‘Incel’ stands for ‘involuntarily celibate’Hmm Maybe I’m naive but I didn’t even know this dark corner of the internet existed,It had over 40k members! 40k members feeling hard* done by because women don’t want to have sex with them.. From reading* the links in the article is it really surprising why? They* all sound vile and see sex as an entitlement.

I’m* glad the group has now been removed but I’m really really sick of reading about how some men think women owe them sex that they apparently need in the same way they need food and water. These creepy men are living and walking among us and that’s* scary.

yes but you know why they banned it?

Not because of the years of threats of rape, etc. against women.

Nope, but because of a threat to castrate a man.

you have to be kidding dancing bear. That sub forum wouldn't even allow posters to point out that celibacy happens to women too. There were posters asking in round about ways how to get away with rape, and yet a woman who pointed out repeated that women too end up celibate when that's not what they want was banned

IL0veCl0thes · 09/11/2017 23:30

I found it shocking that posters who regularly 'tried to claim' that they too were celibate against their wishes were banned!?

40 thousand of these women-hating bastards all wanting to have sex with the women they hate

Oh come off it dancingbear. Mumsnet is reflective of what most people think about trans demands. Can you say the same about r/incels? Are most men that vilely misogynistic? Have you seen all the rape and death fantasies they post?

I think posters on this board should be very careful when celebrating the removal of fora where the prevailing view could be described as 'extreme'. And I say this as someone who has some sympathy with a lot of what is posted here.

Not disputed that the Reddit posters are fucked up saddos.

Yes that is true Frustrated and I agree pretzels these men sound utterly terrifying.

Just to point out it had 40k subscribers, that doesn’t mean 40k people believed in their shit, it was easy pickings for Reddit to take the piss out of because they’re so fucked so many probably subscribed just to see the random shit, hell it was probably trolled a lot to see the reactions to, but yeah some was extreme lit definitely should have been taken down sooner

Sorry... massive bold fail. Not sure how that happened.

These are the men that celebrate Elliot Rodgers as their patron saint and refer to him as 'the supreme gentleman'. They actually admire a man who killed a whole load of people because women wouldn't have sex with him, and wrote a manifesto saying all women should be put in concentration camps. Their highest aim is to be like him (as opposed to say - getting off the internet, finding a hobby that isn't stewing in your own bitterness and in doing so perhaps becoming likeable enough that a real woman might find them attractive.)
They call everyone else 'normies' and refer to men as 'chads' and women as 'stacies' and believe these people deserve to be brutally murdered for daring to be sexually active whilst the incels are not.
They are some of the most terrifying people (men) on the internet and I'm glad reddit have finally seen fit to shut them down - though god knows what they'll do in reaction and how much worse this will make them.
