I'm surprised that most of the manosphere guys were surprised by this. I already mentioned my shock on Twitter, but you guys need to realize that most mainstream entities are not "Red Pill." Playboy has been pro-gay and pro-feminist since day one. I don't think Hefner is like Manboobz or whatever, but he's always advocated women's sexual freedom.
This is just like that whole Tucker Max thing. Yes, these guys might get laid, but they'll pander to women and blather about "strong females" and so forth.
A great example is Neil Strauss. The guy had a whole business built around sleeping with women, but he was also a male feminist.
The RoK article wasn't bad and I'm not trying to belittle it, but dudes need to realize that the sphere is on it's own. It shouldn't shock anyone that Playboy attacked the article.
You're correct. Most mainstream publications and Web sites are not Red Pill at all. I've written for them for over a decade and the only time they get Red Pill is when a writer slips something past the editors or when they feature someone in the role of court jester like Tucker Max.
But we have the most important thing going for us. Biology is Red Pill. Can't escape that.
When the average man's penis remains soft as uncooked noodles for fat chicks and people wonder why that is despite his media training, that's the Red Pill talking.
When a man instinctively winces when a woman admits to having 30 past lovers, that's his inner Red Pill whispering in his ear.
When a man is talking to a woman on a dating site and feels the urge to run when she says she has kids, that's his primal Red Pill taking hold.
Our job -- if we choose to accept it -- is to keep getting the message out there, although we're going to be hit with a lot of emotional debris. Because we are the first group of Red Pill men who refuse to play the part of the court jester or class clown.
And what will happen is that little by little, the men who dissed us as "ignorant" or "backwards" will look us up. That will happen when they get dinged by the single mom, screwed over by the cougar, fucked over by the school system* or family courts, or simply cannot get it up for the fat, tattooed chick, despite society's wishes for them to do so.
It's important that we keep our voices out there so these men can find us. Not to sound like an MRA but statistically speaking, a lot of these men take to ending their lives when they think their is no alternative or hope. We are the alternative or hope.
So look at it this way. To paraphrase from "It's a Wonderful Life," every time you make a Red Pill comment under a Blue Pill article, a Beta gets his manosphere wings.
* One of the more interesting subsets of Red Pill people I'm discovering are mothers with boys in the school system or with grown sons who have been divorced raped. If they've previously been feminist, these women get a rude awakening as to what day-to-day reality is like for men and boys.
Another point I would like to add to Red Pill is the inherent natures of our psychologies - men feel better when they are Alpha and women prefer to submit to a strong Alpha male - it is the whole matter of relationship frame, that is currently spit on. Whole civilizations are indoctrinated to the contrary.
We may have biology and common sense on our side, but most of the manosphere thinks that feminism is just an organic creation that has somehow made its way to reality.
When countless foundation-financed NGOs and the UN and practically all States, media and academia are pushing the agenda of feminism (strong women), promotion of homosexuality etc. then it should be obvious that there is some kind of global agenda by very powerful groups behind it. Even the Islamic world is now rife with feminist, sexual liberation propaganda (see the TV series about the strong wives of this Khalif with plenty of girl-power and even sex).
(BTW - the weakness of the Islamic countries is not caused by rampant patriarchy but by subjugating everything to a religion while restricting science, free enterprise, education and also the freedom of women - the latter part seems like extreme Omega-Mateguarding.)
While some bloggers have recognized that the Apex-Alphas of our society are served well by feminism (doubling of workforce, lowering of wages, destruction of families (thus raised by schools and media), more sluts for easy bangs, effemination of males) there are plenty of dudes who think the manosphere will come out into the full attention of the media and change the world.
No - it won't - the reason for the fast decrease in marriage rates for example in the US in the recent 6 years is mainly weak economics than Red Pill.
There is also another reason why the Apex-Alphas of our society don't want men to become Red Pill - a country consistent of a large population of Alpha males is incredibly hard to control. Propaganda is first aimed at women and their Beta orbiters for a reason. Strong inedependent males are the only group they are afraid of - why are veterans either put into the militarized Police force or classified as potential domestic terrorists? Thus we men need to be effeminized by single mothers, media, academia, drugged at school, put through stupid school systems where you get marks for "good female behavior", belittled and laughed at in commercials and TV-series, put through laughingly easy effeminized college courses and in the end have to compete in a feminized work-force that primarily caters to women.
My tip: Save yourself, tell others, learn Game, make money as independently as possible, fuck as many sluts as you can, maybe have a traditional LTR if possible.
It matters not if Playboy or the James Bond franchise is led by women or men - the global agenda stays the same.
