The first large blackpilled communities were hosted on [[Reddit]]. [[R/incels|/r/incels]] (a branch of [[/r/truecels]]) | The first large blackpilled communities were hosted on [[Reddit]]. [[R/incels|/r/incels]] (a branch of [[/r/truecels]]) was the first major incel community to use the term 'blackpill' and [[/r/braincels]] was the largest one. Most of the discussions there focused on [[roastie|slut-shaming]] and [[lookism]], largely ruminating on [[Tinder experiments|experiments]] and memes from [[r9k]], but also contributing novels ones, especially memes on lookism such as [[St. Blackops2cel]]. | ||
In fact, the term "blackpilled" was | In fact, the term "blackpilled" was often used to say "it's all about looks and hence [[it's over]]". Occasionally, though, "blackpills" with [[tradcon]] implications were also shared, e.g. about downsides of female promiscuity.<ref>https://incels.co/attachments/12-female-png.23783/</ref><ref>https://incels.co/threads/blackpill-101-infographics.54216/page-2#lg=thread-54216&slide=14</ref> | ||
=== Shitposting vs cult === | |||
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]]" on [[incels.co]]. | 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.

Some members 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. It is known there are no such leaders on [[incels.co]] as the community admin, [[SergeantIncel]], instead advocates the [[whitepill]], which does not advocate suicide for incels in any manner, but rather advocates acceptance and positivity. Serious blackpill political activism also was never taken seriously and it has never leaked into the "real life". | Some members 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]]).
