The first large blackpilled communities were hosted on [[Reddit]]. [[R/incels|/r/incels]] (a branch of [[r/truecels]]) being the first major incel community to use the term 'blackpill'. Most of the discussions there focused on [[roastie|slut-shaming]] 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]].

Many, if not most used blackpill memes 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 largest incel forum to have existed outside of Reddit, [[Incels.co]] has always been seen as somewhat more extreme and cultish, e.g. with members explicitly luring in newcomers under the slogan to "learn about the blackpill" and "[[LDAR|lay down a rot]]". | Many, if not most used blackpill memes 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 of blackpilled forums try to tell others to commit suicide and heavily guard social acceptance around the term 'blackpill'. | ||
Many members actively seek to "spread the blackpill", which means using true but often cherrypicked studies to evangelize others to "swallow" the blackpill narrative. Some do this to lessen feelings of shame or guilt among incels,<ref>https://incels.co/threads/what-are-you-doing-to-spread-the-blackpill.53911/#post-995860,</ref> some want to change discourse in society,<ref>https://incels.co/threads/infiltrating-universities-to-spread-the-blackpill.67531/</ref>, while others are vocal about trying to full-on "spark a revolution". | |||
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]]). | 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. | Seemingly, the main thing that distinguishes these members from traditional death cults is their lack of top-down philosophical teachings or zealous leaders. | ||
