The blackpill is just like any other ideology. Easily misrepresented & easily misunderstood. The word "blackpill" can easily change in meaning & connotation & for many reasons, but the underlying truths would just migrate to another word or phrase. It's logic based so it has merit. I'm not gonna claim to fully understand the specific foundation, origin, or purpose of the black pill, but from all of the older black pill advocates I've been exposed to, they defined it as as an umbrella term for a way to highlight important social patterns for social signaling. Looks being one of them. Then the others were money, status, etc. Overtime, the focus on looks took over because of the current state of the world. If this were the 1,900's, the focus would likely be more on status or money. The internet has increased the value of good looks.
I believe it's an undeniable fact that looks matter a lot. I wouldn't be on this site if they didn't. They largely determine how we're treated, who we can mate with, how much lust someone has for us, who feels comfortable around us & to what extent, etc. And of course, they're not the only important factor about rising through the social ranks. They're just arguably among the most important. It's easy to see, I don't know why so many would deny it. We're a complex species so we can value other traits we see as positive or prosperous, but looks are still among the largest determiner of our capacity to love due to the very specific complex structures that something of beauty would have to consistently adhere to or align with. If asked which one is easier to love, the sight of stool or sight of ice cream, all would probably choose the ice cream. I don't see many people loving the sight of stool even if it has no smell &/or would be safe to be around. Many would prefer the sight of ice cream because it's instinctual to do so & because of the deeper implications of possibly loving the sight of stool. Assessments like these never just stop at the surface even if our conscious capacity of them does.
There are many good examples of the black pill but film acting can be a good example of the black pill or alike. Movies have to market to wide audiences, so if there's for instance a role where romance is the theme, they don't usually like casting ugly people because the average person would rather see an attractive person. Generally, people wouldn't be able to relate to an unattractive actor as well because their minds would resist relating to them. No bitter emotional state required to see the logic behind this. If you know human nature, then this is just a natural byproduct of it. Beauty & good looks are objective for the same reason that death or disease is objective. If an older or deformed person wants to look more attractive, they just have to increase their youth or health cues, & voilà , they're a bit higher on the general looks scale. This stuff was rooted in logic before we ever were. It is part of our foundation. The largest discernible goal of life is to propagate in a way that will provide the best chance of long-term health & survival, not to give leniency to something that is sending signals of poor reproductive quality or viability. That doesn't promote long-term health of the life form. Survival is why this harsh selective system even exists in the first place.
