Braincels was created by [[AnathematicAnarchist]] before the ban of [[/r/incels]]. He was later forgotten by the 'community' until his posting of a suicide letter, after which he was embraced by many users. He has not posted since his letter. Given that a large number of suicides from r/Braincels have been tied to real Facebook accounts, it is likely that the creator of the sub did [[Roping|commit suicide]]. | Braincels was created by [[AnathematicAnarchist]] before the ban of [[/r/incels]].

The subreddit was occupied for the first half of it's life by the female head-moderator [[Board_Gaming]], who repeatedly said she did not believe in the [[Blackpill]], posted in [[Inceltears]], and was quoted claiming to dislike incels. She has been believed to be autistic due to the nature of the vast majority of comments she made being of the form "I am not X" or "I do not X," which have gave rise to several mock accounts on the subreddit that imitated her. In October 2018, she stepped down as head-moderator and was replaced by u/IQ9K who appointed five new moderators to help him out. The forum then became more ban-heavy, [[masculinist]], and content-restrictive. | The subreddit was occupied for the first half of it's life by the female head-moderator [[Board_Gaming]], who repeatedly said she did not believe in the [[Blackpill]], posted in [[Inceltears]], and was quoted claiming to dislike incels.
