1. I think “red pill” has become a label, like an online tag, that basically lets people of a certain belief system find each other online, even after successive bans on that content on this or that platform. The internet is playing whack-a-mole against “red-pillers” but they keep popping up. I think because once you’re inside the belief system, it’s compelling enough- the sense of truth- that it’s always worth finding again. On that note, its main effect on my personal life is just letting me read content online that doesn’t feel like corporate-sponsored virtue signaling nonsense. Outside of the internet I almost never reference “red pill” in my personal life- doing so would be social suicide.

2. I don’t think it “targets” anyone- it’s just out there for people to find. I think men preferentially gravitate to it, for a multitude of bio-psycho-social reasons

3. I think the worldviews are essentially at odds. I’m not sure if the latest wave (is it still “4th”?) of feminism believes there are zero differences between the sexes still, but I think a significant premise of TRP philosophy is that there are generally innate biological differences between men and women- which show up when you look at the general male population vs the general female population. In terms of population means. As for the difference in the rules between the subreddits, I don’t know, could be a lot of things.

4. See above. Probably subreddits have a fair amount of random mutation in the evolution of their rules. Like others are saying, I don’t know how often, if at all, the gender of the poster matters to red pill types. It’s the ideas that matter

5. I think red pillers would say people like Weinstein, Epstein, and Bill Cosby - people obviously using their power to rape, drug, etc can go directly to jail. I think for a while I worried about a false equivalency between those types of cases and somewhat fuzzier, “well it was a boss making an unwanted advance” cases- but still, those women are certainly allowed to file their claims. I only think the red pill would staunchly oppose the idea that all women (or all people) should be automatically believed immediately, without due process- because people do lie. People lie all the time- even women, even about sexual assault. And accepting those kinds of uncomfortable truths are part of taking the red pill. Get out of the social matrix.

6. Kind of a broad question? Masculinity is something that can be positive within TRP, as can femininity. Probably TRP is more pro-sexual-dimorphism than any other current western “movement” The current collection of red pill related content on the internet probably leans more toward advising males on how to act like males than the reverse, probably because it’s mostly males participating. The notable exception to the idea that it’s both pro- masculine and pro- feminine would be MGTOW, which I’d consider an offshoot of men who feel they cannot trust women anymore. Of course whether they think that’s due to their innate “femininity” or due to current social factors I’m not sure

Have you read the red pill handbook?
