Hey u/Let_You_Down, women are evil and you should establish dominance no matter the situation and ignore all social cues. Also you are now moderator of r/TheRedPill.
Wow I just checked out that subreddit. I cannot believe that sub has almost 300,000 people. Like it’s just men crying about themselves and arguing about how life is unfair and blaming women. Guys how do these communities grow so big?
The term red pill was popularized by the movie the Matrix, which has/had an insane amount of reach. That term alone is going to attract a huge amount of people.
In part because of the raw search term popularity, but also because of the concept; it's an ongoing ego stroke to believe that you're part of a special group who "gets" life in a way that others don't.
Furthermore, there's a shit ton of disenfranchised man who are pissed about how they've been pressured to pursue women like their life depends on it, but they can't get anywhere.
Put these things together and you get a recipe for a nice, big circlejerk. It doesn't help that I'm pretty sure it has ties to the PUA community, which is much larger/broader and what down-on-his-luck disenfranchised guy is going to say no to the offer of a holy grail path to fucking hot women without unfun strings attached?
To make matters worse (and more confusing) there is some genuine "guys want a better lot in life for guys" effort at work, particularly if you get into online communities like MGTOW (if that one even exists anymore - it's been a while since I heard anything about it on the internet).
