Abstract
Due to their anti-feminist views, coupled with thier glorification of violence, Incel communities have gained public recognition as a toxic online community. We study the comment activity over time of three Incel-associated subreddits, and use rank divergence as a instrument to investigate the Incel lexicon in one of these subreddits. By understanding the activity of the community and the language they use to communicate, we can identify markers that indicate the presence of this community in other forums.
