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 on experiments and 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]].

However, a number of 'blackpill' incel forums outside Reddit have 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]]". 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". | Many members actively seek to "spread the blackpill", which means using true but often cherrypicked studies to evangelize others to "swallow" the blackpill narrative.
