what is red pill to you?

An incorrect model of interpersonal psychology, that causes harm to those who use it, and those who get used by it.

A scam to convince misogynistic young men that they can be sexually successful while continuing to hate women.

Turned yourself into someone you aren't... to attract people who would not be attracted to the real you...

A way to manipulate people.

Sweet-Euphoria-42 · 2023-08-14T10:31:16+00:00

A narrowly understood set of human behaviors that follow post hoc ergo propter hoc black and white thinking to generalize and make people think that X behavior = Y reasoning to specifically place blame on women for everything she does.

When alternatives and variables are discussed, it's automatically "Blue Pill" feminist garbage rather than one of many possible reasons why a particular person behaves in a certain way.

If the very same mentality it's thrown back, such as "therefore that means all men are rapists", you're called a radicalized misandrist.

Basically lack of self-awareness wrapped up into an ideology where men think they're enlightened, but aren't because of weaponized biases.

It's a scam that imitates enlightenment, but stops halfway through to justify ego. But again, it's not REALLY "Red Pill", it's just called "Red Pill".

A modern repackaging of tired misogynistic tropes.

It's something that helped me recover from my addictions as well as a years-long depression. I don't know how Fresh & Fit, Andrew Tate, and David Goggins fell into it. Neither do I know what it now has to do with misogyny. It's just a metaphor for acknowledging the ugly truths about yourself and refusing to go back to how you were, for me at least. It isn't self-improvement, but self-acceptance. It's letting go of avoidance of your problems or the self-hatred that came from it. It's clearing your mind of whatever illusions you have brought yourself to believe regarding the condition you are in that you are not satisfied with. It's the level of responsibility that I failed to reach until my late teen years. I don't support what is called the "Redpill Movement," but I don't support their "Blackpilled" enemies and detractors either. It's foolish to equate your worth as a person to your performance on the dating market. But as far as I know, it's pulled many teenagers such as myself from suicide. I have taken what good the movement itself has, and I know that the principles that come with fixing your life and choosing to be a better person have nothing to do with the Redpill movement itself, as it's apparent that it was hijacked by many charismatic opportunists and their cheap piggyback riders a long time ago.

The main question I have with this subreddit is what they are even built on. The "damage from redpill" they speak of is almost purely of what they notice from its influence on the internet. So it's almost like a rinse-and-repeat of chronically online group of people sees another chronically online group of people they don't agree with. There are millions of teenagers getting off their asses and going to the gym because of the cringy redpill "Destroy yourself" videos on tiktok and youtube. It's singlehandedly done more against the obesity epidemic than any single policy enacted by the US government. It's almost like another reactionary group aligning itself against whatever new idea pops up, only this time it claims to be pro-feminist though once again I fail to see how the idea of redpill itself necessitates misogyny. I find redpill itself stupid anyways, but I acknowledge the appeal it has for many teenagers to be something to cling on when the rest of the internet is filled with bullshit. I'm willing to talk more about it on this subreddit though, but I won't make a post on this dead obvious echo chamber of bitter young adults who never caught up with the rest of their peers. But TBF, what subreddit isn't?

The red pill is a an analogy about the realities men face in the journey of dating. While we've seen the negatives of over consumption of red pill content/ideas there are some redeeming points . The red pill may have its issues but, it does teach men to value themselves, protect their hearts, encourages to better themselves, have or seek purpose, and to also have standards for yourself.

I from what I've seen from this subreddit, there's alot of focus on the misogyny and negatives from men who have consumed/identified with RP content. I understand and agree that the community and some of the creators can be toxic but there's reasons behind the behaviors.

I will make a post about my thoughts in the near future.

A group of people who fit with a learning style that is easy to teach via educational entertainment theory, and rely on heuristics (mental short cuts) to make decisions. Such behavior leads listening to opinion leaders, and reading emotional charge message boards and literature that reenforces their belief system. They are easily victim to cherry picked statistics and fallacies on research they’ve never read. It’s common in mass media but this mass media is specifically tailored to the audience of underserved men.

Relative truths mixed with personas and certain forms of toxicity.
