Roosh, all things post-schism considered, I would support a new website or forum platform.
RVF and ROK are great resources for newcomers and broad-brushed red pillers learning game and shooting the shit about feminism, but in their current state as community hubs, have little to offer traditionalists or politically-minded guys (those neomasculinity hopes to attract). With such a wide net being cast demographically, it may make sense over the long-term to build a new platform rather than re-brand the mission statement of an existing community.
At the end of the day, RVF is a game forum and ROK is a general red pill website. Neomasculinity can only differentiate itself from other spheres through exclusivity.

An interesting observation with regards to Neomasculinity: while MGTOW answered a lot of the questions with regards to self developments independent of women, and game also answered a lot of questions with regards to self development with regards to women in our lives. There was never a bridge in either of these philosophies to go beyond the "self".
I will always aim to absorb the good while discarding the bad (which is why I align myself with MGTOW as I do think they have a point with regards to things like male birth control etc) but you simply cannot have a leaderless movement that is only affecting the "system" on a personal level and with no clear destination..
If I was a very humble man I would be fine with a simple MGTOW/"Game" enthusiast life, I wouldn't have to get hurt but I also wouldn't have to compete in anything (or in the case of game, I would never have to think beyond my next notch, or gym workout) and I would assure you it would be a pretty mediocre life.
My Dad said it best: "Whatever you invest yourself into. Go all the way. Aim to take the hobby/profession/whatever to its fullest degree".
And I feel neither "Game" or MGTOW can currently answer a lot of the questions that come after you execute. So you have gotten results and you are content with yourself... you might be an improved maen and you are thankful to the game/mgtow philosophy and how it has improved one aspect of your life. What comes next? Running "dread game" on your wife? (As Roosh pointed out).
I am not sure what Roosh intents are with Neomasculinity. But I feel that for the ambitious man, "game" or "mgtow" are never going to be final destinations. The ambitious red pill/masculine man wants exert his will and beliefs beyond himself. Is the nature of masculinity and why every form of competition comes down to power of wills.
Men might be at a disadvantage against feminism because men, unlike women, do not simply come together based on their gender. But there are very little challenges men as a gender shy from. So I am rooting for Roosh to win against nature itself and establish a mainstream masculine ideology that will breed the will of masculine men onto the world.

I just finished it, and can vouch for its excellence. For those of you who may not want to devote the hour, it is well worth it.

These guys are idiots.
Anyone with even an inkling of knowledge about making money online could tell you that Roosh barely makes any effort to monetize his sites.
Also, I've always thought places like TRP and game subreddits were good for helping men find the right information, but they're like high school compared to the university that is RVF. This community is clearly better, in both content and platform.
Reddit can be a great source of information, but it's specifically designed to bring popular opinions to the top and "hide" unpopular opinions. Hardly conducive to the types of things we talk about here, especially when you consider who controls the overall dialogue on Reddit.
I say that to say this:
1. Why would someone willfully stay on TRP when there is better information, better posters, and a more balanced platform available here? It's like staying 7 years in high school instead of just graduating and going to college. And like the latter, there is clearly some kind of mental or emotional deficiency at play.
2. Why would Rollo post there instead of here? It's because he knows the members there are more easily influenced and likely to buy his products. He knows Roosh won't tolerate any overt sales techniques here. Yet he criticizes Roosh's efforts as a "cash grab".
Let's look at the two.
- One is running the strongest community of its kind and collaborating with like-minded men to spread a message
- The other is consciously shirking like-minded men and opting for a lower quality community in an effort to sell more books
Who is the sell out here?
Rollo doesn't want to invoke change, he wants to be e-famous. That's why he's content to be the big fish in the small pond. He doesn't want to challenge himself or the status quo, he just wants to talk a bunch and have people listen.

It somewhat goes back to what I said above. Guys talking about Dark Triad stuff and the like are usually in my mind keyboard jockeys that don't talk to women. Evolutionary psychology can give you a foundation of the principles of game for instance (ie: why it works), but it can't develop your game for you or necessarily help to improve your life as a man. That requires effort and belief, not just knowledge. It's the same for the wider society too.
Evolutionary theory can explain a lot of different things, but again, so what? By nature it can't tell us what we should value or accept as a civilization, at best it can only explain what is. What Roosh is fundamentally talking about here is what society ought to value - what we ought to be.
I think this is what Roosh means when he says that his Neomasculinity places less importance on the theory of evolution, but I'll wait and see what he has to say about the matter.

Didn't expect Rollo to act like that. The dude has been a godsend. He's pretty much the reason why I have unplugged. He a several other community writers like Roissy and Roosh himself. Having said that, I have started limiting my time in TRP subreddit and moving on to game principles/lifting/etc.
Reddit is great, but a lot of the comments there are skewed towards the folks who are still in seething anger.
Maine and Canadian lobsters are the same animal. Prove me wrong.

You want to increase your SMV to other men!? I assume you mean your standing...

It's sort of funny, as my game gets better, I think of game concepts less. Like, I remember when this all used to e super intellectual for me, but now I just do it. Instinct is the ultimate form of intelligence in my book.
Don't get me wrong, I always recommend studying the game, but guys who always talk about the game like it's chess are always suspicious to me. Most of the guys I've met on this forum who are good just act. They're not going, "now i'm gunna DHV luzluzluzluzluzlulz."
I will be checking my PMs weekly, so you can catch me there. I will not be posting.

The 'Schism' video has surely drawn some attention (nearly 9 000 views and over 400 comments in about 2 days).

Agree with you 100%. I think that Rollo's work tells you
why Game works, but Roosh's work tells you
what to do. Before I read Roosh, I only read Rollo. And reading Rollo made me smart, but extremely sad and unmotivated. Only Roosh's work made me happy and motivated.

The attention itself is amazing, but more amazing is the diversity of voices that have weighed in. MGTOWs, MRAs, TRP-subreddit, VoxDay, and others.
