Help me understand the red pill.

We're not here to inform you about what red pill is; there's plenty resources online, and if you really want to learn you'll put in the work.

This is /r/exredpill, where we help one another adopt more healthy ways of being.

You can't make sense of it. It's an inherently contradictory ideology.

How are you going to study it for purely academic reasons when you’ve already bought in to a caricature of what it is lol. I don’t browse redpill subs and haven’t for years but if you’re gonna academically write about something you have to actually engage with it

Red pill says that it’s not enough to be nice or do what Disney tells you in order to have relationship success. Like it or not, people (including myself) also care about things like appearance and how someone makes someone else feel (game). You can’t take what someone tells you at face value.

It’s not completely wrong. What it gets wrong is the misogyny.

The best way to understand red pill is to look at it as a support group / safe space for hurt men.

Their opinions are often shaped by the things that hurt them. And the things that comfort them.

It started off in the incel ideology and hit mainstream internet culture fairly recent. It’s filled with “tips” assuming the stereotypes perpetuated are consistent. It’s an essentialist and simplistic view on women.

Ig they think men can have complex thoughts and feelings and are individualistic but wahmin are all the same.

Yo check this video she did a really good job with research and great editing to make the video feel like a mockumentary. She goes into depth about the red pill community and the "pseudo intellectual" side of the community. I think you'll find some answers here https://youtu.be/BgO25FTwfRI

It’s not supposed to make sense. It’s a made up ideology to try and have a cookie cutter approach to how humans operate in our society.

Newbie1955 · 2022-07-12T14:40:58+00:00

I wrote a whole book on this and the fundamental ideology of red pill :) You can read the free excerpt I have on my website, and if you like the style, then the amazon links are at the end: https://cynthiapayne.webnode.page/red-pill-ideology/

Red pill is basically about developing Stockholm syndrome within your partner.

It only works on those that are vulnerable to begin with, and those are probably not the sort of women that you want to be with, most of them will have some sort of cluster b personality and/or mental disorder, some form of traumatic upbringing, and by traumatising them you’re able to make them relive that trauma they confuse fear/love with you.

I do think you can get away with a certain amount of shit (rp might recommend for example ghosting your girlfriend for 24 hours so that she worries about you, or leaving her on red so she double texts) but ultimately these do the relationship more harm that good when you keep breaking trust and communication.

The shitty attitude rpers receive from women is likely some form of resentment that the abused person develops over time.

Their definition of alpha is a chad..muscular jock that’s good looking. I say just be a man that has his shit together and women find attractive..how to do this? Take care of your nutrition eat healthy and workout you don’t have to look like the Rock but taking care of yourself is good. Be ambitious and try to improve yourself and try to have a decent job to support yourself. Work on your conversation/social skills so you are comfortable around people and can carry a conversation with a woman. Make sure you have a good sense of style and that you smell good. Develop a life with hobbies and friends that when you meet someone she will want to be part of your life because you have built a fun and interesting life. Also go on purplepilldebate sub they debate red pill philosophy every day there.

Difficult_Ferret2838 · 2022-07-11T19:55:14+00:00

so why they don't try to improve themselves?

Self improvement is central to a ton of red pill content.

"Alpha men" don't bitch about women all day.

Outrageous_House2317 · 2022-07-11T17:24:35+00:00

I have the perfect explanation ! So there’s a house that’s engulfed in flames.

The MGTOWs drive past the house laughing.

The Red Pillers stand outside the house saying “I told you so”. Some of them start recording the fire so they can post it on YouTube and make money.

The Blue Pillers run into the burning house trying to save people but get burnt.

The Purple Pillers stand outside the house talking shit but they try to put the fire out with a little water hose.

The Black Pillers bring flame throwers and jugs of kerosine. (They’re probably the ones that started the fire).

The Feminist are hiding on the other side of the road watching and doing nothing but when the fire’s finally put out, they come over and blame everyone for the fire. (Even the blue and purple Pillers that tried to help). They even called the news station and accused everyone of starting the fire. Now people think everyone there is an arsonist….

Honestly, I think you will need to spend time in the manosphere to get the understanding you want. Slide into my DMs.

MarkTheCarGuy · 2022-07-12T15:29:00+00:00

Your mistake is trying to “understand” RP as a philosophy. You can’t because it isn’t. Think of RP as a marketing strategy.

And the reason you can’t understand Alpha and Beta is because it doesn’t mean anything. It’s all environmental.

You can pair me off with any man on Earth and there’s some environment that I can place us in where I’d be the “Alpha” and some environment that guy could place us in where I’d be the “beta.” That’s why the entire concept is useless.
