The media often conflates incels with the blackpill, but all incels don't share the blackpill philosophy. They also falsely insist a belief in the blackpill is something all self-identified incels share. Many self-identified incels do not believe in the blackpill, and many reject the [[pill jargon|pill dichotomy]] altogether. In more general terms, a 'blackpill' usually refers to anything associated with extreme fatalism, nihilism, pessimism, negativity, catastrophizing etc. | |||

The term blackpill was first used in 2011 by a blog commenter named ''Paragon'' on the Dalrock anti-[[feminist]] blog and later adopted by [[Omega Virgin Revolt|OmegaVirginRevolt's blog]]. Paragon said only mass poverty could solve men's systemic [[dating]] issues, as he saw that as the only mechanism that could bind women to men short of eugenics. Modern blackpillers agree with Paragon that female desire is inflexible and that psychology is mostly determined by genetics. However modern blackpillers favor mechanisms such as promiscuity-shaming instead of poverty, to bind individual women to individual men. Facing [[dating]] difficulties in Ontario (Canada), Paragon moved from Canada to the Philippines, a less prosperous country than Canada, and married there.

'''Bluepill''': The [[bluepill]] is pretty much the complete opposite of the blackpill. Bluepillers tend to deny even biology determinism, and propose self-help, personality-altering, individualism, [[neoliberalism]], and other self-actualization type philosophies. They also promote an overall positivity as a solution to inceldom. | '''Bluepill''': The [[bluepill]] is pretty much the complete opposite of the blackpill.

For example, the notion of chivalry (man proves himself to and protects the woman), nationalism, obedience can quickly result in exploitation of low-status males and provoke wars between nations, or also possibly authoritarian outrages such as mass killings. It is a balancing act between maintaining order on the one hand and preventing highly coordinated conflict on the other. | ||
