To their credit, they got rid of the "incel" stuff pretty quickly after it became basically-synonymous with "dangerously violent male-supremacist cult" (it used to just be "losers who can't relate with the opposite sex, and seem to be weirdly proud of this fact"). A similar story holds for the racist content.


They just created new subs as they got shut down, they're all still there


You mean the Donald? It is still there


I've been pretty close to the incel communities on reddit and I've never understood the bans they placed on them. There were a few posts asking for violence but, to me, they could have been false flags, and they were taken down fast by the mods.

Closing down a forum with thousands of users just because of the attitudes of a handful of them is, well, retarded.

For the record, this is the current incel sub: https://old.reddit.com/r/Braincels/
