Consider r/TheRedPill, a particularly active and virulently misogynistic manosphere forum. In 2017, it was revealed that the creator and chief moderator of that forum was none other than Republican New Hampshire state representative Robert Fisher.53 Offline, he was a respected, mainstream politician. Online, he had written that rape wasn’t all bad, because at least the rapist enjoyed it. In another post, he wrote, “Feminists are obsessed with rape because we live in a rape fantasy culture, where feminists wish they were hot enough to be rape-able.”
The red pill being a made-up factor of a plot of sci-fi movies created by transgender siblings will never not make me laugh.
