Alana
Alana is a Canadian woman who created an online support forum in 1997 for young people struggling with social relationships and dating, particularly focusing on those who felt involuntarily celibate; her initiative, named 'Alana's Involuntary Celibacy Project,' inadvertently contributed to the coining of the term 'incel,' which has since evolved to represent a troubling subculture associated with misogyny.
