you had no argument against.
I had plenty of arguments against him, though it usually felt like a lonely fight.
In particular, his MO of ruthless personal attacks against anyone he considered Outgroup. This may come off like confidence to the ingroup, but to anyone with no buy-in as yet to our ideas, it gets interpreted as needless abrasiveness and aggression. I still consider HIM the biggest single factor in Reddit quarantining TRP, an obvious risk that was not his alone to push, and a loss of a huge free platform that was not his alone to suffer.
One thing that I will say in his favor today: I used to give him shit for overuse of the term Hegelian dialectic. Having read a lot more about philosophy since then, I understand his point and its relevance better. Though this does highlight his tendency to use his knowledge not to elevate even those within his ingroup, but as a cudgel.
Read MoreI remember it showing up on the Reddit front page (r/all) from time to time, and sort of blowing my mind every time. After reading a few of those, I was pretty much sold. It was like discovering a missing puzzle piece.
I used to argue with feminists online at the time. And one of the first things I took away from TRP was, firstly, how gay of a thing that is to do, and, secondly, how pointless it is to engage in argument against what's essentially just the political branch of female primitive nature.
According to ChatGPT, TheRedPill stopped showing up on r/all some time in 2015 due to algorithm changes, before getting quarantined in 2018. So it must've been sometime between 2012 and 2015.
where a PhD gay activist was explaining how heterosexuals are the ones who are deranged, because homo- or amphi-sexuality is the normal and heterosexuals are in denial.
This is a fringe position, that would only arise, much less garner widespread acceptance, within a cloistered subculture.
It's easily called into question by stepping into any bar, club, etc filled with a large unfiltered cross section of the general population.
@Stigma the comment addresses the TRP group in the present day context, not the you of 2015.
they can't not take things personally
And some of them respond by becoming apex bitches. It's a successful strategy in the short term. But it is also why women in management are desperate to monkey branch to the next upwards or lateral position. The clock is always ticking for them.
@redpillschool I can tell the very moment it became mainstream thinking--when GLO started attacking everyone. He was no longer the evil that lurked in the night, but the annoying uncle that you had no argument against.

@redpillschool I don't like the guy at all for what he put Rollo through, but that's really fucked up.
I did not mind being the only male in a female dominant industry. I got away with shit the women couldn't, simply because I had a penis and was good at my job. There were a few girls who could run circles around me on the floor.
Still what you say is true, emotions dictated the work place. There where clicks and certain girls would be upset if they weren't invited to outside of work activities.
Actually there's one women I semi admire for her work ethic that came from there. Watching her work, not a single wasted effort or movement.
Then there is one woman I consider a friend I found through that job. A few years older than me but no sexual tension from either of us. I hang out with her husband on my own now two. It's very rare to find a female I actually enjoy spending time with, who I'm simultaneously not fucking.
Read MoreWould be interesting to see a "history of TRP" post written up at some point.
Rian Stone has gone into it in his YouTube channel a few times, and not just about the TRP subreddit, but also MRP and the pre-reddit blogs.
Some of his memories are different from mine, regarding the blogs. To make things worse, a lot of the original stuff is gone now, making it impossible to check.
@WarnerBro a career criminal bit it because of overdosing
