The first large blackpilled communities were hosted on [[Reddit]], e.g. [[Braincels]]. Most of the discussions there focused on [[roastie|sluttiness]] and [[lookism]], largely ruminating memes from [[r9k]], but also contributing novels ones. In fact, the term "blackpilled" was primarily used to say "it's all about looks and hence [[it's over]]". | 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]]". | ||
Members of the more cultish blackpill communities actively seek to "spread 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. | Members of the more cultish blackpill communities actively seek to "spread the blackpill", which means using true but cherrypicked studies to evangelize others to "swallow" the blackpill narrative.
