Reddit banned r/incels last year, but much of the community moved over to r/braincels shortly thereafter. They were making Nazi oven jokes at journalists who were looking at the community after the Toronto terrorist pledged an "Incel Rebellion." https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/after-toronto-attack-online-misogynists-praise-suspect-new-saint-n868821 …pic.twitter.com/CwvZbNTF4B

Last month, a user on Incels(dot)Me posted a call to action, asking users to "finally use a f---ing truck to just ram down [women] during a school parade or something." Today, that user wonder if he had something to do with the attack in Toronto. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/after-toronto-attack-online-misogynists-praise-suspect-new-saint-n868821 …pic.twitter.com/Lj5aCYbiQi

Hint: incel means "involuntarily celibate." The moment one plans to initiate a sex act, that gives someone agency over their celibacy. They are, in fact, *voluntarily* celibate at that point.pic.twitter.com/dD0Btno3hB
