So here’s an interesting little scoop: According to the Daily Beast, the long-anonymous creator of the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad Red Pill subreddit is, IRL, a Republican politician — specifically, New Hampshire 9th district state representative Robert Fisher, known better in Red Pill circles as Pk_atheist.
“It’s possible that now, four-and-a-half years after Red Pill’s founding, Fisher may regret his creation,” Bonnie Bacarisse drily notes.
When reached for comment by phone, Fisher denied participation in the Red Pill forum, claiming not to know what The Red Pill was. Though he did say he had heard of the men’s rights movement, he said he hadn’t heard of PUA. “What is a pickup artist?” he asked.
This denial aside, the extensively researched Daily Beast story makes a pretty convincing case that Fisher and Pk_atheist are one and the same. And there’s this:
Within hours of contacting Rep. Fisher, and after delivering by email a summary of his apparent connections to The Red Pill kingpin, his two primary Reddit usernames had been wiped, and four blogs connected to him were deleted or made private. He has not returned additional requests for comment.
While Fisher wasn’t an elected official when he (allegedly) founded The Red Pill in 2012, he’s been a Republican state rep since 2014. He also seems to be a cool dude with super-awesome friends.
Online, Fisher describes himself as an “attractive businessman” who owns a “small empire.” According to his Facebook, he is the COO of Same Day Computer, which operates two locations in New Hampshire. He was also the sole member of his indie-electronic band, The Five Nines, which may or may not still be active. …
Fisher purchased the computer-repair franchise from its founder, failed New Hampshire state senate candidate Joshua Youssef, who, according to the Concord Monitor, violated state election law by publishing a deceptive blog to “make it appear that his ex-wife’s attorney had endorsed his candidacy.”
It turns out that the alleged Red Pill founder has been allegedly saying many, many terrible things about women online over the five years since the founding of The Red Pill — and even before.
I suspect many of his constituents, especially the human females amongst them, will be thrilled to learn of his Red Pill philosophy. Indeed, Bacarisse notes, “Fisher’s past comments on a host of Reddit forums are arguably far more disturbing” than some of the more notorious comments of his less-than-enlightened Republican dude politicians in New Hampshire.
He blasted women for their “sub-par intelligence.” He said that women’s personalities are “lackluster and boring, serving little purpose in day to day life.” And Fisher once commented, “It is literally the [female] body that makes enduring these things worth it.”
But there’s more! (There’s always more.) In assorted posts, he expressed his great appreciation for “slut shaming” and his unhappiness with female autonomy.
“Marriage, and yes, female oppression, slut shaming, religion, these were all a means to control hypergamy … ” Fisher wrote on The Red Pill in November 2012.
“To give women autonomy is to take away the very thing that made marriage a realistic institution… what I dislike is the general attitude that somehow we owe [women] something for sex … ” Fisher wrote on his blog Dating American, in 2012—just weeks before establishing The Red Pill.
It may not come as a giant shock to learn that Fisher has not been completely thrilled with his dating life.
He complained that girls were ghosting on him and standing him up. He aired grievances about the character of women: They were uninteresting, immature, unintelligent, lacked depth, and were entitled. He bemoaned that dating was easier for women. He felt it was unjust that women get a free ride, believing “a pair of boobs grants [them] equal footing with somebody bringing intelligence or a personality.”
Like a lot of his Red Pill brethren, Fisher is positively obsessed with alleged false rape accusations, and claimed that one of his ex-girlfriends once threatened to falsely accuse him.
“If you’re unattractive, feminism tells us, you’re likely a rapist,”he wrote in one Red Pill post.”[M]en are tip-toeing to make sure they don’t accidentally become rapists themselves.”
And it only gets creepier from here.
In 2008, writing under the username FredFredrickson, Fisher posited that the notion that “rape is bad” was not an absolute truth. He wrote, “I’m going to say it—Rape isn’t an absolute bad, because the rapist I think probably likes it a lot. I think he’d say it’s quite good, really.”
Though he stated he “doesn’t advocate breaking the law,” Fisher said online in 2012 that a 40-year-old man asking to see the breasts of a 15-year-old wasn’t creepy. Instead, he said it was “evolutionarily advantageous and perfectly natural.”
Fisher’s Red Pill beliefs aren’t just something he’s shared anonymously online:
As a candidate for state representative, Fisher proposed bringing concerns about the supposed plague of false rape accusations into the statehouse. Hosting a forum on Reddit under the username RobertFisherforNH, Fisher sought ideas to prevent “innocent people [from] receiving jail time.” He argued that because in rape cases “police err on the side of caution,” and show a high level of support for victims, the system was “susceptible to abuse” by women.
Given his noxious views, you may be pleased to note that Fisher is not what you’d call an influential politician, even on the state level. Partly because he seems to be a very lazy one.
“At his request, Fisher serves on no committees in the New Hampshire House,” Bacarisse notes. “Out of the 114 record votes so far during the 2017 session, Fisher has cast votes in half.”
Hopefully, after news of all this gets to his constituents, Fisher will go from being an ineffectual politician to being an ineffectual ex-politician.
Edit: wrong thread.
Which laws are those, specifically?

What was that about “NO consequences?”
Falsely accusing someone of a crime is a crime and women do get prosecuted for it.
Coming at it contextless, it sounds like the “rape is not an absolute bad” comment is an attempt at philosophy. Like, something being a bad or a good is philosophical language.
It’s a failed attempt, because there are few things in this world that don’t do someone or something at least an iota of good or happiness, so saying something is not “an absolute bad” on the grounds that someone profits from it isn’t even stoned-freshman level philosophical musing. It’s just straight-up apologia. Even murder does good for the worms, so I guess murder isn’t an absolute bad either! This is just a meaningless observation, it holds no information.
I might be wrong, but I took this bit to be a joke, given the rest of the post.
@David Henderson
You are an emoter-of-feelings-without-objects. Feel all you want it’s still just name calling without something outside of you to justify something to be attached to all women. You have no courage or honor.
@David Henderson
Wait, you didn’t even bother to respond past round 1 the last time…
Since you failed to get people with your gotcha and insults, are you going at it again, the same way, anyways?
dloutwe
Every law in family court , CPS , criminal justice system .. take your pick ..
My wife can DECIDE she is UNHAPPY …. call the cops .. accuse me of “making her feel unsafe” and “grabbing her” have me arrested removed from the house … cost me my reputation , 10 grand in attorney fees , indignity of jail., possibly being raped and or assulted in jail .. getting a permanent mugshot online for all current and future employers to see … then calling CPS .. telling CPS I’m “threatening” the children .. getting everything documented … emptying our joint bank accounts and maxing out the joint credit cards … show up at court sobbing like the victim –
and the judge will award full custody , CS payments , the house , repayment of debts
And when it’s found out to be 100% false – 1 / 1000 chance NOTHING will happen to her. NOTHING. No repercussions. No charges. No jail time. No assessments. She keeps the house and everything else.
THIS IS WHAT FEMINISTS CALL EQUALITY
Dlou
Ok so you found man bites dog article online. My point is that for every one of these articles hundreds or thousands go unpunished.
Women KNOW there are either no repercussions for lying to destroy a mans life or the chances of getting prosecuted are very low.
This is justified by what feminists call “punishing the victim”. The idea being ….. fewer female victims will come forward out of fear of being prosecuted. So they just let this disgusting draconian feminist system continue to destroy men’s lives unabated.
Again – with the mere accusation they can destroy men’s lives.
This gives women total one sided power and domination over men and their family using the police and courts as a weapon.
here are NO repercussions.
This bit in the article caught my eye:
and
I’m quite sure this ass used to troll here. Can anyone think of the name he used? I’m drawing a blank.
Hippodameia, Brandon used to advocate for taping every sexual encounter.
And the confirmation texts sounds exactly like something he would say.
Shorter David Henderson: “I will stubbornly refuse any evidence presented to me but I will keep spouting my misogynist opinions.”
Thank you, PeeVee! That would have bugged me all night.
The timing looks right, too – Brandon was trolling here in 2012. He was terribly hurt when he wasn’t nominated for troll of the year.
David Henderson,
That’s quite a little fantasy you’ve got there. Care to cite any actual laws that exist? Because here in the real world abusers quite frequently stay out of jail and are allowed access to their children. Quite often nothing is done until the abuser murders his wife.
Classic example
http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2015/06/17/new_jersey_policeman_reportedly_kills_wife_witnesses_say_officers_made_no.html
TW: Domestic violence
Yep. The system sure hates men and immediately locks them up anytime a woman calls the cops on him
Oh wait. The victim called the police 21 times and jack shit was done.
http://www.nj.com/monmouth/index.ssf/2015/07/neptune_cop_ex-wife_had_21_police_reports_on_file.html
Even though he was clearly father of the year material!
And just look at all the hits you get when you Google “police departments investigated for mishandling rape cases”
https://www.google.com/search?q=police+departments+investigated+for+mishandling+rape+cases&oq=police+departments+investigated+for+mishandling+rape+cases&aqs=chrome..69i57.16716j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
And the 10s of thousands of rape kits that haven’t even been tested yet all over the country? How can that be if all women have to is cry rape and the men are immediately jailed?
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/rape-kits-n393186
Fuck off, asshole. You’re a lying sack of shit.
That was hilarious. It was before my time but I read the archives. JudgyBitch was mad about not winning too IIRC.
Y/W, Hippodameia.
He was memorable in how he would never stfu about himself, and how stultifyingly boring he was.
That, and his fabricated girlfriend “Ashley” who would sock for him. Lolol
IIRC, he was from New England somewhere, also…hmmm.
Yeah – some of them were really outraged that we didn’t see them as the dangerous threats they hoped to be, and others seemed genuinely hurt to find that we didn’t actually like them. (Mell*r)
Ah, yes, “Ashley” the Totally Real Non-Inflatable Girlfriend!
Yeah. The quotes in the article just sounded so familiar . . .
Omg, DKM. He was…genuinely puzzling to me.
PEACE AND FREEDOM!!
Guess what.
Free Alex!
@David Henderson
You come here spouting claims no one has any reason to believe.
And you do it while claiming that women face no reprocusions for false accusations, while posting accusations that no one can follow because you give nothing outside if your own feelings.
Why should anyone trust the word of someone that does not live as if they think these behaviors are actually bad things? You are starting to smell a little rapey. I see you muddying up the reality with what you claim of the ones you fear.
@FoxKit
From linked article:
WTF?
Wasn’t there an Evan, also? Oh, my goodness, DKM held so many hostage!
Jeez most of the time it takes a little longer for the trolls to melt down. In addition I hope Henderson isn’t actually married or in a relationship because right now he’s sounding like a textbook abuser.
