Incel
[edit]Good to see someone questioning the news generally. On the subject of incel, the article is full of mistruths. I don't know know if you saw my comments before they were removed. The article starts with Alek Minassian in the lede and the criticism incels have received. Although the article later acknowledges the judge found out much (I don't think there was ever any evidence of any of it being true) of his motivation was a lie, it should not have such importance in the lede without mention of the fact that it was found out to be have been a lie. The contributors mention how it is adhering to those who self-identify or form part of a community or ideology, yet mentions many killers not in that way connected with incel ideology, such as George Sodini. All they have with Sodini is that he hated women and killed out of revenge. They have not a single shred of evidence he was ever part of that community or anything 'incel'. Chris Harper-Mercer they desperately try to connect up with that ideology as him being 'involuntarily celibate' and indeed he does even mention he was sexless in his manifesto and how he celebrated Elliot Rodger, as he done a bunch of other killers and the majority thrust of his motive according to various pieces of evidence (him telling his Luciferian friend he was molested as a child by Christians, him posting to his friend video showing the beheading of two 12 year old Christian girls, him initially selecting out people based on religion for killing and him talking about ascending the demonic hierachy in his manifesto) was his anti-Christianity. There is no mention that he ever self identified with the 'incel' movement or community, just that he was sexless and celebrated one of many mass shooters of a variety of backgrounds. Even claims he said he was a 'virgin, involuntary so' merely classes him as an 'involuntary celibate' not the definition in the article lede (a member of an online subculture).
Nicholas Cruz may have praised Elliot Rodgers (as he probably did other killers) but there is no evidence he called himself an 'incel' or follower of the ideologies. I don't believe it ever surface at trial as a motive in the attack. He was rejected by his girlfriend, but you know what: so is almost everyone who has ever had a girlfriend at some point in their lives. I prefer the label 'chronic unrequited love' to 'involuntary celibate' because it cuts more clearly to the actual issue and the fact that not all of them are known to be celibates. The article says Scott Beierle was a 'follower of incel ideologies for some time'. It cites a report on terrorism which says the same thing, but this report staggeringly cites as it's unambiguous source an ambiguous news article by Buzzfeed which said he 'appeared' to be going by his attitude and saying he was like (hot topic of the day) Elliot Rodger as an adolescent (20+ years prior). He never mentioned he was part of the community or ideology for ANY span of time or even if he was celibate (he was said to never have had visitors by his housemate, but he came home late at night frequently; all he said was that "if I can't find one decent female to live with, I will find many indecent females to die with", he doesn't mention that he was a virgin or sexless just that he was uncontent with what he was getting (if anything, but we don't base things like this on assumptions)). It mentions Stephen Paddock, who was married at one point and in a long marriage-like relationship at the time of the shooting, and there was no evidence he was ever part of the community or ideology besides an ambiguous amount of people who may have praised him that they do not source. Tobias Rathjen the article admits experts say his motive was not incel ideologically driven, and there is no evidence he was ever part of that community or ideology, or even formed part of the basis of his act, just sexless. It mentions Cole Carini, who plotted an attack. I have found no evidence he was ever part of the community or ideology, and in fact the police reports say he had a serious girlfriend for a number of years. They even mention a security guard who stomped on a homeless person who they say was an 'incel'. This officer NEVER self-identified as an incel, never even called himself involuntary celibate as far as I can tell but did say he was sexless for 4 years. The prosecution took this and said he appeared to be 'involuntary celibate'. Wikipedia has that written up like he self-identified or was found to be an 'incel': a member of an online subculture. In terms of successful killers who have killed 2 or more people, only Elliot Rodgers, George Sodini and Scott Beierle where motivated by similar ideology from the years 2009-2022, and as mentioned Sodini had no connections whatsoever while the closest connection with Scott Beierle was when he specified he was like Elliot Rodger as an adolescent. There has been shown to have been only 2 such killers who used the forums: Elliot Rodgers and Jake Davison from the period 2014-2022, and there is no evidence Jake Davison killed out of incel ideology, including no posts ever praising any mass killer or talking about any kind of bloody retribution. According to my research, there are about 100 such mass killers expected over a 5 year period (I believe I even excluded gang-related).
If you would like to discuss this privately, please let me know how. The fact that recently there was a stalker (Jacob Yerkes) who was branded an incel (he never praised any 'incel', he was never shown connected with the incel community, he never was shown to have used any incel lingo, people just assumed it because he was a stalker and said women have rape fantasies) by the press without ANY evidence actually presented to support it shows how the media has been using this community as a scapegoat with some kind of agenda. It appears Wikipedia has happily joined this agenda. 193.119.44.239 (talk) 06:46, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
