Everything here was supposed to disappear. Banned subreddits, deleted communities, cancelled blogs — much of what is archived here survives nowhere else.

It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.

I pay for the servers, the storage and the bandwidth myself. If you want this record still standing in ten years, become one of the people who keeps it online.

I understand your sentiment. It could have been written by myself. The anger, the complete lack of understanding AWALT, little critical thinking, conspiracy theories, cult like behavior and on it goes.

Still, I chose to stay. In fact I have become more active now than I have ever been. These people need to be shown the true way, the right way. In a sense, if you indeed are one of the more critical minds around here, we need you now more than ever. Consider it.

There is an abundance of anger on this subreddit which I myself can empathize with.

That's actually a good thing. It most likely means you weren't a complete beta before seeing TRP. Most of the guys are stuck in the anger phase because they're too beta to practice what they've learned here. Be better than that. Go out, and practice. Then come back, and "be the change you want to see".

[–]JumpXVI2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

You never had any "participation in this community", though. Instead of attempting to leave TRP, a place that had such a positive impact on your life, better than you found it, or leaving quietly, you opt to lecture us on your way out the door we never heard you come through in the first place. Congrats.

I am about to ban him for concern trolling.

One thing we don't need here is complainers who don't pull their own weight.

Different people are at different stages of TRP. That is something you have to accept, each of us must go through it. So yeah, sure, many posts on here are in the Anger phase, but we were all once there. For those of us who are past that, it is up to us to help our fellow brethren to move beyond it. Not to simply walk away.

I'll steal from /u/Whisper 's post on the 5 stages of TRP, since I can't link:

Denial: "Women aren't like that! They're people just like everyone else! Treat them all as individuals, and you're sure to find the right one!"

Anger: "WTF! Bitches are all like this! They have no honour, no loyalty, and they don't really love anyone but themselves! Fucking cunts!"

Bargaining: "If I work real hard and learn all the pickup moves, then at least I'll get laid."

Depression: "Getting laid by shallow, obnoxious women has become dull and unrewarding. And there's no sense looking for a unicorn. Maybe I'll just be MGTOW for a while."

Acceptance: "Women aren't bad. My expectations of them, and theirs of me, were based on faulty premises. They are creatures of instinct, just like I am... but of different instincts. If I learn what those instincts are, and teach them about mine, we can develop realistic expectations of each other and get along just fine."

If we really want to understand what gets written here, in its proper context, we need to understand that most "Red Pill Theory" posts will belong to one of these five stages. Each stage has value, because to reach a later one, you must go through the earlier ones. And, as in grieving, the progress through is seldom linear, smooth, uniform, and one-directional.

Removed, and user banned for concern trolling.

One thing we don't need around here is complainers who don't pull their own weight. Complaining about noise is just more noise. If you don't like what you see, post what you want to see.

[–]Code_Bordeauxx0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Mhm, you certainly have a point, but I hope you do realise he's shedding light on a legitimate issue we're facing.

[–]Do not send modmail to my personal inboxCrazyHorseInvincible0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

He's shedding a lot more heat than light.

The most constructive thing anyone can do to help us keep the signal to noise ratio high is:

  • Use the report button.
  • Write a verbose comment when using the report button.

That's what actually improves TRP. Rants about "decline" are just a bid for attention.

If you see potential and have been helped in the past then you could influence the future of this subreddit. As the Buddha says "Holding onto anger is like holding onto a hot coal to throw at someone" (paraphrased). Resentment is not healthy, so I can offer my view on experiences since I used to hold onto so much anger

[–]pagan22870 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I am fairly new to the red pill. I see what you are saying in regards to some of the postings. I feel the same way sometimes, but I choose to stay. I can sort through the rantings of bitter betas venting to the community about how AWALT, and dig deeper for the golden nuggets of red pill truth. You don't have to accept every post as the gospel truth my man. Good luck to you.

[–]Master11760 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

We're going to miss you, but it's probably for the best - we wouldn't want you to get your feelings hurt, or have to look at unpleasant things with your sensitive eyes!
