The first large blackpill communities were hosted on [[Reddit]]. [[R/incels|/r/incels]] (a quarantine evasion of [[/r/truecels]]) was the first major incel community to use the term 'blackpill' and [[/r/braincels]] was the largest one. Most of the discussions there focused on [[roastie|slut-shaming]] and [[lookism]], largely ruminating on [[Tinder experiments|experiments]] and memes from [[r9k]], but also creating new ones, especially memes on lookism such as [[St. Blackops2cel]]. | The first large blackpill communities were hosted on [[Reddit]].

As of 2022, incels.is is the largest blackpill community, but it is explicitly an incel community, not a general community for the blackpill.<ref>https://incels.is/threads/rules-and-faq.799/</ref> | ||
Blackpillers mostly believe in [[biological essentialism|biological essentialism]] and evolutionary explanations for human social and sexual behavior. Many of these beliefs are not new at all, but draw from established scientific literature, e.g. on [[Briffault's law]], [[Bateman's principle]], [[Fisherian runaway]] and [[sexy sons hypothesis]]. | Blackpillers mostly believe in [[biological essentialism|biological essentialism]] and evolutionary explanations for human social and sexual behavior.

Largely separate from other incel or blackpill communities, some communities like to share and read scientific studies on dating and human sexual behavior on [https://old.reddit.com/r/BlackPillScience /r/BlackPillScience], which later lead to the creation of the [[Scientific Blackpill]] article. These groups proposed a more extended definition of the blackpill, revolving around determinism rather than simple lookism, and weren't prescriptive in regards to the consequences of such lines of evidence. | Largely separate from other incel or blackpill communities, some communities like to share and read scientific studies on dating and human sexual behavior on [https://old.reddit.com/r/BlackPillScience /r/BlackPillScience], which later lead to the creation of the [[Scientific Blackpill]] article.
