Roosh V’s followers posted my details online after I criticised him
He’s calling it a ‘counter-operation’ against ‘the enemy’
“Neo-masculinist” Roosh V and his supporters have posted the personal details of journalists who criticise him online.
After writing an article regarding Roosh’s planned meet-up in Leeds, I have been included on the list – along with my Twitter, my Facebook and even my photo.
Labelled “Operation Bullhorn”, Roosh has described the list as his “first counter-operation” – saying: “We’re going after the root of the problem.”
Roosh has posted asking his supporters, Return of the Kings, to locate all articles written containing the claim that they support rape and harm against women.
It is claimed that Roosh’s pro-rape article was clearly satire, and that the Return of the Kings community has helped men who were previously invisible to women find success.
I was alerted to my presence on the list when I received a message request on Facebook from a stranger alerting me to the fact.
The forum has now been set to private, with signups only being permitted on the first of every month.
Followers are being asked to collect the name of reporter, the media outlet, city of residence, Twitter, Facebook, and a photo.
The list also includes journalists from the Sydney Morning Herald, the Guardian, and the Telegraph.
One forum user said the backlash was “because women are scared that they won’t be able to get a free lunch anymore by virtue of having a vagina.”
The user continued: “Meanwhile their white knight beta bitch soldiers are there at their beck and call to fight their battles for them.
“How incompetent are journalists that they can’t get this ‘pro-rape’ thing right? I don’t believe it’s actually incompetency. It’s more like willful ignorance.”
Roosh’s supporters now plan to use mine and other journalist’s details to get us in “hot water”.
Roosh announced this morning that Saturday’s planned meetups had been cancelled, because he “can no longer guarantee the safety or privacy of the men who want to attend.”
