The first large blackpilled communities were hosted on [[Reddit]], e.g. [[Braincels]]. Most of the discussions there were focused on lookism, in fact the term "blackpilled" was primarily used to say "it's all about looks". | The first large blackpilled communities were hosted on [[Reddit]], e.g. [[Braincels]].

However, [[Incels.co]] and [[incels.me]] have always been perceived as somewhat less moderated, somewhat more politically extreme and cultish, explicitly luring in new users under the label to "[[LDAR]]". | Many of the users in these subreddit regarded them as places for venting and shitposting,<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.

Blackpillers have overlap with [[alt-right]]ers, but most large blackpilled forums have banned any alt-righters, so the movements have never merged. The more cultish members actively "spreading the blackpill", which means using true but cherrypicked studies to evangelize others to "swallow" the blackpill narrative. Some go as far as using shaming tactics on those who do not espouse the blackpill narrative, sometimes through attacking a man's confidence in his masculinity (e.g. [[cuck]] or [[soyboy]]). The only thing that distinguishes these forums a traditional death cults is their lack of top-down philosophical teachings or zealous leaders. In fact, the admin of the currently largest blackpill forum, [[incels.co]] instead personally advocates the [[whitepill]], which does not advocate suicide for incels in a blanket manner. | |||
