什么是Blackpill rhetoric？
事情的缘起
今天注册了个Reddit号，感觉类似于国内百度贴吧。我在那个dating吧里首先就看到了一条“吧规”，标题十分醒目：
r/Dating is NOT the place to soapbox Incel/Blackpill rhetoric.

感觉对伴侣渴望甚至饥渴是全球性的啊，严重程度一点也不亚于国内，但是感觉有一个开放的交流平台可以用于讨论问题还是很有必要的。
里面提到了Incel和Blackpill，Incel应该是“非自愿独身者”吧，Blackpill我是一点也没有听说过，下面是chatGPT对这个词给出的解释。
Blackpill rhetoric refers to a set of beliefs and arguments commonly associated with certain online communities, particularly those focused on discussing dating, relationships, and societal dynamics. The term “blackpill” is derived from the “red pill” metaphor popularized by the movie “The Matrix,” where taking the red pill represents awakening to the harsh realities of the world.
Blackpill rhetoric often revolves around extremely pessimistic and deterministic views regarding dating and human interactions. Some key themes and beliefs associated with blackpill rhetoric include:
Looks-based determinism: Blackpill adherents often believe that physical appearance is the most important factor in determining one’s success in dating and relationships. They argue that factors such as personality, charisma, and other traits are relatively insignificant compared to looks.
Involuntary celibacy (Incel) ideology: Many blackpill adherents identify with the incel (involuntary celibate) community, which is characterized by individuals who feel they are unable to find romantic or sexual partners despite desiring such relationships. Incel ideology often overlaps with blackpill beliefs, emphasizing the importance of looks and expressing bitterness or resentment toward those perceived as more successful in dating.
Fatalism and nihilism: Blackpill rhetoric tends to promote a sense of fatalism and nihilism, suggesting that certain individuals are doomed to romantic failure due to factors beyond their control, such as genetics or societal biases. This worldview often leads to feelings of hopelessness and despair among its adherents.
Social hierarchies and “Chad” vs. “Stacy” stereotypes: Blackpill discussions frequently revolve around the concept of social hierarchies, with terms like “Chad” and “Stacy” used to describe individuals who are perceived as highly attractive and successful in dating. These stereotypes are often criticized for oversimplifying complex social dynamics and reinforcing negative attitudes.
Critique of mainstream dating advice: Blackpill adherents often reject mainstream dating advice, arguing that it is unrealistic or ineffective for those who do not conform to societal beauty standards. Instead, they may advocate for more radical or controversial approaches to dating and self-improvement.
It’s important to note that while some individuals may find solace or camaraderie in these communities, blackpill rhetoric has also been criticized for promoting toxic and harmful ideologies, such as misogyny, self-loathing, and a sense of entitlement. As with any ideology or belief system, it’s crucial to approach these discussions critically and consider the diverse range of perspectives and experiences that exist outside of blackpill rhetoric.
作为一个不太会dating的人，希望可以看到更多的人的分享，并从中学习一个，毕竟我还too young，甚至sometimes naive。
刚又看了一些求助帖、提问帖，感觉全世界人民都处在水深火热之中啊。
很多人自己太穷了，会被人嫌弃，有人觉得自己太矮了（或许其实顶多算“不高”），有人觉得自己长得不够好看。
Reddit这个生态位真的好像百度贴吧啊，好多人来自农村，没有很高的收入，生活在底层，生活中遇到的很多问题在吧里向8u们寻找答案。
比较好的一点是，我觉得他们的发言还蛮真诚的，无论是求助者还是回答者，没有像百度贴吧里那么多抽象话。毕竟是一个全球性的平台，大家都倾向于遵循最基本的普世价值来发言讨论，否则不同国家民族之间的人太容易产生误解和冲突。youtube评论区也是一样，发言都老和善了，一般第一热评都是感谢视频主的视频。
