incels.is, formerly known as incels.is and incels.me,[1][2] is an English-language incel forum founded in 2017 after the banning of r/incels.[3] It since gained notoriety for being the largest English-speaking incel internet forum,[1][4][5] and became a main subject of academic literature treating the incel online subculture.[6][7]

History[edit]​

The incel subculture became an online phenomenon in the early 2010s, during which various chat rooms and message boards dedicated to it started to emerge.[8]
The website was founded on November 8, 2017, after the banning of the r/incels subreddit.[3][9] The founders, "Marquis" and "Serge", as reported by BuzzFeed News, also run the suicide encouragement forum ******************. In the same article, they claim that both forums are intended as support communities.[10][11]
Over years, it has switched between .me, .co and .is TLD extensions due to suspension from domain registrars.[12][1][2]

Site characteristics[edit]​

The website is a primary gathering place for incels.[13] Registration is approval-based. The moderators ban women and LGBT individuals from joining, justifying so by stating that the forum is oriented towards straight men.[14][15][16]
It is composed of public and registered message boards for self-described incels to discuss their personal experiences.[1]

Demographics[edit]​

Despite common stereotypes of incels as young white men,[17] according to the website 40% of its users are of an ethnic minority background.[18]
According to a 2019 website poll, one in four members were on the autism spectrum, and two thirds considered suicide.[19]

Public image[edit]​

Both of the website's public and hidden content are characterized by hate speech and trolling.[20][15][21][22] The Guardian reports that users on the website encourage mass shootings.[23] Due to its content and moderation, it has faced suspension from domain registrar services.[12]
