According to the source:"To avoid promoting the websites investigated in this report, we refrain from naming incel dedicated forums and websites to the best of our ability. The main forum we researched for this report is referred to as “the incel forum” or “the forum,” whilst adjacent forums and websites are described according to their main focus."
