Created by [[SergeantIncel]] and [[Master]] on Nov. 7th, 2017, it was made directly in response to the ban of the [[/r/incels]] subreddit.

Its style of posting is impersonal, fast, jokey, and at times sociopathic, again like 4chan.

[[Vintologi|There are feminists who join incel forums to groom heterosexual incels to transition]] to female and date [[Men|males]] [[Chris-chan|so that]] [[QuantumCatX|they]] do not breed. Also, see [[R9k]] for more examples of such behavior. This policy seems similar to a policy that the Japanese chan board: "[[Men Without Motivation]]" have. | ||
