Comment: Article passes WP:GNG, but there is not sufficient information here that can't be covered at the parent page. Also, the term 'Scientific Blackpill' does not appear to be commonly used as such, instead this ideology is referred to simply as "Blackpill". Devonian Wombat (talk) 15:59, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

The Blackpill is an ideology espoused by many Incels, focused on justifying misogyny and extreme pessimism by using scientific studies, as well as polls, and dating app usage data.^[1]This belief system emphasizes that inherent, immutable traits are the primary drivers of personal success or failure in areas such as education, career, and relationships. By framing these outcomes as largely predetermined by genetics, proponents of the Scientific Blackpill often reject the notion of personal agency and self-improvement, instead fostering a narrative of hopelessness and resignation.
