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 the largest incel forum to have existed outside of Reddit, [[Incels.co]] has always been seen as somewhat more extreme and cultish, e.g. by explicitly luring in new users under the label to "learn about the blackpill" and "[[LDAR|lay down a rot]]". | ||
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. | The more 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 main thing that distinguishes these members from traditional death cults is their lack of top-down philosophical teachings or zealous leaders. | |||
