TLDR - Be skeptical of content and be willing to listen to other viewpoints.
I was recently banned from posting on RoK because I pointed out some misconceptions about Roosh's application and understanding of evolutionary psychology. This prompted me to point out something I've noticed in numerous subbreddits, especially TRP - echo chambers. I was really under the impression a site like that had tougher skin than that. No big deal, whatever.
However, could it just be some people love this type of message delivery system? I'd argue that this is a dangerous mindset to have. While I will argue for most of the ideas talked about on this sub and the manosphere in general, I feel you should still remain skeptical. While some posters have gained a reputation for well thought out posts, it doesn't automatically mean we need to upvote and follow the pack.
People who don't listen to criticism of their view are only hurting themselves. Obviously, this is counter to the idea of self improvement which is a large part of what many of us should be striving for.
If you don't accept criticism to your thoughts, ideas, etc. What makes you better than those we criticize here? It should be much more satisfying to dismantle someone's arguments versus just banning/ignoring them. (Keep in mind, I'm not advocating arguing with sjws. We know where that gets us.)
Echo chambers can lead you down this dangerous path of polarizing your view point against or for a certain idea while ignoring ALL views that oppose your own. There are few ideas and theories that have no holes in them. However, strong theories and ideas are able to take those holes and manage them effectively.
I just wanted to make a post to highlight some of this behavior I've seen within TRP subs. It's important to listen to opposing views and criticism for two reasons.
First, it allows you to remain independent in thought. You shouldn't blindly follow those who've said some great things and never questioning following statements.
Secondly, your viewpoint will be that much stronger if you can swat down those criticism with well thought out arguments and logic. Instead of merely dismissing/ignoring them.
