On the 6th of January 2016 Roosh first announced the Tribal meetups and for many weeks NOTHING happened.

Even the only thread on this forum at the time I started about it on the 8th of January 2016 only got 21 replies.
Honestly...it seemed like hardly anyone was interested.
It felt like this:


Then some petitons against Roosh and the meetups started appearing online


February 1st, less than a week before they were to occur the Australian media starts the shitstorm and Roosh starts trolling the hell out of them




Roosh has some very cordial exchanges with female journalists here, and here and the absolute best one is here
(Roosh will have to let us know how that one turned out.)


Soon the Australian Navy get shit scared of Roosh "penetrating" their border



I make my prediction that this is just the beginning.



Then the worldwide media starts calling the all tribal meetups "pro-rape" encounters



February 2nd the forum has the red banner put at the top and is put in a state of emergency



Then all the newbie and sleeper accounts from forum members that haven't logged in for months (or even years) with ZERO rep suddenly start mass posting and asking to meet Roosh in person and ask senior members for pm's on meetup details.



I start praying to my personal forum god and also go on a hunger strike

February 2nd - Roosh asks for help to save the meetups under threat



A forum datasheet becomes mainstream news



February 3rd - the threats against Roosh and also the planned attacks against this forum start coming hard and heavy



Girls start crying about Roosh for NO REASON



4th of February Roosh cancels all the meetups



The British Parliament discusses Roosh and the Return of Kings website for a whole 26 minutes











I think thats a banned RVF forum member who was trolling us a while back among the debating government officials.

Post: #3

Then the forum becomes private and gets sealed to non members



4th February - Roosh calls the police cause of all the threats he's getting and the cops (as the professionals they are) invite a paparazzi with them



5th February - Roosh's parents address gets doxed by a cuck "journalist" and "some dudes".



...and finally on the 6th of February Roosh gives a press conference in Washinton DC on the exact same day and almost exact same time the originaly planned meetups were SUPPOSED to take place.







The last 7 days have been INSANE



I feel like this whole crazy fiasco has been building and building and edging closer and closer to god knows what....

....and Roosh's kick ass press conference was the finishing climaxing culminating money shot we were all waiting for.

I like this. Amazingly enough, it doesn't really cover the gravity of events over the last week. There were literally hundreds of articles written villifying Roosh. It hit all of our FB feeds. We literally saw a worldwide conspiracy. (No, I don't normally use the word "literally" this much, but damn, this whole thing is crazy).

Perhaps it's also worth a mention that a lot of meetups went on, anyway? And the protests.

Good posts though, could and should easily be an RoK article to taunt our enemies with.

Post: #5

There are like, literally other literal threads for that

I do really hope Merc submits it for a RoK article.

Post: #7

Suman, things are much more serious than that, I agree. But this was a really well put together, funny, lighthearted summary. God knows a lot of us need a laugh in such twisted times. Nicely done Merc.

Not to mention. The end result of all that hysteria is...?

Meet ups occurred nonetheless. As it would be logistically impossible to inhibit basic social events short of extreme draconian measures.
Roosh has been given more exposure than he could ever have wanted.
Which may have increased his notoriety, but also increased his bank balance.

Feminism hasn't advanced at all.
In fact, the no. of men worldwide exposed to either the hysteria or Roosh's writing would do more to inhibit feminism than any amount of Facebook activism could promote it.
Speaking of which, many people on Facebook or people working for the media outed themselves as mentally stunted, highly emotional & irrational individuals.

Then when it's all said & done, superbowl weekend rolls by & the whole RoK Meet Up thing is old news.
All the while, Europe is still a basket case & none of the anti-RoK white knights or feminist activists have volunteered to live in Saudi Arabia, Libya or Pakistan...

Now, if only Roosh had initially organised these RoK Meet ups for Feb. 13th...

The only buzzfeed type gif/short caption article I actually liked.

Post: #10

I don't know how to save the graph as an image and upload it to the forum, but this link shows that Roosh's Wikipedia article received 623,000 views between 31 January and 7 February. The traffic peaked on 4 Feb with almost 184,000 views in that 24-hour period.

If only 1% of those people buy one of Roosh's books or put the Return Of Kings site on their daily reading list, that's still over 6,000 new converts to the cause.

Centurion,

I agree. Click-bait journalists also have an amazing ability to make their point with extremely cunty/passive aggressive gifs. Merc's gifs were just funny and well-timed.

Good job Merc, this is a light-hearted way to illustrate the past week's events. Laughed out loud at the Commando Roosh gif!

Waiting for a summary by Roosh himself that captures the gravity and media conspiracy we've seen unfold, this time from the inside.

Post: #12

I came out of the woodwork during the meetup hysteria, I hope nobody thinks I'm one of these sleepers too.

I just get pumped when we actually meet each other is all.

Post: #13

I got a Facebook invite to one of the protests. The organizer of the protest was a man.

I corrected it for you.

Small town paper opinion piece summarizes the events and defends free speech.

Beware the angry social media mob

Quote:Early last year, Roosh wrote an article regarding the heightened dialogue over male-on-female rape. The dialogue sprouted from university campuses, where, for the last half-decade, resurgent cultural progressivism has bolstered third-wave feminism. This misandrist doctrine is facilitated by social media, so those adhering to it are amplified far beyond their actual volume.

Essentially, third-wavers want rape laws to be revised so that even if consent between two adults is settled, the woman can renege following intercourse. If she decides that her mind was not 100 percent clear, the sex act, though devoid of criminal intent, would become felonious. Many colleges have adopted rape definitions which accommodate this perspective.

...

Regrettable as Roosh’s satire was, he — and certainly his mother — did not deserve this.

Before anyone cheers the mob, remember that, in our digital age, any statement of yours can be used to annihilate your livelihood. What happened to Roosh can be inflicted on any one of us. The most innocent of chatter might be ripped from context and propagated as an admission of capital guilt.

Speak out against this tyranny. We might not always have the chance.

Excellent recap. We should sticky this, there are a few members who missed out on this and don't understand what the hell had gone on in the meantime. Add this:
Rape articles about Roosh between 1st and 6th February

Post: #17

OP's post makes me nostalgic for the day of Steve McMahon's in forum articles/thread openers.

Post: #18

Thank you all for your replies, likes, and rep points.

May the memory of this important battle make us more united and better prepared for the next one.

1,600+ articles were written from Jan 31 to Feb 13. That's crazy.

Post: #20

The 1 year anniversary of one of our toughest and greatest battles is today.
We should not forget it.
And we should also take this time to reflect where we are now as men, compared to where we were 1 year ago.


The original video of Roosh's press conference from exactly 1 year ago on today's date, has over 100,000 views.

It's awe-inspiring how much the world has changed for us in just one year.

Post: #22

I'm very thankful I survived the outrage, in part due to the help of forum members here whose support was unwavering. I hold no bitterness to what happened because I see the big picture that we are dissidents during a turbulent period of history. If this was 100 years prior, many of us would be rotting away in dungeons. I'm definitely more optimistic on this February 6 than last year's.

For the next event I do (probably in 2018), I know it will have to be a fully fledged counter-terrorist operation, based on what we've seen recently at the Deploraball and Berkeley. I want to be at full strength when I attempt it.

Roosh's Wikipedia page has 74 source links as references, the most I can remember seeing. It covers his actual point of view in detail, enough that anyone reading it would get a solid dose of neomasculinity.

What's the over/under that that bitch ass reporter guy still doesn't lift?

A really important reminder, especially after the Berkeley riots with Milo, and how the media protects the thugs, and makes the speakers like Milo and Roosh the bad guys. The media is the enemy.
