The board is schizophrenic with regards to it's attitude towards incels. R9k has entirely defined what the media calls, 'incel culture', however the board is extremely populated with various [[noncel]] [[troll]]s, [[astroturfing|astroturfers]], [[noncel]] mysognynists, and [[/pol/]]acks that quite a lot of [[anti-incel]] posting occurs there, but with more of a dismissive air than a [[feminist]] spirit. Nonetheless, perhaps due to the media and [[Wikipedia]] admins like [[GorillaWarfare]] constantly insisting that 4chan culture is all that the incel label is, there has been a moderate influx of genuine self-identified incel posters. [[r9k]] is most accurately viewed as a [[4chan]] subculture's enormous influence on incel forums, rather than an incel forum in itself due to the amount of [[noncel]] and [[anti-incel]] activity on the board. | ||
