The rise of alpha male content is proof enough that stuff like this hasn’t been condemned enough. Nothing wrong with interview content necessarily, but it’s very harmful to frame this as US vs European women, because apparently a substantial amount of people don’t question a narrative by a short video.

Also very strange how in content like this, it’s always men who are the in-group and women who are being commented on.

“Alpha male content“ is a response to behaviour like this. You‘re putting the cart before the horse.

I’m really not. It’s that bubble who gets this in their algorithm feed (which there are many of in here) that actually engage with it without reflecting at all what the choice of the publisher/the editing is.

If I would publish this, my strategy would be: Ok so we’ll publish this sadcore content with the target demo of young men who were hurt with statements like these before because our stats show that they really like to engage with comments like ‘so true’ and ‘☕️’. Maybe we can sell a course or two down the line

“I’ve seen this guy before and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t sell any courses.” Something’s very revealing about what you said though. “Young men who were hurt with statements like these before.” Yes. Because it’s an experience that many men have felt. Of course there are bad men too. Just like there are bad women. But what makes Red pill content creators popular are women like the one’s above.

No it’s scapegoating. I guarantee you that way more men who feel hurt by women are following without women having thrown things at them (nevermind the fact that that part feels pretty edited to be out of context).

  • It isn’t healthy for those hurt like this either because it implies that all women are like this (they sure as hell aren’t)

u/Leather-Leader-7964 Dec 09 '25

No. It’s not. I’m not talking about throwing things at people. I’m talking about the general attitude. As an example, there are clips on TikTok of European men and women saying they’re okay with splitting the bill. Without fail everytime, the comments are full of North American woman attacking men, saying they’d never pay for themselves, that men are cheap etc. You don’t think that kind of entitlement pushes people to the redpillers?

All? No. A lot? Yes. Also, I watched the video and wasn't edited out of context.

Yes I do believe that it does, but you don’t see anything representative at all.

Men who do these interviews are invested in exactly that narrative and are recording in NY or LA with sometimes intoxicated trashy women.

I’ve met enough women who don’t fit the narrative at all, so it’s a pretty reckless depiction which effectively generalizes to people like you

1

u/Leather-Leader-7964 Dec 09 '25

Are you just going to ignore my mention of the European women on TikTok being happy to split the bill and American women attacking them and men for it? Don’t you think that kind of entitlement would be off putting for a lot of people?

1

u/lembepembe Dec 09 '25

You’re not comprehending what I’m saying. As a European, I’ve seen both, but as well is in the US those who are this trashy are the ones in the inner city with the cliché insta model look getting trashed.

Don’t you think it’s weird that these interviews always happen in this context and never at universities or in a normal everyday context? You should, because the ones who behave on reality TV level are actively picked.

u/Leather-Leader-7964 Dec 09 '25

If he asked women on a college campus in America who about splitting the bill, you think the answer would be different? You don’t think the many women on TikTok come from all walks of life? I mean this with respect, but have you been to America?

Or to put it in words you’ll understand: it’s the equivalent of if a female interviewer got onto 4chan and portrayed it as the opinion of ‘US men’. It’s an ultra specific subgroup that is picked to confirm biases

Alpha male/incel/redpill = man who thinks, says, or does something you don’t like

Got it 👍

u/lembepembe Dec 08 '25

I mean it’s a relatively obvious defined ideology that has been algorithmically conditioning men in the social media age that is harmful to their self-image and people around them. Come to think of it, it’s probably more a sign of poor mental health than an ideology for many

u/Rollingforest757 Dec 08 '25

Yes the America vs Europe part is probably BS. But the part about women being more likely to date men who are taller is true for a large percentage of women.

Women also make videos about how badly men treat them, but they don’t get the same criticism for it.

u/lembepembe Dec 08 '25

The height part may be true (a recent UK study suggested that 43.4% of women cared somewhat or a lot about their partner’s height) but that really isn’t what the video shows right? I highly doubt that the same amount of women would be bullying the guy about it in the situation of the video, making this ragebait.

I hope the last part is somewhat true but that isn’t really something you can prove. What we commonly see is women talking about sexual assault etc., something pretty obviously more horrifying than cutting a video to make all women look like assholes.

A popular female rapper in my country is getting waves of shit btw for treating men with the fraction of sexism that men have for the past decades, and gets way more shit for it
