There are a loosely connected set of websites and forums wherein people gather to discuss being romantically unsuccessful, not all of which use incel terminology or portray themselves as "incel forums". Those who visit these sites are affectionately referred to as [[cybercel]]s or incelospherians. This network of online communities wherein people experiencing inceldom gather is sometimes called the [[incelosphere]]. | There are a loosely connected set of websites and forums wherein people gather to discuss being romantically unsuccessful, not all of which use incel terminology or portray themselves as "incel forums". Those who visit these sites are affectionately referred to as [[cybercel]]s or incelospherians. This network of online communities wherein people experiencing inceldom gather is sometimes called the [[incelosphere]]. In 2023, due to the spread of the blackpill on [[tiktok]], many users began identifying as incels, thus forming the sub-culture of [[Tiktokcel|tiktokcels]]. | ||
Frequenters of the [[incelosphere]] are unrepresentative of inceldom as a whole, as the vast majority of incels do not participate in these forums. For example, there are millions of American men over the age of 35 with no sexual experience, a large portion of which could be described as "involuntarily celibate", but no incelosphere forum comes close to reaching this membership. This is for several reasons, but the largest one is probably popular portrayal of incels as extremely violent and misogynistic. The [[incelosphere]] constitutes the segment of inceldom that is sociable enough to have a proclivity for joining these online communities and choose to do so despite the strong negative sentiment against them. | Frequenters of the [[incelosphere]] are unrepresentative of inceldom as a whole, as the vast majority of incels do not participate in these forums.
