The blackpill can be seen as a counterweight to the prevalent and bluepilled assumption that having a poor social and [[romance|romantic]] life is mostly [[Neoliberalism|one's own fault]] and/or a matter of cultivating a positive [[personality]]. It provides an basis whereby one can reject the barrage of "self-improvement" advice that is ubiquitous in media, advertising and in day-to-day [[platitude]] and [[virtue signaling]]. | The blackpill can be seen as a counterweight to the prevalent and bluepilled assumption that having a poor social and [[romance|romantic]] life is mostly [[Neoliberalism|one's own fault]] and/or a matter of cultivating a positive [[personality]].

== Blackpilled communities == | |||
The first large blackpilled communities were hosted on [[Reddit]], e.g. [[braincels]]. Most of the discussions there were focused on lookism, but also on traditionalism. | |||
Many of the users there regarded them as places to vent and shitpost,<ref>http://redditsearch.io/?term=braincels%20vent%20&dataviz=false&aggs=false&subreddits=&searchtype=comments&search=true&start=0&end=1582986983&size=1000</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/IncelExit/comments/dqddyw/what_does_exit_mean_in_this_sub/f62negc/</ref> but near-cultish elements have arguably coexisted. However, [[Incels.co]] and [[incels.me]] have always been perceived as somewhat less moderated, somewhat more politically extreme and cultish, luring in new users under the label to [[LDAR]]. | |||
Largely separate from these communities, people have begun to study dating-releated scientific studies on [https://old.reddit.com/r/BlackPillScience /r/BlackPillScience], which later lead to the compilation of the [[Scientific Blackpill]] on this wiki. | |||
