I found these parts interesting:
[UWSL]While the largest incel forum, where Ash is the administrator, officially defines incels as any “Person who desires a romantic relationship but is unable to enter one,”
[UWSL][41][/UWSL] in reality forum members are frequently challenged about their legitimacy as incels. Until sometime in late 2018 the forum granted “conditional[/UWSL]”[UWSL] membership to people who weren’t incels but who did express a “blackpilled mentality,”[/UWSL]
And yet just this July, an Ohio man who appears to have been an active member of Ash’s forum was charged with a federal hate crime for plotting to carry out a mass shooting targeting women.
The day the hate crime charges were announced, people on Ash’s forum identified the would-be attacker as a fellow member, matching descriptions of his posts in the indictment with those posted on the site.
