Why is this blog called “The Black Pill”? Originally, it started out as a blog called OmegaVirginRevolt (which is still evident from the URL), but over time it became clear to me that I had gone beyond a blog called “OmegaVirginRevolt”. The name, “OmegaVirginRevolt”, had outlived its usefulness. When I first started writing as OmegaVirginRevolt, I believed that we were on the verge of the Mens’ Rights Movement (MRM) actually begining to rollback feminism. While I think that is still true, it is taking longer than I thought. That was because there was additional threats to the MRM besides the main enemy of feminism/women. Since around 2009 or so, the biggest such threat to the advancement of the MRM has been what I call The Paleo-Game Cult, an intersection of the paleo diet, conspiracy theory, Roissysphere game, and several other things. (This has also led me to investigate more how feminists are interested in game and how it could be used by feminists to block the advancement of the MRM.)
It became clear to me that taking on The Paleo-Game Cult (and other similar threats to the MRM) was the most important thing that can be done right now for the MRM. These groups are trying to attach themselves and take over the MRM for their own purposes which do not benefit men or advance Mens’ Rights. I wanted to name the blog with a concept that would encompass all of this. Paragon came up with the idea of “The Black Pill”. Lots of people like to use the analogy from the Matrix movies of the “blue pill” and the “red pill”. The “blue pill” represents mainstream feminism which is a delusion whereas the “red pill” is supposed to represent the anti-feminist truth. What has happened with the “red pill” is that the concept has been colonized by the Paleo-Game Cult. The “red pill” instead of meaning anti-feminist truth, now means alternate/non-mainstream delusion that still pedestalizes women. It now means non-mainstream feminism of the Paleo-Game Cult form. Just because something isn’t mainstream like the Paleo-Game Cult does not make it truth or anti-feminist. The “red pills” believe incorrectly that they are anti-feminist, and the delusion that feminism can be solved using personal solutions. They believe that using game and the paleo diet they can expel feminism from their lives. This is a delusion. When Paragon came up with the idea of the “black pill”, he recognized the nature of feminism/women being a systemic problem. Systemic problems have no personal solutions. The “black pill” is about that principle and more. It is about reality as it is and facts. It stands in opposition to both mainstream feminist delusions (the “blue pill”) and non-mainstream feminist delusions (the “red pill”). Disagreeing with the mainstream does not automatically make something truth.
For the record, there are those such as A Voice For Men who still use the “red pill” idea. AVFM does not subscribe to the Paleo-Game Cult delusions and is about reality and facts. Even though it calls itself a “red pill” site, AVFM (and many other true MRM sites that call themselves “red pill” sites) are actually “black pill” sites.
The “black pill” represents the main focus of this blog that provides a true anti-feminist option beyond the mainstream and non-mainstream feminist delusions. Since this is my personal blog, it will also include my personal experiences dealing with feminism and any topic I consider to be related.

Hey, are you going to do a piece on the recent obsession of sexbots? Or artificial wombs? As a chick myself, I don’t think this is doing anything for men’s rights. Soon the MRM will become a bunch of mechanophiles.
Please direct us to the specific people in question. If you are new to this blog you will find a great divergence of opinion on what commentators on this blog consider to be “MRM” writers and what gamesphere writers consider “MRM” blogs.
I’ve honestly not seen an “obsession with sexbots” anywhere.
First, of all the manosphere sites that have mentioned sex-bots, they might have like 1 sex-bot post per 1000 other posts.
Secondly, even when sexbots are mentioned, it’s only talked about in the sense that it will be a revolution in diminishing the drive to chase lays for a lot of the male population. Think of it is a fancy sex-toy.
The word “obsession” and “mechanophiles” betrays more about you feel endangered by the idea, than it does about the men writing about the sexbots. Are women who use dildos “plasticophiles”?
I once wrote an article that was like 15 pages long, and it mentioned dozens of things men will use in the future as substitutes for “chasing pussy”, including video games, escorts, sugar babies, sex dolls, fleshlights, deeper male friendships, hobbies… And every single woman who read that freaking article fucking commented on the article being about “sex dolls”. It’s like, the fucking article is like 2% about sex-dolls, but all women critiqued it AS IF it were about sex dolls, and they conveniently left out everything else in the article.
You seem to be doing the same with sex bots.
I think what is going on is that women see sexbots (and to a lesser extent sex dolls) as an existential threat. For whatever reason video games, escorts, going ghost, and whatever else does not register with women at the same level, even though those things are a greater threat to women right now. Sexbots are decades away. I think the reason why women fear sexbots is because they are or are close to being a “woman replacement” at least from the perspective of women. Video games, escorts, going ghost, and the rest can be dealt with via shaming language (and the law where possible in cases like with escorts by making it illegal because “women are exploited”). Sexbots can’t be dealt with in that matter. No man is going to care about anti-sexbot shaming language.
Of course, women don’t realize why men would consider sexbots to be a woman replacement. It’s the same reason that everything else from video games to going ghost is a “woman replacement” to growing numbers of men. I found this guy who talked about how more and more men have no net positive experiences with women. Women are becoming so vile (and literally filthy) that the only thing women offer to men is sex (and babies). For growing numbers of men, that isn’t enough because who wants to have sex with a vile woman covered in dirt. Women are making it easier for everything from video games to sexbots to replace them because those things don’t treat men like crap and they are clean. That’s especially important when it comes to escorts and sexbots. Would you rather have sex with a escort that takes a shower every day or a filthy woman? The answer is obvious to men, but not to women. It’s easier for women to blame the sexbot that won’t be here until 2050 than to examine their own behavior (and hygiene).
Sexbots can actually be an excellent strategy. As you said video games, ghosting, escorts, and ONS are all good examples of things man would rather have then date. Sexbots make a nice strawman argument that women can get all hopping mad over, while the other, more realistic “women replacements” are emphasized.
In essence:
1.) Emphasize sex-bots to create a strawman for women to argue/shame against and divert their attention away from other, more culturally significant strategies.
They can waste their time whining and complaining about sexbots while the real work at getting men to abandon the current dynamic. Essentially, create a nominal head to divert their attention from everything else.
Haha, as if on cue:

See the end of the comment by “Ian Ironwood.”
Will Black Pill do a piece on sexbots? I doubt it; it’s not something he’s talked about on his blog so far. Look to the right at the “Categories” section to see the kinds of subjects that interest him.
Never say never because there might be an angle with sexbots I wish to cover at some point, but you are right. A true “sexbot” is decades away, so it’s not really in my field of vision.
The ironic thing is that to create a sexbot, what is needed among many other things is quite a few advances in computer vision. A sexbot needs to see after all. My career, business, and life’s work outside of rational anti-feminism is computer vision. My work will end up helping to make sexbots a reality.
Maybe I should do a post on the sexbot obsession. It would be interesting to explore why women are so obsessed with something that consists of less than 0.3% of anti-feminist discourse.
Because then discussion can be derailed and they can call people “creepy” to shut down discussion about relevant topics.
I already get called creepy a lot. That’s not going to stop me.
I agree. You don’t see them getting worked up over women and dildos, just over something that threatens the pussy monopoly.

That makes perfect sense to me. Although a girl has never sent an “approach me” signal to me, so I wouldn’t know one if I saw it.
It’s subtle. If I met you in real life and we went put together I’d be able to point out girls who are sending subtle “approach me peterman” signals.
At the same time, this displays how spoiled women are by society. Most women can afford to be super insecure and lazy, to the point where their signals are super-duper-subtle and unclear yet nobody calls them up their social incompetence and lack of flirting skills. It takes two to tango; and women are as much at fault for failed shit, but all the responsibility is put onto men.
If a man can’t communicate interest boldly and confidently and to be direct but not too direct, he ”lacks social skills”…
But if a woman, who likes a guy doesn’t have the confidence to make a wide-open-smile and direct look toward a guy she fancies, nobody calls her “socially incompetent” now do they?
It’s pure bullshit. She can afford these super-subtle signals that allow her to save face and ego. How come we don’t say “women’s fragile ego” like we say “men’s fragile egos”. It’s bullshit.
Amen!
