In the manosphere triad of MRA/PUA/MGTOW, it is commonly the case that on any subject, two will disagree with the third.

TheRedPill is one such situation. TRP is not a pickup artistry sub, although that is perfectly welcome here. Its a pragmatism sub that stands in opposition to the idealism of the well meaning but ultimately misguided posters at /r/mensrights.

We are concerned with THE WAY THE WORLD IS, not their way the world ought be.

As a result MGTOW idealolgy is perfectly welcome in TRP, because TRP is about helping men find the truth of the world we live in, so they can make an informed choice about whether or not to play along with the part society expects of them. For many men, the mgtows, it seems like a bad deal and so they step out, But at least they did so knowingly. They understand the truth, and make a value assement for themselves of whether risks are worth it TO THEM.

[–]Piroko 7 points8 points9 points 12 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

And, at the risk of going all no true scotsman...

When a person comes into trp and bullies on MGTOW, I have to question whether they're really taken the red pill at all or are just a white knight or a feminist woman trying to shame men into being pickup artists instead of MGTOWS.

Pickup artistry is still to women's benefit, in a backhanded way. But MGTOWs offer women nothing. They're the greatest threat, the true enemy of feminism, an unstoppable market pressure that will undo everything by simply saying no.

For all their "lol, good riddance, they were creeps", feminists are terrified of MGTOW.

[–]Silovka 5 points6 points7 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Simply wrong, son. Now go do some PUA tricks for your Herrin, so she might pat your head like the good little dog you are.

[–]NoThankYouJeff 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Another faux alpha who's read a few game articles and thinks he's the shit.

The red pill is only concerned with spreading the truth and nothing more.

It is also a form of liberation for men; to be absolved of all expectation from a society which does nothing at all for men.

And it is then hypocritical to lambast red pilled men [MGTOW's] for their choices as they choose to not abide by the system which you deem fit for everyone else.

Red pill is only a source of information for men. What you choose to do with it up to you. Personally I have the utmost respect for MGTOW, Gamers and MRAs.

They have all seen the light and have acted upon it and are not going to let the feminist system run them over.

[–]DanReggins 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Ah, yeah. As our community grows, we're going to see lots of this "true Scotsman" type shit.

Look, lots of men are sad and defeated when they finally take TRP. Sometimes, that's what it takes -- rock bottom.

So, let's teach them.

[–]ThumoticJonFrost25[S] -3 points-2 points-1 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yes. Let's teach them that video games and porn and ponies are not the way.

[–]Endorsed ContributorDoxasticPoo 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It's not just semantics, you're missing the point of MGTOW.

These men swallow TRP, see the world for what it is, then decide their purpose in life is so far beyond a woman, there is no room for one.

It's not that they've "given up". It's that they see reality and choose not to abide.

I totally get that. I love writing. Making music. Snowboarding. Surfing.... If my life purpose is to love me and be me, how does a woman in anyway fit into my life given the reality of who they are?

If your life purpose involves getting laid or procreating, then woman in necessary. Otherwise, go your own way.

I'm so glad you speak for all of us.

[–]ThumoticJonFrost25[S] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Checks history.

Mostly video game subs.

Brony status confirmed.

Thank you for demonstrating what sort of men object to this post.

Waste of time to even show him how wrong he is, pack up, don't feed the trolls.

[–]RedSunBlue 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Agreed. I don't see why anyone who has forsaken women and popular society in general would need to dive this deep into the reality of sexual strategy. If I'm not mistaken, isn't avoiding interaction with women besides what is absolutely necessary the whole point of going your own way?

[–]ar10308 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

I'm pretty sure that Danny504, Aurini, and Captain Capitalism are all some form of GROW.

MGTOW

[+]ThumoticJonFrost25[S] -6 points-5 points-4 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I actually don't have anything against the theory of MGTOW, and I know that technically it is compatible with men who pursue women.

It's just that in practice the MGTOW movement is filled with losers who just want to drag other men down to their level. They are mostly older men, and they get off on playing "guru" to young impressionable guys.

Not to 'pull rank' but I have been around this community for a while (author of Thumotic and Freedom Twenty Five) and I have seen a lot of PUA/MGTOW interaction. MGTOW's are generally bitter and negative people. There are exceptions (I have a ton of respect for Capt Capitalism and Aurini, whatever label they wear) but in general the MGTOW influence is negative and poisonous.

[–]Piroko 3 points4 points5 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Not to pull rank

Throws cred on the table.

So, where do you want your hypocrite stamp?

[–]deepsouthscoundrel 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Obviously a sub about sexual strategy it not going to jive with men who have completely given up on sex and relationships, but I'm not entirely sure that everyone who identifies as MGTOW has done that. Apparently there are four levels of MGTOW, and I'm sure many people on TRP qualify for the first two.

[–]Kiyanavasala 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

From what I've seen so far, there's overlap between the Big Three, and RP is the middle ground (Haven't wandered into r/seduction myself; no point dividing my attention between two camps before I've got my shit together with this one).

Where RP and MGTOW differ is that one group wants to better arm themselves for the battle because they deem it worthwhile, and the other has chosen not to fight because they don't deem it worthwhile.

Neither are wrong, and there's bound to be people in all three camps who showcase each camp at its best as well at those who showcase it at its worst.

There should be more cooperation between the groups when there's common enemies to be dealt with.

[–]Endorsed ContributorSarcasticus 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Go tell this to someone who's found the red pill after being raped in divorce court and isn't able to see his kids anymore. Certain men have undergone severe trauma due to women, and a rational response could be to not accept women into one's life again.

The red pill is a set of truths about the way the world works. Whether one uses that for PUA or MGTOW is up to each individual to decide.

"mostly faggots."

I thought TRP was about Truth, awareness and reality. What you claim cannot be correct...
