For example, contrary to the article, the Wiki was not created in response to the ban of [[r/incels]], but in response to the [[Wikipedia incel article]]. Further, DeCook asserts that the Wiki was created to counter: "disinformation about their group [incels] being spread by nefarious actors (namely, Jews, 'globalists,' and feminists, among others," (''ibid'', p. 238) but, unlike vocal members of r/incels, this wiki does not condone physical violence as noted in nearly all articles pertaining to violent topics or individuals, neither does it focus much on "globalists or Jews". Nor does the Wiki accept the framing of inceldom as only constituting self-identified members of a modern online subculture, as DeCook repeatedly implies in her article. | ||
