Aspie1, Thank you for that info about the sub groups, I didn't know most of the terminology until very recently.
As stated before, there are no new rules.
Perhaps XFG's original post did come across as a bit hostile, but bear in mind that tact isn't a strong point in the case of many of us on the spectrum.
"Tact" was never a strength of mine.
As for the rest of it, there's an ocean of difference between "lonely men" and "incels." For the purposes of moderating this forum, an "incel" is someone who advocates for the rape/enslavement/murder of women. If other people want to hold on to a different definition, fine, but as per "official" WP lingo in regards to moderating, we're using the term as I've defined above. Therefore, any claim that banning "incels" is the equivalent of banning all single men is moronic.
Secondly, I'm quite familiar with both Red Pill/MGTOW, and they both have misogynistic underpinnings that don't belong here. WP has never been dependent on misogyny or misandry for it's survival, and I'm happy to see those who hold such views f_ck-off right outta here.
