URL changes over the years. | |||
'''.me to .is:''' On October 19th, 2018, a permanent change was made from the domain incels.me to incels.is. Afilias (the organization that owns .me) dropped the domain due to abuse report raiding (threads at the time made on [[inceltears]] point to the subreddit being mainly responsible). While the admins stated that they had complied with Afilias and done everything asked of them, they were dropped regardless despite compliance. | |||
'''.is to .co:''' In [https://web.archive.org/web/20190403052212/https://incels.is/threads/incels-co.114739/ March 2019], the domain was changed once again from incels.is to incels.co. The admins cited improved SEO and better phonetics as the reason for the domain change. | |||
'''.co. to .is:''' On March 2021 (around [https://neets.me/threads/what-happened-to-me-and-co.3487/ the 23rd]) the site returned to incels.is (at the same time Looksmax.me changed to [[Looksmax.org]]). The previous domains were arbitrarily suspended by the provider, having not given reason for the act. | |||

The rules on the site have mostly remained the same over the years. A slight URL change occurred (aside from the .me to extension) between 2018 and 2020, where "terminology-and" was removed: | The rules on the site have mostly remained the same over the years.

After the [[Alek Minassian]] van attack in Toronto, [[mainstream media]] went on a massive media campaign against [[incelosphere|incel forums]] consisting of thousands of articles and multiple TV show episodes, specifically against incels.co, despite the fact that [[Alek Minassian]] only referenced [[4chan]], and that to this day no mass shooters have ever participated on the incels.co forum. | After the [[Alek Minassian]] van attack in Toronto, [[mainstream media]] went on a massive media campaign against [[incelosphere|incel forums]] consisting of thousands of articles and multiple TV show episodes, specifically against incels.co, despite the fact that [[Alek Minassian]] only referenced [[4chan]], and that to this day no mass shooters have ever participated on the incels.co forum. | ||
