Dataset Card for Pill Ideologies - Post Titles
This dataset aims to be a tool to help identify linguistic patterns and glean insights from the reddit posts from members who partake in the internet centric pill ideologies, known as blackpill, red pill, blue pill. It is strictly meant for academic use to help understand the polarity between men and women today in the United States, NOT for commercial use in any context or circumstance.
Dataset Details
Dataset Description
A few of the major groups' posts have been coalesced into one dataset, all from different years. There are more than 1,000 posts per the major pill groups on reddit (red pill, blue pill, black pill). These are all the subreddits used for the scraping : "theredpillrebooted", "RedPillWomen", "marriedredpill", "RedPillWives", "askMRP", "TheBluePill","PurplePillDebate","Feminism", and "ForeverAloneWomen".
The groups of Feminism and Forever Alone Women were added as a juxtaposition against red pill women, in oder to allow researchers to explore the dichotomies between female groups. In the case of the Feminism subreddit, it can sometimes appear similar to the blue pill reddit in language, and Forever Alone Women are proxies for female incels (involuntary celibates), acting as both linguistic mirrors to both the red pill and blue pill, depending on which language they adopt. For researchers, the value will be in identifying or classifying the types of words that serve as identifiers of one ideology more than another.

Uses
The main usage of this dataset is to study linguistic patterns. Running models and detecting word usage per groups, as well as overlaps across groups, are ideal uses for this dataset. With the rise of the loneliness epidemic, any insights that come from this are welcome.
Here is an example analysis notebook showing what can be done with this type of data.

Direct Use
The suitable use cases are to multi-class classification, word clustering or semantic clustering per different groups, summarization modeling, text parsing, and any other natural language processing task.

Out-of-Scope Use
This dataset is not meant to be utilized to demonize or mock certain online communities for the trials in life in which individuals find themselves. If the viewer's agenda is to push forward some misandrist or misogynistic agenda, please ignore this dataset.

Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
With the rise of the loneliness epidemic and the radicalization of internet content pitting men and women against each other, it is important to seek understanding of the root of the problem. Depending on whom you ask, you'll get a plethora of answers. Jordan Peterson describes it as some type of post-modernist feminist liberalism problem. The Andrew Tates and other conservative archetypes blame the loss of traditionalism. Others blame dating apps and its selection bias effects. Within each of the major pill ideologies, with the exception of the BlackPill, men blame women, and women blame men.
Unfortunately, male spaces, as substantiated by research and media coverage, in recent years have only been able to exist on the internet, and counter-spaces have emerged to challenge the views held in the differing ideologies.
In short, according to archetypical definitions
- the red pill is the emancipation of the masculinity in a feminized age and understanding mating strategies with women.
- the blue pill is the satire of the red pill, often run by women.
- the black pill is meant to bridge the gaps across the red, pink, and blue pills in order to land on a ground truth.
- the pink pill is about improving the female image by augmenting sexual marketplace value.

Source Data
Each record contains a reddit post, approximately 200 per group, and has a key title and a post with words to display the intended message by the author.
Data Collection and Processing
In progress.
However, the plan is to increase the amount of records and leverage the ChatGpt API to summarize the messages into categories. In addition, the dates have to be cleaned a little, in order to add use for researches. I am also not sure if I can retrieve comments per post, further augmenting the data.
[More Information Needed]
Who are the source data producers?
The producers of the data are the various redditors who have participated in these spaces.

Annotations [optional]
An annotation that is not part of the collection will be the ChatGPT summarizations (future). The subreddit labels are merely the origins of the posts.
Annotation process
The origin of the posts are the labels of the records.
Who are the annotators?
I and the subreddit origin are the label annotators.
Personal and Sensitive Information
This dataset contains no personally identifiable information with the exception of embedded youtube links. Those links may lead to videos where the impact of the content is unknown.
Bias, Risks, and Limitations
A major caveat is that the pink pill and original red pill groups are shadow banned, impeding their scraping process. This is a flaw I recognize because the original red pill movement, which started in books by authors, propagated itself through its internet (reddit) variant, and it spawned all the other pills.
Another bias point is that there is more red pill content, as a means to compensate for the ban of the original red pill subreddit.
As such, I caution researchers to balance their datasets where necessary.

Recommendations
Users should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the dataset. Remember that this dataset is not a tool for reckless and hateful political agendas.
