It's funny really, the Tiktok/Looksmax.org Blackpill appears to be more of a 'dark redpill' than the authentic scientific Blackpill you'd see over here (and on the forum across the street).
And I think part of the reason why this is is because if you understand the Blackpill, you'd realise that 'looksmaxxing' is futile for people like us, no matter how hard you try to looksmax, you'll inexorably hit a glass ceiling due to your genetics from which point you'll no longer be able to improve any further. For some, this glass ceiling is below the PSL threshold they need for ascension, therefore they're considered 'trucels'. And even people that do benefit from looksmaxxing are lucky if the even go up 1 point in the PSL scale. (I hate what the PSL scale has become, paying for face ratings is exploitation of mentally-ill people's self-hatred and stupidity).
But of course, the majority of Tiktok promoters of the Blackpill are these looksmaxxers who want to sell the idea that damn near anyone can surge by three, even four points on the PSL scale if they just follow the methods, use the products or get the surgeries that they promote on their £30-a-month course. And this belief is ironically a diluted yet integral Redpill tenet: 'Muh, anyone can achieve anything if they just work hard, if you're poor or ugly, you're a lazy fucking bastard who deserves it' These are Margaret Thatcher levels of delusion and in fact, actual libertarian talking points.
Now obviously they don't actually believe this themselves , they just know that promoting 'thumb-pulling' or 'mewing' as a quick, simple, catch-all solution to people's insecurities is amazing marketing, humans are psychologically primed to cling to belief i this sort of illogical bullshit simply just because it tells them that 'everything's going to be okay' even if logically it isn't (The brain has evolved to do that in order to stop people giving up on life), it's exactly the same Machiavellian manipulation technique and psychological phenomenon that lead to the birth of religion, people would rather accept blatant logical fallacies than face the darkness of their reality, some may call that 'taking the Bluepill'.
You could even argue that the only reason why some of us actually came to accept the true, logically accurate and science-backed form of the Blackpill was because it was the only 'pill' (or belief system) that told us that our failures weren't our fault and are the result of factor outside of our control. As well as the fact that we the lived experience of experiencing the implications of the Blackpill in our daily lives. This last point would definitely be an interesting avenue to explore further, I intend to make a more detailed, in depth thread about this at some point in the future.
These creators like Clavicular, SyrianPsycho, Dillon Latham, Faceiq etc. are genuinely predatory people that propagate this message because they know that sharing the true blackpill isn't conducive to profit and gaining influence. They've simply made a business decision and as a result they've inducted millions of would-be Redpillers into their own corruption of the Blackpill. Which to be frank is essentially just 'Redpill with Blackpill characteristics' or 'Redpill with a Blackpill facade'. It's shameful, really. But it's not surprising. One grift ends (The Classic Hamza-Tate-PUA Redpill), another, more shameless one takes it's place in order to absorb it's gullible and disaffected audience. This cycle will repeat until the end of time while we get scarred by the shrapnel form the war between the two parties we both hate.
Times change, but human nature never will and here we are witnessing the consequences.
Thank you all vey much for reading, I would absolutely love to hear your own opinions about this issue, dialogue and debate is a beautiful thing. Have a good one.
