The black pill refers to uncomfortable truths about dating with an assumption that either nothing can be done about it or it would require large-scale cultural or evolutionary changes. Self-identified incels differ on whether or not culture can be changed without evolutionary adaptations with regards to systemic dating issues for men. Some argue only evolutionary adaptations can change peoples sexual proclivities (which would take thousands or millions of years). Social darwinist blackpillers tend to promote fatalism during advocation of [[incelicide]]. Other blackpillers use the blackpill to mean fatalism due to a belief in [[biological existentialism]]. However, not all blackpillers are social darwinists or biological essentialists and therefore do not use the term to mean fatalism, and do not use prescriptivist implications to the blackpill. | |||

Generally, the [[bluepill|blue pill]] refers to the denial of uncomfortable truths, the [[redpill|red pill]] refers to the revelation of an uncomfortable truth (an analogy to the film The Matrix), and the black pill refers to an uncomfortable truth that leads some incels to despair without societal or evolutionary changes to correct the uncomfortable truth. The term blackpill was first used by a blog commenter named [[Paragon]] as described in the [[#Original Definition|"Original definition" section]] below, however that original definition is not the one used on this wiki, and is increasingly distant from common usage of the term. In the [[manosphere]], the three pills are more narrowly concerned with social and romantic life, and they represent different tribes or ideologies with differing views on issues like the importance of looks in dating. The three ideologies can be summarized as follows (adapted from the BlackPillScience subreddit<ref>https://reddit.com/r/blackpillscience</ref>): | Generally, the [[bluepill|blue pill]] refers to the denial of uncomfortable truths, the [[redpill|red pill]] refers to the revelation of an uncomfortable truth (an analogy to the film The Matrix), and the black pill refers to an uncomfortable truth that leads some incels to despair without societal or evolutionary changes to correct the uncomfortable truth.
