Without reading I'm just going to assume it's because they're sexually attracted to trans women and they don't know how to reconcile that without it threatening their perception of their own masculinity and sexuality.

Why unpack that echo-chamber of hate? These people have turned themselves into self-destructive loathe-fests.

You won't like the actual answer, but the close 2nd reason is because they hate women.

A “chaser,” in short, is anyone attracted to a person solely for reasons of sexual fetishism. Typically, they wouldn’t admit to this in their peer group, and wouldn’t engage in an public relationship with this person if they had the opportunity.

Why? Because they've never had the courage to look in the mirror ask themselves the simple question, "Am I gay?" and to answer it truthfully, for fear of what they may learn. This fascination just allows them to dance around the question.

Misogyny masked as male empowerment for young men who are aimless and unsure of their place in the world. Delivered though Influencers.
Andrew Tate is one of the bigger names in that ecosystem to give you an idea of the people doing it.

Years ago I saw a meme with a chart showing different types of women... I think "Hotness" was the vertical and "Sanity" was the horizontal. The only type of woman in the Hot AND Sane section was transgender women. The conservative idiots passing it around thought it was making fun of cis women but they all agreed that a woman couldn't be that perfect without being a man... I could be remembering it wrong, but that was my takeaway

Our feminine attributes are younger than the rest of us, and they like that.

Well that made me snort-laugh coffee all over my computer screen.... It might be true, sick, and weird. But it's also hilarious.

You take that many steroids and there's not going to be much left.
Grows every thing but the one part of them they think matters most.
For that it shrinks.

What is a "red pill" chaser? I'm not finding anything in my search that seems to match. (could be office firewall)

A homophobic misogynist who secretly is attracted to trans women

Exactly. "Red pill" is referring to someone who is part of that misogynistic information silo, and "chaser" is someone who fetishizes trans women.

Because a crapload of them are so deep in the closet they can hear the Narnia credits music and can't stand other people being happy...

Some folks are closeted with everyone but their wife and their therapist. It's terrible because you never know, even with long-term friends, if they would actually be cool with knowing that part of you.

yep it's wild living in the south after traveling / living in a lot of other states. These kids are wrapped up so tight by intolerance and taught to hate themselves it's a wonder any of them make it. It's exhausting meeting new people here just to discover later on the people they are willing to support to punish others.

what is a red pill chaser?

5 months ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 1

[Red pill] [chaser] ; a chaser is someone, usually a man, who is attracted to a trans person because they fetishize their trans status. Red pill is basically just a hard-core misogynist. The term is derived from a subreddit devoted to misogyny.

"red pill" i believe in this context refers to them (the man-o-sphere people) saying they took the "red pill" from the matrix (and whatever connotations they prescribe to that). The term "Chaser" is a term used by the trans community to refer to people who want to hook up with trans people for sex, usually due to fetishism or some other perversion and not because they are attracted to that person.

So just so I understand this correctly: these self diagnosed "alpha" males don't believe that transgender should and cannot exist, yet there is a subgroup that wants to get in their trans pants? So aren't they by this logic gay by being "attracted" (or better lusting) for a MtF trans person, since by their own definition this trans person would still be a male? Astonishing mental gymnastics.

you see, on their head sex with a woman should only be done for when you are trying for a baby and not for a pleasure. And just cause they have sex with a man, it doesnt make them gay. Having a sex with a woman for pleasure is a gay act for them. So there is even more mental gymnastics from them :D
