Why? Because the rating thread was banned. It meant well, but it caused too much controversy.
The priority here on Incels.co has always been keeping the peace. And like the rating thread, these "I'm tall but I'm incel" or "I have a big dick but I'm incel" threads always invite controversy. The argument is that they're brag threads. And why shouldn't they be considered brag threads? Why do you feel the need to tell us you have a big dick? Some say "It's not brag unless you're saying it's a good thing. It's one thing to say you have a big dick, it's another to say you have an 'ideal' dick. The difference in phrasing implies that your dick is good." But I argue that "I'm incel despite BLANK" threads do imply that whatever quality you have is good. Because what you're saying is "One would think I shouldn't be incel because I have this good thing."
I understand some people, like @JeffGoldblumInTheFly, do it as rebuttal to perceived gatekeeping. They feel like someone's telling them they don't belong. Fair enough. Let's have no gatekeeping either. God damn it, the US Military had a perfectly fine solution for this: Don't Ask, Don't Tell. We apply that same concept here: Don't worry about how "incel" other people might be, just trust that they're incel. And don't feel the need to defend your own inceldom either. We don't need you telling us how you really really tried to get laid despite your big dick and height and everything else. Just nobody talk about it. There's no need.
Every thread I've seen like this recently has been modded. It's only a matter of time before threads like these are clarified to fall under the "No Bragging" rule and banned outright. And frankly, I think it'll be a smart move.
