Big inspiration for the question is the assertion I’ve seen on Lemmy a few times that this user base is as bad/misogynistic/hateful. But also just curious.

/b/ and /r9k/.
/b/ because edgy teenage humour. /r9k/ because that’s where the fellow incels hung out. Before incel got such a bad name.
At some point though i noticed that /b/ was sharing nazi/racist/homophobic “jokes” but they weren’t really funny and nobody really seemed to be laughing any more. And quit r9k because incel stopped meaning “foreveralone virgin” and started meaning “serial killer/sex offender in training”.
I was never into incels but /r9k/ did have some insane posts here and there that were interesting. The rest of what you said I’d agree with.
