Blackpill memes on Reddit were largely 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. | |||
Still, forums like [[incel.co]] have been 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]]".<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/File:Bbb.png</ref> | Still, forums like [[incel.co]] have 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]]".<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/File:Bbb.png</ref> | ||
Some of the most cultish members in blackpilled forums tell incels to commit suicide and actively seek to "spread the blackpill", which means using cherrypicked studies to evangelize others to "swallow" the blackpill narrative. | Some of the most cultish members in blackpilled forums tell incels to commit suicide and they actively seek to "spread the blackpill", which means using cherrypicked studies to evangelize others to "swallow" the blackpill narrative and shaming non-believers as [[cuck]]s or [[soyboy]]s. | ||
Some do this to lessen feelings of shame or guilt among incels and relieve them from a false hope,<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 do this to lessen feelings of shame or guilt among incels and relieve them from a false hope,<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". Seemingly, the main thing that distinguishes the most cultish members from traditional death cults is their lack of leaders. On [[incels.co]] there are no such leaders as the community admin, [[SergeantIncel]] advocates the [[whitepill]] which is all about acceptance and positivity. | ||
