What is "concern trolling"?

It is when a new user comes along and says something along the lines of:

"Hey, I agree with your basic ideas, but I think you should hate women less"

It's basically agreeing with TRP points, then trying to steer everyone into thinking more PC

It's where you qualify yourself as sympathetic to a community or ideology, and then start undermining it under the guise of wanting to help it become more successful or widely accepted. It's happened a lot on /r/TheRedPill so the mods do whatever they can to nip that kind of thing in the bud.

It's when a new user comes along, and appears to agree with most of the ideas and opinions here, but then, adds some other opinions that are totally different.

E.g. "This sub is so great, I really love the tips here, they've helped me so much, but I don't think women are as 2-dimensional as you believe, I have met many 'unicorns' myself"

It's quite hard to judge, because if you're too harsh, you just have an echo chamber where all the opinions are the same, but if you're too lax, you get tons of troll threads and arguments, and it disrupts the sub.
