Serious The sudden surge of users on incel forums drawn from "Adolescence" as indicated by research data could seriously harm the quality of our spaces

Unless you have been living under a rock over the past few months, you may be aware of a recent article published by the i papER which presented data on the backlash the hit Netflix show "Adolescence" has received from incel communities, most notably from Master's forums. The results cited are mostly predictable, nothing to write home about. But one topic they touched upon caught my eye, and it's because it made a very bold claim which has the potential to cause noticeable ramifications.

From the article:

According to the CCDH the site’s membership has doubled since 2023, rising from 17,000 to 31,000 registered users.

Its research also shows that the website racked up more than 2.7m visits in just the first three months of this year with most traffic coming from what CCDH termed “intentional engagement”

Anyone who has watched the gradual decline of the overall quality of self-identifying online "incels" over the past years will undoubtedly recall that these sudden waves of uncultured users were the result of mass killers such as Jake Davison & Alek Minassian bringing unwanted attention and sensationalism to our communities. This is most evident in spaces such as "Looksmax", where despite the vast majority of accounts being normies, the self-identifying "incel" users are totally compromised and stick out like a sore thumb, to the point where because of them, it has become a task to find ANY actual high IQ content.

My greatest fear is that these "Adolescence" migrants, brought on by their own (failed normie) frustrations and desire for approval amongst us, have the potential to irreversibly subvert & destroy what the overall community stood by. And maybe there is hope, that when enough of these users occupy one site, the OGs, frustrated of the state of it, decide to branch off to a different domain with tighter moderation, which would prohibit the spammy circlejerks the newfags initiate. This will preserve the few actual incels who are indeed interested in creating talk worth giving a damn about. Until then, more and more of our platforms will continue to be scrutinized by the gynocentric mass media looking for a boogeyman, while the hypes scurry around until there is nothing left but an echo chamber filled with brainrot and annoying teens that can't even write in complete sentences.

forum is dead so they're not coming here
 
they can all go to looksfag.org
 
Should have been done in late 2023 when that Tik-Tok faggot made this shithole blow up

@Koomersarj
I genuinely wish him the absolute worst
 
They are easy to detect, a normie is a normie at the end of the day.
Most of them don’t stay around either, we’ve hardly seen any good 2025 users yet which are coming from bp tiktok.
 
8 replies in only 7 minutes?
1. not 8 distinct users
2. the fact that this is all a fear mongering post could muster is very telling
 
Reminder that most incels spaces on the internet are just Indians posting tate edits and Balkan copes, most are redpill copERs.

Stupid MSM considers Andrew tate viewers to be cels, so the term basically means anything at this point, far beyond the 300 dudes here

It's still something to be concerned over, IMO.

it'll dilute the manosphere at large and make it so that we don't have many pure blackpilled places to go, I certainly agree with u there. but imo that is the price to pay for the blackpill going mainstream and for the next generation of boys to realize what's wrong with our matriarchal society. that being said, both .is and IT are on their last legs and we're on the verge of collapse.

The registration already was 30000 before Adolescence was set up
 
The ones from mass killers fame tend to be decent. Andrew Tate crowd is cancer
 
from now on every new user should have to pay a 50 euro crypto fee.
 
theyre all gonna go to looksfags because as soon as the tate crowd realise were all legit losers theyre gonna go migrate to their masturbatory circlejerk of a hellsite to talk about the latest becky they gave the worst sex of her life to lmfao
 
it should be 5$ minimum to be on .is, they can go to looksfag.org

I'm pretty sure it was a little bit under 30k. But assuming that a lot of our recent traffic is coming from the hype involving the show, it is no wonder user quality here has recently went downhill.

Eh. I don't particularly care for the ones who are overtly edgy or compare mass shooters to religious messiahs like a certain sycophantic, Alek Minassian idolizing former user.
that being said, both .is and IT are on their last legs and we're on the verge of collapse.
Most of the users from 2024 are terrible.

@Koomersarj
I wasn't paying attention to the drama when it happened. What did he do?

We had some decent ones but yeah, most 2024cels & 2025cels have been garbage, especially the later ones

Caused looksmaxxing to go semi-viral, which in turn caused normnigs to discover .org & here

Damn, so that's why the userbase is completely different compared to when I first joined here.

The guy mogs most people here too. Really has no business being here in the first place, never mind having a role as a moderator.

they're kids but they made more of an effort to adapt to the forum's culture than 2025cels.

I hate how this thread I wrote accurately foreshadowed what is happening right now.

I've been hiding in the sewers for a while. it's actually over.
 
This is why we must bully GrAYcels

At this point, I'm starting to think it might become a necessity. All newfags do is clog up the forum with pointless shitposts 24/7. No actual incel discussion.

This must be stopped!

harsher hazing
Hazing newfags just because of their lack of establishment and join date is not a good idea, for the sake of both the forum and future turnouts. I wholeheartedly agree that each userbase turnout has progressively gotten worse over the years, but there have still been a handful of quality users recently who have shown to be quite useful in contributing to the forum. By old users mass discriminating against all newfags based on the aforementioned traits, all it will do is drive away potential quality members. Hazing should be done on the grounds of users showing bad faith and refusal to integrate only.
 
From the article:

“These are dangerous men who got drawn into this community for a variety of reasons, including body dysmorphia, suicidal ideation, mental health problems, or just a feeling of despair but now are being radicalised in a world view which is which poses a real threat to both women and young girls.”

In other words, men want to kill themselves, women are the most affected.

<<The forum, which this paper is not naming>>

JFL. What a shitty paper, they can't even just cite their sources.
