I was just curious since it doesn't seem to get talked about a lot here and is arguably one of the more damaging aspects of being Red Pilled. What's it's purpose? What is it designed to do? What is it actually? There seems to be a wide variety of answers online. How can I tell which is which?

Edit: I just realized from everyone's help that Red Pill might actually actively PREVENT a person from self-actualization because their safety needs and others aren't met and if they are, it's exploited afterward. Sounds like the opposite of a "High Value" partner and relationship. Yiiiiiikes. You guys taught me so much! Thank you!

Edit 2: Seems like the consensus is that the Red Piller tries to change the behaviour of their target by using dark psychological "strategies" that are taught by untrained/unlicensed people online and practiced by untrained/unlicensed people. It also seems as though there is very little to zero regard as to that person's current mental health, whether they can handle the "strategies" being used on them, how it affects that person's life outside of the relationship between them and the Red Piller. Wow. I wonder how much damage has been done by this...
