Dad Mode: This One Definitely Needs a Discussion
This is the dark end of the pipeline. If your kid is using this word seriously, they may be consuming content that tells them their life is predetermined and hopeless. That's not teen angst, that's a worldview designed to breed resentment. This one deserves a real check-in, maybe with a counselor involved.
Came from: Incel forums (incels.co, r/braincels), derived from 'red pill' (The Matrix / manosphere)
Examples
“It's over bro I took the blackpill”
“I've accepted that nothing will ever get better for me”
