Specifically peer-reviewed research that are hard for people to argue against. It doesn't have to be just one thing but I really want them to be the most compelling out of anything else you've ever seen or known about. I think it would be interesting to have a compilation of the hardest to argue black pills that have been gathered.
For myself, I think this study is hard to argue against in good faith no matter how blue pilled someone is. It's not related to dating or even attraction really but shows that people's facial features strongly affected how people judged them when making decisions about whether or not they were guilty. Now, this kind of study has been done many times before but what's interesting about this one, in particular, is that team conducting the study also tried to educate a non-control group about the dangers of judging people by their face, how often we do it, and how to try and avoid it. This had no effect on the impact a person's face made on people's verdict.
The study takes it even one step further by asking all it's subjects to rate how confident people were in their verdicts. Even after learning about the phenomena of people judging each other unfairly by their face and being encouraged to avoid that effect, people who judgment was heavily biased by trustworthy looking a person was were no less confident in their ability to suss out other people's guilt/innocence. For me, this is evidence that even if people were to become more aware of the biases when it comes to physical appearance, most of us just won't be able to overcome it. That and the fact that people generally don't think they're guilty of judging people by their appearance. This kind of explains why a lot of people seem to be in denial of looks mattering that much. They genuinely lack awareness just how much they're willing to suspect less attractive people of wrongdoing or be swayed by good looks. There isn't much to be hopeful about after reading studies like these = (
