He's posted enough of that shit though that any claim that he's trolling is bullshit in my mind.
The sign of a good troll is being just absurd enough that people attack you/get rustled for your "stance" on an issue, but not quite absurd enough that nobody could
genuinelyharbor those thoughts on a topic (see Araysar's long running "troll" about Prometheus). With how buttmad some of you guys were at my "posts" and how convinced you all were that I'm just a huge misogynist/"woman hater", it obviously had some effect.
Now, how this troll came about is fairly simple/straightforward: A while back (I want to say over a year ago), Tardnoomba had just started in with her ridiculous stances on feminism, "rape", and other general dumbfuckery. Trollface was destroying her arguments pretty handily, but somewhere along the line a link to Rational Male got posted in response to something. At that point in time, I had never heard of Red Pill, Rollo, or Rational Male. I've read a lot of different PUA stuff, various books/articles on "game" or seduction, stuff like that. Well, after reading through some of the blog posts, it became a prime opportunity to be the antithesis of the bullshit Tardnoomba was preaching. The fact that it rustled so many of the Lindz nut huggers and white knights, as well as serving its original purpose, was just icing on the cake.
Essentially, I was posing as the other side of the coin to Tardnoomba, with the assumption that
someonewould have to eventually clue in on it, right? Surprisingly, nobody did (if they did, they kept silent about it, or are now playing revisionist history in an attempt to save face. "Hah! I knew you were trolling the whole time! You can't pull the wool over my eyes, Ruseman!"). I was close to being outed a few times and thought for sure that I was going to get discovered in the Butthurt White Guys thread, especially when Antarius started throwing around a bunch of links to Rational Male. Then, Trollface even posted a response to one of my "posts" saying, "Yeah, I read that this morning on RM. Good article.". I thought for
surethat I was done then, but most people were skimming over the posts at that point, I think. Tuco was the first one that seemingly had his Spidey Sense tingling and I almost gave up the ruse then, but after things died down, I kept it going, and when I still didn't get outed, I figured it was still safe. After Lejina's post, it was too obvious to anybody paying attention, so I copped to it.
Just to clear the record, do you agree with the general gist of what you posted or was it complete trolljob?
I agree with a lot of what Rollo says in regards to women, love, relationships, etc. and how it applies
generally(that word is very important). Men, women, the brain, and human psychology/interactions are complex enough that not
everyonecan be painted with a black or white brush. However, generalizations are very effective and useful tools, ones which we use daily. In fact, our
generalexperiences are how we form most of our opinions on literally
everything. Now, obviously things don't apply to all women, all men, or all situations/circumstances - that's obvious to anyone. The thing is,
generally, women, men, apes, ants, etc. behave a certain way and those patterns/triggers are relatively easy to figure out.
Where I think Rollo goes off the reservation and where I disagree with him almost entirely, is when he descends to near Lumie levels with his "feminist agenda" stuff. I think feminism and women as a whole are doing what
everyhuman being does - they are attempting to best serve their self interests. Unfortunately, that sometimes has unintended consequences, but I don't think it's some NWO plot to overthrow men.
With that said, I do think there is a fringe movement of "militant" feminists that are starting to have
someeffect on legislation (so far, mostly in other countries), which is becoming a bit worrisome. Governing based on "feels" is absolutely one of the worst ways to govern and it's how you end up with things like the Patriot Act. Essentially, they are trying (in some cases even succeeding) to pass laws against problems that really don't exist.
So, like I said. I agree with some of Rollo's
generalprinciples, but I'm smart (cynical?) enough to realize that what probably started as a blog for "awareness", now often dives into obvious "click farming" territory.
