This morning, like every morning, I quickly check the top news stories on the Apple News app just to get a quick rundown of what's going on in the world. To my genuine surprise, this story was #2 on the trending list. I'm going to pull the highlights to show you what outsiders really think what the red pill is:
People of all ages and ethnicities are posting YouTube videos describing “red pill moments”—personal awakenings that have caused them to reject leftist narratives imbibed since childhood from friends, teachers, and the news and entertainment media.
This is in the opening paragraph of the article. The Red Pill is now framed as a general personal awakening of all the bs we've been fed by society since birth, which is closer to the original meaning derived from the movie. So where does this sub come into play?
Not surprisingly, the mainstream media has largely dismissed the red pill phenomenon. Coverage has mainly stressed the connection to men’s rights activists —the Red Pill forum on Reddit and the documentary, “The Red Pill,” are both about men’s rights. This narrow focus, however, misses the larger story.
Bingo. The way outsiders see it, this sub is just a bit part of a larger revolution. Speaking for myself, I will say that reading this sub has spurred me to challenge other ideals I've been carrying around for a very long time, and I've grown as a person because of that. With that said however…
TRP vs The Red Pill
This sub has and hopefully will continue to be one focused on sexual strategy. It's not meant to spur a martyrish societal revolution. It's meant to help you get laid more and learn the hard truths about what comes with that. If that means this sub is seen as a pawn in a larger power struggle game, so be it, that lack of attention probably helps keep this sub alive. However, it's also important to know that we don't have the luxury of being a niche under the radar sub with ~50k subscribers like 2-3 years ago. This sub might reach a quarter of a million subscribers by the end of the year, which is crazy to me. But I will repeat it again, no matter how much newfound popularity this sub might get, and no matter what all these outsiders and new subscribers are looking for, this sub should always remain about sexual strategy. Cheers.

"The Red Pill is now framed as a general personal awakening of all the bs we've been fed by society since birth, which is closer to the original meaning derived from the movie."
The phrase itself was used in a political context way before it was ever used to talk about learning about sexual strategy.
Joey_Lopez 8y ago
That means we have to make sure that we be sure not use any rep pill lingo and make sure that or browsing history stays secret.
askmrcia 8y ago
I saw an article like a month ago that was written on a pretty reputable news site and they were talking about the Red Pill.
The post that they brought up was "how to fuck like a warlord."
That was hands down the funniest thing I've read. Coming from an outsider's perspective, I can just imagine what went through their head when they read that post and wrote about it.
Yea I laughed out loud for nearly ten mins at that article.
But yea, its not mainstream yet though as other's mentioned.

Maybe not entirely mainstream, but the days when any discussion that did not fit the feminist agenda were strictly verboten are clearly numbered.
For instance, that Google engineer a couple of months back who wrote a discussion basically admitting that men and women were different. If you actually read it (rather than reading the reaction to it), there was nothing in there particularly eyebrow-raising. Clearly we're not there yet - he was fired for his trouble - but ten or even five years ago I don't think anyone in Silicon Valley would have even dreamed of publicly admitting to such views, let alone writing them all down and circulating them publicly.
SirKolbath 8y ago
I think the phrase "swallowing the red pill" has become a mainstream metaphor for digesting and accepting an uncomfortable truth. I used it in an essay I wrote a solid five years before I ever heard of TRP. Hell, I used the term in my master's thesis about ISIS social media recruiting strategies, and I'm pretty sure that didn't have a whole lot to do with TRP or Men's Rights.
With a movie as widespread as The Matrix, it's not unusual that such a sharp simile would be used over and over again.

It's mainstream in the sense that anyone with any actual experience with women understands how the game is played.
Whether or not that is "Red Pill" is semantic. Such a guy might not know what "monk mode" is, but he can play with women as easily as you or me. He'd also probably think all this (formal) Red Pill stuff is borderline autistic since he never actually had to quantify the fucking thing like we have here.

It wasn't a criticism. TRP fills a need for its audience.

People severely underestimate normies and cucks. Dem niggas are Woke to every single behavior promoted by TRP that science has vindicated. This shit is built into us. The difference between us and them is that we embrace human nature to much higher, primal degree than they do. They are taught, just like we were, to refuse to do so, because it makes them feel """morally wrong."""
We speak the science out loud, unapologetically... while they choose to either change it or straight up ignore it as you said.
Every single human behavior is as easy to understand and pick up as 2 + 2 = 4 is. TRP has been """mainstream""" since day 1 of our species, hence our millions of years of survival.

This is true. Acting Red Pill is simply living to your chromosome's biomechanic programming. Adhering to Universal Standards and Truth. Everyone is born "Red Pill." Both men and women are born red pill. The only problem is that in today's globalist dystopia, everyone is heavily indoctrinated through every possible thing they indulge in to act and believe that up is down, right is wrong and wrong is right.
In 3rd world countries/tribes where there's no forums, little to no indoctrination, no high iq's etc... TRP is Automatic.
All it takes is a major catastrophe from Mother Nature to remind us all that all this fake bullshit is unnatural and carefully constructed, and that we are still the primal red pill animals we have always been.
SasquatchMcKraken 8y ago
Yes, but you know what they say about houses divided against themselves. I talk to guys all the time who are blue-ish or even purple. They're so close. They'll ask your advice, listen to what you have to say, nod their heads, and then promptly go ahead and get back with their whore ex, or whatever. I think a lot of people here overestimate the Nature aspect of human behavior. The Nurture aspect is pretty damned powerful, and society reinforces it constantly. It's too easy to be Blue in today's world.
GOATmar 8y ago
I encounter more "red pill"-like guys (younger) than I do betas. every girl ive ever spoken to has been through hand full of red pilled guys (that may or may not have been red pilled by the internet). it may be the area, where rap music and thug culture reigns supreme, but there are far more masculine men out there than we account for. the average frustrated chump isnt so average, quite rare to me actually.
this is great btw. this just reinforces it all and forces me to constantly improve in order to stand out above them.
Hillarysdilddo_2016 8y ago
Well most people are weak little bitches that don't have the fortitude to resist stuffing their face with ho hos. So how are they gonna reject the free pussy of a cheating whore?

CanuckinFL 8y ago
Sasquatch you're on to something I think-
Are there really any of us in here that went "wow that's revolutionary?" when reading the sidebar? I realize I'm older than your average poster in here, but I kinda just nodded as I read one topic to the next. It fit. I always kinda knew this stuff. I recognized myself in it and my internal struggle regarding the "be a good guy" routine. Somehow it always smelled of shit to me.
I'm not nice in the least. I got small satisfaction out of being the guy all girls think is nice. Didn't fit.
bsutansalt 8y ago
I saw that same Fox article today. They still got us wrong, but I guess that's besides the point. Hell, even the latest Vice article about toxic subreddits left us off the list, so we must really be going mainstream :)
One thing we'll be announcing soon is a media presence that will allow us to take TRP mainstream while still allowing us to control the narrative. As "red pilling" is happening en mass these days, I want to make sure we get in front of this social phenomenon even more and give people a guiding hand.
We as a community have already taken our lumps, and there's no reason for others to reinvent the wheel so to speak as they become "red pill" and wind up getting attacked for doing so, and then falling back into old patterns of thinking/behavior because society browbeats them into submission. In other words society needs a collective lesson on how to deal with shit tests.
[deleted] 8y ago
Hey, just wanted to let you know that Id love to help program something like a forum for TRP on the uncensorable decentralized ethereum network.
james_the_dean 8y ago
Can I vote no for this idea?
I really don't think it will do us any good in the long run. Anything of high value is also highly nuanced and people will not see the nuance. I don't think TRP ideas are scalable.
Anyone who is ready will find us.
Then again, we've yet to see what are you talking about.
sadomasochrist 8y ago
FYI you are out of your god damn mind if you think you can "control the narrative."
Even on a small scale, what is the outside narrative of the red pill? Just in reddit? Just on your random blog site?
The entire design of media, is to create the message you want to send, and that's what they'll do. There's nothing you can do to stop that, nothing.
The Google example is the PERFECT example of this. Textbook. He basically says "I'm not these things, I don't believe these things" and what was the media coverage?
He is these things, he believes this... he said this.
None of it true. Demonstrable bullshittery.
Basically just be real here, you can't control a narrative, only just keep on keeping on.

If i can wake up tomorrow and every single feminist law is repealled, and tomorrow the "patriarchy" would return in order for normal civilization to function... then yeah, the Red Pill is now mainstream.

yomo86 8y ago
It was only a matter of time when TRP becomes the new edgy thing. You see the influx of nu males here who honestly believe that talking about stoicism and having obscure theories get they laid or make them successful. Almost all questions on askTRP can now be answered with the song of "Lift and Abundance".
The amount of people who really hit rock bottom, or are so self-reflected to question their third-party-prescribed happiness and behavior in this world so they would go against their own grain has not risen imho.
The same happend with the PUA community back in 2007. When high-schoolers and college kids just wanted to get laid and cook it down to the basics the edgy people arrived after Neil Strauss book was turned into a documentary.
So yes, TRP became acknowledged. It is no more dangerous to utter the wish of a traditional family or to vote Republican. The road is paved but it is still rocky enough to claim that you did something outstanding by travelling it. Case in point: the same kind of people who claimed SJWism is pure and cannot do any wrong claim TRP is per se the ultimate truth. You will see converts have the most dogmatic view on the world. I predict threads here where kids will have a cock measuring contents on who is more RP.
eslong 8y ago
Serious trp is unknown in the UK. I mean i come from the 'so suave don juan' days and still have not seen a tremendious move.
I see a lot of young bucks acting out and going through the anger phase, quoting exact things they read on trp and promoting the exact same agendas politically whicb dont even apply over here. But they arent even noticed by the uninitiated.
Trp needs to stay how it is. The core values might promote greater output of human efficiency and better mind sets, but like the stoics of athens or the scientists of the dark ages - our ideas have no place in society and will lead only to persecution.
I know some have ideas of revolution and change or taking back the land from the femenist grasp. But in reality, we will be dead long before any significant change.
Toolman890 8y ago
There are a lot of women now who are trying to profit off of the redpill with their bullshit youtube videos. It's the same typical tactic used even by Fox to fool gullible conservative betas. Just put up a hot girl and have her repeat the same shit as men and she will get more views from idiots.
The powers that be are experts at pulling organised groups apart into little pieces. They will not allow Redpill to stand for traditionalism. They know if enough women are involved it won't stand for anything. So if it becomes mainstream they will ensure that the 'dark side' of the redpill who are not inclusive to women are shamed into oblivion, but they will allow the sexual strategies aspect so that women can continue to use their sexual power to keep men in servitude.
jewishsupremacist88 8y ago
the left went too far, too fast and they've undone about 30 years of work in the matter of about 5 years or so.
IMO, all of this is being done on purpose because the palestinians are making the jew masters of the west nervous

FlamingAmmosexual 8y ago
Is this sub about sexual strategy? I'm not disagreeing but when I came here I didn't see that. What I saw was a group of men that wanted to show other men how to be a better man, or just a man in general, in a gynocentric feminine world. One of the main focuses though is how to get women the right way in this society because what you were told growing up was wrong and filtered through feminism.
Rian_Stone 8y ago
rollo often talked about the message getting co opted. And this is no different.
Everyone wants to make it about something else. Just being able to go fuck a chick is so difficult, guys dress up in suits of armor and go fight LARPING communists to avoid it.
Also, I think he's also lumping in HotepNation with theredpill... funny how anything masculine and 'not us' is just a large glob of assholes
CanuckinFL 8y ago
well it ain't mainstream among my peer group males not by any measurable standard. I think it maybe a bit more mainstream among guys at the gym, but only marginally, (observing fawning behaviors @ the hotties). I have dozens of friends who would drop everything and run the moment their girlfriend or wife call. And i was that guy until 2 or so years ago.
You really have to hit a serious bottom to ingest RP truths. And even then, it's a hard pill to swallow. I don't think it's mainstream yet-
xeneize93 8y ago
Yeah I feel the same...the red pill will never become mainstream cause pussy power is real and there are too many cucks out there bending for a girl even if the girl is fugly, too many guys that can't say no to a girl and it take true heartbreak to really swallow the pill
SasquatchMcKraken 8y ago
Nope, it most certainly isn't. The minority is definitely growing but the majority of dudes are still varying shades of blue. Even many guys who have success in this field don't know the process of why, which just sets them up for instant betafication once they find their unicorn and get married.
trainzje 8y ago
No I don't. Yes, you may have needed that but that's not the case for everybody.

Trump being elected was the result of "red pill" thinking by people who have no idea what the "red pill" is.
People are increasingly disillusioned with society/the media and are acting out.
sadomasochrist 8y ago
Not really, it will go down in history as a "protest vote." That's what it was.
CanuckinFL 8y ago
Honestly that has absolutely nothing to do with Red Pill thinking to my mind other than a sad place to park my identity. I'm above these dumb political stereotypes, but I sure as fuck am reembracing some sexual ones.
The Democrats use certain social concerns to get elected. Team A
The Republicans use certain social concerns to get elected. Team 1
My concerns may parallel society's to one degree or another. But we are not a nation of philosopher kings so I don't embrace calling each other names so we sell product and tv time. Frankly, most people don't have enough historical insight, not cause they're dumb but cause they don't read- to qualify to vote in your local dog catcher.
E.g. Voting in tweeting.
Not only am I here to break free from that kind of thinking, I'm here to excel.
Shoot, look at the time. Works done- time to lift.
dumnem 8y ago
They may share the same name, but the Red Pill and TRP are really different pills all together, the former refers to the political aspect, and 'waking up' from an illusion painted by corruption and complicit media only interested in self gain instead of the truth.
As for TRP, it's more about a sexual strategy and a blueprint for self improvement. TRP is pretty much proven to improve happiness, reduce depression, increase confidence, etc. Red Pill in a political aspect is much more of a macro game than anything else, and requires a lot more awareness to accomplish anything, where as TRP all you really need is a willingness to get off your ass and improve yourself in some way.
[deleted] 8y ago
To be honest the bigger Red Pill is political: the rejection of decades of liberal, feminist, progressive, humanist ideology.
The "sexual strategy" is a tiny and really relatively insignificant aspect of the larger Red Piling that's taking place in Western society.
Disciple_of_Libertas 8y ago
Sexual strategy is probably the most important aspect of it all I would argue. Everything comes down to sex.
fingerthemoon 8y ago
You are 100% completely correct. A true red pill lense is seeing how sexual strategy underlies everything we do. Afterall, everything we are is rooted in biological evolution which is facilitated through sexual reproduction. Sexual selection is even more powerful than natural selection, of coarse they both interact with each other.
[deleted] 8y ago

How can you be a liberal and red pill? That's an oxymoron
xeneize93 8y ago
What? Being red pilled doesn't mean you have to be republican...most guys are red pilled because of past experiences with women, that has NOTHING to do with politics
dontgiveupcarib 8y ago
Non liberal =/= republican.
Liberals believe in grand delusions, anti male policies, marxism and feminist bullshit and they enforce those delusions through the state. I'm not sure how you deal with the immense cognitive dissonance in your head.
jewishsupremacist88 8y ago
the left today is where the right was in the early 90s - drunk on their own success and out of touch.
Disciple_of_Libertas 8y ago
If you mean classical liberal, then we're on the same boat. However, the commenter you've replied probably just means leftist/Marxist/progressive on the "liberal" spectrum.
xeneize93 8y ago
I mean I'm against guns, at least civilians using automatic guns. I believe climate change is real and people arguing against it are dumb, I'm for abortion, I think old people making decisions for women or people in general is wrong specially since they'll be dead soon and their decisions won't affect them. Politics has nothing to do TRP cause women are all the same deep deep inside and no matter what your point of view is we all agree AWALT
IntravenousAsana 8y ago
There are plenty of younger women who don't agree with abortion. You've taken the red pill to see how women are, but you're still gobbling blue pills dispensed by the media: "stupid old people" is a frequent retort of theirs. It's almost as naive as saying that old white republicans control the world & that's why it's so shitty. Narrative's gotta keep narrating, I suppose
xeneize93 8y ago
I'm not gobbling any blue pill. Its all based on morals. I personally wouldn't abort but I am pro abortion, People should have the choice to decide for themselves and not have that decision made for them. Yeah I do think those old men are dumb, And I know for a fact if decisions were made objectively and going by facts we would be doing a whole lot better whatever we're on the wrong subreddit for this lol
Disciple_of_Libertas 8y ago
You're more of a Social Liberal. I'm against big government, and definitely for guns (because I do not trust the government not to abuse me). We can agree on stupid old people though, usually very out of touch. All that is an aside though. I'm here for sexual strategy first and foremost.
Ganaria_Gente 8y ago

Why does TRP have such a hard-on for the right? I'd consider myself pretty far left leaning on the political spectrum.
[deleted] 8y ago
The bright light attracts flies. TRP isn't about electoral politics, nor is it about any one country. But the guys who dream about sucking Trump's cock think that putting on a red ball cap and ranting about Mexicans makes them "redpill". TRP isn't about race, yet every so often some moron will go off about Jews or blacks or start posting stormfront nonsense.
TRP is supposed to be about reality as it really is. But every so often some tinfoil hat wearer will spout off about some non-existent global conspiracy or media conspiracy.
These are the flies. Flies flock to bright lights; they also flock to shit. Just because you see flies doesn't tell you whether it's a bright light or a steaming pile of shit. Sometimes the flies from shitpiles like stormfront or breitbart will try to bring their shit here.
pentakiller19 8y ago
I think this is the best answer.
Mefic_vest 8y ago
This is an exquisite response. I am a traditional Liberal myself (with strong Social Democrat and Libertarian leanings… ya, it’s hard to explain), and yet I see nothing “left” or “right” in the overall Red Pill philosophy. Yes, some content can get misogynistic, or be coloured by frustration and anger. But political? Nah. It’s a basic examination and recognition of reality, and how the sexual marketplace works.
MrTrizzles 8y ago
IME conservatives get laid at a lower rate than liberals.

I'm pretty sure a recent survey showed conservatives get more sex than liberals. And that was before the recent 'I can't stop sleeping with Trump supporters' article.
I mean, really, who do you think wants to screw Trigglypuff?
SirKolbath 8y ago
Because it is science based and practical, and nothing on the left is either one. Leftism is based on socialism, and socialism has been empirically demonstrated to fail each and every time it has been tried, with death tolls in the millions as a cost of attempting it.

I'm not going to debate this here with you. It isn't the place, but you have a considerable amount of research to do on the subject of climate change. As a nonfiction author with a master's degree, I assure you that I have done so, and you clearly have not.
Allow me to only say, "The party that says there are forty seven genders and a child with its own DNA is a part of the woman's body and can be terminated at any time is science based... No."
[deleted]
[deleted] 8y ago
it's not a hard on for the right. it's simply anti-left. progressives/feminists actively seek subservience of men (especially white men) through feminism and cultural marxism.
also, "the red pill" is the metaphor for seeing the bitter truth of reality, backed by science and data, no matter how unlikable it is. progressives perpetuate utter delusion like:
the left bitches about the right being anti-science when it comes to climate change, but the left is anti-science on other issues.
pentakiller19 8y ago
Instead of perpetuating those ideas I think the left just tolerates them. The right hates and actively oppresses anything that isn't rich, white, and male. So a bunch "gender-nonconforming" people are unlikely to support people that hate them. Whereas the left doesn't support them, but recognizes they are people and entitled to fair treatment. I think all this gender stuff is stupid too, but I don't think people should be treated badly for it.
[deleted] 8y ago
what? it's on their fucking campaign platform.
this is pure gaslighting. fake news. not even close to reality. the right simply gives no fucks about your race/gender. what reality are you living in? it's not the same one as everyone else.
hell, with kid rock saying he's looking into running for senate, they've been in overdrive trying to paint him as a racist... he's had black groupies for decades, left pamela anderson for his baby-mama who is black, and he has a black son. also received an award from the NAACP.
pentakiller19 8y ago
You are right. The right does not give a fuck. Which is why they go out of the way to oppress anyone that isn't like them, because they don't care about anyone that isn't rich white and male. You need only look at their policy to see the truth. You're the only delusional one here.
[deleted] 8y ago
again, pure gaslighting. race/gender agnosticism is objectively better than your shitty leftist affirmative action programs. hell, stanford found that affirmative action is racist against blacks:
you know the fearless girl statue in NYC facing the wall street bull? it's a marketing tool for the SHE index fund, which favors companies which have higher female representation on their boards. it was performing so badly vs the S&P500 that the fund managers worried they were going to get sued for malpractice... so they rebalanced and now just follow the S&P500. again, affirmative action is objectively worse than race/gender blind performance decisions.
the only ones oppressing minorities are democrats:
pentakiller19 8y ago
How is making legislation that actively discriminates and hinders another group anything but racist? If affirmative action was removed white people would be out of jobs as well. When colleges removed it guess what group became 90% of the population, Asians. You obviously don't understand why affirmative action is needed.
[deleted] 8y ago
and if asians are doing better, then asians deserve the damn job or university seat. you're saying that even though they're objectively more qualified, they don't deserve it because of their race. you're racist as fuck.
pentakiller19 8y ago
I literally never said that. Your autism must be making it hard to read.

I wrote an blog post last year about the Red Pill and Liberalism, if you google "red pill liberalism" or "red pill liberal" it's like the 2nd or 3rd hit. I haven't written anything on there the last 6 months cause I have been super busy with this start-up.
Interestingly, I am getting a 10-fold spike in my normal daily traffic right now. All of it is from people google searching, probably after they read that article. I imagine the same spike is happening here.

Of course. We're Red Pill because we can't get laid. I've had that thrown at me so many times that, if I had a nickel for each one, I'd have $1.32. (One guy said I could probably only get hand jobs from fat girls.)
[deleted] 8y ago
i've never heard of or seen an incel swallowing the red pill. it's always a guy getting fucked over and betrayed by his girlfriend/wife and this time (because it's never just once), it was bad enough that he looked into getting help.
nazis_are_socialists 8y ago
TRP is not about men's rights. Men's rights activists are collectivists who are just as bad as feminists. TRP is about how to get laid. Period.
buildapineapple 8y ago
I always saw TRP as a philosophy to better yourself as a man.
hullaballooza 8y ago
What's the difference? Want to get laid, then better yourself. Better yourself, then you get laid. I never understood the discussion about the two phenomena being independent.
buildapineapple 8y ago
You're beating a dead horse bud, I already came to that conclusion.
nazis_are_socialists 8y ago
Read the sidebar. The introduction says TRP is discussion of sexual strategy. Bettering yourself as a man is just one part of that strategy.
[deleted]
SirKolbath 8y ago
You know the word "sexual" also means "pertaining to a particular gender", right? It doesn't have to mean exclusively bang-shang-alang.
I feel that you have this exactly reversed. TRP is about bettering yourself as a man, and one aspect of that is increasing your ability to pull ass when you choose it.

That's not what it means in this context. That's what the MGTOW sub is for. You obviously haven't spent any time reading the sidebar at all, so maybe you're better off heading over to that sub and staying there.

I think I'm better off just blocking you, since you not only don't understand contextual writing and don't understand the use of the sub, but you think trying to start a flame war is the right way to approach me here.
Maybe if you spent less time at the Purple Pill subreddit (or stayed there), you'd learn what this sub is for. Bye, now.

TRP is sexual strat. You won't find any "self improvement" links in the sidebar. TRP veers into self improvement often because the guys who can't get laid usually also need to get their life straight.

The fact that they in the media try and stress a connection with the MRM as if the MRM is a bad thing shows how off base they are.
I do think TRP and MR is connected, and maybe should try reconciling somewhat. Both have evolved a lot in past 4 years since the falling out, and while there would still be differences, overall they're much closer together that anything on the SJW side.
Something I read here critical of the MRM is how we try and tone our language to be more accessible and "PC." I have to disagree with TRP stance against that- the MRM is already very anti-PC as it is to the mainstream media, we just moderate language to make us more accessible and not to make it easy to criticize. Some of the language I see here would make it hard to introduce a skeptical person to the subreddit without them being turned off. I like how the MRM tries to present themselves in a moderate manner, so I can show strangers and ease them into it.

I thought this sub was mostly about self improvement (sexual strategy can be lumped into that) -(._.)/-

And by “sexual strategy”, I hope you include recognition of manipulative hypergamy and avoidance of toxic femininity along with the usual PUA strategies.
MGTOW is every bit of a Red Pill subgroup as PUA is; we have just chosen the avoidance strategy instead, because we are no longer willing to put up with shit just to get a little tail. To us, the juice is no longer worth the squeeze. We have better things to do than waste our time on women who don’t deserve our investments and won’t reciprocate with equivalent value.
