The Danger in Being Red-pilled

Bill Maher had meme expert Aiden Walker explain:

The 14:06 red pill. So the red pill is a meme that emerges from the matrix which is from the '9s, 14:12 right? Um and that movie, you know, you offer the blue pill and the red pill and Keer Reeves takes the red pill to break out 14:19 of his re. What does it mean today when people see it? It means so what it means is if you take the red 14:24 pill then you've broken out of what they call kind of the oppressive reality of like you know mainstream society

It is not that complicated, but a lot of particles have been warning of the dangers of the red pill. Parents magazine writes:

“The term is frequently used within online communities and subcultures, particularly those associated with men's rights, ‘incel’ (involuntarily celebite) ideology, and white supremacy,” says Dr. Poncin. “This includes…adhering to heteronormative gender roles with ‘gender-typical roles’ for each.”

Redpill communities are explicitly sexist

Oftentimes, young men who join redpill communities on spaces like Reddit are exposed to misogynistic ideas, because a main tenet of the redpill belief system is that men are disenfranchised in a society that they feel favors women.

It then advises parents to be on the lookout for a son learning about the red pill, and:

Young men will need extra guidance from their parents and potentially a mental health professional if they become entrenched in online redpill forums

Similar articles were in USA Today and a mommy site.

This is crazy paranoid. Those red-pill site are primarily concerned with studying human nature, and presenting facts and evidence. Sure, some of it is anecdotal, but it is not inherently misogonystic. Women are also red-pilled. You do not send your child to a shrink just because he learns the truth about something. Later on, Maher said:

Post hoc ergo propter hoc.

Glad to see a logic point explained.

These articles try to ostracize incels:

The Rise of Incels and the Real-World Violence It Fuels

A particularly dangerous corner of the Manosphere is the incel community. Incel is short for “involuntary celibate.” These are mostly young men who feel rejected, resentful, and entitled to sex and relationships. Incel ideology often blames women for male suffering, dehumanizes them, and glorifies violence as a form of revenge or reclamation of power.

Yes, incels feel rejected because they are rejected. But they are no more violent that anyone else, and attacking them like this is cruel.
