(→Origin of the term: the note about someoen else adopting it (and "modern" agreement) should come after quoting Paragon. Initial focus should be on him. Also do we have the date of this quote, or the quote where BP was first usd?) |

The media often conflates incels with the blackpill while only a minority of incels actually subscribes to the blackpill. Even 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 and catastrophizing, a [[redpill]], i.e. suppressed knowledge, with a particular gruesome, inevitable outcome. | The media often conflates incels with the blackpill while only a minority of incels actually subscribes to the blackpill.

The term blackpill was first used in (which month of?) 2011 by a blog commenter named ''Paragon'' on the Dalrock anti-[[feminist]] 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. Facing [[dating]] difficulties in Ontario (Canada), Paragon moved from Canada to the Philippines, a less prosperous country than Canada, and married there.

The term was later (when?) adopted by [[Omega Virgin Revolt|OmegaVirginRevolt's blog]]. 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. | ==Evolution== | ||
