Early discussions appeared on websites such as incels.is , where several threads outlined the basic ideas of the whitepill . In these early posts, contributors argued that while the blackpill often led to despair and resignation, the whitepill offered a way to overcome life’s challenges by accepting them and using that acceptance as a basis for self-improvement.
One of the early voices in these discussions was a user known as SergeantIncel . His contributions helped shape the initial framework by detailing how accepting one’s circumstances could lead to a more pragmatic and hopeful approach to life. However, over time the focus shifted from individual authorship to a broader conversation about how anyone could take control of their destiny through self-discipline, personal responsibility, and realistic expectations. SergeantIncel first established the term’s formal definition and its relation to other “pills ” in three public threads (September 10, September 14, and December 10, 2017) which led to the creation of Whitepill.org—a blog that deeply explored the concept—and after its shutdown, to the emergence of its successor Elysian Fields under Tabula Rasa, Within the forum and PSL, the prominent figure SergeantAutist—often referred to as SergeantSchizo, SergeantAspie, and other epithets—contributed to refining SergeantIncel’s visualizations.
