Notable excerpts from the SageJournals article (KEKFUEL):

In terms of linguistic barriers, trolling and “shitposting” are prominent features of the community. While the extent of trolling is difficult to quantify, members employ a rather distinctive jargon, which can be interpreted as a symbolic way of communicating within the community. This jargon manifests visually through symbols such as “Pepe the Frog” and DC's “The Joker,” the former being a symbol assimilated by trolls and alt-right activists, and the latter depicting a villain aspiring to destroy society.

For instance, terms like “foid” and “toilets” are commonly used in lieu of “women” in forum discussions. The recurrent substitution of derogatory terms for women serves as a rallying symbol for group members. This in-group language and jargon not only strengthen communal bonds but also demarcates community boundaries, alienating those not familiar with the nuanced meanings and connotations. These distinctive words and stories serve as emblems of community membership and forms of cultural capital, with prestige accorded to those who expose “fakecels” and uphold the community's linguistic norms.

Regarding legitimacy challenges, the community has a pronounced internal social hierarchy, often leading to skepticism and scrutiny directed at newcomers or perceived outsiders. New members face challenges to their legitimacy and alignment with incel ideologies. Established members often express dislike with the perspectives brought forth by newer members. For instance, as one member expresses this: “The blackpill is supposed to be unique and reflective, which is contradictory to what new ‘incels’ puts forward, it's why all of us older users highly dislike the new graycels that are joining.” Here, “graycels,” being newcomers not fully indoctrinated into the ideology, are not considered to be full members of the community. This hierarchical structure is evident in interactions where the term “graycel” is employed pejoratively, even toward established members, highlighting the prevailing challenges for newcomers in gaining acceptance and impacting the community dialogue. For example, while we cannot statistically validate this due to data limitation, we noticed that members with “only” a few hundred posts were rarely to receive responses during thread discussions, indicating a perceptible hierarchical delineation based on contribution history and a general reluctance to accept others into the community.

Some users call for some form of social ritual or mechanism to further divide the community and separate well-established members from newcomers. For instance, as expressed by this member:

My initiation is that you’d have to kill a pet on camera, people generally loves pets, and ending a life is a very impactful thing, I could gauge their reactions and see if they are pressing themselves or not, if you lack the heart to kill animals that we as humans hold dear to us like “family”, then you aren’t black pilled.

This toxic environment is exemplified in the following post:

I vote for self-improvement salesman and hope shills to get ban from this forum. I am sick of self-improvement assholes shilling normie advice. If people want to laying down and rot, it is their fucking choice, mind your own fucking business if you are doing great in life. The forum should be a place where people share their grievances with people in similar situation. Hope is cope and go fuck yourself if your life is good.

Negative support, more common, encourages destructive behavior, illustrated by a blunt suggestion from another user to commit suicide: “KILL YOURSELF (IN REAL LIFE, NOT IN VIDEO GAME).”

This really goes to show how lazy people are these days, the hazing of new users in forums is not exclusive to .is but inherent to literally every single one of them.
They also treat the forum as having a cohesive "ideology" when the closest thing to that is "women suck" lol
Also the quote about killing pets is not found anywhere on this site. Is this really about .is or some other retard nigger forum?

According to the study, the data was collected from only one "incel" forum. There is no mention of any other Blackpill Space (incels.n3t, incels.!n, ncv.w0rld, etc) sited.

The researchers caution that their findings are specific to Incels.is and may not apply to all individuals who identify as incel. Many men who struggle with loneliness or rejection do not embrace misogynistic ideologies.


“Our study focused on one specific forum—Incels.is—so we’re not saying this applies to everyone who identifies as involuntarily celibate,” Törnberg noted.

So they really were being lazy and using data from banned users from years ago and acting as if that's the norm.
The academia is very fair and unbiased, as we can see.

Could had been referring to that one cocksucker who murdered his pet lizard.

TFW animal cruelty is more shunned on here than some1 going ER on a woman.

Why do they spend so much energy pathologizing our situation instead of offering REAL solutions?

Is there something wrong with me that the animal killing is the only observation I fundamentally disagree with?

idk

They want to purge us from the system rather than addressing our grievances.

 

[glutty]

Of course, would they actually care about a bunch of incels? We're the lowest of the low.

This is their first step to analyze our minds and our thoughts to better track us.

They can analyze us all they want, but at the end of the day, they will have to accept us.

Agreeing that hypergamy exists is a ideology these days

I agree about the toxicity regarding graycels. we should be nicer unless they're faggot/foid etc

"dark emotional energy"

Nigga be acting surprised when getting socially rejected leads you into being bitter and trying to find a group to associate with to fill the lack of social interaction. And then explains it in great detail like it's some intricate process JFL.

 

[LWii]

They dont want that

 

[Oneitiscel]

The academia is very fair and unbiased, as we can see.

At least they were honest about .is not representing the entirety of all internet forum users who identify as "incels". The three sites I sourced harbored characteristic traits which were/are exponentially more profound than the userbase on this forum.

I agree about the toxicity regarding graycels. we should be nicer unless they're faggot/foid etc

Hazing grays for simply being newfags is futile to the future of this forum.

I guess I'm having a laugh at myself because I dislike most newfags as much as the next OG, but I don't go out of my way harassing unfamiliar faces just because they weren't lurking all the way back when the forum was in its first couple of years. It's totally petty.

"Hierarchy"
Lterally anyone who posts long enough uprades from gray name. Besides, those up on the "hierarchy" don't get any benefit from being so, just a different color name.

Also, the nigger who proposed animal torture was probably a normie. Normies like to do such things, incels are much more compassionate and empathetic to animals than them.

 

[j10009504]

their "research" is all based on the assumption that we are wrong
if you assume the blackpill is true, you get completely different results

of course, they won't explore that possibility
