Q4BP: What do you find most frustrating about BP/TBP?

there's a lot less room for disagreement and differing opinions than there used to be, and i feel like it's recently become a little more mean-spirited than it was when i first stumbled upon the sub. i think some are a little too willing to believe obvious trolls, as well. i don't have any complaints about non-RP views on relationships, but the reasons above are why i don't really like or visit the sub as much anymore.

Just BP, since I don't read TBP.

BP frequently uses the just world fallacy as a form of argumentation.

Also, I wish they'd cut the incel/omega guys a little bit of slack. These guys are lonely, hurt, and feeling powerless. It must really suck to be rejected all the time and not have a single person of the opposite sex find you attractive. Sure they sometimes don't have the best attitudes, but we could also stand to be a little more forgiving considering their situation.

Any subreddit devoted to the antithesis of something gradually gets more and more negative until the only people left are the ones who absolutely hate what the subreddit is about.

Moderate atheism = living your life without religion. /r/atheism = "DAE Skyfundies ignorant religious piece of shitstains! Get 'in god we trust' off our money!"

Normal millennial view = "I don't want kids right now". /r/childfree = "Fucking crotch-fruit disgusting little parasites I hate families!"

Reasonable person = "Wow reddit sure upvotes a lot of racist/sexist stuff". SRS = "Reddit is literally stormfront and we're better than all these sperglords!"

TBP: Too much sarcastic use of red-pill terminology and general shitposting, so it is ultimately just as grating as reading TRP itself.

BP: Nothing. I guess "ignorance" really is bliss in this case. Although having to take responsibility for one's own relationship difficulties could be frustrating, I suppose.

Sometimes there is a lack of sympathy and reaching out to help people who I genuinely think are just feeling down in their life.

They don't read the sidebar. They just care about pointing out how some dude made a sexist or bad taste comment and it received 100 upvotes out of 130,000~ subscribers, so it must totally be endorsed by the whole community.

It is basically full of stereotypical highly strung tumblr weirdos

BP - some people who believe anything are assholes. I can't stand BP men and women who have a redpill plate spinning strategy, but who don't want to admit it. Their tortured rationalizations are why sex positive feminism has such a bad reputation.

TBP - I. The vague. I've linked the empathy vs. analytical thought article about a thousand times on Reddit, but it's infuriating watching my side reduce everything to "The Force." I imagine it's like Obi Wan Kenobi said to Han Solo "You can do space magic too, if you know everything I do." Then got offended when nobody got to see him do any space magic, because he's not a crude exhibitionist.

Not that I'm perfect either. I keep deleting any posts talking about what some people claim they find interesting in me, or really, really, fucking up communication when I try to force myself past my inhibitions (with help from people who want to read the worst possible interpretation), but I wouldn't have so many votes if I didn't balance out the snark with some actual science from time to time.

II. The shallow. Those who really want to turn the world into a hot or not competition under the banner of feminism should just admit they're purple pill, at best.

sub: too much hyperbole. I like joking around as much as the next guy but I think more nuanced take downs would be better

BP: I will concede to TRP that traditional dating advice is pretty limited for men. I think that as BP we sometimes put too much stock into the idea that things will just magically work out; I look at my own dating history and realize that things didnt just magically work out, but rather I had to change as a person first. I don't believe this means swallowing TRP but I do think that as BP we should be more honest about how daunting dating can be. I know I struggle at times.

TRP is too mean sometimes. Media does present some retarded as notions about relationships. Like, watch a rom com. They're stupid. It's two assholes who deserve each other.
