Redpillers are extremely childish

I don't think the reality of the situation is that most of the world is cruel and that things are awful, I think it's moreso that people tend to focus on the most negative circumstances or symptoms that people find themselves in and fail to see the forest for the trees. Redpill/Blackpill ideology for example solely focuses on those negative aspects and will put horrible things they see on a pedestal as if it's indicative of what the wider public believes as a whole, even when it's very easy to demonstrably prove that it isn't the case.

For example, as a simple thought experiment, you could see someone say something unbelievably stupid on the Internet, and you can choose to either assertively assume that their one single comment is indicative of the world's population as a whole, or you can have a more reasonable perspective and understand that you're just one of millions of other people who have seen that ridiculous comment. You aren't caring about the replies to that comment pointing out how horribly shallow and awful what they said is, you aren't caring about how there's millions of other people who saw that comment silently and didn't engage and likely don't agree with it, you don't care about how the comment is clearly controversial because of all the replies and it being ratio'd and all that; instead, people who are more assertively driven to negativity tend to focus on the fact that those terrible things happened at all, and your brain then blows it's significance way out of proportion as a result.

This is a problem that doesn't apply to JUST Blackpill or Redpill, but to a lot of different groups on the Internet. Redpill, Blackpill, Shortcel, etc. communities absolutely LOVE simply showing horrible things happening that validate their views and then deliberately circlejerking around it, giving off this strange misconception that these problems are a universal rule that applies to the majority of humanity. Political ideologies do it, too, and it's always important to have that self reflection and understand that, just because you're only seeing the bad stuff, doesn't mean the bad stuff is the only things that's are ever happening.

Exactly this, they're mad they weren't born rich and insanely attractive. That is most people's circumstances. Most people can deal with it. It's bizarre to me, I think most people knew as children being rich and/or attractive means life will be easier, it feels like they've only just discovered this.

They also think the dating market is so easy for women, imo it isn't but for different reasons. Women have to wade through a load of guys only looking for sex, and often men won't be open about this as they know a lot of women would turn them down based on that. So we waste time going on dates with these guys until we see through the lies. They view women as disposable but think we have it easy.

I'm not a psych by any means, but I bet age regression is a factor. A lot of what I've seen of them also stems from, not just being unable to communicate their feelings, but largely unwilling to. Like they've had a negative worldview fed to them, and they want to keep confirming it. It's self-perpetuating AND self-defeating.

A big part of it is that these guys want to feel like they belong to a group, which is why they make this stuff their whole identity and try to bond online with people that do the same.

Many if not most of them have some form of Nice Guy Syndrome. They think that women only choose the “tall, handsome bad boy,” because they think they are a nice person and women don’t pick them. In reality, they aren’t really as nice as they claim they are, and women can sense that from a mile away.

I don’t think the concept has to be “the world is cruel, suck it up” in order to establish a firm concept of reality. The problem is the generalizing beyond all evidence of each single woman being different. Many people are cruel and we can’t absolutely force them to change, but some redpillers and especially blackpillers already grasp that. That’s the central problem for them.

People in the redpill movement aren’t dumb children who grew up inherently deficient. They’re hurt people looking for reasons that the world behaves as cruelly as it does. The lesson is that the WHOLE world is not that extreme and is too complicated to create these kinds of rules around, not that the world is 99% cruel or not cruel.

This has always been true. It's just they catered to an audience that lacks life experience, so it takes a lot longer for them to realized that these are man children.

My ex was like this; he was privileged because he was white but SUPER butthurt anytime you remotely made a joke about white people.

The perception of everyone being cruel is probably more of a result of rage bait and social media algorithms. The internet seems to be a totally different environment than real life where people at least pretend to be nice to each other.

I don’t think women have standards that are super high as much as red pillers having standards that are pretty low. They complain about women’s body count and put them on a scale between 1 and 10. Do you think a women or any other person wants to put up with that shit? It’s no wonder they’re having a hard time dating because they’re so repulsive to be around.

They have issues with perspective and choosing their battles

A lot of people are extremely childish.

If you discuss evolutionary psychology as it relates to mating, information that was written by world leading academics in the field, ex-redpillers will get upset, engage in logical fallacies, and put their fingers in their ears and say 'lalalalalala' while they downvote you

Childish is not something that only people you oppose do. Its widespread.
