I left the redpill mostly because it has too many incels now. But I never would have left otherwise. What do you guys think? Was the redpill ever good?

This is a place for people to help get out of the redpill mentality. If that is what you are looking for, then this is the place.

The redpill is not looked upon in a good light - check out the posts :)

You’ll see many, many arguments against it, all for good reason.

no. (disclaimer i have never been redpill) i think a lot of redpill theory is valid complaints about hyperindividualist society (as well as complaints about media that makes us think everyone should look like what we see in media, complaints about patriarchal thinking which is very harmful to men, and complaints about capitalism/the idea that your productivity and income is the highest and most valid form of worth) that is twisted and repackaged in a very anti-intellectual, ahistorical way. it’s made to look like critical thinking when it isn’t (or even if it is, it’s very low-level/effort critical thinking)

Maybe some small elements that didn't need the redpill mentality - or lack thereof - anyway.

It was a mechanism for men, whose trauma never left them but just displaced onto most women, to feel good about themselves without taking much stock of internal habits and doing healing work.

The redpill YouTubers and spokespeople were in it for the money. Men suffering will be taken advantage of by other men suffering, but willing to exploit.

The fact you left because it had too many incels as opposed to the bereft ideology - apart from a few basic elements - tells us more of you than anything.

Nope.

It was always full of incels writing fake “field reports”

I think some aspects of it are true, but those are the things that are backed by evidence and that people outside the red pill believe. For example, the concept of “bettering yourself” by going to the gym and increasing your net worth. Additionally, the concept that men get more attractive when they get older (generally, assuming they make more money and are more developed physically).

It taught me some truths that I still believe to this day but I’ve matured enough to see it’s flaws and to not fall into its sometimes harmful dogma

I felt this one

It starts off good, but I've learned it's more about making you hate whores than finding quality women.

No, it wasn't ever good. Even back when there was actually some good takes and good content, there was still a lot of bad ones. It was never good. When I was in the RP, I really had to tip toe.

I left because of the fucking grifters running dread game on me. "If you dont listen to me or agree with everything I say you'll be DOOMED to be a beta cuck raising some ALPHA Chad's kids while grinding at your soul crushing 9 to 5"
