In the wake of the Toronto van attacks, the mods on Incels.me have apparently decided to hide some of the more incriminating discussions on the site. Like this little thread, which they deleted — but not before the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine grabbed a copy of it.
I guess this thread was just a little bit too enthusiastically pro-mass-murder for its own good.
You may notice that some of the commenters accuse the OP of being a troll from the anti-incel IncelTears subreddit. But if you go to the archived thread (this isn’t visible in the screenshot) you’ll see that several of those agreeing most enthusiastically with the OP are prolific Incels.me posters with many thousands of comments between them. Because of course.
willfully ignoring the community’s request, acting like nothing ever happened, is creepy and yuck. its got feministguy stank all over it.
eta: i don’t actually think idli is feministguy; not enough sad boners. But if mrex And feministguy procreated, this would be their annoying ass baby
No, I don’t think this is feministguy.
Too much of a seagully mrexy vibe.
Cornychips you’re totally right on that fguy/mrex thing.
Idii,
After all the shit incels have been posting, you really think their are goods ones?
wwth,
i missed that comment “unlucky in love”. Idli posts such long winded, pompous shit; my eyes glaze over and i can’t pay attention.
Thaaaaaat’s not how language works.
You can’t just decide to change the way a word is used. Whether the dictionary definition of “incel” is more broad than the community of misogynistic haters or not, there’s no changing the fact that “Incel” means that community of haters. That’s their label, and choosing your own terms isn’t gonna do anything but confuse the issue. They’re Incels, and people who are just not having sex and would like to aren’t.
on another thread:
emphasis mine
Stillll trying to create a difference between ‘good’ incels and ‘bad’ incels. Get the fuck outta here. Still pushing himpathy. uuuuuugh
I think I answered towards a similar post once allready.
Nope what ISR discripes is not an incel, we call that a single.
Most people don’t see themself as incel, you become one if you join them.
So challenge that I posted in a earlier tread, show me one inocent victim here, that calls himself incel and is not part of the hate.
