It’s Twitter Thursday here on We Hunted the Mammoth! Which is my way of saying that I spent last night poking around in the Twitterings of some of the A Voice for Men crowd. And I’ve decided that, as much as I enjoy Judgy B’s passive-aggressive evasiveness and schoolyard taunts, I think I like Dean Esmay’s tweets better.
Why? Because he tweets as if at any moment his head might literally explode.
Let’s take a look, shall we, at this selection of tweets from Mr. Esmay I gathered up last night. I have taken the liberty of highlighting some, well, let’s just call them recurring motifs.
I was sort of thinking that “Bigots Usually Laugh When Their Hate Is Shown” could be the title of the second volume in the Dean Esmay Story.
U mad bro?
Oh, one more. I just like that in one tweet, he talks about “gendercide” being committed against men. And then two tweets later he calls someone a bigot for saying that violence is gendered.
I would also like to point out that all of these tweets were tweeted in the last ten days. I can only wonder how many hatemongering bigots he says bye bye to in a year.
I’m confused, I thought Esmay was a thinner, Greg Proops-like man with a bad tie.Who is this rotund mountain man like jerk?
He’s like a slightly less creative version of the NK News insult generator.

You politically illiterate philistine, we will mercilessly crush you with the weapon of singlehearted unity!
What I’m not understanding:
Elam criticises the appearance of his critics.
His whipping boy is fat with a receding hairline, wears silly ties and short pants.
I couldn’t give a hoot what these guys look like. Why does Paul apply different standards to himself and his people than those with whom he is not biffles though? Could it be because he’s a giant fucking hypocrite? Mebbe.
@Ken L
Wow, I don’t hear a lot of Greg Proops shout outs, what’s he up to lately?
In terms of physical appearance, Esmay’s most noticeable characteristics are his thin hair, pastiness, questionable facial hair and nervous energy. Nothing wrong with that, I have all those qualities myself except for the facial hair, though I’m a snappier dresser than Deano. You may be thinking of a different MRA though, because he doesn’t look much like Proops.
What a bright ray of sunshine he is! /snark
Can’t imagine what kind of shitty world he lives in; but I’m certainly glad I don’t live there.
I’m kinda with you on this… he looks nothing like his avatar in the interview he was in recently, the one with the notorious extra long tie. Is it just a shave and different glasses? Really? Am I just confused too?
I feel like I’d recognize Elam if I ever saw him in real life, but is Esmay some kind of freaking chameleon?
Because campaigns of terror is about all the “activism” MRAs can manage?
I saw a man last week who looked like him, and I nearly stopped in my tracks. But this was in Boston and he was volunteering in an animal shelter, so obviously it wasn’t Elam. I feel sorry for the poor lookalike.
I LOL’d at the CSS.
His avatar must be years old. Just look at the difference in hairlines.
They work on false rape cases, eh? Gee, I wonder what that entails. Doxxing and harassing rape victims? Publishing a leaked Title IX complaint with the names of the accused parties redacted and the names of the victims intact?? YES, THOSE FUCKERS ACTUALLY DID THAT. What a massive invasion of privacy to have intimate details of three assaults splashed across the internet. I emailed the organization who is handling the case; they hadn’t known and said they’d inform the survivors. I wish they sue AVFM’s sorry asses.
Isn’t that contempt of court? Even if this was a civil case, rather than criminal, I though it would still be under a judge and contempt rules would apply.
But I’m not a lawyer and have studied no law papers so /shrug
@pallygirl
I have no idea how it works. I read somewhere that when the DoE makes Title IX complaints public, they redact information like that so as not to violate the privacy of the complainants.
At first I was like “wtf is gendercide?”. Then I remembered how these assholes think and I’m guessing it means women won’t reproduce with them.
Was Desmay warming up for the press conference with these tweets? (That’s today, isn’t it?)
Also – I love his avatar pic. It’s misleading, bc it makes him look like this really nice, laid back dude who’d take you for rides on his motorcycle and be fun at a BBQ. Always reminds me of Bob Seger, for some reason, and then I get ‘Night Moves’ in my head. Then I hear him in a video and I’m like nooooooooo, no BBQ’s for you, go away go away.
@faint praise
Didn’t somegreybloke point out that the red pill seems to cause irrational anger and hatred?
Integral, “gendercide” is the secret feminist plot to destroy all teh menz with our WMT powered weapons of mass male gender specific destruction. You have to be either a top tier feminist able to survive wholly on the tears of men, which is about 37 levels above Dworkin, or an MRA conspiracy theorist to know about it, though.
You guys point out the outrage.
That’s what I found actually scary when listening to the audio of Esmay’s phone convo with SworeByThePrecious – how quickly he escalated his aggression, seemingly disproportionate to any stimulus that might’ve provoked it. And this guy’s supposed to be the “nice” face of AVfM? That call sounded for all the world like an abuser blaming his victim for making him angry…
A lot of the AVfM positions on things like “false rape” allegations and protests against their organisation seem to be not so much well-reason arguments as Argumentum ad baculum – we must be right, because bad things will happen to people we disagree with if we’re wrong. As if their flying monkeys doxxing and intimidating people into retracting rape allegations proves they were false – when being traumatised once by the rapist and again by their community and the legal system is more than enough for most women, without the woman-hating flying monkeys adding an extra layer of crap to the turd sandwich.
Well, I guess it’s a good thing his title isn’t “Editor”.
And here I thought Alan Dershowitz overused the word “bigot”.
I think he’s combed his hair forward in his avatar or is wearing a piece. He probably knows Paul would make fun of him if his receding hairline were exposed.
Maybe his avatar is just an old photo? Lots of people use younger versions of themselves for their online presence.
It just looks like an old photo to me. He looks a lot happier in that photo too, so my conclusion is that being involved in the manosphere is bad for men’s emotional wellbeing.
I know I do!
What a bummer though. The guy in the avatar looks like he eats chicken wings and gives high-fives. The real Deano just posts pissy tweets.
Avatar Esmay looks like someone you’d find drinking beer and singing along to Sweet Home Alabama in the backyard at a houseparty. Current version Esmay is someone I’d be willing to leave the party to avoid. If his involvement in the MRM is what’s responsible for turning him from A to B then yikes.
Yeah, I’d say that photo’s a good decade old.
