Blackpill: Difference between revisions

The '''blackpill''' is a philosophy that men's dating problems require systemic rather than personal solutions, if a solution exists at all.<ref>https://dalrock.wordpress.com/2011/11/21/she-felt-unloved/#comment-22914</ref> It has emerged in opposition to the [[redpill]] movement which instead promotes [[work on yourself|self-improvement]] and [[Fapstinence|various dating tricks]]. More generally, a 'blackpill' refers to a proclaimed fact with particular dire and inevitable consequences (see [[pill jargon]]).

On incel boards like [[/r/braincels]] and [[incels.co]], and following [[chadfishing]] experiments and insights from [[online dating]], the blackpill increasingly referred to [[lookism]] with a [[good genes hypothesis|good-gener]] bent. For these blackpillers, ugly, 'genetically inferior' men have no chance of getting laid in an unconstrained mating context as women are assumed to choose based on [[looks]] rather than [[personality]] or effort.

The media often conflates incels with these blackpillers while only a minority of incels actually subscribe to the blackpill.
