Alluding to the symbol of the “red pill” from the film The Matrix, r/TheRedPill promotes misogyny, hegemonic masculinity, and traditional gender roles. The Southern Poverty Law Center describes it as one of several male supremacist subreddits featuring xenophobic discourse. It has been associated with several right-wing movements and the alt-right because of its attacks on feminism and mockery of rape.

    If it does turn out to be of the r/TRP variety, I suggest that the admins turn it over to some moderators that will turn it into a parody community. Something in the vein of Stormfront on Reddit with its storm theme. Maybe photos of literal red pills?

      Haha yep.

      Of course both of you are right tho, we won’t allow any redpill / misogynistic communities here. If that’s the goal we’ll know it very quickly.

    I was worried when I saw the title of this community, but then I saw it was pictures of actual red pills and my blood pressure is low now.
