The so-called “red pill” is scientistic. The notion of Alpha males, Betas and so on mimics evolutionary psychology...but all they are saying is that women like tall, dark, handsome, and “bad” men. An insight also contained in Wuthering Heights and commonsense.
This is close to what scientism is. Commonsense, knowledge of humans from literature...this can only be accepted by people when presented as “evolutionary” or in system of pseudo-scientific language “Alpha” etc.
