  So as I said, as long as it doesn't translate to misogyny it won't hurt anyone.

    The term is connected to misogyny. If someone just wants to give up dating and that’s the end of it, there’s no reason for anyone to be ticked off by that idea. It’s the doomer attitude surrounding it and the effects of it that cause problems. You used the term ‘black pill’, which has specific connotations - it’s not simply choosing to give up dating.

    I don’t know… but what that previous comment describes, sounds to me as if misogyny is the core concept

    I want to set aside my skepticism that this philosophy can be separated from misogyny.

    Even if it could, it hurts the practitioner. This is a philosophy of nihilistic abandon and self-harm. If someone has adopted a radical belief in their own hopelessness and worthlessness, and the associated beliefs that life for them can hold nothing but suffering, that person is in crisis and needs help. There isn’t a healthy version of that, and we should consider those people at great risk and in need of assistance.

    It does hurt someone. It hurts the person who is adopting these views.

    To be frank what youre suggesting is only taking certain elements from the ideology but not some of the largest core concepts. So there’s nothing wrong with that in concept but at that point it’s a different ideology and as such you’d no longer be “blackpilled”
