"Relativism" here means uncertainty - "maybe this, maybe that." It posits that the thing being explained is extremely context-dependent; if you remove this very particular context, the explanation supposedly no longer works. No universals or objective knowledge can be drawn from a set of particular experiences.
We will not do heavy-duty philosophy here, but there is a clear and obvious problem - namely, a lack of guidance. If everything is so extremely context-dependent, it becomes impossible for me to receive advice when I need it. Because each and every thing that happened to someone else has a slightly different context, it cannot be applied to me. Were I in dire straits, this would actually drive me to desperation.
For example, take any blackpill text that argues that looks are the primary reason for a man's dating success. Give that text to an AI and ask for commentary. It will say, "Attraction cannot be reduced to a single factor; it is a set of complex factors," and then give you a list. But if you have 20 things to think about, you effectively have nothing to focus on. What tries to encapsulate everything ends up encapsulating nothing. If you "trick" the AI into reducing the list, it will give you something generic like "just be nice," which is obviously false.
Here I would like to add that two statements cannot be true simultaneously:
1. Everything is relative; to each their own. Every woman is unique, and thus the things they prefer are unique; and
2. Just be nice. Women like kind men.
If women are truly so unique, then some would prefer mean-spirited men. Ergo, if I am mean-spirited, I should not try to be nicer.
And yes, any particular experience that supports the blackpill will be dismissed as "context-dependent."
