On December 21st, 2021, seven members of the U.S. House of Representatives wrote to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland asking if the U.S. Department of Justice can investigate and prosecute our former administrators for their involvement in another website, Sanctioned Suicide. This followed the New York Times article regarding that website earlier this month.
Several members of various incel communities were aware of the situation but decided against writing a post on the issue at the time while we decided on the stance we take on the issue. Now, here is our current stance:
1. We currently do not believe there is any genuine threat to incels.is' current operations, or to the safety of our former administrators. Having discussed the matter, our analysis is that this is entirely political theater with little or no legal substance. The closest comparison I can make to this situation is when Ted Cruz and other members of Congress wrote letters to the DOJ asking then-AG Barr to prosecute Netflix on child pornography charges. Yes, that happened. Lawmakers pull stunts like this because they can virtue-signal to white mom lobby groups that they did something whilst punting the issue and deflecting blame for any inaction to the DOJ.
2. We have reliable information that since the publication of the New York Times article, a few U.S.-based individuals who we know of are actively lobbying members of Congress to censor incels.is, amongst other communities. Additionally, we know that these individuals seek to sow disinformation in these communities out of spite. However, their financial backing is pretty much zero relative to their aims, so we will not elaborate as not to give the crazies any legitimacy or publicity.
3. We note that one or more advocacy groups have also submitted their own comments on the issue of Sanctioned Suicide to the DOJ. We strongly and unreservedly support the right to freedom of speech, and the right to petition the government, as guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. To that effect, we have decided to add our perspective to the conversation.
We have submitted the following correspondence to Attorney General Garland. Copies of this letter were also sent to the seven members of Congress, and two reporters at the New York Times. We encourage every incel to read this letter in its entirety.
Thank you.
