For the fun of it, I decided to archive the "Inceldom Discussion" board on incels.is, and have it as a SQLite database. It isn't perfect, and I just harvested the raw HTML from the comments themselves, but it should be serviceable for an archive. Hopefully I didn't fuck too much up.
For reference, the schema is:
CREATE TABLE `comments`(`id` INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, `author` TEXT, `timestamp` TEXT, `content` TEXT, `context` TEXT);
ID is the post ID, and it should be sequential with gaps.
Author is just that
Timestamp is the ISO 8601 format, taken from the posts.
Content is the HTML dump of the comment, including weird XenForo stuff.
Context is the thread title.
Thank you so much. This information will be of great help in my formal study of incelese.
Incelese Morphology: A Quantitative Study
(this post was inspired by @Kosher Dill 's study of the Gnomish language)
Learners of incelese are often stumped by its lexicon, which can alternate between high and low levels of sophistication at the drop of a hat.
Most incelese words have their roots in bodybuilding and pickup artist culture; examples include "alpha", "mogged", and even the suffix "-cel" it
celf. There is another sizable chunk of the lexicon lifted from evolutionary biology and anatomy: "maxilla", "zygos", "DOM", "dual mating strategy", "canthal tilt", etc. This sudden shift between registers can be jarring, and requires copious study and practice to perfect.
Another hurdle to the would-be incelese learner is the language's heavily agglutinative morphology. Incels view the entire world through Vantablack-tinted lenses, and the way they form words is indicative of this.
It is said that the Indo-Europeans assigned genders to words by linking them to the Earth Mother or Sky Father. Incels do the same, assigning meanings to words by linking them to the Foid or the Chad.
Every single observation an incel makes is inevitable linked back to his own sexual frustration. "It's literally over for dyingcels". "Britaincels cricketmogged by Chadstralia". "Take the poopill; I got poop-mogged by a Chad who forgot to flush". People with actual life experience and perspective find it difficult to write in this mode. Thus, the dedicated incelese learner cannot simply
learn the language; he must also
internalize the incel mentality, putting a straitjacket on his mind, so to speak.
In this paper, we will study three of the most productive morphemes in the incelese language: "-cel" (meaning: an incel with the given trait), "-mog" (meaning: to dominate at something), and "-pilled" (meaning: having made a grand realization). These suffixes form nouns, verbs, and adjectives respectively, so studying them will give us a good idea of how the various word classes are formed and employed.
We can use SQLite and ripgrep to isolate instances of these morphemes:
SQL:
sqlite> .output mogs
sqlite> SELECT content from comments WHERE content REGEXP "\W\w+?mog";
sqlite> .output cels
sqlite> SELECT content from comments WHERE content REGEXP "\W\w+?cel[s|(dom)]?";
sqlite> .output pills
sqlite> SELECT content from comments WHERE content REGEXP "\W\w+?pilled";
Bash:
rg --no-line-number -o -e "\w+?cel[s|(dom)]?" cels | sort | uniq -i > cel_types
rg --no-line-number -o -e "\W\w+?mog" mogs | sort | uniq -i > mog_types
rg --no-line-number -o -e "\W\w+?pilled" pills | sort | uniq -i > pill_types
The regexes I'm employing do not account for multi-word formations, phrasal adjectives, or hyphenations ("small dickcel", "canthal tilt mog", "curry-fart-pilled"). This data is a limited subset of actual usages.
Some common variants from each class:
- [age]- and [birth year]-cels. The site's userbase leans young, mostly late teens and early twenties. There's even mention of a 14-year-old "2007cel", which is... depressing, to say the least.
- [physical feature]-cels. Some are pretty general ("haircel", "heightcel", "facecel"), while others go into excruciating detail ("6inchwristcel", "[gay]alienskullcel", "crookednosecel").
- [ethnicity or country]-cels. There is a variant for every ethnicity and country imaginable, including at least 21 mutations of "currycel".
- [verb or tense phrase]-cels. "-cel" here is used as a present participle or agentive marker, similar to the particle "-vala" in Hindustani (or should I say "currycelese"). Examples include "Checkingyourprofileforfirsttimeinawhilecel", "Dadfoundpornonmyphonecel", and "YourParentsThinkYourGaycel".
- [thing I like]-cels. From these, we can infer that incels like a very narrow range of things: "Ponycel", "Tomokocel", "RickandMortycel", "Redtubecel", etc.
- [body part]-mog. This is the most common kind of mog, and also the hardest to get back at: "bicepmog", "maxillamog", "antefacemog", etc.
- [personality trait]-mog. "wisdommog", "maturitymog", "dignitymog", "[Dark] Triadmog" and so on. For obvious reasons, these are not used as often or as intensely as body-part mogs.
- [action]-mog. "drawmog", "dancemog", "virginwalkmog". These are the most rarely used "-mog" variants. This makes sense, because to get mogged at something, you have to get off your ass and actually do it.
- [ideology]-pilled. The most common variants are "Bluepilled", "Redpilled", and "Blackpilled", but there are a few others: "Nihilismpilled", "Islampilled", "Breadpilled" (which in this context refers to Christianity, not woke leftism).
- [thing that keeps me from getting laid]-pilled. These are used almost exclusively by those who struggle with the given feature: e.g "going bald was the biggest hairpill".
- [sex crime]-pilled. "Rapepilled", "Incestpilled", "Pedopilled", and so on. Because if society won't give you what you want, why not take it for yourself in the most horrific manner possible?
- [philosopher]-pilled. The two big ones are "Nietszchepilled" and "Schopenhauerpilled", which is to be expected from a motley bunch of edgelords.
In conclusion, my dick is tiny, and women refuse to touch it. This is a cosmic injustice that must be rectified.
