> the core, steelmanned concept of "The Red Pill"
oh jesus
> female love style is by default less romantic and more opportunistic/performance-based
well guy, if this is the "steelmanned" version, I really don't want to see the *normal* version...
It's the "cock carousel" thing, where women allegedly have sex with tons of Alpha Males™ while they're young, before settling with a Beta Male™ later. And then dumping them and suing them for child support, or something.
I didn't know it was possible for redpill-adjacent ideologies to get more bitter and toxic, but incels seem to have managed to achieve that.
This remind me of when Scott published Ozy Frantz’s “Anti”-Redpill
FAQ, that is so “Anti”-Redpill that it is “taken from the POV that game
tactics all work exactly as stated by their advocates”.

(Don't miss the comments, where Ozy reassure everyone that they do take seriously the hypothesis that Asian beauty standards are different from European beauty standards because of HBD !)
> Okay, I think "leftists are out to kill me" is officially peak scott.
In his defence, remember when leftists sent death threats to Anita Sarkeesian while the manosphere defended her free speech?
In most cases, that's an extra level of burn. I'm not gonna read the whole thing, but it seems this is one of those cases. It is like happily announcing that since the other team is so bad at this game, you won't even bother showing up until half time and they can score as many points as they want.
I'm confused as to why that is a bad approach for an "Anti-Redpill FAQ". Arguing "Even if we assume your practical advice is correct (which we don't have to), your reasoning and conclusions are still wrong!" is much stronger than just arguing "you're wrong".

… this is irony right?
Does “alpha” now mean “commitment phobe”? I’m not all up on my TRP terminology these days.

lmao imagine reading this and thinking that Scott is defending redpill ideology
How the hell did you read it as if he identified as an alpha male?
