Almost universally despised pickup artist Roosh Valizadeh — you may know him from such hashtags as #RooshIsARapist and #RooshVOut — is declaring victory after apparently giving a talk in Toronto to a couple of dozen guys who are too embarrassed or cowardly to show their faces in public.
Yesterday, Roosh posted the picture above to his Twitter, complete with a newspaper to prove the date, black censor squares over the faces of alleged attendees who evidently don’t want anyone to know that they were part of Roosh’s great victory, and weird dark lines around his legs that make it look like he’s been pasted onto a random pic of some random dudes in a hotel conference room, but whatev, sometimes crappy pics are just crappy pics.
Assuming the pic is real, Roosh’s fans are apparently afraid that the dreaded #SJWs might do to them what Roosh and his pals have been energetically doing to any of Roosh’s enemies they have been able to identify. That is, doxxing and slandering them online. (Never mind that the only person with a public doxxiing operation here is Roosh.)
On Roosh’s forum, his anonymous fanboys celebrated Roosh’s alleged victory and their own alleged heroism. One poster, naming himself after an Ayn Rand hero, was so excited he couldn’t even type straight:
I was at the speech. I was at the Q&A. I was at the dinner. The feeling was electric all of us men, collectively, started to understand neomasculinity.. the what it feels like to be a neomasculinist. …
BRAVO Roosh, and congrats to my fellow brothers for such flawless execution of an exercise planned with military precision.
Another anonymous friend of Roosh offered his enthusiastic support:
Congratulations to everyone involved in the Battle of Montreal and Toronto.
This is a stunning victory for freedom of expression, and freedom of speech.
He went on to dis the dozens of people who actually showed up in public to protest Roosh’s speech. (You know, without black squares over their faces.)
These twisted individuals claim to be so collectively hurt, so vulnerable, and so down trodden…this latest protest was a perfect public demonstration of their collective mental illness, and their attempts to destroy any trace of strong masculinity left in the culture.
When you speak to them (especially the men), you realize how their spirit has been completely broken and warped by modern culture, outrage porn, and digital technology addiction. I found the men within this group far more pathetic than the females, which was amazing. I truly believe that the men present did not understand what they were protesting, but attempting to solicit attention for their own narcissistic goals.
I was honestly expecting them to begin burning a copy of George Orwell’s “1984,” and talk about how some “freedom of speech” shouldn’t be “free.” However, their protest was so feeble and limp wristed, it didn’t even have the energy of a four day old cup of coffee, sitting abandoned outside of a tim hortons rubbish bin.
Well, ok, Mr. Overextended Metaphor Man.
Another alleged attendee reported:
Words can’t really describe the feelings we all had following the lecture (my third, following Washington and New York and worth every penny). So many exceptional men and ideas were shared on Saturday and well into this morning. It was great to meet everyone in attendance and those who came out Friday night …
This is a testament to the discipline and drive of many strong willed, intelligent men who have learned game and who do not give up in the face of adversity.
“You went toe to toe with the universe, and you won,” added yet another guy who posts online under a pseudonym.
If by “won” he means “convinced hundreds of thousands of people in Canada and around the world what a creepy rapey asshole you are,” I guess Roosh did win.
Congratulations!
Still another declared:
I think RooshV could be the next president in the next 10-15 years.
Uh, the president of what?
And if you can’t think of a country that might possibly want to have Roosh running it, I have some suggestions.
@ Allan- dear god, I had escaped it. I was free!! For years, i was free!! You have damned me to hell, Alan Robertshaw. But I will have vengence:
“I was honestly expecting them to begin burning a copy of George Orwell’s “1984,” and talk about how some “freedom of speech” shouldn’t be “free.”
Okay. (puts on scholarly glasses.) First of all the line you are referring to Animal Farm not 1984. Secondly Orwell was a by definition a Social Justice warrior. Thirdly the correct line is “All Animals are equal but some are more equal than others.”
Does Roosh and his delusional pathetic fanboys declare it a monumental victory and historic achievement every time he takes a dump?
If if it is indeed photoshop I hope someone,somewhere recognizes when and where it was taken and posts the original unaltered image thus giving the world further proof of what a sad ,pathetic loser Roosh is.
I found the original source image:

C’mon Zeb! This is Roosh and Co. we’re talking about here. The guys who can’t wipe their own asses without whining and griping about how they only do it to get laid.
You can’t expect them to actually read and comprehend literature if it isn’t going to get them laid! Misandry!
This Ukranian talk show is one of the strangest things I’ve ever watched. All the slut shaming is making my head hurt too . . .
I can’t believe one of the women dismissed what another woman had to say about Roosh because her skirt was too short and she was wearing black stockings (and she was wearing the same thing!). They almost made Roosh seem like a reasonable individual, what the fuck?
Yeah, Roosh is too low resolution compared to the rest of the photo. Look at how blurry the (oddly-stained) newspaper is – you can barely read the headlines. Furthermore, how is that supposed to “prove” when the photo was taken, if you can’t even read the date? That could be a paper from last month, for all we know. Or maybe the paper itself was also shopped.
Also, everyone in the audience is engaged with listening to a speaker, so he chooses that moment to stand in the back and have a flash photo taken, rather than wait for the talk to be over? Seems douchey and disruptive, especially when he’s already overcharging people to be there.
I should point out, before I forget, that lifting up today’s edition of the Toronto Star isn’t necessarily proof that you’re in TO; the paper can be bought on newsstands nationwide. I’m really not sure of what point Roosh is trying to make, other than that he’s in a place where you can buy a nationally-available paper. He could still be holed up in Montréal, for all we know.
He posted more photos of the talk and says it was in Mississauga
On the bright side, it’s nice that someone’s buying newspapers these days. It’s just a shame that, with this photo, “miscreants trying to establish the date” is now a good 8% of the market share.
Showing up at a place to do a thing is a plan executed with ‘military precision?’ These Gamergater, MRA, neoNazis really love dropping pseudo military terminology on the most banal of accomplishments.
I think I’ll hold a victory celebration for Operation Wipe Myself and Not Get Poo On My Hands. Crisp military precision there.
OMG !
Roosh has defeated the universe! Where does he go from here? He’ll have to fight fictional realms now. I don’t fancy his chances against Sauron.
“Planned with military precision?” And here was me thinking that the Canadians were quite good at military stuff. Evidently I was misinformed. If armies turned up to the wrong location with barely a tenth of the people they planned for, wars would be very different things.
I am eating breakfast with military precision – I haven’t yet spilled any on my blouse. Victory is mine! Bow before your superior, universe!
I tried to find this Roosh superfan on their forum to find out more about someone who would do this to themselves, but I found the gem below instead. Sorry about the length, I didn’t edit it because I didn’t want to dull this guy’s astounding jubilation. Please note that a Rooshite estimated 60 dudes went to this lecture, which is apparently enough to bring about the anti-feminist revolution.
“I have waited for over 20 years for someone like Roosh to come along and win a decisive victory over all the nutty, militant, irrational feminists and their supporters; and show the world what they really are.” Yes, he actually wrote that and he’s probably not joking.
FTFY.
These people need to be shut in to a Total Perspective Vortex for a few minutes, so they can realize how pathetic and self-aggrandizing they sound.
@ Repenantphonebooth
Ha, sorry 🙂 But we’ve nearly got Pandapol to drink the Kool Aid too!
It was fascinating losing The Game in London; it would set off a chain reaction. I could visualise a wave propagating across the metropolis; presumably only stopping when it hit the North Circular or the River.
Oh, and obviously, I’ve just lost the Game again!
Who knew the Universe was fighting so hard to protect the small conference room at a Motel 6?
Thanks for that, brooked!
To quote one note in what you said:
O.o
The revolutionary 60?
The Revolution 60?!?
Someone get Brianna Wu on this, stat.

Aaaagh, the embed mammoth has failed me.
@Alan:
Curse you. Curse you and all your offspring, even unto the seventh generation.
He may not have the press, but Roosh has the people behind him: http://cmro.travis-starnes.com/images/groups/mindelss_ones.jpg
No faces visible anywhere, just like any group of war heroes.
Well Military sounds all manly doesn’t it? That’s why they complain about movies like Edge of Tomorrow and the most recent Mad Max. How dare the best fighter/best shooter be feeeemale? Those Wimmenz should be cooking dammit!
Wow, I hope we hear more from brooked’s excitable superfan!
Brian Eno said that the Velvet Underground’s debut album may not have sold many copied (initially), but everyone who bought one started a band. Superfan expects this to be like that (though without Moe Tucker* or Nico, obvs). Every one of those few dozen dudes in Roosh’s audiences going out there and bravely starting their own crusades against basic decency and personal hygiene! Soon… annnny day now.
(Though Tucker these days is a huge Tea Party ranter, so maybe that makes up for being a woman?)
