A Facebook employee confirmed to me on background that the Alek Minassian Facebook post referencing 4chan and "The Incel Rebellion" is real:pic.twitter.com/gdydMBOE0l

I think these guys are scum. I also think that banning a group and alienating a group that already feels alienated is just going to lead to more nonsense like this from happening.
So you'd rather let them continue to radicalize people? Because that's what would have happened
Now you are putting words in my mouth. Of course I don't want them to be radicalized.
Just letting you know why letting them keep going doesn't do anything other than put more unhinged people out there. The impact of social interaction where people tell them they're wrong is important
Well, how many killers did reddit's incel board create before it was banned?
The sub they migrated to, /r/braincels, is still active (and has two pinned posts about the attack)
Unfortunately, the Incel community that was banned from Reddit popped up again as a new one called "Braincels". This has been mentioned to Reddit head Steve Huffman before, community still exists.
So much weird crap out there. A bunch of losers apparently. I had never heard of this nonsense. Or that red pill stuff either. I guess being a married, middle-aged white guy who doesn't get out much will have that effect!
To be fair They don't get out either. It's the only way they could be part of such horrible communities
they have a copycat sub here fyi https://www.reddit.com/r/Braincels/ pic.twitter.com/xAVQ8rb8F6
You know if all the incels got together they could single-handedly solve the incel problem once and for all
No, they banned some of it. https://www.reddit.com/r/Braincels/
I think it's worth mentioning: former users believe that what got the subreddit banned was planned violence against another man, not so much all the misogyny and woman-directed hate and violence.
Kind of unfortunate they banned it. Could have been a great source of intelligence on incel terrorists and helped FBI track down dangerous ones... Of course, that requires the FBI to actually care about non-brown terrorists.
