How come TBP criticizes TRP for the more radical posts, but whenever TRP criticizes feminism, you say we're only focusing on the radicals?

As far as I know, TRPs don't disown their radicals. As feminists, we aren't represented by them and we don't make them our "endorsed contributors" .

I think because feminism is a lot more then what someone from TRP thinks it is. For example, a podcast I've talked about on here a lot, Stuff Mom Never Told You, the hosts of that show were criticized by a feminist in an article about them posing for this underwear company. One problem that some feminists have is, nobody is perfect, and there are so many different strains of feminism that people can be called a bad feminist all the time by other feminists.

As said below, /r/feminism is incredibly uncontroversial, and at worst, it's boring. For example, it was said that James Deen was a feminist (which was likely false even without the whole rape accusation thing) and someone posted that you can't be a feminist and in the porn industry, and that got down voted pretty heavily. Generally, wacky extremist feminists there get down voted and as said, the sub is mostly stories and don't get too many comments. And like, apparently the views of a 22 year old mean something huge.

I think the fact that as said below, some highly upvoted comments are pretty fucked up. I guess the difference is, feminism is a huge concept where as The Red Pill is a hate group, with women being their target.

Except all the quotes and posts that are referenced on TBP are not extremists. They are highly upvoted posts/comments on TRP. If it were extremists, they wouldn't be on top of the frontpage. TRP on reddit, as far as I know the biggest Red Pill community on the internet upvotes these things.

I urge you to go to /r/feminism and try to find these "feminist extremist" comments on the front page.

I think it's because TRP is a pretty radical group. They're pretty much on the opposite end of the spectrum to radfems. But where radfems are often called out by other feminists (for e.g. sex negativity, transphobia, shitty attitudes towards sex workers, you can see this in /r/feminism), TRP posters can say that all women are whores or consent is for betas and it'll likely go unchallenged or even be upvoted. There's plenty of horrible shit that's been upvoted on the front page of TRP every day.

Because blue pill =/= feminism
