His Facebook post reads-Private (Recruit) Minassian Infantry 00010, wishing to speak to Sgt. 4chan please. C23249161,” reads the post. “The Incel Rebellion has already begun! We will overthrow all the Chads and Stacys! All hail the Supreme Gentleman Elliot Rodger!” In many online communities, “Chads and Stacys” is slang for attractive, non-socially awkward people.
Of course Elliot Rodger was a mass killer and apparently Minassian’s idol.

Generally MRAs tend to believe in systematic anti male bias against men in various social structures but they would probably be counted as “chads” by self identified incels. MRAs are frequently denounced on incel web sites and vice versa.

" MRAs are frequently denounced on incel web sites and vice versa..."

You're confusing the PUA community and the MRA community. The incel demo is part and parcel of the MRA community, and criticizes the PUA community.

I can find you plenty of “rights-based” MRA types who get trashed on incel boards.

Viewing incel culture as a subset or MRA culture obscure very real differences in their concerns and agendas. They are all part of a larger group of resentful men but I think your ontology is incorrect.

This pretty much confirms what he is.
