No it didn't start with this sub, some MGTOWs like barbarosssa used the term, and it slowly became more popular in heartiste's comments. The concepts however came from that Pook fellow, who was a very obnoxious kind of man and thought Mystery style pick up, even though genius and effective, wasn't enough to build solid, healthy masculinity.

What that guy wrote gave birth to redpill philosophy, which is a combination of MGTOW, MRA, and PUA plus some EVO psych and a lot of good insights from men too intelligent for their own good.

I was late to this sub(a year ago), so I don't know who exactly started it, personally I think it's a clever scam by the fitness industry(kidding), anyways I'm happy it's here.

TRP did not start with this subreddit.

TRP is a lifestyle that evolved out of the PUA community of the early 90's. /u/Opiodus touched on this.

TRP is a culmination of in-field research by men and exchanging of ideas for over 10 years. The revelation of the internet has helped the manosphere grow in ways no one would have imagined in the early 90's/late 80's.

There has been many groups that have helped developed the things you read in the sidebar.

This is like asking who started a Laissez-Faire approach to life. RP is a contextual name given to something that has existed for thousands of years. This is significant because due to living quantized lives with a language revolving around a reductionist philosophy, we need notation for things. If we do not have a notation for something, we can not perceive it. The original term of "Red Pill" is from Total Recall (1990) but may have been symbolized earlier.
