===Comparison to other pills | ===Conclusion=== | ||
Each one of the central themes plays a part in deriving incel vocabulary. Looks being necessary, unevenly distributed, and objective provides two familiar categories: the [[incel]] and [[Chad]]. The social role of looks is also reflected in the use of the label [[Stacy]] to denote a better-looking female. However, there is more space left for disagreement over what constitutes a 'Stacy.' | |||
It is often suggested that the blackpill means that "[[it's over]]" for incels with poor looks and low [[social status]] or other flaws—that is, that they have next to no chance of '[[ascension|ascending]]' or attaining sexual and overall fulfillment. The 'blackpill' also forms a basis for the occasional semi-humorous spin-off that depicts a depressing human tendency, for instance, the '[[dogpill]].' | |||

==Comparison to other pills== | |||
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 uncomfortable truths that either nothing can be done about or it would require changes difficult to attain, e.g. large-scale cultural changes. The term ''blackpill'' was presumably first used by a blog commenter named [[Paragon]] (see the [[#Original Definition|"Original definition" section]] below). 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 uncomfortable truths that either nothing can be done about or it would require changes difficult to attain, e.g. large-scale cultural changes.

Both the redpill and blackpill acknowledge the importance of looks etc. for dating, but the redpill claims that one can leverage this knowledge for one's social and romantic success (internal locus of control), whereas the blackpill assumes that for some men there is no help without changing the conditions of mating altogether (external locus of control). The blackpill can be seen as a counterweight to the prevalent and bluepilled assumption that having a poor social and romantic life is mostly [[Neoliberalism|one's own fault]]. | Both the redpill and blackpill acknowledge the importance of looks etc. for dating, but the redpill claims that one can leverage this knowledge for one's social and romantic success (internal locus of control), whereas the blackpill assumes that for some men there is no help without changing the conditions of mating altogether (external locus of control).

==Disagreement over solutions== | |||
Some self-identified incels argue only changing human nature itself can solve the systemic outlined above, which would either require genetic engineering, thousands of years of evolution or selective breeding. Some social darwinist blackpillers promote fatalism and advocate [[incelicide]]. Other blackpillers believe in [[biological essentialism]]. However, not all blackpillers are fatalistic. Some expect a return to more traditional sex roles and emphasis on marriage and monogamy may not be a solution for everyone, but could at least improve the situation greatly for most people. | Some self-identified incels argue only changing human nature itself can solve the systemic outlined above, which would either require genetic engineering, thousands of years of evolution or selective breeding.
