2	The negligible amount of Blue Pill participation on this sub makes it laughable to call this place purple, or a platform for debate I used to come round these parts pretty regularly. I got bored of it. I found that most disagreements did not originate from data or results, but rather from how people fundamentally view each other and deserve to be treated. As such, arguments would be circular and fruitless. So now I just giggle from the sidelines :)	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/03/16 11:52 PM
6	If TRP is banned, what other subreddits do you think should also be banned? I think the only subreddits that even potentially deserve a ban are ones that consistently pursue people in real life, essentially doxxing, Facebook harassment etc. I don't believe TRP or any of the other subreddits that are hateful but not immediately dangerous should be banned.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/07/15 07:46 PM
8	RP, how do you feel about knowing that reddit may shut you down? I hate how much I agree with you on pretty much everything except gender roles. This is the sort of life outlook more people really fucking need.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/07/15 07:27 PM
3	Has TBP actually read the ENTIRE sidebar on TRP? You have issues with women's self-ownership. Really showing your true colors here.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/07/15 01:25 AM
3	Has TBP actually read the ENTIRE sidebar on TRP? But once again, you're missing the point entirely. We don't argue with the idea that lifting and working on social skills are productive endeavors. We argue with all the other crazy trash thrown on top for no reason other than that the majority of TRP users are genuinely hateful towards women as a group, with rare or no exception. AWALT in the worst possible way. Participating in and condoning this behavior, even passively, is cause for concern. This is the worry of myself and many bloopers, not…	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/07/15 01:07 AM
0	Has TBP actually read the ENTIRE sidebar on TRP? If you wanna make an omelet, you have to crack some eggs. I'm not saying it's ideal, but I firmly believe it's better than the alternative. Let's use terp language and talk outcomes. If you believe there's a better way to critique "my sister is a whore I can't even look at her" then let me know and I'll be happy to take it into consideration. Until then, fuck that pathetic little piece of shit for viewing his sister that way for no reason other than that she's had sex more than him. I hope he re…	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/07/15 11:47 PM
7	Has TBP actually read the ENTIRE sidebar on TRP? First I wanna quickly address the ineffectiveness of TBP. One thing that TRPers seem to miss is that being a guy who is nice is very different from being the sort of guy who ends up on /r/niceguys. This is a distinction of subtlety that cannot be overestimated. I've never been rejected because I was kind. But treating women like untouchable goddesses is not being nice, it's being a puppy. I think the distinction in this area is best explained by saying that you should treat women essentially lik…	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/07/15 11:40 PM
0	Has TBP actually read the ENTIRE sidebar on TRP? The blue pill uses mocking, deriding, denigrating, and public ridicule to expose how cruel and obscene TRP methods can be, much the same way you might mock a young earther to show other young earthers that their theory of the world isn't even taken seriously by informed poeple.	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/07/15 11:27 PM
4	Has TBP actually read the ENTIRE sidebar on TRP? Here's the difference. While many individual bloopers might be terrible people, the sub itself is about empowerment, equality, and not abusing people. Trp on the other hand, might have a lot of really kind individual users. But the sub itself is frequently about manipulating and abusing people for personal gain. Calling this amoral doesn't mean it's not also immoral. We also run into another huge problem. Being a guy who is nice is VERY DIFFERENT from being a Nice GuyTM . Most of the self profes…	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/07/15 10:55 PM
3	Has TBP actually read the ENTIRE sidebar on TRP? I agree with you so hard. I almost wish I could find a bunch of newbie terps and try to school them in the ways without letting them devolve into abusive psychopaths.	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/07/15 10:48 PM
10	Has TBP actually read the ENTIRE sidebar on TRP? I have read it, and I found that a lot of the things TRP espouses were things that I had been doing naturally to great success since I was about 20. I found a lot of it to be potentially very useful to confused young men. A lot of it seemed too inflammatory to be useful advice, more finger pointing. Strongly in need of refinement. A lot of it relied on broad generalizations and didn't allow for enough nuance to be truly successful in the real world. All in all, it seemed like an imperfect but so…	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/07/15 08:39 PM
2	Question for BP: Do you believe the TRP men who post here? Field reports generally seem to be heavily embellished at best, sometimes entirely fictional. In terms of the issues and experiences people talk about in their lives... I believe that they believe they are telling the truth, I just think they are typically missing some crucial details or potentially have very ill conceived ideas about human relationships and have a hard time dealing with the reality of their situation.	/r/PurplePillDebate	13/07/15 05:15 PM
2	Not lifting. You're just being belligerent at this point :p	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/07/15 07:35 PM
6	Not lifting. I'm on mobile so quoting is a pain in the ass, but you've literally said right above that r/fitness is part of the unsustainable health model etc etc., it's clear you're arguing against lifting to some extent. Lifting is one of the most sustainable exercises there is; an hour 3 days a week is enough to reap huge benefits for both health and body composition. That's undeniable and I think the goal of exercise so... Lifting is empirically great lol. This is the first time I've seen you mention GLO…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/07/15 05:29 PM
7	Not lifting. Yeah I definitely agree with you there. But that's an argument against GLO the Shrunken Sack, not lifting. Phrase your arguments against the people rather than the activity and you'll be much more easily understood. Everybody thinks you're saying lifting isn't effective exercise I think, that was my interpretation as well and I'm a blooper.	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/07/15 05:12 PM
8	Not lifting. See, I'm having a hard time understanding what you're actually arguing against. Nobody is claiming that a constant bulk is good. Nobody is saying you should strive to be a bodybuilder. Nobody is saying you should never do cardio. Agree or disagree: the average person would see significant life long benefits from a dedicated strength training routine. When combined with regular cardio and decent diet, a rigorous full body workout three times a week will have many beneficial effects on body compos…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/07/15 05:00 PM
11	Not lifting. Fair, but the links you've posted are mainly about burning calories... A vastly overrated aspect of exercise imho. Controlling weight has everything to do with what you eat, and unless you're running for hours a day, most people can out-eat their exercise easily. Exercise should be more about quality of life, and lifting improves your body and prevents diseases better than just about anything. I think the problem people have is that they lift to get bigger rather than as part of a lifestyle impr…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/07/15 04:41 PM
6	Not lifting. Fitness in general and lifting in particular are certainly not discouraged by many of the bloopers I've met. Here's one topic a while back where you can see this. I've seen quite a few. https://www.reddit.com/r/TheBluePill/comments/361630?sort=confidence	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/07/15 03:44 PM
2	Why are you against the MRAs ? I'm generally unhappy with MRMers despite being in favor of their cause, in principle. This is for essentially the same reasons I'm in favor of feminism but usually find outspoken feminists to be annoying; neither are actually interested in accomplishing things, they just want to whine and complain.	/r/PurplePillDebate	06/07/15 11:07 PM
4	What if there really was a purple pill? I think the issue here is that Blue Pill isn't really a philosophy. There's no coherent narrative agreed on by the bloopers. Blue Pill stands as an oppositional sub to the Red Pill; the only thing bloopers can automatically be assumed to agree on is that the Red Pill is fundamentally flawed to one extent or another. We (collectively) don't advance an argument that the best way to get laid is doing x y or z. Nor do we advance an argument that women and men should be treated in a specific way (whi…	/r/PurplePillDebate	03/07/15 12:36 AM
1	Prove/disprove the gender pay gap? I think you misunderstand. Partially my fault, I was trying to be terse as well as thorough. My claim isn't that the pay gap itself is evidence of sexist practices. My claim is that sexism is still a problem despite the lack of explicit sexism in the pay scale. The pay gap is explained by behavioral differences between the sexes, but the behavioral differences are at least partially a result of informal discriminatory practices in the workplace, school, and home. For example: http://ftp.iza.org/…	/r/PurplePillDebate	03/07/15 12:12 AM
1	Prove/disprove the gender pay gap? Fair enough, I edited. Sometimes I get intentionally inflammatory...	/r/PurplePillDebate	02/07/15 05:01 AM
4	Prove/disprove the gender pay gap? A super in depth analysis a few years back found that, when controlling for relevant variables like work experience, full or part time, etc. the pay gap still existed but was roughly 95 cents on the dollar compared to the often claimed 77. Meaning that among male and female employees with the same work experience, the same position, the same cost of living, the same everything, there was still 5 cents unaccounted for. Significantly better than the silly 70 cent number often claimed but still not…	/r/PurplePillDebate	02/07/15 01:46 AM
16	Revenge Porn and why TRP is so unappealing to most people Considering that the Catholic Church protected these priests and their actions, I think so. Oddly, that's still a pretty good comparison to TRP.	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/06/15 06:38 PM
1	CMV: There is no 'equal' relationship dynamic So your arguments as of now: Initial contention is that unless you have significantly higher SMV than your spouse, she won't have sex with you. Follow up contention is that you accept or ignore that my relationships are more successful than yours but you have no interest in this phony respect thing I talk about. Perhaps if I labeled it something manly like a field report it wouldn't be so difficult to stomach. And you apparently think sitcoms are a viable representation of human interaction. Thi…	/r/PurplePillDebate	22/06/15 10:20 PM
1	CMV: There is no 'equal' relationship dynamic That wasn't fun for you? Little too close to home? Cuz I enjoyed it. I find that ad hominems are a good way to deal with strawmen. But only most of my post was ad hominem, deal with the second paragraph instead of whining and we'll talk. Just because you haven't been in a relationship where every single move wasn't about your gf trying to avoid having sex with you doesn't mean they don't exist. Sorry to break your anecdotal assumptions. Not very STEM of you.	/r/PurplePillDebate	22/06/15 09:02 PM
0	CMV: There is no 'equal' relationship dynamic You know, sometimes I try to argue with reason and logic. Sometimes that's not the right approach. You acting like you know our personal lives is laughable, and you're projecting pretty hard when you claim that equal means female dominant. Sounds like you just can't keep up in a real partnership, so you intentionally date down in order to assure your "power". That's not alpha, that's pathetic. I've never heard "no sex until" in my life, not sure what that has to do with blue pill. I get sex when…	/r/PurplePillDebate	22/06/15 07:43 PM
6	Why does science and reason go out the window when talking about humans? Actually, I would really enjoy seeing YOU define the T in AWALT. It's your people's phrase after all. If you can't define it then what's the point of saying it, except to demean women? If you can define it then aren't you a biological determinist?	/r/PurplePillDebate	18/06/15 01:57 AM
3	Why does science and reason go out the window when talking about humans? I see what you're saying, but you're incorrect. First off, when you say that science you agree with is right and science you disagree with is wrong and then go on to outright dismiss confirmation bias... are you aware that just because you acknowledge confirmation bias and dismiss it doesn't mean it isn't happening to you? You realize that you are exhibiting this behavior perfectly right as you type? You literally said that you ignore any science that doesn't reaffirm your belief and you always …	/r/PurplePillDebate	18/06/15 01:53 AM
3	Why does science and reason go out the window when talking about humans? I think its perfectly reasonable to start with the assumption that humans are roughly equal. If that contention is so hard for you to get on board with then I think we've found a great place to end this conversation. Having said that, you realize that affirmative action, especially in med school, actually hurts asian women far more than white men because they tend to do so much better in their undergrad studies? They are also more likely to successfully complete graduate programs than men. This …	/r/PurplePillDebate	18/06/15 01:35 AM
11	Why does science and reason go out the window when talking about humans? If you're interested in science you'd know full well that early studies dealing with humans, especially human psychology or sociology rather than physiology, are often misleading at best. They are typically seen as being important for shaping future studies but not considered to be decisive by any means. Thus, any new study or idea about human behavior should be met with healthy skepticism until further validated. This IS the scientific method, not a deviation from it. It's unfortunate that so m…	/r/PurplePillDebate	17/06/15 01:29 AM
11	How can thebluepill get away with calling itself a satire sub with humor? I've always thought the satire was the /r/TheRedPill sub and the blue pill was just a "best of" compilation?	/r/PurplePillDebate	13/06/15 02:14 AM
13	BP: What is your definition of a real man? I've always found the language of "real man/woman" to be fairly unhelpful. Vague enough that anyone can use it to make a poorly defined but catchy point on Facebook but not useful in any meaningful way. It should be replaced with adult, which can even have the same gravitas in conversation, if you want to be taken seriously. An ADULT is capable of taking care of themselves independently, regardless of what relationship status they enjoy. An ADULT is proud of and responsible for their body, regar…	/r/PurplePillDebate	02/06/15 08:04 AM
2	The line between overcoming LMR and date rape ? Context would play a huge factor. If your SO of years is hesitant to have sex, it's frequently because something about the situation isn't right, and changing the circumstances will change the outcome. However, repeatedly pushing a woman to have sex on the first date if she clearly doesn't want it is a very different thing. It would be very easy for a woman in this situation to give in out of fear rather than because she actually changed her mind. In this case it should be understood that resist…	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/05/15 10:01 PM
1	Blue Pill, why do you think it's acceptable for men to have all the responsibility to initiate and maintain a relationship AND for women to have much higher standards than men? This is a strawman. That is not a contention any BPer I know believes in. /thread	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/05/15 08:57 PM
2	What types of people does bluepill and redpill consist of? It's most unfortunate that one of the only cures for poverty and superstition, indeed the most effective cure as far as I can tell, actually IS feminism - giving women the right to choose how and when they reproduce with access to abortions and condoms. The livestock model of female sexuality is easily one of the largest driving forces behind all of the other woes those unfortunate people face. But like you say, it's hard to get people to care about what seems like a trivial issue when the task …	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/04/15 07:46 PM
2	What types of people does bluepill and redpill consist of? 24 male bper Double majored economics and statistics BA, currently taking time off, working, and traveling before I start on a masters. I believe that political systems should be a fine balance between function and compassion, which leads me to being very progressive but not associating with any single party. If I had to choose a title it would be anti-republican. I agree with more feminist contentions than I disagree with, I think it's femininity more than femaleness that gets shunned, I think …	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/04/15 07:34 PM
