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.
