Remember that EMSK thread about how TRP is toxic and misogynistic and the reason for every bad thing happening in the world?

For you younguns who weren't around several years ago, the upshot is that a subreddit (PunchingMorpheus - yes it's as stupid as it sounds) was formed to offer men an alternative 'third way', supposedly rejecting the toxicity of TRP while also giving men more concrete steps to get laid and have healthy relationships compared to the standard self help advice that society feeds us.

It started off with a bang - the original EMSK post was gilded multiple times, tonnes of upvotes, hundreds if not thousands of hopeful men jumping over to the new subreddit to learn the secret art of getting laid without being a big, bad dude.

What happened next?

Simple - once people started asking for concrete advice on what they could do get laid, find a gf, etc. some familiar themes started to emerge. Things like "improve yourself", "be someone worthy of dating", "don't blame women", etc. Sound familiar? Yep, they basically ripped off the broader themes of TRP while leaving out the actual concrete actionable advice that men can use.

As you'd expect, once men realized that the sub had nothing to offer beyond standard bluepill advice, everyone left. With nothing left to say to salvage the failed experiment, the founder declared 'victory' a few months ago, basically saying the sub had accomplished its purpose since TRP got quarantined, incels got banned, etc. etc. nevermind that that was not the original purpose of the sub in the first place.

In the meantime, TRP has only grown and gotten stronger. I'd say the free market of ideas has definitely proven who 'won'.
