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, more tradcon and cultish such as [[incels.co]], e.g. with members explicitly luring in newcomers under the slogan to "learn about the blackpill" and "[[LDAR|lay down a rot]]".<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/File:Bbb.png</ref>  | 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   | The more cultish members of blackpilled forums tell other incels to commit suicide and heavily guard social acceptance around the term 'blackpill'. They 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 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]]).  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.
