Online gaming and related entertainment (e.g. streaming) is a breeding ground for red pill ideology. It’s an epidemic. All this rizz, sigma, whatever stuff is toxic red pill, value-based ideology bleeding to the younger generations’ culture.

"Sigma" sure, but saying "rizz" (etymology: short for charisma) is red pill is like saying talking about dating at all is red pill (and black Americans used it before Kai Cenat made it mainstream.)

Do not use the Trump victory as an excuse for an unfettered fear and disdain of young people unless you wish for more news like it.

Never said anything about disdain for young people. You think kids 10 and under should be concerned with rizz and how attractive they are? Potentially how their rizz can get them sex? It’s part of the value-based thinking that red pill ideology is based on. Just because it might have origins in AAVE doesn’t mean it’s divorced from red pill influence.

The problem is that the way we talk about dating has been dominated by people with a political agenda.

Because 10 year olds have been talking about dating longer than red pill has been around. Not dead seriously, but they're not unaware.

Not saying kids of past generations were less influenced by misogyny, but I think the evolution of underground incels to the rising popularity and openness of red pill podcasters/youtubers is shaping the way kids are influenced by misogyny. Think American Pie vs. Andrew Tate.
