Indian hate and the sharp decline of the Passport Bros subreddit.
How it has gone downhill and why I care.
A year ago, I posted about my travel experiences on the Passport Bros subreddit and I have to say, it was somewhat of a wholesome place. I had a fun time sharing my travel experiences throughout Europe and the success I had. However, as 2024 went on, a sub that I once considered to be a wholesome place was a shell of its former self. Even with great moderators, it turned into an almost unrecognizable place.
First you had the infiltration from women and people who are against the movement, of which there are many. I was not around for this as much because I was living my life. However, what had me posting is the fact that I have seen the Indian hate skyrocket in that sub along with its decline.
Its not a morality thing, its a legitimacy thing.
When commenters are getting upvoted for voting up nonsense because they want to spread the agenda of Indian hate that has spiraled over from Twitter and IG, it makes the entire sub seem less legitimate. When the crap getting upvoted is just agenda from Incels that don’t want a certain race to get laid, it eventually makes the entire sub and community seem illegitimate. Now the narrative becomes “they are full of crap” and “they just make crap up” as opposed to “well its harsh advice but is true”.
I say this because as someone who looks visibly Indian, I went through various cities in Western Europe last year and got laid in almost every one in the week I spent there. So if what the Passport Bros subreddit is saying is true, then how am I having success in Western Europe? How is it that the apps are blowing up for me and I am having so much more success than even here in the US? It should not make sense if what the Passport Bros subreddit says is true.
And that is the problem with the Passport Bros subreddit.
People that probably can’t even afford to travel or go to different countries to meet women are somehow speaking from a place of experience. Not only that, they are speaking about the experiences of people whose shoes they have not walked in. Chances are, these guys have not even seen an Indian guy talk to women in their home country and are just trying to spread an agenda. It could be bots or it could be people with an axe to grind against Indians, who really knows.
The problem is that when these people post and their comments get upvoted, it reflects the views of the whole sub. When guys like me go out there and destroy those views, well now the sub just looks like a fraudulent community that spreads BS.
If these people were Indian themselves who have tried or if they happened to know Indian guys that have tried, they would be taken more seriously. However, now it is all BS that is being spread and not cut out.
The fact that it is being spread so aggressively tells me something.
That this people are not just wrong, they are wrong and insecure. Lets be real, sure, some FOB from India is not getting anything. However, in recent years, Indian men have started to step their game up. You see small bits of it whether it is the actor on Midnight Mass, Hanumankind, Dev Patel getting better roles, Kash Patel being Director of FBI, or an Indian guy almost becoming a front runner to be the mayor of NYC (the most powerful city in the world).
Indian men are starting to win and transform in a big way. In a generation or two, we are going to have a new whole class of Desis who play sports, look good, get girls (already seeing this with a younger generation), and break the stereotype. The fact that this is happening in the real world and then the online hatred on communities like Passport Bros is ramping up should tell you something.
Remember, infamous Isla Vista scumbag Elliot Rodger went berserk when he saw Asian and Indian men with hot blondes. His Incel mind could not cope with the fact that the same hot blondes he pedestalized were now going with Asians and Indians he sees as below him.
Indian men are on the come up and a good community like Passport Bros should actually celebrate that. They should want men of all colors to win. Unfortunately, that once good community has been flooded with trolls that don’t even travel. Trolls that do not even have any experiences going to different countries and meeting women. Just lonely miserable losers that are going around spreading lies and in turn, making an entire community look like a bunch of liars.
And that is literally what the Passport Bros subreddit is now.
A bunch of guys that don’t even travel because they either can’t afford to or their jobs won’t let them. A bunch of guys who cannot afford to meet women in other countries. A bunch of losers who cannot get laid or are any good at it. These are the most vocal guys spreading lies and nonsense when they themselves don’t even live that Passport Bro life. The community has gone from a welcoming place to one that is now a farce.
