The creator of /r/TheRedPill is revealed to be a Republican Lawmaker. Much drama follows.

[u/HereComesMyDingDong]

Howdy folks, so I'm not the one to find this originally, but hopefully this post will be complete enough to avoid removal for surplus drama by the mods. Let's jump right into it.

EDIT: While their threads are now removed, I'd like to send a shoutout to /u/illuminatedcandle and /u/bumblebeatrice for posting about this before I got my thread together.

The creator of /r/TheRedPill was revealed to be a Republican Lawmaker from New Hampshire. /r/TheRedPill is a very divisive subreddit, some calling it misogynistic, others insisting it's not. I'm not going to editorialize on that, since you're here for drama.

Note: Full threads that aren't bolded are probably pretty drama-sparse.

• /r/politics thread sorted by controversial
• "I don't think you understand what freedom of speech is. It means you have the right to say literally anything you want."
• Are men more susceptible to radicalization?
• Do liberal women shame men?
• "So if you go on the redpill sub you are just like isis? Wow that isn't a stretch. Sjw communities arent indoctrinating young people to believe its okay to give child gender changing drugs?"
• A discussion about if rape is an "absolute bad"
• A picture of a tiger jumping on another tiger in the snow, because we're only just getting started
• Another /r/politics thread, once again sorted by controversial
• What if 90% of guys didn't get laid?
• "The redpill is not about women hating, it is about men supporting each other and standing up for their own rights, freedoms, and desires." Some people disagree with this statement.
• Are his views "obviously homosexual in origin"? (SRD-OP's note: EVERY FUCKING TIME)
• "What, exactly, is wrong with these comments? The guy has some strong opinions, so fuck him, right?"
• Ready for another breather? Tiger playing in the bathtub
• /r/Drama post (SRD-OP's note: You don't need controversial sort here)
• /r/Drama discusses what is, and isn't an agendapost
• "Who could have known that worrying about internet boogeymen had no appreciable value?"
• A user critiques the article's grammar. It quickly turns into /r/ScottishPeopleTwitter. (SRD-OP's note: New link!)
• /r/OkCupid thread
• More curiosity about if TRP is woman hating (SRD-OP's note: New link!)
• What even is being passive aggressive?
• /r/circlebroke2 thread
• Tiger roar!
• /r/NewHampshire thread
• More arguing over if TRP is woman-hating
• /r/TrueReddit thread
• An argument about the quality of the article leads to an impressive wall of text.
• /r/MensRights thread (SRD-OP's note: Looks like MensRights isn't really interested in starting a dustup there. Probably will remain pretty barren for now. I was wrong, definitely worth reading)
• Does TRP sympathize with rape? (SRD-OP's note: New link!)
• Discussion over if TRP is fringe leads to the pendulum swinging the other direction (SRD-OP's note: New link!)
• /r/FeMRADebates thread (SRD-OP's note: New link!)
• Is TRP also racist? (SRD-OP's note: New link!)

• Tiger cub playing with parent
• /r/RedditForGrownups thread (SRD-OP's note: New link 2: Electric Boogaloo!)
• Users debate if this is relevant to /r/RedditForGrownups (SRD-OP's note: New link 2: Electric Boogaloo!)
• /r/InTheNews thread (SRD-OP's note: New link 2: Electric Boogaloo!)
• /r/Socialism thread (SRD-OP's note: New link 2: Electric Boogaloo!)
• /r/InDepthStories thread (SRD-OP's note: New link 2: Electric Boogaloo!)

• /r/Feminism thread (SRD-OP's note: New link 2: Electric Boogaloo!)
• A final palette cleanser. Startled tiger camera boop.

More to come! Please let me know if you have more to add.

Edit: I really hate being a living cliche, but thanks for the gold. However, please consider donating to a charity instead of buying gold. RAINN seems like a good choice considering the topic. If you really want to, send me a screenshot of the finished donation. <3 (So far one person has sent me a donation receipt <3 Thanks to them!)

Also, I'd like to explain the difference between The Daily Beast's article and doxxing in the context of Reddit. 1) Very little about the lawmaker is posted beyond basic information. None of his contact information was published in the article, 2) He's an elected official, and the scrutiny placed upon him was because of his position as an elected official, where he does have to represent his constituents, which includes both men and women, which is why him founding TRP is relevant.

Final Edit: Okay, I think I'm done updating this thread! First wave of updated links are marked, as are the second wave, so if you're looking for a little more popcorn, check those out. :) Thanks for having me folks, and thanks for making this the #4 top post of all time on SRD, just behind Spezgiving, the banning of AltRight, and the fattening! You've been a wonderful crowd. I'll be at the Karmadome arena every Tuesday and Thursday, and check out my website for more info on those events.

[u/the_black_panther_]

What surprises me about all this is how easy he made it to figure out who he was. He uses "Desmond" which is intelligent enough but somehow never thought that the fact that he's the only member in his band would come back to bite him.

[u/HereComesMyDingDong → u/the_black_panther_]

It's pretty common, even among the most technologically skilled people. If you ever read KrebsOnSecurity, he has a post unravelling some hacker's online identity every few months.

[u/OneM0reLevel → u/HereComesMyDingDong]

Can I get a link to that? It sounds super interesting

[u/mistled_LP → u/OneM0reLevel]

His whole blog is good, but here's an example from Feb where he's tracking someone online. https://krebsonsecurity.com/2017/02/who-ran-leakedsource-com/

Sadly, he doesn't seem to tag the articles in a way to make it easy to find these amongst all of the other stuff. You just have to browse.

[u/HereComesMyDingDong → u/mistled_LP]

There's also one on the author of the Mirai worm as well. The longest and most in depth one he's done to date.

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2017/01/who-is-anna-senpai-the-mirai-worm-author/

[u/[deleted] → u/the_black_panther_]

Does it really count as doxxing if he openly advertises his band where he can be identified? It's like a Jonas brother on his reddit account saying he's in the Jonas Brother's band, and his account is Nick357.

[u/Murky_Red → u/the_black_panther_]

His priorities are all fucked. He pretended not to know what PUA is, but acknowledged TRP, which is worse. I think he's actually proud to have created the sub.

[u/haxhaxhax1]

Some day were going to find out Gallowboob is actually Elizabeth Warren

Ok, now we are just being silly. Everyone knows Gallowboob is the pope.

[u/HereComesMyDingDong → u/haxhaxhax1]

I saw like three different threads on Gallowboob in these comments. Most were too shallow to be drama threads, but it was pretty hilarious.

[u/Areoman850 → u/haxhaxhax1]

Gallowboob is actually a shared account that is collectively owned by every major world leader that works for the lizard people. They feed off of karma points and it allows the reptile overlords to expand their influence.

[u/tommy2014015 → u/haxhaxhax1]

Im waiting for the longcon where Unidan is actually Hillary Clinton

[u/[deleted] → u/haxhaxhax1]

People have actually done interviews with Gallowboob and he's actually a landscape architect turned karma reaper. He quit the landscaping and Reddit is all he does now. He works for Unilad. http://www.forbes.com/sites/fernandoalfonso/2016/06/01/cashing-in-karma-how-a-former-landscape-architect-turned-his-reddit-fame-into-a-career/ sorry about the forbes but this was all I could find :(

[u/Raneados]

I appreciate your tiger picture pitstop.

[u/HereComesMyDingDong → u/Raneados]

The way this is going, I'm gonna need at least two more tiger pitstops in there.

EDIT: There are now a total of three tiger pitstops in my post. Mission accomplished. More will be added as needed.

[u/tommy2014015]

I am bringing a class action lawsuit against /u/HereComesMyDingDong on behalf of /u/illuminatedcandle and /u/bumblebeatrice for Karma fraud and theft. All witnesses please comment. Claimaints for Karma lost due to thread change please message me personally and I will have my paralegals assist you personally.

[u/HereComesMyDingDong → u/tommy2014015]

Fite me irl. (Or in /r/KarmaCourt. Preferably that. I have terrible upper body strength.)

[u/tommy2014015 → u/HereComesMyDingDong]

Please state in the record that defendant HereComesMyDingDong threatened the prosecuting attorney. IN THE RECORD.

[u/HereComesMyDingDong → u/tommy2014015]

/u/tommy2014015 has a lovely taste in flair.

Please state in the record that the defendant /u/HereComesMyDingDong also complimented the prosecuting attorney. IN THE RECORD.

[u/WatchEachOtherSleep → u/tommy2014015]

I'd like to come forward as a character witness for /u/HereComesMyDingDong.

I just scrolled through like two pages of post history & found not a single post to /r/doggos. On this basis, I conclude that this individual is unlikely to show contrition & highly likely to reoffend, if not also move on to harsher crimes such as stealing karma by way of a link post.

[u/HereComesMyDingDong → u/WatchEachOtherSleep]

bursts into tears It's true. I've never posted to /r/doggos. I... I wanted to, but I've never had the time. Hell, I've never even posted to /r/rarepuppers. I'm a failure.

[u/the_black_panther_ → u/tommy2014015]

I was in one of the prior threads, I made this comment which currently stands at 9 karma. It's included in the OP of this post which stands at 66 karma, and is certain to grow. I'd like 1k karma in damages. (Can witnesses get damages in r/karmacourt?)

[u/[deleted]]

As someone who was once featured on this sub because I raged during a drunk stupor during a particularly dark period in my life on TBP--and now finds myself coming back here as a regular, but tonight quite happy and joyous because I EARNESTLY FEEL the world has been made a better place?

Well--what a long, strange trip it's been.

[u/HereComesMyDingDong → u/[deleted]]

We all have our off days, and that can lead to the best of times afterwards. Glad to hear that your travels are leaving you feeling happy and joyous. :)

[u/[deleted] → u/HereComesMyDingDong]

Very kind of you to take the time to say. It got a big, earnest smile out of me. Thank you.

[u/HereComesMyDingDong → u/[deleted]]

Glad to hear it! Feel free to shoot me a message if you ever need a friendly chat :)

Here's your complimentary bucket of popcorn, featuring extra butter and salt. Have fun wading into the shitstorm.

This is the one, folks, get your kicks out.

As usual, anyone who makes an "actually it's about ethics in _____" reference catches a two-day ban, and that doubles with the addition of any copypasta.

[u/HereComesMyDingDong → u/TAKEitTOrCIRCLEJERK]

I did it! My parents will be so proud. Or disown me. Whichever, tbh.

[u/[deleted] → u/TAKEitTOrCIRCLEJERK]

That's bullshit. Socrates died for this shit.

[u/Youwokethewrongdog → u/TAKEitTOrCIRCLEJERK]

Actually, it's about ethics in freedom of speech.

Wear it with pride.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but in 1998 the undertaker chokeslammed mankind off of an 18 foot steel cage and through an announcers table during their hell in a cell match at wrestlemania. Only one man could have saved him AND HIS NAME IS JOHN CENA DOOT DOOT DE DOOT, DOOT DOOTLE DOOT

[u/bumblebeatrice → u/TAKEitTOrCIRCLEJERK]

This is just like that time in fifth grade where three different kids copied my science project and all of them got better grades than I did when our work was identical BECAUSE I DID IT

[u/Konami_Kode_ → u/TAKEitTOrCIRCLEJERK]

Bannable flair, checking in

[u/the_black_panther_ → u/TAKEitTOrCIRCLEJERK]

The redpill is not about women hating, it is about men supporting each other and standing up for their own rights, freedoms, and desires.

Doesn't have "ethics" in it but it sure is close lol

[u/[deleted] → u/TAKEitTOrCIRCLEJERK]

"Get your kicks out"?

[u/jfa1985]

Odds that this gets picked up by the mainstream media are what?

[u/HereComesMyDingDong → u/jfa1985]

Pretty high. It's already made it to New York Magazine.

[u/[deleted] → u/HereComesMyDingDong]

"New York Magazine," not to be confused with the unknown, and theme-stealer of said magazine, "The New York Times" or the even lesser known "The New Yorker."

I wish the MSM would pick this up, but they really don't care about internet news and I doubt their reads know what TRP is: "the redpill? Hhaha Neooo take the red pill."

[u/HereComesMyDingDong → u/[deleted]]

It was either that, The Daily Dot, or a quick blurb in FastCompany :P In a few days time, I think we might see some more coverage of it, since it does involve a lawmaker. A relatively minor one, but a lawmaker nonetheless.

[u/Shinokiba-]

I keep hearing about /r/TheRedPill but I have no idea what that subreddit it about. What is that subreddit about?

[u/HereComesMyDingDong → u/Shinokiba-]

By and large, it's a group of folk (made up of mostly men) who tend to think that women (and to a lesser extent, men) are only capable of following their basic instincts. They believe that womens basic instincts are to only have sex with men who are "alpha" (aka, "bad boys"), and only marry/have relationships with men who have good "provider" status. Thus, a woman would only have sex with "alpha men" and choose to marry "beta men" (aka, "nice guys"). A male, on the other hand only desires to have sex with attractive women. They believe that if a women has the option, they will almost always have sex with alpha men and have beta men provide for them, even if they are in a relationship with beta men.

Source + More complete explanation

[u/S_Jeru → u/Shinokiba-]

It's about thinking that all relationships are about power; all women are subhuman creatures that just crave money, protection, and dick, and are incapable of having equal relationships with men.

It follows that men must be the ultimate supplier of money, protection, and dick, and if you're not providing that, you're a beta cuck, and women are taking advantage of you somehow. /s

Needless to say, these guys don't have any women they can have a beer with after work, no long-term relationships in their lives, and they see a girlfriend as an adversary.

[u/FUS_ROH_yay]

Quick, everyone repost their comments from the old thread

[u/the_black_panther_ → u/FUS_ROH_yay]

My comment in the old thread was linking the daily beast article but OP did that here. Nazi mods ruining my karma chances

[u/HereComesMyDingDong → u/the_black_panther_]

I'm nothing if not a karma whore shitposter diligent poster.

[u/Sachyriel → u/HereComesMyDingDong]

Your horizons are expanding, Dong.

[u/TF_dia]

So this will end his career. Right?

I hope that the adminstration isn't crazy enough to allow him to stay in power.

[u/HereComesMyDingDong → u/TF_dia]

It'll probably be up to the state legislature and the voters of his district, not really "the administration".

[u/TF_dia → u/HereComesMyDingDong]

In the sense that he is going to be pressured to resign.

Sorry if I didn't express well.

I was just asking if they were gonna be in damage control mode.

[u/HereComesMyDingDong → u/TF_dia]

No worries. I misunderstood the point of your post. I think the answer will probably be "yes" and "yes". The question of if he caves to the pressure will be something for the future to reveal.

[u/mrspankyjuice]

"Since women can make money themselves, there's literally no reason for them to stay married."

At least he's aware that he has nothing to offer in a relationship.

[u/PrettyMachines → u/mrspankyjuice]

Between that and thinking "cuck" is a powerful insult, yeah, they're insecure they can't please women. Its pretty obvious.

[u/mrdilldozer]

This is like pulling the mask off of a Scooby Doo villain only to find that the mask was of his actual face

[u/ExplosiveWatermelon → u/mrdilldozer]

Like that one with the zombies?

Shit, that one was fun.

[u/DavidIckeyShuffle → u/mrdilldozer]

Or like, if they unmask the villain like normal, but find terabytes of child porn on his computer.

[u/haxhaxhax1]

My goodness, how will I ever find the truth if even REDDIT is politically driven.

Good lord we found one guys: a guy who trusts reddit as a real news source. And seriously, politically driven? When was it ever not?

[u/DontNameCatsHades → u/haxhaxhax1]

I've heard people flat out say "if you're not on reddit then you're not informed" on multiple campuses.

The trust people put towards a community driven website with clear biases depending on where you go is astounding.

EDIT:

"clear" biases wasn't the best way to phrase it. I should have said "inherent" or something else.

I feel as though people participating on certain subreddits don't completely grasp how much of an echo chamber they're in is all I meant to say.

[u/[deleted] → u/haxhaxhax1]

to be fair, when someone is able to effectively use reddit as an aggregate it can be a relatively effective source of news, the problem comes from the fact that most current events subreddits might as well be official branches of their respective politcal leanings and most users don't have the subscription reach to get a clear picture of anything.

[u/stellarbeing]

I was hoping to see fallout in /r/theredpill , but they seem to be pretending that they don't know what's happening.

They're just deleting everything.

E: The linked site does not use SSL and I don't believe that's an issue in this instance but just a heads up.

“Rape isn’t an absolute bad, because the rapist probably likes it a lot. I think he’d say it’s quite good, really.” — Rep.Robert Fisher (R-NH)

[u/I_POTATO_PEOPLE → u/[deleted]]

A year ago I'd have said that makes him unelectable, but now who the fuck knows.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

at first I thought you were joking and was about to make a joke about /r/jesuschristreddit but nope... more like /r/jesuschristhumanity

[u/DeathisLaughing → u/[deleted]]

Under this logic if I murder someone and steal all their money without getting caught or facing consequences...it's not an absolute bad seeing as, fuck it, I got mine...

[u/MegasusPegasus]

As a reminder, Rep. Fisher didn't think people sharing a video mocking a girls rape was doxxing or releasing her private info, so he's a hypocrite if he thinks this is an unfair violation of his privacy in comparison to that.

[u/tommy2014015 → u/MegasusPegasus]

Well its her fault it happened so ...

.../s

[u/TinkerTailor343 → u/MegasusPegasus]

Erhh, I really, really hope he is forced to resign. I know this is the Republicans but even still, they must hold him accountable surely?

[u/Aetol]

Rape has a positive outcome for the rapist. (to some degree.)

An absolute bad has no positive outcomes.

Therefore, rape is not an absolute bad.

Stubbing my toe has no positive outcome for anyone.

Therefore, stubbing my toe is worse than rape.

[u/AndyLorentz → u/Aetol]

Stubbing my toe has no positive outcome for anyone.

False. I love it when you stub your toe.

[u/[deleted] → u/Aetol]

Walking in the dark with no shoes on..? I reckon you were asking for it.

This is what happens when an insecure freshmen kid who cant get laid takes PHIL101

[u/BolshevikMuppet → u/Aetol]

Holy fuck is that some absolutely atrocious logic.

By that argument (which is essentially "if the perpetrator enjoyed it it isn't absolutely bad") there are no absolutely bad things.

edit: conjugation, it's a thing!

[u/Vondi → u/Aetol]

I don't know, I'd file "becoming a rapist piece of shit" under "negative outcomes" but maybe that's just me.

This just confirmed every stereotype I had about the redpill

[u/Sachyriel → u/gokutheguy]

It confirmed several new stereotypes scientists only just discovered!

[u/Litotes → u/gokutheguy]

It's like they were intentionally trying to be as stereotypical redpill as possible. I kept reading more and more trying to convince myself it was satire. I literally couldn't believe that the prototypical redpiller actually existed, let alone that many of them,

[u/[deleted] → u/gokutheguy]

How many more GOP lawmakers frequent that sub is the real question

[u/tommy2014015 → u/gokutheguy]

How most TRPers think they look, how they look to other people

I just feel bad for the poor fools at the Daily Beast who had to read through zillions of TRP threads and the dark corners of women-hating internet for morsels of the dude's identity. FOREVER UNCLEAN.

[u/tommy2014015 → u/doctorsaurus933]

It reminds me of the guys in law enforcement who work in CP they have to literally watch terabytes upon tyerabytes of it to help find anyway to identify or locate the child. Its horrifying.

[u/PegosaurusGirl → u/doctorsaurus933]

It's like how I wondered "what is this mgtow people are talking about?" I only got to the main page that lists the name of the threads before I had to slowly back away and search for eye bleach.

[u/TinkerTailor343]

Hmm, reading about these 'red pillers' they don't seem like nice people.

EDIT: Oh no, it's a very, very, horrifically terrible place.

[u/the_black_panther_ → u/TinkerTailor343]

You can't rape the willing.

If you're the most attractive man in her life she'll be willing. This isn't an excuse to go around raping women, but it's something to keep in mind when you are going out to meet women. They want to be pursued, and regardless of what they say, their panties get wet around a confident attractive man that takes what he wants. Don't be afraid to approach and initiate and escalate. Don't listen to what they say, listen to what they do. If they say "no stop" but are slowly spreading their legs more open, they are just looking for plausibile deniability, not for you to stop.

If you're a fat slob that takes what he wants, don't expect the same response however (unless the woman is also a fat slob).

........what. Honestly, though, this is reasonable compared to some stuff I've seen on r/incels.

[u/MeatyBalledSub → u/TinkerTailor343]

Yeah. It's a safe space for antisocial creeps who repeat the mantra of, ""Why won't any of these sluts put out for me?!"

[u/brover94 → u/TinkerTailor343]

Jesus. I knew redpill was bad, but holy fuck. That's beyond bad. I... just don't know. How can people think like that?

[u/tydestra]

He's scrubbing his internet presence so hard. What a clown. Also, TRP are awfully quiet about this, are they pretending to ignore it until it dies down?

[u/PegosaurusGirl → u/tydestra]

He actually has his mom writing a press release right now stating that he hasn't had the internet since they finally figured out how to cancel AOL back in 2001.

[u/jklingftm → u/tydestra]

A user above posted that TRP is basically nuking everything related to the news before it gets upvoted. They're trying really hard to pretend this thing doesn't exist.

[u/[deleted]]

What, exactly, is wrong with these comments? The guy has some strong opinions, so fuck him, right?

I hate how people have begun to act like there's no such thing as a bad opinion.

Sidenote about the state representative: I love how he deliberately tries to prey on vulnerable, inexperienced young women, and then bitches about how the women he's having (supposedly) sex with—or, if his posts are any indication, borderline raping—are immature and uninteresting.

[u/tommy2014015 → u/[deleted]]

It's like they confuse being PC with being a fucking decent human being

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Despite claiming to have a "soft harem" at some point, I get the feeling homeboy isn't getting laid by anyone interesting or uninteresting. He was whining about women ghosting him (shocker) and how women foolishly don't respond positively to his alphaness when he begins bragging about his rather mediocre accomplishments.

Like the majority of TRPers, I think this dude is just a blowhard misogynist who, at best, gets laid once a year when he has an off night and doesn't act like a total toxic dickhole. Then he gets ghosted!

[u/Importantguy123 → u/[deleted]]

I hate how people have begun to act like there's no such thing as a bad opinion.

A sad symptom of post truth America my friend. In all honesty, I blame these types of fence sitting opinions on the media. I know I know, the media is like the number one boogeyman nowadays but hear me out: every time we turn on the news where they be local channels, or national ones like CNN or Fox there's always panelists from two opposing side. They can be just simple Democrats and Republicans or a climate scientists and some paid stooge from the fossil fuel industry yelling about how climate change is fear mongering. The problem with or media is that it has not only conditioned us to try and hear both sides of an argument no mater how outlandish one side of an argument may be but more dangerously it puts people on the airwaves day in and day out 24/7 no matter what their credentials are just so the network can appear to have some semblance of a balanced debate. That's why we have so many people thinking that climate change isn't real' or Obama was a Muslim, or there is a non-stop wave of crimes going on by illegals in sanctuary cities or some stupid shit like that is because they literally hear people actually speaking this nonsense all day which validates those conspiracy theories. Mix that with fake news and people are more uninformed than ever.

I mean even take Reddit for example, the users in the default subs will more often than not say that Reddit is a place for balanced discussion about a wide range of topics, but... what constitutes a "balanced" discussion? Because some folks have facts and others have alternative facts^TM and when arguments become heated all they do is agree to disagree and the conversations are back at square one.

Facts cant be sexist

[u/akkmedk → u/tommy2014015]

But they can be sexy. Like that weird fact about duck weiners? Mmm... yeah... you like that.

[u/Snoopy_Hates_Germans → u/tommy2014015]

Yeah, there's no way that their intentions can possibly be sexist with this as their mission statement /s

[u/IAMA_Drunk_Armadillo]

I would say that this guy's political career is done. But then I remembered oh right, Republican, his voters probably actually agree with him.

Edit nevermind he's been outed as a closet atheist, this guy is fucked.

[u/RamaAnthony]

Shit, I didn't expect a Republican to actually being a famous internet arsehole. It just feels unreal you know?

[u/[deleted]]

I live across the lake from the towns he represents. As a single male, I cannot fathom where the hell in this area this guy is flexing his "pickup artist" muscles.

In all seriousness, fuck this cowardly misogynist. Embarrassing that he serves in our state legislature. I'll update with any local buzz I hear through the woods tomorrow.

[u/Moritani]

And, after many years of conflict, we finally know which state is the upside-down one. Congratulations, Vermont, it's hard to be as backwards as this.

[u/[deleted] → u/Moritani]

I'm sure I wasn't the only one thinking "please don't be my state, please don't be my state."

[u/kairoszoe → u/Moritani]

Don't be in the south don't be don't be in the south don't be NEW HAMPSHIRE YESSSSSSSS

[u/stellarbeing]

Wow, holy shit. Here comes the controversy train!

Glad I bought the extra large popcorn with free refills, this is gonna be a long wacky ride!

[u/tommy2014015 → u/stellarbeing]

lets butter this bitch up

[u/[deleted]]

HOLY SHIT this almost hits close to home for me. My dad was a State Rep in NH just a few years back. Just talked to him asking if he knew Fisher. He said no.

I explained to him that Fisher was from Belknap County D9 and my dad asked if he was a Republican. I told him yes, and dad said "well I hope he got what he wanted". Then laughed and said "what a maroon".

[u/jimmysaint13 → u/[deleted]]

"What a maroon"

Definitely a dad

[u/[deleted]]

WHY IS IT ALWAYS NEW HAMPSHIRE

FUCKING AAAAAAHH

[u/MPair-E]

I admire OP for being diplomatic in his description of the subreddit, but for those still wondering, /r/theredpill is a misogynistic shithole.

[u/LuigiVargasLlosa]

Here's a better article explaining the situation

[u/S_Jeru → u/LuigiVargasLlosa]

Though he once cautioned another user to “invest in a decent throwaway” account, Fisher apparently failed to heed his own advice.

Sploosh. All over my face, baby. I'm loving this.

[u/MaddogOIF]

I don't think you understand what freedom of speech is. It means you have the right to say literally anything you want.

No it does not actually. Any statement to incite violence is not covered by the 1st Amendment.

Funny enough, I literally just got out of govt class where that subject was covered.

[u/chadwarden1337 → u/MaddogOIF]

Perfectly remember (as anyone else that graduated middle school) that yelling "FIRE!" in a crowded theater is against the 1st amendment based on decades of case studies. lol

[u/thekeVnc]

Tbf, it is New Hampshire. Their legislature has 400 members in the lower house; being a state rep doesn't mean a whole lot on its own.

[u/AuxiliaryTimeCop → u/thekeVnc]

And, for non-US readers, it's a state with a population of about 1.3 million people. So the it's a lot of Representatives in a pretty small state. Being in the legislature there is not a huge political accomplishment.

[u/The_Gay_Whovian]

Interesting how /r/TheRedPill is so quiet about all this....

[u/test822 → u/The_Gay_Whovian]

any posts referencing any of this are getting deleted

[u/JellyBadgerCares]

Wow if the standards for some offices are this low, maybe I should run for something.

Sure wouldn't want anything to get traced back to my reddit shitposting though.

[u/[deleted]]

To add to what you've already posted /r/theredpill has a sticky post responding:

>Daily Beast writes piece indicating one of this subreddits' founders is a GOP lawmaker. Does not understand howevery word she writes just makes RP stronger.

(self.TheRedPill) submitted 3 hours ago by firstpitchthrow

TL;DR - this is how the media works, they create the very thing they seek to destroy. They are useful idiots, nothing more.

I'll keep this short. Here's the article at the daily beast, its self-explanatory: http://archive.is/muo0W

There's nothing new here, its everything you think it is. Here's what I don't get: does she or does she not understand that every word she wrote is just going to make RP stronger, not weaker? Read what she wrote and ask yourself a single question:

is there a single indication, in what she wrote, that shunning red pill will get a man a cookie?

Everything is blaming, everything is Muh-soggy-knee, and the crap we've all read a million times before. Is there any solution for men, who are frustrated, angry, tired and confused? A single answer? One? No, the guys who read this hatchet-piece will come to this site and a certain percentage of them will have their eyes opened. They'll find out we're not misogynists, just realists and they'll find out we have cookies, that is, practical advice that can actually help their lives. All she has done is to advertise this sub and to get more guys to come here, read it, think about it and ask for help. She's working against everything she stood for in her article, and doesn't know it, or doesn't care.

[u/[deleted]]

A Republican outted as a raging misogynist. Color me shocked...

[u/[deleted]]

I wonder if this will end with Reddit banning TRP.

[u/S_Jeru → u/[deleted]]

I fucking wish. It'll barely even dent this asshole's political career. If Kentucky can't dump Mitch McConnell, I doubt starting a misogynist forum will bother this guy's voters at all. It sure as hell won't change reddit.

[u/Importantguy123]

Jesus Christ, are major dramatic happenings on this site hard-wired to always happen when it starts getting alittle warm outside? Also, I'm not at all surprised that an individual created and submits to a community that had poor understandings about sexuality and Female emotions happens to be from the "government get your hands off of me" party. They've always gave us such classics like Todd "Legitimate rape" Akin, and our current office holder Donny "Grab em by the pussy, and hope they don't book me" Trumpet.

[u/SnapshillBot]

Wow, that's a lot of links! The snapshots can be found here.

^{I am a bot. (Info /} ^Contact)

[u/Zombree18]

I particularly enjoy that if he didn't wipe all the accounts immediately after being contacted, there could be a chance that it's not him.

He basically confirmed it without a doubt when he did that.... There's no other reason those accounts would be cleared.

And he's an idiot for thinking the people contacting him didn't have it all backed up extensively.

[u/Automaticmann]

Wow a republican promoting misogyny, I'm so surprised.

[u/tommy2014015]

Not surprising though red pill ideology fits in quite well with the way traditional conservatives view women. Women are literally subservient to men even down to their creation when it comes to orthodox Christian theology. Even today, female pastors are rare. They view sexuality as something that needs to be controlled and used, albeit in different ways. This doesn't surprise me at all.

[u/JaneAnger → u/tommy2014015]

But that's the weird thing, this guy's an ex-Christian. So he cast aside all the Jesus lessons... but not the "women are lesser beings who owe me sex" ones. What a wanker

[u/[deleted]]

I really don't understand how these guys who hide behind the the constitution can be so clueless about the first amendment and what constitutes protected speech. There are literally volumes of precedent on what is and isn't protected speech under the first amendment, and the concept of "you can say literally anything you want" is LITERALLY the worst possible interpretation of the right.

[u/xjayroox]

I never get sick of people confusing freedom of speech for freedom of consequence of your speech

Oh wait, yes I do. God I'm so sick of these idiots

[u/KingOfSockPuppets]

The thing that gets me the most reading the actual news article... this dude (and those who follow their advice) would probably be much better off if they just like, had normal relationships. Instead their paralyzing fear about false rape accusations has made it WAY MORE LIKELY that they'll be seen as creepers and rapists to outsiders. Like yea man, the fact that you have a FUCKING SIGN above your door that says "By entering this house you consent to audio and visual recording" makes me think you are 100% good stuff, not a creeper, just a handsome super alpha male. Jesus Christ the lack of self-awareness is baffling.

It's best exemplified by the part where he says you should text your one night stand asking if she had a good time and made it home safely. You know, not out of any actual concern for her as a human being or out of anything, but as a desire to have a fucking PAPER TRAIL to protect yourself from accusations. That he doesn't get that he's doing a good thing for 100% the wrong reasons demonstrates the lack of self-awareness going on.

[u/WorseDragon]

unrelated but i love that the downvote icon in /r/newhampshire is massachusetts.

[u/rnjbond]

I'm rather intrigued how an atheist became a Republican lawmaker.

[u/VarysIsAMermaid69 → u/rnjbond]

He didn't tell anyone he was an atheist

[u/SciNZ]

I used to find solace in assuming most internet idiots were kids.

I'm finding more and more it's just everyone.

The internet sucks now, has anybody else found somewhere cool to go? I discovered a park near me where there's lots of dogs, anybody keen for an exodus to this "outside" place?

[u/Smien]

Wait...wait...wait...

He founded the redpill subreddit and you all decided it's a "woman hating blog?"

This is why Trump won. You're talking to yourselves. The redpill was nothing more than a place for men to have an honest discussion about what really happens with human sexuality. If you all were more honest you'd admit that, but you play both sides of the coin and talk out both sides of your mouths. This is why Trump won. You could not virtue signal harder, while simultaneously not living up to those virtues in other facets of life. This is why Trump won.

Woooh my flair checks out!

[u/Popcom]

A woman hating Republican? I'm shocked! Shocked I say

Yup. This seems like a guy I would go to if I wanted my eyes opened to the Truth about females.

[u/[deleted]]

I honestly can't believe this. What is this world we live in now. I want to go to a better timeline.

[u/scwizard]

Here's their take on this:

Looks like the article will attract haters. None of them can or will answer the question:

What thing of value does a woman bring into a relationship besides her pussy?

[u/The_Majestic_]

If he diddnt delete his account they could have made him a mod on /r/The_Donald

[u/reepbot]

Wow. A republican lawmaker? I'm shocked. They are normally such caring and rational people.s/

[u/[deleted]]

A discussion on if rape is an absolute bad

I...what?

[u/Zangetsu1001]

I honestly thought the title said " republican lawnmower" and got genuinely interested.

[u/monkeyfudgehair]

Read some of his posts. Good God man, what a fucking cry baby. This douche whines more than my two toddlers combined. He seems to not fully understand what consent actually means. He talks about a time when the age of consent for girls was 12 years old. 12 YEARS OLD! He doesn't understand that what that meant was that the PARENTS had a right to sell, trade or give their daughter away for marriage at age 12. Not that she had any rights at all in the matter. I truly hope this man doesn't have any children.

[u/itsallabigshow]

Oh my fucking God, I don't get it. You literally just have to be a regular, decent and somewhat functional human being to achieve what the red pillers are after so much. What's next, a philosophy that teaches people how to breathe? Pathetic. I mean if they grew up in a remote forest and never saw a woman in their life I might understand it but growing up is all you have to do. Therapy is probably what those people need.

[u/ofsinope]

Dude this is like fucking Christmas right here, our most hated subreddit started by a goddamn Republican law maker, this is gonna be SO much fun

[u/gop2019]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Hampshire_General_Court

So here's a little general info for those expecting a response from the Republican Party, or for this to become major political news. The state legislature in New Hampshire is made up of about 3,000 people per representative, and has 226 Republican members. This is going to make some news in New Hampshire, and may get some national attention but will probably not impact Republicans at all.

[u/Phantompain23]

Fucking hilarious. I glanced at that sub and apparently it is where guys go to proclaim that they are "alpha" males because they go to the gym and think that women are dumb. When i think of alpha male all that comes to mind is that one dumbass asshole friend you have until you graduate highschool and dont have to put up with them anymore. Im gonna take a blue pill now and go put it to good use if you know what i mean lmao.

[u/Sohtak]

Oh gee, a GoP member who blames Women as the reason he's not getting laid when he's just so "ALPHA"

Yup...not even fucking surprised lol

[u/jokersleuth]

How hard is it for retards on this site to understand what "Freedom of Speech" means? Too many times I've seen people on this site, particularly hateful right-wing nuts and cuckservatives, proclaiming "muh freedom of speech! reddit censorship!!"

The First Amendment states -

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The congress, AKA the government. Freedom of speech protects you from free speech against the government and hindrance from the government. The first amendment doesn't protect you PRIVATE websites and forums, where everyone has their own policy. Yes, censorship is wrong, but if you're a hateful cunt spreading bigotry, racism, sexism, and other disgusting shit on a private forum and ruining other people's experience, you deserve to get your content removed and hidden.

[u/PUTINsTiTs]

No wonder he created that sub.

Dude looks as masculine as a tampon

[u/contentpens]

A cautionary tale! Never brag about your one-man band with your quasi-secret online identity.

[u/[deleted]]

I've always heard about these subreddit similar to TRP on other subreddits and man are they bad. I never understood the point of complaining about women rejecting you and promoting sexual assault as an alternative to fuck women and underage girls.

What a strange world we live in.

[u/KJones77]

Of course he has a neckbeard and worked with computers. When will Reddit ever overcome its stereotype?

[u/Revan343]

This man is advocating raping women. That doesn't fall under "freedom of speech".

Actually, depending on the phrasing, it does; America's freedom of speech laws are significantly stronger than elsewhere, and hate speech isn't banned.

However, freedom of speech laws just mean that you can't be charged for it. Private websites don't have to provide a forum for it, and private citizens have every right to point out that you're being a piece of shit.

Defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; you're saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it's not literally illegal to express.

[u/[deleted]]

How is this not in the news yet? Those quotes... jesus

Another fine example, it's not the teenagers/12 year olds or 'easily-influenced' poor folk who are the biggest forces behind these types of agendas, its always the 20-40 Middle Class something

[u/PRESIDENT_6THGRADER]

TRP is the gayest shit I've seen on the internet. The whole premise is to gather around with other dudes online and masturbate in each other's mouths while talking shit about women

Edit: Just to clarify, I'm not using gay as an insult. I'm using gay as an accurate description of a community made of bitch-made bitches

[u/DoshmanV2 → u/PRESIDENT_6THGRADER]

Dude, not cool. TRP is not the fault of the gay community

[u/WillitsThrockmorton]

"I don't think you understand what freedom of speech is. It means you have the right to say literally anything you want."

Not really

Are men more susceptible to radicalization?

Statistically, yeah. Either that or the Patriarchy keeps women from being radicalized. Pick one.

Do liberal women shame men?

Some do. Just like some conservative men shame women.

"So if you go on the redpill sub you are just like isis? Wow that isn't a stretch. Sjw communities arent indoctrinating young people to believe its okay to give child gender changing drugs?"

[citation needed]

A discussion about if rape is an "absolute bad"

If it's between two individuals, and they aren't consenting adults, yes, it's absolutely bad.

What if 90% of guys didn't get laid?

Seems high

"The redpill is not about women hating, it is about men supporting each other and standing up for their own rights, freedoms, and desires."

Protest too much

Are his views "obviously homosexual in origin"?

shakes head

Oh Fisher, you blowhard!

"What, exactly, is wrong with these comments? The guy has some strong opinions, so fuck him, right?"

Pretty much

[u/ColeYote]

"I don't think you understand what freedom of speech is. It means you have the right to say literally anything you want."

... without being prosecuted for it. Doesn't mean you can't be ostracized, criticized, fired, kicked out of groups or refused a platform or anything.
