"What exactly is an incel?" I recommend you peruse
@ArshyMann's thread which he just posted. (He offers the important caveat that a link between Incels and Minassian hasn't been 100% verified yet.)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

reporters are still wary of reading that Minassian FB post that mentions Rodger and Incel as authentic and as actually being from the driver of the van. They think it might be fake. It's still a fluid story
