It turns out that Return of Kings was created by Roosh in 2012! So the whole site is shot through with Roosh’s monstrous worldview from start to finish. All of the authors and guest authors along with most of the commenters are seeing the world through Roosh’s eyes.
It only took me a few trips to that site to decide that it was horrifying. Bottom line is that place is ugly, mean, nasty hypermasculine, wildly misogynistic and utterly lacking in empathy. In other words, it’s a typical Manosphere site! I agree it’s not quite as bad as the sociopathic Heartiste but few sites in that sphere are.
It’s all starting to add up now.
I do think there is a need out there for Manosphere sites – sites where men can discuss what it means to be a man in all of its manifestations and in particular talk about ways to get women and get along with them after you get them. I mean all men want to know how to get women and how to get along with them once you reel one in. These are universal male concerns.
Why every such site dealing with these universal male concerns is insanely misogynistic and fanatically reactionary, I haven’t the faintest idea.
It wasn’t always like this. I grew up in the 1970’s with magazines like Hustler, Playboy, Penthouse, Chic and High Society. Most of these magazines were coming from the Left, although Hustler did try to appeal to the working class redneck guy.
The very idea of a society where the playboys are all rightwing fanatics is simply bizarre. Womanizers have been progressive men in the West for hundreds of years.
However, like I said, there is a need for Manosphere-type sites for men who actually don’t hate women, are not strutting, assholey, douchebag blowhards, and who have sane Centrist to Left politics.
As it is men have a choice between two insane views to line up with:
Male feminism: About as stupid, incompetent, wimpy and pussy as you can get. Your average male feminist looks like he needs to lose 75 pounds and even after that, he couldn’t get laid with God’s help. These white knight, save-a-ho, cock-blocking, fanatically PC Cultural Left men are truly pitiful. They’ve more or less gone over to the enemy and they’re traitors to their gender. They’re male Andrea Dworkins. How pathetic.
Manosphere: See above.
There’s literally nothing in between.
It’s like race where you have a choice between being a classic modern antiracist idiot or a hardcore White racist or White nationalist. People get shoved into one box or the other. The antis are so insane that anyone who isn’t 100% anti and as nuts they are is instantly labeled “a virulent, vicious, repugnant racist” and shoved over towards the American Renaissance types. The Amren types say you’re either one of us or you’re a “liberal,” a moronic anti and a supporter of White genocide.
Once again there’s nothing in between.
People are shoved towards one whacked out pole or another and forced to choose which brand of insanity tastes better.
Dumb.
