If you're comfortable, I'd call it out in a gentle way next time you hear it. Ask him what he means by it. Depending on how he responds, either give a neutral nod and walk away at your earliest opportunity, or say something like "oh, ok. I've heard people say that in XYZ context/meaning/whatever, and I was curious if that's what you meant. Glad to hear it's not, because I don't think I could continue with someone who has THAT kind of attitude!" And laugh it off like of course he wouldn't. He'll get the message that either (a) you're not his person, or (b) he needs to rethink his phrasing.
I agree, but I wouldn’t say that you know about the whole redpill universe. If he knows you know, he’ll just try to hide it. That’s how you end up in an LTR with someone who’s not who you think they are. Let him run his mouth freely. If there’s a problem, you want him to tell on himself.
