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 [[gynocentrism|gynocentric]] monoculture in the social sciences (e.g. [[Briffault's law]], [[Bateman's principle]] and [[sexy sons hypothesis]]). | Blackpillers mostly believe in [[biological essentialism|biological essentialism]] and evolutionary explanations for human social and sexual behavior (see [[Scientific Blackpill]]).

The growing popularity of the blackpill is a result of the failure of the [[mainstream media]] and society of [[bluepill|bluepilled]] pontification, to account for otherwise inexplicable phenomena such as the [[halo effect]], [[hybristophilia]], [[cacophobia]] and how female choosiness is leads to [[hypergamy|female hypergamy]]. | The growing popularity of the blackpill is a result of the failure of the [[mainstream media]] and society of [[bluepill|bluepilled]] pontification, to account for otherwise inexplicable phenomena such as the [[halo effect]], [[hybristophilia]], [[cacophobia]] and how female choosiness is leads to [[hypergamy|female hypergamy]]. | ||

The term blackpill was first used by a blog commenter named ''Paragon'' on the Dalrock anti-[[feminist]] blog in 2011 and later adopted by [[Omega Virgin Revolt|OmegaVirginRevolt's blog]]. In his comment, Paragon defined the blackpill to mean (paraphrased) '<nowiki/>''there's no personal solution to systemic [[dating]] problems for men and only societal hardship (such as mass poverty) can solve men's systemic [[dating]] issues'''. In other words, some blackpillers don't believe that a [[Sexual Marxism|sexual marxist]], wealthy welfare state is possible. Paragon, having [[dating]] difficulties in Canada, moved from Canada to the Philippines, a less prosperous country than Canada, and married there. It should be noted, though that ''not all incels or incel boards, or blackpillers promote or believe in the original blackpill definition''. In Paragon's words, the blackpill was:<ref name="ref208"></ref> | The term blackpill was first used by a blog commenter named ''Paragon'' on the Dalrock anti-[[feminist]] blog in 2011 and later adopted by [[Omega Virgin Revolt|OmegaVirginRevolt's blog]].

Reddit's incel boards were mostly politically neutral and the term "blackpill" mostly meant "it's all about looks and hence [[it's over]]". | Reddit's incel boards were mostly politically neutral and the term "blackpill" mostly meant "it's all about looks and hence [[it's over]]". | ||
After the banning of [[Braincels|/r/braincels]], however, blackpillers left on [[incels.co]] were dominated by vocal traditional conservatives who have been incorporating more political goals such as reinstating enforced [[monogamy]] and [[marriage]] into the blackpill. | After the banning of [[Braincels|/r/braincels]], however, blackpillers left on [[incels.co]] were dominated by vocal traditional conservatives who have been incorporating more political goals such as reinstating enforced [[monogamy]] and [[marriage]] into the blackpill. | ||
Tradcon blackpillers push for a return to [[tradcon|traditions]], [[sexual sublimation]], [[monogamy]] and the [[Scientific Blackpill (Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men|'natural subordination']] of women. This is seen in accordance with the [[greatest happiness principle]] as even women themselves are thought to be currently unhappy.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Self-rated_female_happiness_has_been_declining_since_the_1970s_in_the_US</ref> | |||
The social conservatism and focus on [[sexual sublimation]] reminds of the philosophy of 20th century English ethnologist [[J. D. Unwin]]. Most tradcon blackpillers are atheist, but some promote cultural Christianity or other religions. | |||
Other blackpillers are rather anti-[[tradcon]], entirely fatalist and offer no solution but [[cope|coping]] by [[meme|shitpost]]ing. | |||
