Blackpillers are somewhat in opposition to the [[redpill]] philosophy.

Blackpillers mostly believe in [[biological essentialism|biological essentialism]] and evolutionary explanations for human social and sexual behavior (see [[Scientific Blackpill]]). Many of these beliefs are not new to academia at all, in fact, they often draw from scientific literature that predates what blackpillers consider a new [[gynocentrism|gynocentric]] monoculture in the social sciences (e.g. [[Briffault's law]], [[Bateman's principle]] and [[sexy sons hypothesis]]).

Not all incels are blackpillers and [[noncel blackpiller|not all blackpillers are incels]]. The media often conflate the two.  More generally, a blackpill is any uncomfortable truth associated with extreme negativity, pessimism and fatalism.
