Serious When did you discover the term "incels" and what was your first reaction to it?

[Deleted member 27249]

For me it was in late 2015 early 2016. It was a post on foreveralone made by a woman "those incel guys are crazy" or something like that. And yes I browsed foreveralone back then, I just needed anyone to relate. So I went to the sub r/incels which had less than a thousand subs at that point. I remember seeing those comments and initially thinking these guys are crazy. I left shortly after and kept checking back in every few days despite me still thinking these guys are crazy. Until I saw a tinder expiremnt. I was on tinder at the time trying hard to find a girl and having 0 humiliating luck. But that chadfish had dozens of girls messaging him first with a misogynstic bio. I remember the expirement it was some french guy supposdly. It radicalized me. I started taking the blackpill seriously. I made a new account and the rest is history

i was blackpilled the instant i saw r/braincels because i already suspected the reason i didnt have gf was due to my looks

On r/truecels before r/incels was born. I looked into the subreddit and I found the first group of people I have ever felt I truly belonged with. It was a beautiful feeling.

Huh it seems I was the only one who had a bluepilled initial reaction. Makes sense I used to be a low T pussy back then

I had perceived them as radical ideologist because of elliot ,but then i found r/shortcels,but i had been blackpilled before even i found the term

Back in 2013 I believe when I saw ER on tv.

One time on IG I got into a fight with a feminist and she called me an incel. I had no idea what it meant so I googled it. It struck me hard how much I related to the term so I looked into it further and then I found this place.

I think most people already held black pilled ideologies before the term incel was even coined due to childhood experiences. I already knew that my life was shit because I'm ugly before I heard of what an incel was

Normies calling every sub chad male who criticizes women an incel is doing more to blackpill sub chad males than anything else tbh

I first heard about the blackpill way back in 2015-2016 I think. But didn't enquire further into it, too non-mainstream for my taste.

Then in 2018 I jumped down the mgtow rabbit hole on youtube. I don't remember how I first discovered incels, but by early 2019 I was lurking on braincels. Then I made my first ever reddit account just to post braincels.

For me it was around late 2018, when my parents started talking to me bout marriage. Because of that, I started doing research about how to be a good husband, what women like, etc and, as I am sure you can tell, that led me to MGTOW channels like Sandman, TFM, or Better Bachelor, then to subreddits like r/Blackpillscience, r/incels, and r/mgtow, and then to here.

As for my "first reaction", it was a mixed bag. I was never truly bluepilled, mostly thanks to my dad and Islam teaching me otherwise, and how women can be succubi, but I still had this delusion that I was normie tier or that woman didn't care "that much" about genetics. But it did cause me to spend a lot of nights thinking about the things I read or watched online, and even discussed some of these things with my brothers/parents

Also JFL at r/foreveralone. It's literally an incel subreddit who don't know they're incel

 

[kikecel]

the blackpill struck me when I reached 19, by then I knew its over for me and that im going to be a khhv forever

For me it was in 2014. I was a member of kiwi farms back then because of my interest in lolcows from browsing Encyclopedia Dramatica.

So someone from kiwi farms links to Elliot Rodger's posts on PUAHate, I don't remember if it was the same day or a few days after Elliot Rodger had you know... I dunno all I know is that PUAHate was still up and I lurked. On one of Elliot's posts, he described himself as an Incel and putting two and two, I assumed it was just a term someone used to describe a person that cannot have sex.

I didn't think much of it at the time tbh. I didn't start identifying as an incel until 2016 when I joined r/Incels.

I think I first heard about incels from BasedShaman on YouTube and then I instantly joined braincels
