Why is it "whitepill"?

[SidharthTheSlayer]

Blackpill makes no prescriptive judgments on what you ought to do with its findings - it's wholly descriptive and not ideological - it doesn't endorse a fatalistic philosophy at all.

Why is the whitepill then considered the inverse of the blackpill, or a "pill" at all? It's a misnomer, as it doesn't actually provide you with any new knowledge - the blackpill was created to be beyond "redpill" after grifters hijacked the term. So naturally, whitepill ought to be the same way. But it isn't.

It’s not an inverse, it was defined as Sergeant as an extension of the Blackpill.

It’s true that Blackpill doesn’t prescribe behaviour on what to do with it’s findings, while the Whitepill does.

I see, I loved your post about the first part. But that also ties into what I'm trying to say basically, it's a misleading title. What is the etymology and history of whitepill as a term?

Originated from incels.is with a series of threads by SergeantIncel on the topic. You can find it on the Whitepill Essential Reading subforum.

I see the whitepill as trying to do the best with what you’ve got. it’s the acceptance phase.

Tbf whitepill is usually described as "overcoming" the blackpill in common parlance

Sergeant could have been the first to define but its like how iranians and ancient indians called themselves aryans although almost no one uses that endonym to describe those two races anymore
