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.

Many, if not most, 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.

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. | 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. |
