A Hypothetical Question; Would You Attend A Conference Discussing Different Positions In The Manosphere?

There's a good reason most of the RP bloggers remain anonymous, they have too much to lose though the backlash if people know who they are and the ideals they hold. Add to that, the controversy generated would get it either shut down or infiltrated pretty quickly.

It's a nice idea, but it's too idyllistic.

No. The attendees would be outnumbered by feminists and SJWs looking to dox anybody and everybody.

Also, I don't see the value in a manosphere conference, personally. I think attendance was sparse at whatever MRA conference you referred to not because of ticket prices, but because it's just not as huge a draw as you think.

You shouldn't take the risk of outing yourself unless you stand to personally gain from it.

You'll win no friends from publicly associating with the manosphere.

I would present a paper at such a conference and would gladly attend.

Truthfully... I'd only go if nobody I know knew I was attending. There's a strong stigma against reality in society.

Also just because Gamergate is largely based on empiricism and rationality doesn't mean it has anything to do with the manosphere.

I would love to see such a thing, frankly. But then I would, since that's my video you linked there. I see a lot of people assuming fear or lack of interest would make such a thing unfeasable, even some saying that's why IMCI wasn't massive. I attended that conference too, by the way.

Most people that didn't go, that gave a reason in the comments to the announcement, didn't because of travel costs, or work commitments, not because of fear, or the actual ticket price. I didn't see a single feminist the whole conference, by the way, and every local cab driver or store clerk seemed to ask what we were doing, what we were about.

In fact, I didn't encounter one single hostile reaction. Usually it was 'I think you guys are doing a good thing. Its about time something was done' or some variant, and male or female made no difference.

A lot was learned from that conference, I think. Myself, I am lobbying for exactly what you wonder about the possibility of. I would love to see Rollo, paul, Barbarossa, Karen, Star dusk, etc speaking at. Hell, throw Fred Reed in there too, even though he doesn't 'identify' as anything in particular.

You never know, something might happen to make such a conference possible.

I'd like to but SJW's are a petty evil bunch there is a good chance they will be snapping photos of people going and getting them fired or even having a violent protest at the venue.

Nope. You're all on your own.

Conferences are beta as fuck.

Why? What's the point?

On the one hand, this sounds like a sci-fi/comics/diy/woodworking/hackerspace convention - everyone has to pay for parts of it which don't interest them at all.

It also seems to me that you name several communities which don't want to be conflated with one another. For example, MRA has to disown PUA because MRA it is political in nature and PUA is crude, rude and socially unacceptable. Part of why it's so awesome. In another corner MGTOW says have fun, but we're doing our own thing; wish you luck and all, but we're enjoying the decline. So it just seems unworkable.

I expect some men to have connections to more than one part of the manosphere, but some grand merging ... is impossible.

But putting all that aside, back to my first question.

Why?
