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' and [[/r/braincels]] having been 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 primarily used to say "it's all about looks and hence [[it's over]]".
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]].

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".

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 merged. After the banning of [[Braincels|/r/braincels]], a more politically neutral forum, the only blackpill forums left on [[incels.co]] were dominated by vocal [[tradcons]] who incorporated larger media narratives and Jordan Peterson language about monogamy/marriage into the blackpill, hence the current blackpill definition on the wiki.
=== Alt-right and racism ===

=== Blackpill science ===


Largely separate from these communities, people have begun to share and read scientific studies on dating and human sexual behavior on [https://old.reddit.com/r/BlackPillScience /r/BlackPillScience], which later lead to the compilation of the [[Scientific Blackpill]] article, a separate project than the rest of the wiki, created by incels.co janitor RageAgainstTheTDL and currently stewarded by [[:User:Bibipi|Bibipi]] and [[:User:Altmark22|Altmark22]].
