Incels did not become mainstream until Elliot Rodger in 2014, even then he was never an incel nor even liked them when he visited PUAHate. r/Incels was suspended off Reddit in November 2017 due to the fear of them becoming "radicalized" by some who were admiring Steven Paddock. I do know about Alana Boltwood, she created the forum in the late 90's as a small fourm for others, men & women. The whole Incel thing became mainstream untill Elliot Rodger (2014) then Alek Minassian in 2018, then the Joker film blew everything way out of proportion in 2019 and even then the Incel Community didn't even care about the hollywood film until some SJWs wrote trailer reviews about how the Joker film is a gateway to Incel violence, then wrote more when their wet dreamed incel mass murder spree didn't occur. Incels used it as a another meme same with Elliot Rodger who is only a ironic meme to incels. Most OG Incels do not even consider ER as an "incel" or an incel "Saint", only a overly memed out rich pretty boy with issues. The true incel "Saint" to them is the Frenchman, Morgan Lahaey. aka Saint BlackOps2cel. I fucking hate that name. Seriously. Those fucking idiots ruined that guy's life to a point that he had to remove himself from the Internet to save his sanity. The [terms that we see today](https://pic8.co/sh/DCrbMY.png) didn't really appear until late-2012 right around when Occupy Wall Street occured. I'm suspecting a more devious attempt at psychological warfare will appear later on to get rid or shutdown the WSB/$GME Stock crowd since demonizing them as "right-wing neo-nazis" isn't working. Since you've mentioned about being a troll on Tumblr around 2007 - 2011, I'm wondering if you ever trolled anyone who were part of DashCon (2013) or when Tumblr decided to go to war with 4Chan for two hours?
