Serious Why did it take so long for the blackpill to get popular

[MountainGorilla]

Looks matter, no shit but how did normies cope with it for so long, how did men not realize it earlier, did they just expect their personality and wallet could make up for their subhuman looks? Do men think these women actually love them and aren't just using them for resources?

Its hindsight bias, but how did men not realize sooner? Why was there even an intermediate redpill phase of the incelosphere?

 

[Grodd]

The were deep in denial and coped for too long.

People don't like ideologies that kill their hopes.

 

[WorthlessSlavicShit]

People always knew that looks mattered for women, but men loved to believe that women chose them for their personalities and provider abilities, and for a long time, there wasn't much disputing that. Research into the effects of looks on life is relatively recent and still rather niche, ugly people don't automatically form social groups together like, say, different races and ethnicities do, so there wasn't much of a chance for ugly guys in cities across the world just sitting down together and tlking about how similar their experiences are and finding the root cause of that, and so on.

Because of centuries of bluepill propaganda.

Social media probably made It even worse

 

[Lust]

because when foids were financially dependent on a husband, looks weren't needed and it always takes time for society to catch up to change

 

[Mr.Breb]

Bc the amount on incels is low, it must be something like a 10% of males, therefore:

Before, without internet there was no people to share it, chances are that you were one of the only ones in your town. Plus that we have low social status what makes us being, less brave, we risk more social exclusion, more humillation. Friends also were part of the problem, of you tell your sexhaver friends you're lonely they will gaslight you. In general high inhib and gaslighting. With internet it was just a matter of time that someone would say something

It always existed, it just has a name now

 

[The Scarlet Prince]

It's still not popular. Give it like 2 years or so and all the TikTard zoomers will stop LARPing and will probably be talking about how much they love women again.

The mainstream media acknowledges that over 60% of young men are virgins

Theres tons of american herbivore men, just quiet quitting

Yeah, but these guys will never get why they're virgins. They'll still cope and simp until the end of time, because they're genuinely worthless and retarded.

Deep down nobody wants to admit it, it takes years of rejection of failure before most people myself included can even entertain the possibility of the blackpill being true.
In the past there weren't as many incels because society was less hypergamous so there were less people talking about it.
The only incel communities that existed online in the past accepted females who would probably derail threads and make it impossible for actual incels to discuss things and come to the conclusions that are commonly accepted today, I think these are the main reasons.
