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, 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, 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.

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". However, serious political activist threads never were taken very seriously, particularly in 2018. 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. We know there are no such leaders e.g. [[incels.co]] as the community admin, [[SergeantIncel]], instead advocates the [[whitepill]], which does not advocate suicide for incels in a any manner, but rather advocates acceptance and positivity. | Many members actively seek to "spread the blackpill", which means using true but often cherrypicked studies to evangelize others to "swallow" the blackpill narrative.

Blackpillers overlap with [[alt-right]]ers in some of their [[tradcon]] views, but most large blackpilled forums have continuously banned alt-righters,{{citation needed}} so these movements have never formally merged. After the banning of [[Braincels|/r/braincels]], a politically neutral forum, the only blackpill forums left were dominated by vocal traditional conservatives who began incorporating larger media narratives and Jordan Peterson language about monogamy/marriage into the blackpill, hence the current blackpill definition on the wiki. | Blackpillers overlap with [[alt-right]]ers in some of their [[tradcon]] views, but most large blackpilled forums have continuously banned alt-righters,{{citation needed}} so these movements have never formally merged.
