Where did you all go?

PennnyLame · 2019-08-18T01:30:40+00:00

I am still here. Been here for years- had to kill a few usernames that came before as I realized I had put out too much personal info. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Orange_Paisley · 2019-08-18T02:57:52+00:00

I’m at the dog park. After spending the day at the pool with my lovah.

Blonsomio · 2019-08-18T01:17:49+00:00

TRP failed to become relevant so people just moved on.

LordDunderhead · 2019-08-18T01:33:55+00:00

Probably spending time with their loved ones (including wives and kids) and living life to the fullest.

You can only spin plates and rehearse old recycled pickup lines for so long until your life becomes a pathetic reflexion of your empty soul.

When the debate became less about a debate between a blue pill that never existed and never wanted to exist and red pill to red pill vs black pill aka incels.

WestsideMoonWalker · 2019-08-18T02:56:04+00:00

Lol I've been here for 5 years, almost 6. When I'm not on here I usually just have shit to do, and don't need to kill time.

Gravel_Roads · 2019-08-18T10:48:53+00:00

A lot of the conversations that go on here are just kinda circling the drain, where it's less "RP debates BP" and more "sane people argue with paranoid dudes with social disorders".

Red Pill is fine and fun to discuss social behaviors with, but we're seeing more Black Pill than Red Pill anymore, and Black Pill can't be debated with, it's just wangsty nihilistic jerking off that depends on a victim mindset. And a victim mindset inherently can't improve or it loses its identity. So blackpillers cling to their victimhood and the dialogue dies in the cradle.

azngirl7689 · 2019-08-18T01:32:40+00:00

Still here. Almost left a few times when the “debating” got too personal and I was going through shit with dumbass ex and life in general.

wekacuck · 2019-08-18T01:24:22+00:00

Nobody cares. After everyone saw what losers redpillers truely are (starting with the RPS unmasking) everyone was forced to replace the fantasy feared with the lame reality.

hiilive · 2019-08-18T05:56:21+00:00

I came here to discuss the tactics of men who want to improve themselves and their dating/sex life, not to listen to men complain about how literally everything that is wrong in society is women’s fault because women are inherently malicious, dishonest and vile, and have no empathy for men.

Also, it’s become an increasingly polarized forum where no one is debating on good faith.

grafted_moom · 2019-08-18T02:49:38+00:00

As a woman, it kind of hurts to encounter so much misogyny, which is very present in a lot of debate based subs like this. It's exhausting, and pointless to some extent, trying to argue my humanity with people who think I'm inferior or hugely different from them because of the way I was born. I think you'd encounter more people willing to answer your questions about feminism on r/askfeminists , or something similar, but you're going to have to do it on their terms, and respectfully, which is hard for a lot of TRP veterans to stomach.

TLDR, we're getting tired of this shit

wtknight · 2019-08-18T03:08:57+00:00

I don't like to identify as Blue, but I often support BP positions.

yasee · 2019-08-18T03:44:58+00:00

I have been around for ages and I have actually come to sympathize more with the blue pill over time.

TRP is mostly right about the sexual dynamics. However, they also promote some politics that I strongly disagree with. They're basically proto-fascist. If you don't recognize it, then you're naive.

NockerJoe · 2019-08-18T01:35:46+00:00

I would say the opposite is true in actuality. The actual cultural problems that caused TRP have never actually been addressed and have been exacerbated the current cycle of young boys being subjected to social shame and control, finding no success in that framework, and being shamed for lack of success until they hit a breaking point is continuing. The prevalence of social media, the explosion in opioids and drug abuse, and the lack of real meaningful employment among younger generations despite having the most training and education to ever exist has only made this worse. We tell young people to expect success and admiration, give them the wrong training to achieve it, then call them failures when it inevitably doesn't work out while offering no real mainstream way for them to course correct. This isn't even a sex or gender thing, it basically outlines every facet of Millennial and Gen Z existence from employment to hobbies to just how we interact with each other on a day to day basis.

When I first joined this sub about eight months ago the go-to line for Boomers and Gen Xers was that normal people are still having normal relationships by their standards set in the 80's and 90's and if you have a problem you're just a loser who doesn't count and needs to shut up. But since then there's been an explosion in studies, that have been getting more and more mainstream attention, showing that social isolation and lack of professional and romantic success is rapidly becoming the norm. By the same merit the front page normie version of reddit has clued into this on it's own as men and women have been posting their OLD stats in chart form or talked about their employment situations and directly comparing against each other. There's been a serious and fairly rapid change in even the way mainstream subs discuss sex and relationships and you can see all the polite hemming and hawing has increasingly just melted away in the face of the reality people live in. Your life sucks. Most people's life sucks. You have to deal with it somehow and there's an explosion of ways that somehow is realized as new products are hitting the market or old ones are reinvented. TRP may be quarantined but like a dozen new communities have exploded since then for either those old users or new ones who would have fallen into it across all sites and social media.

I'll often side with RP but I'm not actually on team red. I've literally never posted on any manosphere subs and mostly hang out on hobby boards or the front page. I'm probably as normie as they come here and I found this sub mostly because I saw a lot of my friends fall down various mental holes and wanted to talk about it and find some way to help them. Except through all of this and despite your assertion that Blue Team has given up there's still a lot of the same old "everything is still good you just suck" shaming. Except it basically doesn't work anymore and an increasing number of those posters are realizing it and either shutting up or changing their tactics.

rasmelo · 2019-08-18T02:04:43+00:00

I'm purple. Still more blue than red though. Does that count?

strangelovesglasses · 2019-08-18T12:26:30+00:00

i left for a almost two years because i was bored of this place and i used to post on tbp a bit too. i was just living my life the way i always do.

[deleted] · 2019-08-18T12:42:29+00:00

My guess:

TRPers migrate to adjacent communities either based on nihilism (incels, MGTOW even though it pretends not to) or self-improvement (Jordan Peterson etc).

TBP probably migrates to inceltears or any other community where they can engage in virtue signal circlejerking. TBP had a lot of funny memes a few years ago, but the humor seems to be slowly disappearing from most of the watchdog/parody subs. Only funny one left is perhaps the justneckbeardthings sub. r/niceguys is getting drowned with obviously fake text convos.
