I’d like to talk about a website that actually is trying to start this revolution: the people of returnofkings.com.

If you’re not familiar, returnofkings.com is run by a bunch of “Men’s Rights Activists” (i.e. white guys who think the world is somehow out to get them for being white guys… yeah, it’s as ridiculous as it sounds) who seem to strive for a world straight out of a Tucker Max book. Or maybe a Chuck Palahniuk novel? Oh! I know! The Matrix. MRAs absolutely love the Matrix. In other words, it very well may be the worst website to exist in the history of the internet.

Anyyyyyyway. Let’s take a look at their “About” page.

Return Of Kings is a blog for heterosexual, masculine men.

Okay, well, every site has to have a demographic. Fair enough.

ROK aims to usher the return of the masculine man in a world where masculinity is being increasingly punished and shamed in favor of creating an androgynous and politically-correct society that allows women to assert superiority and control over men. Sadly, yesterday’s masculinity is today’s misogyny.

Hrm…

Women and homosexuals are prohibited from commenting here.

Um… Well, let’s see what they list under “Community Beliefs.”

1. Men and women are genetically different, both physically and mentally. Sex roles evolved in all mammals. Humans are not exempt.

I worry about where this is going..

2. Women are sluts if they sleep around, but men are not. This fact is due to the biological differences between men and women.

After the first sentence, I had hope that they were making a point of highlighting one of society’s greatest double-standards. As it turns out, they simply want to reinforce it.

Let’s skip down a bit.

6. A woman’s value is mainly determined by her fertility and beauty. A man’s value is mainly determined by his resources, intellect, and character.

Hear that, ladies? If you’re not fertile and beautiful, you have no worth. Guys, on the other hand, have free reign to be sterile and ugly, while not being judged on that basis.

7. Elimination of traditional gender roles and the promotion of unlimited mating choice in women unleashes their promiscuity and other negative behaviors that block family formation.

Oh, what the fuck? What decade are we in? Hell, what century are we in?

References to “Tyler Durden” and “taking the red pill” make up the basis of so many of the site’s posts. “Have you swallowed the red pill?” one article asks. It seems entirely lost on the site’s writers that the very imagery they’re referencing are the creations of people who wouldn’t even be allowed to comment, let alone post on their site (Chuck Palahniuk is gay; Lana Wachowski, one of the writers and directors on the Matrix — where the red pill/blue pill originated — is a transgender woman). There’s certainly some irony in the fact that their core philosophies are based on the writings of people they advocate against.

There’s also quite a bit of hypocrisy among the authors. In various pieces, they lash out against those who hide in anonymity on the internet. They accuse people of trying to manipulate and misrepresent who they are. All of this, of course, is said as they write behind ridiculous pen names like Law Dogger (whose most recent piece is titled “The Worst Bang of My Life”) and Nascimento (whose most recent article is titled “Why You Should Try Sober Game” and describes himself as a “young and aspiring Casanova”).

Somehow, this bastion of misogyny has generated more than 2,000 fans on Facebook (click here to see if anyone you know likes them), and more than 400,000 unique visitors have stopped by the site.

More than ⅓ of the site’s readers are under the age of 25, 40% of visitors don’t have a college degree, roughly 70% of readers are men, and nearly 80% of visitors to the site are white. More or less, it’s exactly who you’d expect to visit a site like this.

I read through their entire archive, and I’d like to highlight the 20 trolliest examples of trolling to have ever trolled. Most articles are NSFW for content purposes, and consider a trigger warning for misogyny, rape apologist language, transphobia, homophobia, and cissexism to be applied to all of the below.

In order to keep my out faith in humanity alive, I really do have to believe this is just a collective of trolls. I shudder at the thought that there actually are people who believe the ridiculous, sexist, delusional things that get posted to that site.

24 Signs She’s a Slut

Thanks, haven't laughed so hard in awhile.

I made the list!

Fat people truly are evil.

Too bad nothing substantive I've written got on the list.

Surprised that she included my sex "slave" article, but not the 5 Reasons Why Fat Girls Don't Deserve Love one.

Demographic of people who hate on roosh's sites: fat, dikey, ugly bitches with butch haircuts. 90% of the time. Makes sense.

cissexism?

What in the fuck is that?

Pretty bummed my Worst Nationalities of Women as Described by Google article didn't make the cut this time.

What the fuck is "cissexism"? They make that word up?

"More than ⅓ of the site’s readers are under the age of 25, 40% of visitors don’t have a college degree, roughly 70% of readers are men, and nearly 80% of visitors to the site are white. More or less, it’s exactly who you’d expect to visit a site like this."

Manipulation of stats, why bother bringing up the minority instead of saying "2/3 of the site's readers are above the age of 25, 60% of visitors have a college degree"?

But dat forehead and overbite, its like Rihanna and Michelle Obama had a white baby.

still more forgivable than the man jaw she has

I love it how she encounters the fact that the sexual double standard is due to biological differences and, instead of somehow trying to refute it, just says "It turns out they actually want to reinforce it"

With enemies like that, we could be on moral and intellectual high ground even if we turned the entire website into a gallery of our duckface portraits.

good comment

I think you misunderstand the meaning of the word 'troll'. Trolling is an active, not passive, activity. How can writing to your intended audience be 'trolling'? If you read ROK and you feel 'trolled' then you trolled yourself. Then again this must be a quite heavy thought for a 'marketing professional' to chew on, so I apologise.

Gentlemen,

That's not a chick. It's a tranny. He/she/it had a meltdown because thought catalog published some articles by Jim Goad:

I Can't Write For The Same Website As Jim Goad.

"40% of visitors don't have a college degree"

Don't feminists have a word for this now? Credential-ism or some shit?

I've said it many times before, Research Methods should be a mandatory course for all humanities and social science students.

She couldn't have used a more backward example to bolster her claims. Not sure where she's taking the stats from, but let's run with them.

Alright, let's accept her implied premise (which I don't buy) that having a college degree is correlated with critical thinking, lack of ignorance, or similar shit.

So that means 60% of visitors HAVE a college degree.

Which is a much higher percentage than occurs in the general populace.

On top of that, she says 33+% of readers are under the age of 25, so many wouldn't have even had time to graduate yet regardless of whether they choose to go to college.

Quote:Quote:

roughly 70% of readers are men

Wait, so you're saying a site devoted to "misogyny" has a 30% FEMALE readership (Yes, we only count "cisgenders" here).

Obviously there's women perusing while they stuff themselves and simmer in self righteous rage, but that can't explain every female reader.

Quote:Quote:

Which isn't that far off from the demographics of Canada, USA, and Western Europe, where if I'm not mistaken, most of the readership lives.

And she immediately turns it into a race discussion by making ROK author's out to be white MRA's. For someone who claims to have read through the "entire archive", how do you come to that conclusion when faced with great writers like Athlone.


Seems she tried to launch a bomb doing all this work but wasn't expecting the effect a bit of logic has on girl power:

As usual, the critics have nothing to offer but snark, anger and incredulity.

Yes, that is what we advocate. Yes, we are unapologetic about it. No, we will not have sex with you.

Haha, nice find.

I propose a simple rule of thumb: when mentally ill, dick-chopping, transgendered freaks speak out against you, you know you're doing something right.

"I cannot continue to submit content to a website so willing to publish “counterpoints” where people like me are referred to as “self-mutilating freaks” and equates being transgender with being a mass murderer."

I remember this person because I'm a member of Jim Goad's fb group. When thought catalog started publishing Jim's work there was a huge outcry from the social justice "warriors." Jim offered to debate them, but most of them had meltdowns before they could go through with it. To this person's credit, he/she did have a "dialogue" with Jim. I'll see if I can find it.

Edit - Here's the debate.

That pot shot at Goad was pathetic.

She's just pissed she can't get a following like him.

Maybe she really is a woman? Because that is some passive-aggressive, hyper-jealous bullshit.

Commenters nailed it - she is a narcissist

She must really thought she was going to be universally praised for chopping off her dick and praised for her writing.

He/She whatever must have had some serious depression issue when they realized they would get neither.

?? Nascimento sounds ridiculous to her? Why?? because it is Portuguese-sounding? So, she is unconsciously racist, if a Brazilian-Portuguese name sounds "ridiculous" to her.

For me who respect latin cultures, Nascimento sounds fine, not ridiculous at all.
