    on one of the first ten or so Chapo episodes, they made a crack about incels and volcels

    the bit wound up having benefits in that it helped the subreddit develop as a safer space from the usual male worldview on reddit

      I think it was in reference to a Zack Snyder Superman capeshit movie. Man of Steel, maybe? The running bit was that Superman had super powers because he rejects Lois's advances, and thus, as a volcel, is the opposite of an incel. The bot on the old sub added a reference to the "protect our precious bodily fluids" gag from Dr. Strangelove.
