It shouldn't surprise anyone, that the Reddit community hates the Red Pill. Reddit is a place to hide from reality. It is a virtual world where people go to escape their monotonous jobs, meaningless lives and underachievement. Reddit is where sluts earn magic internet points by showing their booty holes to League of Legends Professionals. No matter how hard the nerds squeeze their penises or how wide the sluts spread their anuses, their condition remains unchanged. Fantasy begets underachievement which begets fantasy, ultimately creating a profitable positive feedback loop for Reddit Inc and their corporate sponsors.
The Red Pill breaks that loop. The Red Pill makes fantasy unfulfilling by ruthlessly creating negative associations between fantasy and loserdom. The Red Pill is anti porn, anti video game, and anti slut. Which is to say the Red Pill is anti Reddit. The Red Pill challenges you to improve by forcing you out of fantasy and into reality. The Red Pill has no quams about pulling your virtual reality headset off your fat fucking face, kicking you in the crotch, and shoving you into the trunk of the masculine self improvement van. The Red Pill doesn't need your consent because the Red Pill knows that you will thank the Red Pill after your deadlifts.
The question is, how did such an anti Reddit place survive on Reddit? Yes we followed all of the stupid little rules but so did Muammar Gaddafi, and look where that got him. Which is to say regardless of what you do they can always make up some bullshit to get rid of you. So why haven't they gotten rid of us?
The fact of the matter is the Social Justice team that runs Reddit may not like the the Red Pill but they need The Red Pill. For one thing, a giant politically correct hug box doesn't generate page views or excite journos enough to write about it. No one gives a fuck what a bunch of obese Tumblr lesbians and their beta lackeys think. In fact, that side of Reddit is so uncreative, they spend all of their time reading our side of Reddit and telling each other how offended they are. My diagnosis is that their adipose tissue robs their brains of blood flow and with it creativity.
The next thing to consider is that the Red Pill is stimulating at an emotional limbic level. Women flock to the Red Pill to read about how they are soulless vagina machines bereft of human decency absent societal compulsion. That is by far a more exciting read than any Gawker listicle or Cosmo sex advice column. Conformist Betas love to read the Red Pill because it gives them a convenient Other to project their wrongthink onto, and in so doing affirm their moral superiority. To leftists the Red Pill is a forbidden read and therefore an exciting one. We are intellectual pornography. This is the real reason why we are still here.
The Red Pill is Reddit's abusive boyfriend. Reddit tells everyone how toxic we are, that she can do so much better and even threatens to break up with us from time to time. But at the end of the day Reddit can't leave us. Reddit is a basic bitch who lives for abuse because abuse is the only thing that makes her life exciting.

Guys are so fucking stupid, they think if they conform to this stupid life of "the alpha" then they'll be happy, it's the biggest load of BS, but people I see everyday really do believe it. Just relax, do what you wanna do. If that involves porn, video games and sluts then indulge in all of those things. Figure out what works for YOU, don't conform to ANYTHING.

Look, he's contributing informative and entertaining posts for free. If he wants to capitalise off that, then so be it. It's one way (of many) he can make a return off of the time he has invested in this sub. You are by no means obligated to read the content, or buy a shirt, and neither is anyone else. If he has capital interests, then he is simply being rational. Instead of being outraged at the man for doing something you're not doing, why don't you learn what you can from him and aspire to make your own success.

It's not. GLO is trying to monetize on his involvement in the TRP. That's fair enough. I'm about 95% sure I'll never buy his shirts, but I follow him on twitter and enjoy reading his insights. As long as he doesn't start pay-walling to his posts, I'll be okay. I don't see anything wrong with him selling shirts. Rollo Tomassi sells his book, GLO his shirts, we all gotta eat right?

Agreed. One of the reasons I like to come here is vecause of the lack of commercialism and modern mass media that thrives on the blue pill. Seeing someone try to capitalize on trp sucks just as badly. I die a little inside everytime I see a manosphere/trp site try to hock merchandise.....

GLO has been providing material here on TRP for years before he started any self-promotion. He's spent a lot of effort providing value to others for free. He's built up his value and he's capitalizing on it, the very premise that drives TRP.
That's why we allow his self-promotion. Shilling and drive-by self-promotion will always be banned from this sub.
trumpisafaggybeta 7y ago
Self-promotion by anyone here is silly; don't reduce the message to a few t-shirts by a well-known contributor here. Regardless of what worth you put into him, shilling never reflects well at the end of the day.

I post (and read what's posted) here to disseminate/learn useful things that are RP-related. This is not a place to shill for your own capital interests; there are thousands of ways to do that outside of RP, without using RP theory to do it. Don't worry about my own success; I guarantee that I'm doing more with my life than some dude selling t-shirts on a reddit forum is.
IIlIIlIIIIlllIlIlII 7y ago
There is no such thing as a 'place to shill', a real businessman knows every place is a potential place to sell products. I question your self proclaimed success given your lack of marketing understanding and pragmatism.
No one is forcing you to buy the shirt. There is no paywall in front of these posts. He takes the time and effort to write content for you to enjoy, and you can support him by buying a shirt, or not. No one gives a fuck about your bitching, if you like whining over pointless shit maybe you should try tumblr.

trumpisafaggybeta 7y ago
Yeah there is. Red Pill just isn't one of them.
Question away, I couldn't give a fuck about what some pretentious fat kid thinks about me.
I love this logic, totally irrelevant to what I'm saying. These shill links shouldn't be here, in any form, at all. I don't care if it's at the bottom of a post or in the form of a paywall to read the article.
Likewise, no one gives a fuck about shills or the retards who defend them. This is a forum for sexual strategy for men in an age of feminism, not a forum for some douchebag to advertise products for personal gain.
Moldy_Gecko 7y ago
Here's the thing. He provides more quality posts usually than you or 95% of this sub. Him and one other guy that also provides more quality posts than you or 95% of this sub have been allowed to post links to their "Shirts for GLO" and "Blog for the other guy". Most of us that have been here a while and know their quality support that. If some new kid doesn't like it nor their content, he doesn't have to read it or he can leave. Door is always open. However, the effort they typically put into their posts and the knowledge/feedback you get from their posts is worth a link to a shirt that I've never clicked on.

Yet no less than the fucking founder and lead mod of this forum says its OK. So who is the autistic who doesn't know the rules? Who is the one agitating against those in charge? Who is the one who doesn't mean shit, doesn't contribute shit, and doesn't demonstrate an understanding of what TRP is really about?
Its you dude. Its all you.
trumpisafaggybeta 7y ago
Who gives a fuck? The lead mod doesn't own the ideas of RP, nor does anyone who posts here.
You just sound like some disgruntled fat kid lashing out because a clear shill got called out for shilling on a forum dedicated to sexual strategy.

We've been through this before, idiot. I'm stronger than you, in better shape and make more money. Check your post history and save the mud-slinging.

For me TRP is easy:
The last point brings me back to your post. I respect you (OP) for writing many posts in the past that I quite enjoyed. But I also think that this sub is not for long-term. I can´t give you (this sub) the commitment you want, sorry. There is only one person in my life that deserves this kind of recognition right now, and that´s me. I was with you for so long because it was fun and uncomplicated. Now I see that we don´t share as much common interests as it seemed like, and, I hate to say this, you may not have seen it coming, but I´m breaking up with you. Seeing you guys circlejerk knee deep in male tears gives me the feels that maybe your reality is also nothing more than a perspective. Like all other perspecives on the ole market-place of ideas. We´ve all been there, and life is not fair. However, I feel the urge to move on and focus on more constructive brainfeeds to achieve what I desire.
Wish you all the best. I´ll never forget you and what we had together.

Seems to be a disconnect between the conservative pro-marriage TRPers and the rest of us more libertarian-minded folk who see women for what they are and aren't trying to keep the marriage meme propped up.
Whether or not someone likes sluts, the whole point of this place is to understand that all women, even the supposed unicorns, have the potential for sluttery, and your sexual strategy should keep that in mind.
Moldy_Gecko 7y ago
Yeah, I'm confused. When the hell did any part of TRP become pro marriage? Even MarriedTRP is anti-marriage (if not already in one). Marriage does not fit the mold in TRP. If someone want to spout pro-marriage crap, they should be in MarriedTRP and even there, they'll likely be told "Don't get married!!"
IAMAwhitecismaleAMA 7y ago
Once you get your fill of pussy you start thinking longer term and about the implications slut culture has on western society.
Moldy_Gecko 7y ago
I'll give this some credit for the first part. I could give a fuck about the implication on society, but I will say that you become very desensitized after you've got your fill. I start to look at women as nothing. I don't really like that. Hopelessness when it comes to the opposite sex is a bad thing. When every girl you date, you fuck on the first date, you lose hope that there might be some chick that don't just give it up that easy. I even had a virgin 2 weeks ago give it to me the first night. I was all sorts of WTF'd. Almost didn't want to do it, but it's been a while since I had a virgin.
And then it comes to the point where I don't want to be the douche, but these women make me one (i.e. giving me your virginity on the first night and expecting more), so it makes me want to be like "Fuck it", I'll be a dick all the time.
IAMAwhitecismaleAMA 7y ago
I know what you mean. I've just started pushing the manipulation farther and farther with every girl. One girl, I had her go on a date with some typical beta I picked out of her facebook friends. He paid for everything and brought her home. She told him to wait in the car for a couple minutes. She came inside and I busted a nut inside her then she went out to invite the guy into the house and he ate her out.
That's not even the craziest shit. I would be thrown in prison for some stuff.
The way I justify it is that the girls enjoy it even more than I do.
We do it for them, buddy.

In fact I have people, they call me, they call me and say, Donald! You have by far, just the greatest sluts. Tremendous sluts. I say this not in a braggadocious way but it really is true, believe me. Now you look a place, like China! Or like Mexico, and you see they're winning. They're beating us with their sluts. We don't win anymore folks, we don't win with sluts anymore. With me we're gonna take the sluts back, we're gonna win again, and we're gonna make our sluts great again.

Yeah, she was the first time. But even after 20 years she still get a gleam in her eye when i grab her arse and chuck her on the bed. She cums buckets if you take charge.

vengefully_yours 7y ago
Those girls are sluts, but only for a very specific group of men. Outwardly they appear chaste, virginal, pure, but behind closed doors they're cock swallowing masochists into all manner of debauchery. Often their husbands never know, but Chad does when he comes by to clean the pool or fix her washing machine.

Thank you. Great point. How many cultures have you experienced? I am stating my points after spending many years in different Asian cultures and studying them closely. Ofcourse there are sluts there too but in a much smaller percentage. How many years have you spent in East Asian countries or Gulf countries or South Asian countries?
"But bro, I didn't need a worldview or a different perspective. The dozen women I know are all sluts. Must be true for the entire world. You disagree? That's what every beta thinks."
If you think every woman is a slut then you're an idiot.
Moldy_Gecko 7y ago
Ah, you must be Asian? I've lived the last 12 years of my life in Asia. Which country is conservative? Because I have a chick from China that comes to visit me every month or other month to get plowed all weekend. I tie her up, fuck the shit out of her and cum in her mouth. If I enjoyed Anal, I'd do that too (still might, just to prove my point). Ph, Viet, Sg, Malay, and Thai girls are easy as pie (FYI, that's SE Asia). Japan, Korea, China are a little more difficult (because they're westernized with entitlement), but still fuckable on the first date. Being white likely has it's advantages, but still shows that they'll put out for the right guy (perhaps foreign is a pre-requisite).
vengefully_yours 7y ago
How many "good girls" have you fucked? From personal experience, they'll do anything for the man who gives her tingles, anal, bjs, kink. Etc. So nice on the outside so freak on the inside. Believe it.
Girls are far more sexual than we are, but only for the right men. If they aren't freaks for you, then you're the wrong man.

47 countries, lived overseas for over ten years. Was engaged to an Arab girl from UAE. I'd say I have a rather extensive experience of the world.
I know exactly how the culture is, and I know exactly how the female nature is as well. The culture can only do just so much to control the feminine nature. Believe whatever else you want at your own peril.
pedler 7y ago
The UAE is a conservative country?
If you only mix with the elite in every country you go to, it would seem that way. That is because they are westernized, and have the same habits of westerners. Meet real people who live outside the bubble of being born into a rich family, and your perspective will change,
vengefully_yours 7y ago
It was very conservative 25 years ago. Public execution and everything.
I know very few rich people. To think I'm elite is extremely humorous to me. I lived among the locals, learned their languages enough to get around, and came to appreciate the vast difference in culture as well as how people can be so very much the same. I was military, but not sequestered like the army idiots, I have friends all over the globe from work and from living on the economy. Even on deployments I wasn't encumbered by the military, because I know enough about the Arab world to be quite safe and professional. I know how to talk with them, even if I don't know all of their language. I learned some Korean, Russian, German, and Arabic to get around. I learned it by living with them.
I grew up poor as fuck. I've done amazing things because I wanted to and made it happen by doing whatever I needed to do. Not because dad had money. I was the second of six kids, and farming in the 70s and 80s was a shit income, so if I wanted something I had to bust my ass to get it. Nothing was ever handed to me, which is why I put in whatever effort was needed to get shit done. People who know me in person are amazed at what I can do, because I had to learn how to do it since I haven't been able to pay others until very recently, and I still do it all myself.
There is no bubble here, I am one of the unwashed masses.

The Arab girl I was engaged to was willing to do anal, and gave mind bending blowjobs. 28 year old virgin from Dubai.
My second wife was a 21 year old virgin when I broke it, she was an absolute freak in bed. Definitely the kinkiest chick I've ever known.
The girl in Chicago I'm fucking now appears to be wholesome, pure, very professional. She is anything but "good" in my bed. She gave me a blowjob in my truck in the airport parking lot the first day I met her.
I've known countless sluts, fucked many of them. They'll do anything I want, but they won't do it for their boyfriend. I've fucked plenty of good girls, and they are just as freaky as the sluts.
Trust me on this. She is a slut for the right man. If they're not freaks for you, then you're not the right man.

As do I. I'm not possessive at all, I don't want the girl to myself. I've shared chicks with my bros before. I don't mind sharing as long as I bust my nut. If my bro wants to fuck a plate or a fwb, I'm cool with it. The pussy ain't mine, doesn't mean shit to me what she does with her body. I hate prude women. I don't care about ltrs etc, and I'm gonna use surrogates for kids in the future, so I don't need all that. I love fun, free-spirited slutty women. I don't curl back in disgust if she fucks my whole team, I'm totally cool with that as long as I get some. If you're disgusted by sluts, you're disgusted by women. Ain't no fun if the home don't get none.

"Women flock to the Red Pill to read about how they are soulless vagina machines bereft of human decency absent societal compulsion."
Uhh this is not at all what I take from red pill - the group doesn't advocate the dehumanization of women. On the contrary I've seen a lot of respect for women, just not at the expense of men. It's honestly just seeing women as people, just as flawed as men but in different ways.
The Red Pill has macho-ism while still having morals and principles. It's by no means encourages people to to see women as objects - but this is very much what that sentence suggests.

Since the creation of TRP emergency site we have options. And since we have options, we can literally shit on them.
I'd even go as far to say that banning TRP would actually benefit us, as a group. Sure, we would have less traffic, but the ratio of quality to shit posts would greatly improve.

TRP is still here because we are not a 'Hate Sub' despite what many claim. Correct me if I'm wrong. Also, that Guardian article - which could have been a vicious hatchet job - has made us look 'almost reasonable' from a mainstream blue pill perspective. Perhaps the Red Pill is moving the 'Overton window' in our direction.

It's the subversive anti-SJW nature of the Red Pill that makes it so much fun.
We just aren't going to abandon our Freedom of thought and that's just too close to a divine sort of truth to ignore.
We touch some deep truths that the Blue Pill mythology only sees through a fog.
But at the same time... if we were banned it wouldn't shock me either.

If you're anti video game, it's a completely irrational belief. There are tons of scientific studies that prove that video games reduce violence, improve reaction speed, and have therapeutic effects.

Your impression that Reddit "needs" The Red Pill is delusional. It's ironic that you posted that Zizek video, talking about the nonexistent "other," and here you are painting the Reddit owners and administrators as the big bad enemy SJWs—just another convenient Other.
Just like most companies, Conde Nast and by extension Reddit exist to make money. Why they claim to have banned or "quarantined" certain subreddits, it wasn't because they have some ideological leftist goals in mind. If anyone had any ideology, it one of Reddit's original founders, Aaron Swartz, whose libertarian values and "free speech" philosophy probably helped keep subreddits like jailbait, coontown, fatpeoplehate and the like alive for so long. Reddit perfectly happy letting these subreddits exist until they started getting bad PR. While mainstream media attention like Anderson Cooper's attack initially drove traffic to the site, Reddit knew it was unsustainable if it was to continue to attract mainstream betas and women like you mention above, who is most of Reddit's userbase. The Red Pill still exists because it drives traffic to Reddit, just like any other subreddit. Do you really think the Reddit admins are tearing their hair out, thinking "if only we could ban that horrible subreddit The Red Pill—but how would we ever survive without those Guardian page views???"
If and when someone like Anderson Cooper does a hit piece on The Red Pill, its existence may indeed be threatened. That's why one of the top rated posts in this subreddit is on what do to when it inevitably gets banned, and part of the reason why TRP.red was created. The Reddit admins don't get tingles, and women Redditors don't respond on an "emotional limbic level" to The Red Pill's "abuse." That's a completely narcissistic and frankly laughable fantasy. The reality is that The Red Pill, on the whole, is ignored by non-subscribers, besides being occasionally laughed about on AskReddit when they have a circlejerk over the worst subreddits.
As Zizek says in the video you posted, "we are alone." And that suits me just fine.
MeatCurtainRod 7y ago
I consider TRP to be that uncle of the reddit family that is outcast because he doesn't conform to the reddit hivemind, is shunned because he is rooted in reality and self-improvement, but is respected and needed nonetheless because he brings value into the family.

Poor post. TRP is not anti video game or anti slut. Only exception is for those who are addicted to porn or video games to the extent that it ruins their real life.
Also no, none of these reasons are why Reddit hasn't banned this community. The communities banned when Pao came to power were part of a specific propaganda only known to the reddit owners and considering the nature of those communities, I'd do the same if I were an owner on here.
Reddit encouraged free speech. But that doesn not mean you're allowed to ruin people's real life. Go through the list of banned subreddits, a simple glance and common sense would tell you why they're banned.

Reddit is too pussy to ban The Red Pill.
TheeRyanGrey 7y ago
Here is a factor you touched on but I wish you had slammed home:
Women and losers don't know how to have fun, how to find happiness alone. Losers are dependent on women for their self-esteem or the alpha male of their group to lead them.
Women are so dependent on outside stimuli for happiness that they shop until they're in debt. They can't go out alone to the movies or to a bar---Slight correction: I've met women alone at bars and they're always sluts, 100% of the time they're down to smash---because they don't know how to find happiness alone.
The Red pill is here for the same reason the Republican party exists in its tired, washed out husk of a form: Without a unified enemy, the Tumblrinas and League of Legenders and TwoChromosomes and all the other pieces of this Leftist amalgam would realize they have nothing in common whatsoever.
They are dependent on us to unify them because they have no real purpose.

I had a takeaway from it. It made me think of the Batman vs. Joker co-dependence argument. Of course Reddit thinks TRP plays the Joker role but we all know it's the reverse.
benuntu 7y ago
Wait, what? That sounds like a personal preference. I'm for all of those things, in moderation of course, and handled with the right attitude.
Video gaming is like golf. It's time consuming, expensive, and nobody really makes any money at it except for the superstars. If you spend all your time doing it but are not a pro, you're wasting effort/money/time. It's a game, so play it to have fun but don't overdo it.
Pron is also fine, in moderation and with the proper mindset. That is not reality, most guys don't have 10" dongs, and not all women squirt like a goddamn broken fire hydrant. It can be a turn on with your woman even, if she's into that. Just don't be addicted to it or you're going to have a bad time. Focus that horndog desire into getting out and meeting some real living women.
And sluts are great, I don't know many men who honestly doesn't believe that sluts have a special place in our hearts. Sure, they may not be candidates for an LTR, but to be fair that's not what men want most of the time anyways. Also, men are sluts if we're really being honest. Don't get all bent, we're all just having a good time...embrace your inner slut!

Since you mention League of Legends, let me ask something. I was thinking of making a post here about the Gross Gore situation, but I'm not sure if people would be interested.
In short, a popular twitch streamer who was making around $200,000 a year just got permabanned from his main source of income over some sluts. Dude is loud and speaks his mind and occasionally says some redpill things, but is a romantic blue pill beta bucks at heart. He's going to a big event with his best friend and instead of just fucking fan girls there, he wants to find a girl to bring along with no pressure for sex as a cutesy double date international trip with his best friend. The sluts, of course, disappear to fuck pro gamers and show back up in the morning.
When he gets home and back on twitch, Gross goes on an hour long rant about the girls, the pros, and broadcast analyst who was supposedly spreading rumors that Gross had tried to rape the girl he took to the event. Gross said in passing that he'd heard the analyst had slept with a 15 year old. Boom. Banned. Career ruined. Over trying to have a cute blue pill date/trip with a slut and massively overreacting.
Not sure if this is worth its own post but though it was at least mentioning somewhere.

Yeah. It was really dumb. But the reason for the ban was "harassment", not defamation or libel. Some of Gross' fans were apparently spamming Krepo's stream about it.
I do feel bad for the guy though, especially if Krepo really was spreading rumors about Gross being an attempted rapist. He should have gone to Twitch or Riot with the chat logs of accusations instead of spreading counter-rumors as revenge.

Christians invented the devil? Hmm...K
NeoreactionSafe 7y ago
And actually the Torah (hebrew) doesn't even see things in terms of good and evil, but more like awake and asleep.
The original idea was that like in the Red Pill we would understand the inner workings of the mind that becomes the basis of Game. If everyone knows Game then the tyrant cannot fool anyone.
Only the tyrant gains advantage by dumbing down the masses and creating the pyramid.
So if you are Dark Luciferian you seek to dumb people down (Blue Pill system) but if you are Red Pill you wake people up.
Christianity used the devil as a way to herd the sheep.
Red Pill isn't compatible with the "Shepherd --> Sheep" model... we elevate Freedom by Killing the Beta and teaching the true meaning of Game... which is a good thing.
sir_wankalot_here 7y ago
Neo knows all this, it is just for others. Early Christianity split into two major groups. The Christianity of Peter, which became modern Christianity and the Christianity of Thomas which where called Gnostics. Gnost means knowledge or enlightenment, and Jehovah is shown as a psychopath. Jesus is not the son of Jehovah, but a prophet or a Wiseman.
The crucifixion of Jesus by the Gnosts for some of them was most likely metaphorical. It symbolizes you can kill the man, but not the message.
What would become modern Christianity when they got a chance, wiped out the Gnonostics. This explains why all of the gnostic texts we have where carefully stored in airtight containers and hidden in caves. They wanted to preserve the message.
This explains modern Christianity's attack on Thomas. Paul most likely was a Gnostic but because he was so well known, after he died they had to do revision. So half of the letters written by Paul in the Bible are forgeries. As in someone else wrote them.
Paul himself when he is in prison says things like you can put chains on my body but I am still free.
This is interesting from a historical perspective. We basically have a record of one of the earliest propaganda wars that took place over several centuries. And the Gnostics lost but yet they didn't.
NeoreactionSafe 7y ago
We always end up back at the Torah (hebrew) which is the Rubik's Cube that exposes the workings of Game.
If everyone knows Game then tyrants are powerless to enslave us.
The Red Pill (when taken beyond sexual wisdom) frees us from slavery coming from the globalists who are today's tyrants.
The Gnostics were closer to the present day "True Torah Jews".
http://www.truetorahjews.org
...who are a very small subcategory.
Game awareness is for everyone... no one owns it and never will.
sir_wankalot_here 7y ago
What /u/NeoreactionSafe said. Basically the Bible is a cut and paste job that took place over centuaries. So the ideology evolved.
If you read the book of Job closely, the word used for the Devil is daemon, those of you familiar with Linux know it means a creature that does thing in the background, it is a servant. Job is one of the oldest books in the Bible. So the question comes in, who is this daemon a servant for ? Jehovah, the jealous psychopath God. Notice when they are conversing they are buddy buddy.
The Jews originally had many gods like the Greeks or Romans did. Jehovah being the psychopath storm God. All gods require statues, but Jehovah is literally air, that is why he needs a special ark. The construction of the ark makes sense under this description.
Under this light his other commandments like "I am a jealous God, don't worship other gods starts to make sense.
Why is this interesting ? Initially the Jews where 12 wandering tribes (possibly more but then number 12 sounds nice). That where unified under a king, this happened when they started to develop agriculture and no longer needed to be nomadic. From a social evolutionist point of view, you have a written record that shows how ideology evolved over a 3000 year period.
NeoreactionSafe 7y ago
And the Torah (hebrew) was the equivalent of Newtonian physics in that for the first time the knowledge of Game was written down and exposed.
Game is the key... Game is the ability to bend the mind of another and have power over them.
By making Game awareness widespread it sets a limit on the power of globalists (tyrants) who seek to dumb down the masses and rule over their pyramid.
growingstronk 7y ago
If I may ask
Where did you read all of this?
sir_wankalot_here 7y ago
A variety of sources including biblical scholars. Modern Christianity is basically BP in an RP wrapper. I actually used to be an extremely devout Christian in my youth, and had studied the Bible extensively.
The gospel of John from the start attacks Thomas, that is the entire purpose of that gospel. I never could understand why Thomas was under attack. The letters of Paul, some of the letters contradict his earlier letters. These where the questions I had.
One allegeded letter of Paul's mentions a church structure like deacons etc. It then says blindly obey the leader of the church, he has been appointed by God. Paul setup "churches" but they where more just groups of people, he stayed in the area for maybe a month or more then fucked off. His definition of church would be like a modern self help group, there was no building. .
Why then is this letter mentioning a church structure ? It obviously was written atleast 100 years after Paul died.
The fact is Jesus was an RP guy, it is debatable if he even claimed to be the son of God. And to put it bluntly it was the Romans who wanted him killed, not the Jews. Some Gospels which where not accepted into the Bible clearly state this. Reason to change this fact was so the religion could be accepted by Romans.

I've noticed an upsurge in "pffft" dismissive mentality lately. There are three offenders just in this thread block. They just can't find it in themselves to contribute productively. You'll also find their post histories indicate many many hours of video games.
They can't even appreciate GayLubeOil for who he is - or even accept it. How hard is that?
My take is that their jimmies get rustled by GayLubeOil's personality and they aren't man enough to let it go. Their sense of self-importance compels them to detract detract detract as if they are adding value somehow by contrast.

Great post but I disagree with your last paragraph. To liken us to a abusive BF is exactly what the SJW want people to think.
The red pill for me is seeing the truth of the situation and calling a spade a spade. SJW and BP may not like that and definitely don't understand how a woman could be happier with a red pill man who treats them like a person instead of queen on a pedestal.
A better comparison for me is that guy everyone says is an asshole but can't stop hanging around with. Because he's fun, exciting, wants the best for himself and everyone around him, and you know exactly where you stand with him.
MRPguy 7y ago
As he stated, they need to think this to give them a reason for existence. If not that, then they find something else to harp about. Nobody cares what the SJWs think about Red Pill. They don't exist to the Red Pill Man.
We, however, do exist to them because it is our very existence that facilitates their purpose. Without red pill, blue pill does not exist.

I agree on principal however his last paragraph states we are the abusive BF. Frankly I don't care if a SJW thinks that way, but I don't think OP should have stated it as plainly as he did.

The powers that control the Matrix hate it, they harass us, threaten us, and make it seem like we are one step away from being destroyed. But it's all for show because it's an important function we serve, as a place to direct their energy towards, and as a safety valve for those who take the pill to escape to, without fully leaving the world of Reddit completely.
Once you reach TRP you're no longer plugged in, but you're still operating within their ecosystem (it brings eyeballs and clicks to their website, which Reddit needs for business reasons).
truthyego 7y ago
Ironically, the nebuchadezzar, morpheus, and everything "outside" the matrix is actually still plugged in and part of the matrix. It was all just another layer of control.

The booty hole for league of legends fags is the best quote I've seen on Reddit. There's a lot of fags here thinking video games are progressing their life. I enjoy playing video games every now and then but I'm very aware it's a shitty hobby if you can even call it that. Every league of legends homo on Reddit thinks they're great and are going to get YouTube famous. Even more embarrassing are these guys who watch guys play games. They can be as mad as they want but they will not be high quality men until they realize they are wasting their free time playing nerd shit. I get why people like it but it's not increasing your real world value in anyway and defending it to try to make you seem like a top tier guy because you play it for 4 hours a day is beta behavior. It's funny to see how many guys here will never truly make it as a red pill man.
VanityKings 7y ago
It's much easier to hate on someone/something else than it is to change yourself.
As long as TRP exists shameless SJWS and incorrigible betas have a mutual enemy to spend their time and energy on.
The ironic thing is that if they focused their efforts into bettering themselves instead of trying to lower the bar for everyone else they would probably be posting on here

I only recently added deadlifts to my regiment. I was always worried about my form and ended up doing rows and other stuff. So let me now say, Thank you for forcing me to do deadlifts! I am noticing a HUGE difference since I added them. As to the rest of your post, who cares what a bunch of whiny bitches on the internet think?
RedSovereign 7y ago
If you haven't already, throw squats into the mix as well. I put them off forever thinking they only train your legs. Stupid notion.
Canttakethewhyfromme 7y ago
I've been doing squats regularly for a while. I also jog, so I am tempted to skip them sometimes, but then I hate myself and make myself do them. But, oh shit, do I feel the deadlifts!

I have to agree with this- when I started out I was scared stupid of deadlifts.

Is TRP really anti video game? TRP seemed very pro GamerGate and many RPillers are pro GamerGate; GG was one of the most effective groups to actually fight against the SJWs.
[deleted] 7y ago
TRP is anti consuming. GG is about leaving guys alone to their hobbies, same as the gun lobby.
If you can handle your shit, sure, go play some minecraft on the weekends. But if you, like many on here, are doing it in between jerk off sessions and getting that business started, then you should probably be anti game.
Plus, there's something to be said about re sensitizing the dopamene rush that turns numb after too much COD
redpillnexus 7y ago
I think TRP is anti "gamer" but not anti "games". I play video games every now and then myself. I own all of the consoles and a couple hundred games. However, I don't waste my time playing them all day long like the neckbearded beta males like to do on DoTa and LOL. Some people obsessively play video games to the point where they ignore real life and stay like losers forever. Then they complain that nobody finds them interesting or attractive. TRP is against that.
a_nus 7y ago
There's nothing wrong with enjoying video games, if and only if you're first taking care of the obviously more important things in life.
Dravous 7y ago
you don't have to like video games to support people calling out liers and scam artists. "gamer" might not be an admirable lifestyle choice around here, but they aren't sluts trading sex for press coverage and then filing lawsuits to get an ex-boyfiend to shut-up about it.
TheBadGod 7y ago
"Anti" is strong.
Amongst the core elements of TRP is "self improvement" and "investment in yourself."
Things like video games, social media, and other leisure activities that become basic time-wasters distract you from pushing yourself to be better than you were the day before.
Saying "Get off of Reddit" isn't going to make you get off of Reddit. It's supposed to make you pay attention to the time you spend wasting time.
reddick1 7y ago
I used to be a hardcore gamer in high school and early university days. My RL suffered from it.
I think about the past and how entertaining it was at the time - I had some good times with online friends, but it wasn't the kind of memorable experiences I started to have and relish when I stopped playing games and started going outside and meeting people, and learning/building tangible and visible skills.
Once I got into the habit of being productive and making memorable experiences for myself, I simply can't go back to gaming the way I did.
I enjoy myself far more now by having physical hobbies and social interactions.
AmazonExplorer 7y ago
I would say they're only against video games in principle. Video games are a form of escapism which is widely abused by many men. It would be extremist to say that men should drop video games entirely but it should be recognized that once you turn off the ps4, those "achievements" are meaningless. Happiness is brought about by purpose and meaning. Video games will not satiate this, it will only temporarily distract you. I recognize this even though video games have been near and dear to me since childhood. I still play, but I also direct my energies to more fulfilling activities such as exercise and reading.

TRP is not a democracy and is certainly not mob rule. It doesn't matter what the collective thinks. The passive, consuming "activity" of "gaming" is not endorsed by the established contributors (such as GayLubeOil) as a method of self improvement.
aa223 7y ago
TRP isn't very much anti-video game as they are telling you, you have better things to do besides play video games. A lot of people here also love anime so there is that as well. But even we know the point is to make sure your responsibilities are handled before indulging.
huzaifa96 7y ago
Basically, this. Ultimately, it's all a waste of time, but if you have shit managed & occasional "get the edge off" need, it's a shit-ton better than being a drug addict, that's for sure.
Most people here seem to talk about money-eating games (games that never end) like StarCraft, LoL, WoW, etc....but me, I just like a good story. When it ends, you had a nice time in someone's head, you may have learned from it...& that's that.
Dunno if that justifies large companies spending 100's of millions of dollars paying 1000's of programmers & staff in building it, though.

I read a post that said video games is escapism, it really does take your mind and put you in the game.
it gives you something easy to work towards and rewards you for it, but you end up playing games instead of doing things more worthy of your time.

Well said. Your points in how these 3 things always "give and take" stuck with me throughout the day. Thank you.

niczar 7y ago
The problem is that for people with severe ADHD like myself, it's nearly impossible to enjoy video games (and many other things for that matter) responsibly. I could fire up StarCraft II to play a few games before bed, and then hear my alarm clock ring as I just spent 8h on the ladder without realizing it.
(And no, video games do not cause ADHD, they're just very appealing to us because they capture our attention which we have a very hard time deliberately focusing.)
So I just uninstalled all my games, and when I feel like playing ... I go to the gym.
Moldy_Gecko 7y ago
That's the right way to do it.
Rathadin 7y ago
I disagree with both you and /u/GayLubeOil.
Video games are nothing more than the natural evolution of stories. First we had oral stories, then we had written stories, then filmed stories, and now we have highly interactive stories.
The problem is not video games. The problem are people who're using them as a crutch.
My older brother is a photographer and videographer for National Geographic, he loves single player story-based games, and he probably dates and has sex with more women than I do.
Don't try to blame the medium for the consumer's lack of control.

Video games as a way of life. There's nothing wrong with enjoying them in moderation, but a common theme among betas is that they identify more strongly as a gamer than pretty much everything else.
I'm a gamer and unashamed of it, but first and foremost I'm a bodybuilder and a physicist. Betas are gamers and everything else is a distant second.
[deleted] 7y ago
To add to this, everyone who has ever played a significant amount of video games knows that they are like other quick and easy pleasures: they are satisfying in the moment, but the feeling fades quickly, leaving you hungering for fulfillment. Everyone needs things like this in their life, but someone who does nothing but play video games will probably never be truly happy.
marinewannabee97 7y ago
Totally agree with this, I would identify as a powerlifter then a gamer. I used to play several hours a day. Now, I play maybe a few hours every week. My grades have gone up and I have gotten stronger. All becuase I relocated a few hour a day. Although after my exams I do intend on a small dark souls binge.
VegasSaint9 7y ago
I used to play a lot of games in my teens. Never into grinding MMOs or stuff just lots of CoD and Madden. Moderation is fine, and when you have literally nothing better to do. The point is to make sure you have things to do though.
However with that said my friend recently discovered RP and forwarded me a snapshot of the strange vernacular people use here. Like beta bitch, etc. To be fair it sounded like the circle-jerk portion that can go off the deep end here. However this guys plays video games all day and doesn't really improve anything tangible in his life and started calling it cult-like that was really dumb. Safe to say he doesn't get much. He's a fairly intelligent guy too, just not very masculine. I find it so strange that the one thing he bashed to me would help improve his life so much. I've even tried slipping him some advice here and there.
RP can be pretty strange at first and especially if a woman's never torn your heart out, but it has so much truth to it. It has really helped me gain confidence and lift harder every day. I've never been happier. It's all about self-improvement. This just promotes my theory that people who don't have the right mindset will only believe bullshit they've been been fed their whole lives. No self-awareness, self-improvement or anything.
DrunkenOni 7y ago
100%. Identifying primarily as a gamer is code for "I have nothing more interesting going on in my life so my primary hobby must be escapism".

I used to make games and I view it the same way. Haven't played in about a decade.
They're just okay in moderation and by moderation I mean brainless time where someone has to add in game with TV+internet-surfing-etc to get a true number, a lot of gamers view it as an activity of its own.
A lot of the down and outs I know complain about not having a girl or a shit job but they spend all their downtime in front one screen or other. That's only good if you have a shot of becoming a korean game tournament superstar.
[deleted] 7y ago
One of the most beta guys I've ever known said to me "Korea is the greatest country in the world because you can get laid by being good at Starcraft."
The funny thing about him and others like him though is that he wasn't good. He's just kinda mediocre at it like everything else in his life. When I game, I do it like everything else and do it well or not at all.
The guys we're talking about here who do too much gaming are those who not only waste crazy time on WoW, they are incredibly bad at it (standing in fire).
PM_Me_Yo_Tits_Grrl 7y ago

At one point, about 10 years ago, my WoW arena team was ranked 4th overall in the world (we finished with something like a 2465 arena score). (I also ranked in 2s and 3s bracket, I was unemployed for the 6 months prior and played about 8 hours a day.
Didn't get me laid. Cognitive dissonance set in, how can I be so successful in every single area of my life but so terrible with women, being a guy in the military with the uniform didn't get me laid, working in a restaurant with lots of access to women didn't get me laid, even making 100,000 a year at my newest job wasn't getting me laid. I made changes to my life until things improved. I went out and I searched for answers and that's how I found out about "the game" and PUAs... And began the slow process of learning game. Things improved, but they still weren't "good" which is eventually why I easily swallowed the red pill.
Winners are going to win at whatever they do. I actually watched a story today on tiger woods that talked about how he spent all his free time jumping out of airplanes and learning to be a special forces soldier. Because that's what he wanted to do, not just be the best golfer, but the best at everything. No wonder why he was balls deep in so many women, he made "winning" his number one priority in life, and didn't know how to do anything but win.

Not at all. Get back into streaming mate. I myself may start doing it here so I can play games again. I gave up gaming when I first started my redpill journey because I made it a personal rule that I won't game unless I'm streaming and at least doing something productive with it.

Some hobbies are better for meeting women than others. If you collect coins and stamps, I wouldn't normally bring that up in front of a woman. If you go hang gliding or horseback riding, maybe figure a way to work that into the conversation.
Moldy_Gecko 7y ago
You're right. TRP doesn't say "get a hobby". They say, "get an interesting hobby". One you can tell stories about. Spelunking is gay in my opinion, but it's an interesting hobby that you can have some amazing stories with. I would enjoy listening to a spelunking story even if I'm not interested in Spelunking. Unless the person you're talking to is a gamer (Key tip, most women aren't), they don't care about your level 110 warlock that does over 9000 dps.
TedTheAtheist 7y ago
And there are women who play video games. :) Yes, I agree.
redwithahintofred 7y ago
"Downvotes from man-children"? Using the word 'should' after trying to defend your point of view? Nice arguments there mate. The first one is ad hominem, the second is called prescriptive ethics.
You don't get to change the definition or 'move the goalposts' by using something 'other than the Webster definition' to try justify your arguments either.
If you think Video Games isn't a hobby, talk about how unproductive it is and how TRP teaches us to find ways to enjoy a hobby that can translate into value. Don't talk about the fucking definition and then edit your post crying about downvotes when the usual pedantic reddit army gets up your fucking ass.
Moldy_Gecko 7y ago
To be honest, people are fucking up what TRP says on all sides. TRP doesn't say get a hobby. It says, " get an interesting hobby". Often sited is Martial Arts. Since TRP also recommends learning a Martial Art, you kill 3 birds with one stone. Physically healthy for you, interesting stories, and protection.
Sure, video games in themselves are hobbies. Sure, you can have some interesting stories about your gaming. The problem is the people that want to hear those stories are not the people we're aiming for, usually. The point of hobbies in TRP is to make your life not boring, which in turn gives cool shit to talk about or show women. Video games aren't very effective at this.

Both are shit unless you're being productive with them.
Example: I know a guy who runs a Game of Thrones blog. He has 2 million subscribers, makes several thousand a month off it. Dude watches TV all day and then writes about it.
[deleted] 7y ago
Good example, but i was hinting to the part where games tend to improve reflexes and some forms of intelligence (like spatial one), exactly the opposite of vegetating in the front of TV.
The dude in question obviously actively digests the show because he needs to write about it.
Ill_mumble_that 7y ago
Oh yeah definitely. A good video game / puzzler like Zelda: Ocarina of Time or an FPS like CS:GO will definitely exercise the mind a bit. Increases hand-eye-coordination and reflexes.
But I hear people using that excuse waaaaay too often defending their "gaming" addiction or laziness.
Yeah, it's better for you than watching TV. But what the fuck isn't? There are too many keyboard jockeys that think they'll be the next alpha-dog, who slays pussy like Ryan Gosling, without giving up their video game habits. Then there's retards who call sitting and playing tetris for 40 hours a week a hobby. It's not a hobby, it's a bad habit. That word was never intended for a mostly useless activity that produces nothing.
I got another friend that, just like the GoT guy. But this guy instead plays ARK: Survival Evolved 24/7 and streams it all to YouTube. Dude has like 300K subcribers and is pulling $3K a month between the gaming and the donations he gets to keep his channel going. There are people out there that are worse than TV watchers or gaming addicts, and those are the people that are addicting to watching other people play games - they are almost as bad as hardcore football fans who can't miss watching a game without losing their shit.
[deleted] 7y ago
You're on point.
And I agree that the pewdiepie phenomenon is something bad that just replaced TV: the passivity of TV+ the entertainment of games=watching other people play them for you

$36k a year for a job with no benefits or perks and no marketable talent. Jesus christ.
Moldy_Gecko 7y ago
And single with little to no time investment (most streamers only stream 2-3 hours/day). And he's probably not even at his peak. Another 100k subs and he'll be at $48k/year. 100k more and $60k/year. Like any job, you don't usually start out at the top. And he's an entertainer (marketable talent). I know a lot of streamers that ended up getting hired as community managers for large gaming companies (or smaller ones that grew). Now that E-sports is a thing, they often get hired as commentators too.

No self-respecting man will wear anything close to what you're selling. You either get a solid color shirt, or none at all, which would be infinitely better because you rock an upper body that girls loose their shit over.

You can have a preference of shirt tastes, but I think you should refrain from misusing the word beta in this context. Beta isn't an insult, and shouldn't be used like one here.

The biggest TRP of all... Multiculturism has never worked and will never work. Only one race of people has ever built a working society. In 6 words, Whites build, Asians maintain, blacks destroy.
Sir_Distic 7y ago
Ever heard of the Egyptians? They did ok. Romans too. Mongolians did alright for themselves.
None of those are whites.
Captain_Self_Promotr 7y ago
Ok so a point by point breakdown of your examples...
Ancient Egypt - Pyramids are the greatest and earliest examples of human engineering. Modern day Egypt is a shithole. What explains this in-congruence? Well, DNA analysis is currently providing more evidence that the pharoah's of Egypt have European origin. King Tut + many more had red hair. Some of the Pharoah's have more than 50% of their DNA in common with modern day Brits and <1% in common with modern day Egyptians. So the rulers of the Great Egyptian Empire are not the same people that lives in Egypt now (makes sense, amirit). So that means at some point foreigners came to Egypt and it's since been the shithole it is now for the past 10,000+ years.
Romans - Ancient Rome was the second great example of human civilization after ancient Egypt. Italy today is an OK country, but most would agree, it isn't the same world beating power it once was 2000 years ago. What went wrong? Some scholars blame lead piping tainting the water supply, others blame removing the requirement of military service to become a Roman Citizen, others blame constant attacks by the barbarian (Germanic tribes) - ha, I laugh at the last PC bullshit excuse. A constant influx of low productive immigrants screwed Rome and their descendants and you can see the impact of those immigrants in modern day Italians. Southern Italians to this day carry are considered the "nogs of Europe", the racist implication is that they are lazy, fornicating, violent. Italian skin color (especially in the south) is a shade darker than the rest of Europe.
Mongolians - I am unaware of any great Mongolian civilization. Mongolians were great at fighting and fucking, two attributes not conducive to building great civs. The two European countries with the most residual influence from the Mongolians invasions into Europe are Finland and Hungary; neither country is a bastion of low crime, high productivity that marks a functional civ.
If anyone can add something to these points, I'd happily listen.

randomoaf 7y ago
A competitive video game can push you to the limit to self improve. Going in depth to the heart of the issue and solving complex problems. Putting in the practice necessary to flawlessly execute. Competing against others who are putting in just as much as you are. All of these things can be carried over to anything you want to do in life.
I'm former FGC and it was said back then that fg players were always a step above everyone else and it was true. We took everything to a high level b/c it was in our nature.
tekn0_ 7y ago
Except the improvements are not immediate or time well spent. If you put the time into the gym you build your own body. If you put the time into reading a good book, your mind is improved. If you put the time into an actual skill-set, you can actually make good money and accomplish your goals. What kind of a goal can you achieve with video games, other than relaxing for 15 minutes?

Video games are ultimately useless and further you in no useful ways.
TedTheAtheist 7y ago

NPK5667 7y ago
Not in the way 99.999999999% of people use them, so my point stands.
TedTheAtheist 7y ago
No, your point doesn't stand. By default most people get the benefits of gaming... and those who game regularly ALWAYS get the benefits.
NPK5667 7y ago
No, they dont, because while your sitting there twiddling your thumbs, there literally thousands of more useful things you could be doing to improve yourself. Video games wont get you there, but keep playin them, see how much they "benefit" you.....lol.
TedTheAtheist 7y ago
They do benefit you. If you continue to not do your homework and insist that they do nothing, that's you being willfully ignorant. That doesn't mean you are right in your awful conclusion.
NPK5667 7y ago
Youre definitely in the minority with that perspective
TedTheAtheist 7y ago
Well, as people learn more they agree with me. That will change.
MazeMouse 7y ago
NO, gamification is helpful (to a point)
Video games themselves add barely anything beyond relaxation. And this is coming from a person who would still describe himself as a hardcore gamer with multiple hours of gaming a day.
TedTheAtheist 7y ago
Very not true. It's a great learning tool. They use it in schools as well.
Just because you game doesn't mean you are correct in your conclusion.
MazeMouse 7y ago
In schools they are starting to use gamification which can be in the shape of a videogame but doesn't have to be.
Videogames are a vessel to deliver something the same way a book or tv show can be. And the same as books and tv shows, videogames can be shallow relaxation devices or learning tools.
So a blanket statement about the usefulness of videogames as a whole is a fallacy. Which I just did myself as well. "Conventional (AAA) videogames add barely anything beyond relaxation" would be a better (and still easily undermined) statement.
TedTheAtheist 7y ago
But it is and will be because it's engaging and productive. Helps them learn better. It's really, really good.
No, not "the same way". It's more interactive, which means it keeps the people engaged and learning more.
Did you just say books are "shallow relaxation devices"? Really? Dude, you're way off base.
MazeMouse 7y ago
No actually there is multiple ways to use gamification (I actually helped develop several methods at local schools) without ever resorting to technology beyond cardboard and without them actually playing games (Self correction: we turned the entire course into a game so in essence they are playing a game but not a videogame). But you are right in how the different forms of engaging are helping students learn easier and retain the information better. As well as getting them way more motivated. I would go as far as to say that standardized testing is on its way out if current trends keep developing as they are.
If you're interested I can elaborate on this in PM because I feel that would go way too far off-topic to post here. :)
Yeah, but I was using the "vessel to deliver <x>" analogy. Of course there are differences, most importantly the interactivity, but as a whole in their essence they are tools to deliver "something" to the reader/watcher/player.
Yeah, because there are books out there that offer absolutely nothing beyond something simple that does nothing beyond entertain the reader without a goal beyond that. I wouldn't call a book like say "Everything is going to kill everybody" very informative beyond laughing at hypothetical ways we're all going to die. So it's shallow, and obviously designed to entertain the reader without actively engaging them in real thinking. IE: A shallow relaxtion device. It entertained me for the 2 hours or so it took me to go through the 250ish pages it has. Nothing wrong with some mindless entertainment to wind down at the end of a busy day.
Now take all the books there are about game design, interaction design, management, music theory, cooking, quantum theory, particle physics, etc. Those are books with the pure intent to at least provide the information to the reader how to do or apply certain concepts. Those books are anything but "shallow relaxation devices".
Not all books/tvshows/movies/videogames/media-as-a-whole are created as equals :)
TedTheAtheist 7y ago
First we have to figure out why we want to stray away from actual video games. Sure, I wouldn't mind hearing what you have to say, but why are you against video games so that you feel you need to do that...?
Arguments can be made where simply having entertainment in itself improves one's well-being and thus their lives. However, we know that there are even more to be gained from books and video games which help others even more than that.
MazeMouse 7y ago
I'm not against (video)games. They are a fascinating and great medium. I love playing games and gamification is a part-time job for me. Videogames are however not the best medium ("tool" if you will) in all situations for all purposes. And can, in fact, be detrimental to the goal you wish to achieve in certain situations.
In this specific example we were designing for an english language class which had no (or limited) computers available during the class itself. So videogames were out of the question from the word go and not something we were against in principle.
EDIT add: Videogames as a sole medium to learn can cause concentration issues. It's unclear as of yet wether it's from wrong game-design or from the actual act of playing a videogame style learning-tool. That's why videogames tend to still be shunned from a lot of more traditional learning environments on principle.
And you would be very correct. I never said entertainment is bad. Mental health is very important, and as long as it's not used as something to ignore very real problems playing a video game isn't better or worse than riding a motorcycle, playing a guitar, making a painting, shooting a bow/gun at a target or whatever you would do to wind down as far as mental health/well-being is concerned.
It only becomes an issue when you do it as an escape mechanism to get away from your problems. Which is, as far as I can see, is where the TRP hate against videogames tend to come from. Those neckbearded fat guys and triple chinned kawaii girls who live in their parents basement (or attic) who play videogames to avoid any and all responsibility for their current situation. Sometimes even forgoing the basics like personal hygiene, cleaning the house, cooking proper food and studying.
Then again, when you're that into "something" it no longer matters what that "something" is. You're overdoing it and have a (mental) issue you need to address.
TedTheAtheist 7y ago
I never said they were, and I'm sure a debate could be had on your assertion of that. However, I merely asserted that they are great for learning and recreation.
Unless your problems reside in your head, like not enough entertainment or social interactions, which video games would assist with.
Then it would be very helpful.
Sure, not paying your bills wouldn't be cured by playing video games unless you get money from doing such, so it all depends on the problem. However, none of this takes away from my original assertion that video games are good.
If that is true, then they should specify that. However, why bother, since over-indulgence in anything is apparently bad, so then they might as well say they are against... everything?
MazeMouse 7y ago
They are great for learning in the right setting with the right dosage and for certain subjects. ;) (now I'm just quantifying for the hell of it)
If that's your problem videogames alone aren't going to fix it and might even cause more issues if it's the only thing used. (again, quantifying for the hell of it :P)
Again, the blanket statement videogames are good isn't something I would support without the quantifiers and context of a situation. Just as I won't every say something like all videogames are bad.
Just as I won't ever use the AWALT thingy TRP seems to love. It's all about the context and quantifiers surrounding a certain situation. (I tend to dislike absolutisms like "all X are Y") AWALT just sounds better than "In certain situations provided with certain incentives and interactions females are inclined to display certain behavioral responses".
Well, usually when I see people debating the cons of gaming all of those cons are related to over-indulgence. I agree they should simply state that but people in general tend to love their absolutisms. In that sense a lot of TRP isn't far off from fanboyisms and religion. Which isn't far off from basic human behavior and TRP is preaching basic human behavior so we're par for the course. :D

Please explain why subs like SRS don't get banned despite brigading? The subs which lobby hardest for others to get banned are usually some of the worst rule-breakers on reddit. There is a clear political bias on reddit, this is fact.
The reason TRP hasn't fallen is precisely because we encourage individualism, and mods have taken numerous steps to discourage acts like harassing outside-users or brigading. Why do you think you're required to use Archive sites instead of direct-linking to other subs?
