I found this video on the alternately entertaining and infuriating Blue Pill subreddit, devoted to mocking Red Pill horribleness. In it, a perfectly nice young woman relates a comically terrible date with a dude who’s obviously been reading too many Red Pill/PUA websites.
Ironically, she went out with him because he sent her a note about Taylor Swift. I’m sure he thought it was a super-clever neg. Unaware that she was dealing with a massive shithead, she thought that he, like her, actually liked Taylor Swift. I guess that’s what she gets for not assuming that all guys are shitheads?
If you’re not into watching videos, a Blue Piller gives a detailed rundown of the woman’s story here.
The unfurtunate woman should probably send her douchebag date a link to the video below; I suspect he’d be horrified that some mean person had sullied his precious Nine Inch Nails (because you just know he’s a fan) by mashing up one of their songs with the terrible Taylor.
Oh, and while I’m at it, here’s an amazingly catchy NIN/Carly Rae Jepsen mashup, which I have to say is a massive improvement on the highly overrated NIN original. (Sorry, Dean Esmay, but it had to be said.) I’ve literally listened to it four times while writing/formatting this post.
The
The rationalization hamsters of the YouTube commenters pretending that she was the real problem are spinning fast.
Thank you for the Reddit link! YT creates in me the urge to read the comments and they’re almost always horrific.That poor woman having her time wasted like that. And is NIN an MRA thing now? That would be sad. I loved them in high school and have random nostalgia moments, sometimes. Also, dude seems like the type to hate pop music because it’s pop. Groce.
Sorry for the mispost T_T I meant to say, the YouTube comments are hilarious and depressing. I couldn’t imagine anyone having a beef with her points, yet the comments section was full of Manospherians taking her to task for feeling entitled to be treated like a queen (WTF?) and being a gold-digger (LOLWHUT). Fortunately these commenters had a lot of pushback, but these vocal few sure do post a lot. Seriously, mad props to the young woman for her poise and confidence. I’m, like, oodles older than she is and only recently learning to stand up for myself.
They ruined the reputation of games players and tried to do it to metal as well – Nine Inch Nails would be a small target by comparison D:
Shortly after I met my now-wife I discovered that my favourite band Iron Savior had ruined one of her favourite musicians’ songs, This Flight Tonight by Joni Mitchell. I think it was a great bonding experience for the both of us.
I’m taking gaming back! And metal! And fedoras and trilbies! (Unpopular opinion, I know but I adore them both.)
MRA’s can have propellor beanies and Himalayan salt lamps.
Those are both catchy tunes! As for “red pillers” they are sad creeps, which is not news.
It seems that mashing up NIN with anything is an improvement.
I couldn’t bring myself to read the YouTube comments, but I can imagine it’s the usual assortment of Forever Alone morons who think a woman wanting basic kindness and respect is being a “princess”.
Wow. Just reading red pill tactics sound ridiculous enough, but they sound even worse when they’re actually described being applied.
What do you think the terper said next day after that? About how he got laid on Tinder with some Taylor Swift fan?
“Phone covers are for poor people.” HAHAHA. Oh my God. That is hilarious.
Sad, but hilarious.
I totally disagree with her ‘being treated like a queen’ attitude, but the rest of it seems reasonable. Expecting someone to talk to you, make eye contact with you and not be on his phone or telling you to get him a beer is just basic stuff – that is not princessy attitude.

The Reddit link David provided did have some examples of YouTube comments in it at the end of the story.
You were absolutely correct. Here’s some of them:
“Because being treated with a smidgen of respect and some basic human decency is “sucking up”! How dare you feeeemales ask for such things of us! We shouldn’t have to suck up to you to get laid!
And how dare you be boring! Feeemales are supposed to be entertaining to men at all times!”
“You should have known that rich men are all assholes! It’s all your fault! You just wanted his money!
I treat people good if they treat me good (but women are all bitches so I treat them as such all the time, even if they’re nice to me because OBVIOUSLY they’re just being nice to me for my money)!”
“I didn’t even watch the video, but I know you must have asked for some basic respect and thus, you’re in the wrong because wanting basic respect is the sign of a huge ego and I don’t want to put my wee-wee in you!”
“Of course it wasn’t his fault, he’s rich (and a dude), and therefore he’s awesome! You shouldn’t have asked for respect, and you should have spoken up and interrupted his diatribe about how awesome he is and how he just wants to give you unsolicited advice about your work and how much money you make!”
“I didn’t watch the video either, but a feeeemale made it, so I’m going to assume she banged the guy even though she said he was terrible and she didn’t bother going home with him because he’s rich and all women are gold-diggers.”
____________________________________________________
I kind of want to do a social experiment where a guy relays this exact same story, except it’s about him dating a woman he met on Tinder who bragged about how much money she made and wouldn’t shut up about herself and how she tried to get the guy drunk because he said he was a lightweight.
I already know the results though.
Thank you for introducing me to Amy Young. I kind of love her right now.
I shouldn’t have read the comments on that video though. How can anyone listen to that story and think that she is the reason the date was bad?
They hate women. They feel it’s their duty to have sex with them to prove their masculinity to other dudes. Or something like that.
I found this in the YouTube comments:
How exactly is this proof that nice guys finish last? He was a dick, so she didn’t go home with him and he didn’t get laid!
This kind of logic hurts my brain.
This has nothing to do with red pill.
I love the Johnny Cash cover of Hurt. Watching the video for it, it really seems like he knew he was about to die. It stirs up feels every time I watch it.
I’ll be really upset if NIN has become an MRA thing. I really enjoy NIN and “The Downward Spiral” was my entry into Industrial.
I really want these misogynists out of my video games, out of my historical hats, and out of my music!

She literally says “This guy was a terrifyingly gigantic fucknugget, and women should stop giving guys an incentive for rude behavior by kowtowing to them when they’re assholes because the patriarchy tells you you have to be kind to guys no matter what.” and this guy comes along and says “See? it pays to be a dick!”
I have no words. I sincerely hope someone explained the video to him, because he either didn’t watch it, or he did and obviously missed the point.
I was going to respond, but that comment is 2 months old, so I’m not going to bother.
Perhaps this is more her speed? It certainly does it for me:
Also, those mashups are super catchy. They improve NIN no end.
@ParadoxicalIntention
That is the perfect gif response to that comment. There’s just nothing you can say.
I love that this PUAsshole tried to act like she barely existed in person, pretended to ditch when it turned out he was waiting for her, then skipped straight to nonstop pestering after she had enough of his rude ass. A note to “play it aloof” d-bags, if you’re desperate, there’s nothing you can do to hide your desperation. You just end up looking like an obvious fool trying to strategize his way into someone’s pants.
Amazing. 1 internet for you.
Dammt, that was for the gynocentric post.
