Black.

Mystery_Tragic · 2019-12-25T16:53:51+00:00

Well every time I read a redpill post I keep on worrying that I might get put on some list.

But every time I read a bluepill post the smugness emanating from them is so thick I fear I could start growing a monocle.

The rest of the pills are irrelevant.

I think I'll stay on the fence.

King_Loser27 · 2019-12-25T20:33:26+00:00

If not red, then black. Blue pill is nonsense

Aaren_Augustine · 2019-12-25T18:26:09+00:00

If pressed id have to pick red. Its better to be overly cynical than overly naive- less disappointment that way. The tradeoff is missed opportunities at happiness and being a miserable bastard generally, but ill take that over just world foolishness any day.

I retain a bit of blue because it is too easy to become fully jaded and see women as these ruthless automatons, which they are not. Human beings are not all one thing. Ive read about remarkable women - one woman who was a nuclear engineer who became a self sufficient hermit, a woman who started an esports game company and spends her days helping young nerdy insular dudes achieve their dreams.

Its too easy to dismiss women who dont fit the RP narrative, and too easy for men to embrace this worldview where if you arent alpha youre shit and women cannot actually love/respect/desire you which isnt true. Women have a remarkable ability to love a man in spite of his shortcomings. You just have to penetrate the bitchshield first.

Idk if purple is blue 2.0 because i cant really speak to what everyone in that tent believes.

The most basic animal instinct is survival. The Red Pill is all about surviving in a hostile environment. So if push comes to shove the only choice is red.

jalapenopancakes · 2019-12-25T17:32:28+00:00

Red.

Too much nonexistent hope and “potential” for men in blue pill.

Aaren_Augustine · 2019-12-25T17:27:03+00:00

I think there's fear and "truth" in RP. There is optimism and hope in the BP and there is wisdom in Purple Pill. You get to keep your optimism and not be triggered by the fear of RP, which is a pretty good way to figure out what you need out of the world.

This is not like an agnostic who can't make up his mind aka Fence Sitter. And Purple will win out in the same way Jordan Peterson made millions and RP is still picked last for kick ball.

I’ve settled solidly in purple which to me is a perfect balance of understanding the harshest realities of the SMP while still understanding that an amount of vulnerability and compromise is required to have fulfilling relationships.

That said, As an average guy, I’d choose Red any day of the week.

I spent most of life blue and it was mostly misery, loneliness and confusion.

OTOH, if I was Chad, I’d gladly stay Blue because you’d get sexual success without becoming jaded.

The_Madmans_Reign · 2019-12-25T23:20:01+00:00

Everyone in this subreddit is blackpilled. I almost got banned for inc*l content for saying this, but legitimately, almost every single person accepts the blackpill, except the redpillers. There are no real bluepillers here.

jonathan88876 · 2019-12-26T04:19:22+00:00

Blue pill in the context of my region (Northeastern US), red pill literally anywhere else in the world

Maybelowsmv · 2019-12-25T16:49:28+00:00

red because if i was to have casual sex, id do it drunk and with hot men only. lol

dylang92 · 2019-12-25T18:51:42+00:00

I’m clear pill, everyone is right depending on the situation. Not one can be used universally

Galliend · 2019-12-25T17:44:32+00:00

I think I've noticed that purple flaired posters are more inclined towards a red pill position. I could be wrong though.

I think that the Red Pill is a more effective heuristic paradigm, but I don't identify or flair as a "Red Piller" because I can't stand identity driven ideologue tradcucks, and I'm just sick of the culture war MRA bullshit that goes on in the TRP sub, and now more and more in this sub.

If I had to pick a side - which I don’t want to do - it would be blue

The experiences I see described by RPers are foreign to me and the men I’ve spent my life involved with, everyone I know IRL is blue. Even guys who are naturally red

M4sterDis4ster · 2019-12-25T20:02:39+00:00

RED

What does the minority side do for you that makes you Purple instead of Red / Blue? For example, if you're majorly Blue I want to know about your Red part as well;

Because BP men are enablers who let women live consequence free life. I hold all people responsible for their life actions and consequences, including women.

Then again RP men claim that women are automated beings. There are great women I know personally and many other women who did great things for the world and society. Tipical woman you find in a bar or club everywhere in world, is not suitable for marrying top tier men, but that is probably not representative of all women.

Do you think that people would take your opinion less seriously if they see you're Red or Blue? I know there is stigma involved with both sides. I'm curious if that is the reason you're picking Purple;

Being BP is popular opinion, like being a Democrat in USA or left wing voter in EU. RP is being centrist or centrist right, or even Republican. "You are a fascist and nazi, bigoted and small minded."

Is Purple Pill just straight up Blue Pill 2.0? I feel like Purple is equal to Blue at this point because the flairs that had it had pretty BP opinions more often than not.

Purple Pill is somewhere in the middle of the two pills. I saw comments leaning to both sides.

cipherfiend · 2019-12-25T20:48:26+00:00

A blue pill will not give you the necessary framework to function when one is in a disadvantage i.e. it will not prepare you for the worst. But is just as important to affirm the function and purpose of the red pill.
I find this meta. If the pill has no merit, and does'nt affirm their experienced world view and or against what is opined then its more likely their position on the matter would be less serious.

On a different note, If people have less of an ego to think and parse ideas from an unattached perspective i'd like to posit there'd be no stigma, it would be much easier to discuss what is toxic from an idea and experience.

Naming things right is a real problem.
We dont lose anything or put into a disadvantageous position from positives, redpill

amwfhunter · 2019-12-25T21:11:29+00:00

I'm red for sure. It isnt even a question.

Tyler_Gatsby · 2019-12-25T23:31:19+00:00

Red

What does the minority side do for you that makes you Purple instead of Red

Probably that I look at women as types more than awalt, and my views that the N-count crowd are usually pussified hypocrites

Do you think that people would take your opinion less seriously if they see you're Red

Probably just get me in more arguments

Is Purple Pill just straight up Blue Pill 2.0?

No, just means more open-minded moderate fence sitters

goneaway2thewind · 2019-12-26T01:08:54+00:00

I consider myself red pilled with blue pill idealism. The more I speak with women and bare witness to their nature the less idealistic I become. I have to lose it someday so Red.

couldbemage · 2019-12-26T04:57:50+00:00

Would I rather be shot 8 times with a 45 or 15 times with a 9?

I feel pity for reds. As much as they're asshats, that comes from a place of pain. Blues are just plain mean. They have it all and get their kicks picking those that are less successful.

lilsaihah · 2019-12-26T05:03:34+00:00

Red/black, easy game.

Pastelitomaracucho · 2019-12-26T11:13:13+00:00

I would have to pick red. Been blue before and there is no way I'm teaming again with the simp losers

Orange_Paisley · 2019-12-26T15:51:06+00:00

Orange pill, obviously.

great_sco0tt · 2019-12-26T16:09:18+00:00

Neither pill. Firstly, blue pill isn't even a thing for anyone who isn't in red pill. It's a false dichotomy created by redpillers to enhance us vs them mentality. Nobody calls themselves blue pill unironically, or for any other reason than to demonstrate they don't agree with TRP. Blue pill doesn't have a philosophy and culture around it. It's a fake group for "everyone else" that redpillers made up to emphasize how different they are. I honestly prefer incels term "normie" because it's more accurate.

But yeah, the more I find about TRP the more bullshit I think it is, because of how religiously dogmatic they seem to be. They are right about some things, but in general, it's a very depressing and simplistic worldview that in most cases, contradicts my own experience.

sadomasochrist · 2019-12-26T16:43:47+00:00

Is Purple Pill just straight up Blue Pill 2.0?

Yes. Just like MRP, it's men who understand the red pill but want to still do blue pill things. That's the guys who really get it. But there's still plenty of guys that do the nAWALT thing, and they're even more blue pill.

i_have_a_semicolon · 2019-12-26T18:29:30+00:00

Blue I guess. Because I have a husband and we have an egalitarian relationship

Psych0_W0lf · 2019-12-26T20:34:02+00:00

El_Guapo2020 · 2019-12-27T17:19:29+00:00

Black Pill

FereallyRed · 2019-12-27T21:28:45+00:00

RP guys here are left of the bell curve because choosing to debate with the sheep is fundamentally a non redpill behavior.

acron5n5 · 2019-12-29T11:09:31+00:00

The black pill.

Ironically, if I had to choose between Blue, Purple and Red I'd go Blue.

wekacuck · 2019-12-25T23:17:18+00:00

If I had to choose between the two, I would be blue. There is nothing red pill advocates and that I agree with that blue pill forbids. The reverse is not true. I do not believe women are children or that women are incapable of love etc.

I identify as purple because what red pillers call "blue pill" is a whole bunch of stupidity that nobody beliwves is a good idea. People who identify as blue pill do not endorse that stupidity. I'm very much in the camp that believes red pill is opinionated common sense buried under misogyny.

But mostly bfd women like attractive men. Scary. So what? I like attractive women. Super scary.

Nodoxxintoxin · 2019-12-26T00:58:57+00:00

Blue. They just seem less angry.

Doctor_Between · 2019-12-25T19:10:50+00:00

I take the reality pill - the reality that reducing human interactions to 'market exchanges' will irreversibly destroy your ability to truly connect with others.

Dating in this capitalist society is a complete fucking joke.

Reisiluu · 2019-12-25T21:18:50+00:00

I'd pick blue because I'm in love, I know there are good men out there and I don't consider men my adversaries who just want to trick me and take from me. Red doesn't describe my own real life experiences, but it partially explains other people's behavior and the dating culture.

I know there is stigma involved with both sides. I'm curious if that is the reason you're picking Purple

Nope. Both sides are right about some things and wrong about others.
