Many of the users in these subreddits regarded them as places for shitposting and venting,<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 coexisted due to some members taking the shitposting very seriously. However the other two largest incel forums, [[Incels.co]] and [[incels.me]] have always been perceived as somewhat more politically extreme and cultish, e.g. explicitly luring in new users under the label to learn about the blackpill and "[[LDAR]]".

The cultish members actively seek to "spread the blackpill" to spark a revolution, which means using true but often 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]]). Seemingly, the only thing that distinguishes these members from a traditional death cults is their lack of top-down philosophical teachings or zealous leaders. We know this isn't actually the case for e.g. [[incels.co]] as the community admin instead advocates the [[whitepill]], which does not advocate suicide for incels in a blanket manner.

Blackpillers overlap with [[alt-right]]ers in some of their [[tradcon]] views, but most large blackpilled forums have continuously banned alt-righters, so these movements have never merged.
