Are online threats serious or not? I’ve given this question a lot of thought after receiving dozens of threats in the past year, mostly as a result of the worldwide meetup outrage. Feminists will often falsely claim to have received death threats as a way to get in the news or solicit money donations, but what do you do when the threats are real and numerous?
Here is a representative sample of messages I received from the meetup outrage, many of which were direct threats:

Here is a representative sample of messages I received from the meetup outrage, many of which were direct threats:
If you make a stand against the establishment, it’s almost a certainty that you’ll get threats similar to the ones above. To know whether to take them seriously or not, you have to account for the context. Ask yourself the following questions:
- Are the threats part of a wave of outrage that has thousands of individuals angry at you?
- Has your address been recently published or included within the threats?
- Are the threats showing a specific mechanism of harm (knife, shooting, etc)?
- Is an individual sending repeated messages, showing that he’s emotionally invested in you?
- Does the threat include inside information of your daily routine or habits that can’t easily be found online?
The more you can answer ‘yes’ to the above questions, the more likely you should take the threats seriously. In my case, I could answer yes to the first three questions. It didn’t help that the dox of my family was perhaps the most viewed dox of all time, accumulating over one million views.
The only positive going for me was that the threats were spread out worldwide, so many of the individuals weren’t even close to the Washington DC area. Nonetheless, I hired an armed security service and had them stationed around the clock in front of my father’s home. I also put a flag on the address with local police to prevent a SWAT attempt. Thankfully, there was no successful attack against a member of my family or the home.
I’m counting on this happening again. My family is better prepared for it and the enemy no longer has the advantage of a surprise attack. If you exercise your free speech in a way that conflicts with the globalist agenda, I guarantee threats will come your way. If they’re serious enough, I recommend you remove yourself from the threat or hire security, at least until the dust settles and the mob moves on to another target. I’m definitely more prepared today for when the mob sets its sights back on me again.

This article was originally published on Roosh V.
Leftists are the most inarticulate people in the world. A threat is just one or two phrases referencing violence contained within a long string on swear words and other insults.
Fair play to you for putting up with this shit Roosh.
I think you’ve transcended yourself this past 12 months.
I bet you’ve inspired hundreds of thousands of people across the globe.
Something I learned years ago was that men should but their head above the surface, even where doing so they risk decapitation.
You’ve done this on a much bigger and more real level than 99.999 of the population.
Kudos
“You’ve done this on a much bigger and more real level than 99.999 of the population”
Hear hear!
Most threats are harmless for a simple reason.
If someone genuinely wanted to harm you they wouldn’t warn you about it. They would just attack you straight away.
It’s hard to filter real threats from fake ones. But 99% of threats on the internet are fake.
Indeed, its more to intimidate the target and for the threaten-er to stroke their ego.
Actions speak louder than words, and if someone’s action are mere words, they are fairly weak.
Even if not fake. “They can kill a man but they can not kill an idea”. Just like happens to radical muslims. They are killed and even kill themselves like flies, but there are more and more of them. The major problem with muslims is the mostly of the Islamic ideas, that are absurd nowadays. If they had more good ideas to spread, they could easily win the culture war.
They have THE good idea, which is why they are growing.
They don’t let their women run amok.
Like it or not they can win on this one basic idea.
They’re willing to kill and die for their opinions, which sets them apart from the West
“It’s hard to filter real threats from fake ones. But 99% of threats on the internet are fake.”
I hear ya, but at some point it becomes a real drag to have to wake up to threats every day. It comes as no surprise this is making Roosh a little gray in the hair.
Agreed with both above points. It’s depressing just to read the threats Roosh gets. It’s a real downer. On the other side, only a mentally insane person would telegraph their intentions and then if they are mentally insane, they’d probably have a hard time following through.
It’s that 1% that gets you. During my life I had two lunatics actually come to my house and try to act on those threats ( this was during the early days of the internets … I don’t allow personal info to escape these days ).
One was run off at gun point, and made the mistake of complaining about it, and was arrested and jailed. The other brought a gun. I shot that one, and he was arrested when he returned home looking for medical treatment several states away … the dumbass lost a finger when I shot him. The local cops ran the print off that finger.
“One was run off at gun point, and made the mistake of complaining about it, and was arrested and jailed”
LoL – “Officer I went to kill this guy and he shot me, I want to press charges”
I believe you – similar shit like this happens on the old reruns of that “Cops” tv show.
But where in the usa can a man defend himself and not be jailed for it? Then again, you mentioned early days of the ‘net so I assmue this is 1990s – America was not a full blown dystopia just yet.
You are my new hero. Fuck’n A!
I was living in rural Oregon at that time.
Oregon I assume has already been neo-sovietized.
Vermont has open carry without any bs license. If he would have had the Montreal meet up an hour south he would not have been attacked and alot more Canadians would have attended the presentation. I never understood why a US citizen would ever travel to a cUNTry where it is illegal to carry
You’re lucky. In my state they wouldn’t think of using the finger as evidence, they’d just tell you to throw it away.
Oh, and good job!
You aren’t taking into account the fact that some people are simply batshit insane and can do stupid totally unpredictable nonsensical things. Also, what’s up with all of the rape threats? A pretty messed up bunch of people…
They were responding to the nonsensical mass reports that RV’s infamous piece of satire about legalizing rape was actually his legitimate viewpoint and not a means of prompting reasoned thought in the interest of exposing the fallacy of ‘rape culture.’
But yeah, their answer is “I think rape is bad, but since I think you don’t I’ll gladly rape you.”
A world full of intelligent and upstanding individuals…
Similar to gunaphobes. Afraid of murder and death, but will gleefully admit to wanting to round up and murder folks that posess guns.
Trolls making internet death threats are like men farting or women crying. They’re uncontrollable little blips of antisocial behavior that signify nothing.
It’s like armchair activism, you think you’re doing something by emailing someone you think is a rapist and threatening to kill them, but you’re still sitting on your ass and not actually doing anything about it. I had some similar thing happen in 2013, Google my name, you’ll get it. I think now it is so so much worse, no one knows how to understand satire anymore. Facebook tested out putting a tag on satire articles because there were people dumb enough to believe things from the Onion were real. I honestly am happy my personal shit storm happened 3 years ago, because online commenters are more and more vicious. Someone called me a kike on twitter and I laughed because I’d thought usage of that word was an urban myth. No one had enough balls to say they;d actually kick my ass.
Roosh, props on the armed guard at your dad’s, media took photos of my house and called my sister, and there wasn’t even half as much vitriol towards me. I can only imagine what the threat of an armed mob attacking your family would feel like. Taking care of business.
Rape has become the cause celebre of the past year or so, riling up SJWs everywhere as if it was a new thing and all of a sudden there was an explosion of this phenomenon. They needed a scapegoat to feel important. Any story remotely about rape would do, they scan the headline, get huffy so they can feel important and intellectual and don’t even read said article. In 2013 government workers who were furloughed needed to feel mad about it and took it out on me, which wasn’t too terrible. There is no one as vicious and petty as a group of SJWs on the war path. The amount of white knights too is fierce here. However, everyone can be disgusting behind the anonymity of an internet comment and the safety of their own house. They are all puppets especially the male commenters. You would think that anyone with a brain could see what clear satire looks like, but everyone’s a dumb sheep ready to jump on the next “injustice”.
I remember that article. How long did it take for the uproar to subside?
About 3-5 days for actual media coverage directly on me, was pulled in as a punchline for a few months after. A question about me was in the trivia section of the Village Voice in the year round up.
Gotta love media hypocrisy. They won’t release names of rape accusers but with happily go beyond that and stake out the homes of people who are not involved in potentially life ruining behaviors toward others.
Statistically i can vouch for that.That being said the amount of fake death threats Roosh received proved one thing,that the amount of white knights,general cucks and betas is getting out of control.It is blatantly obvious that most of these individuals have eaten into the establishment’s propoganda.Roosh is right…free speech isnt really free after all.
This ignores the option that the person wants to give you a chance to back off and reform but will.Burt you if you do not satisfy their demands.
I get that too. Most of them are harmless. Now, you’re right in that when somebody really wants to get you, he’s not going to let you know ahead of time. And the internet has become a great source to find out anything about anybody. Lot of stalking and setting up strategies going on because of it. But those people aren’t going to let anyone know what they’re up to.
Glad to have sons, equipment, and training. No private security needed. Thinking of up armoring my vehicle though.
These people are mindless drones. Even if they had dynamite for brains it wouldn’t be enough to blow their own nose.

What a dumb Guido the second one is. I didn’t think anybody could be retarded enough to be both a hockey and a hip hop fan at the same time. Everybody knows that eggplants don’t do well in the cold yet there he is. He is even trying to impress people with a profile picture where he has been gouged for bottle service to impress his bum chum, not so “on the down low.” Wait that rhymed, he might tweet it!
If Muslim then very seriously.
Ding ding ding!
They’re the only group I’d take seriously.
I was about to say that.
“But we’re not you but us instead and there are many ways for us to win if we use our head and do our best to learn from the dead.”
BB Ways 5:1-7
Common themes from feminist threats:
1. They will use rape and seem fixated on the idea.
2. They use men to carry out their vengeance and empowerment.
3. They rage and throw temper tantrums laced with vulgarity.
4. They use mob tactics and never seem to fight one on one
5. They have no problem publishing a target’s info, but claim an invasion of privacy if it happens to them.
I’m sure half of them have a fantasy about getting raped by Roosh.
Perhaps these apparent rape fantasies are the reason why these sickos are supporting and facilitating the importation of tens of thousands of rapists into their countries. Literal cuck fantasies. The gene pool needs a good chlorination.
It’s hilarious how they trade their body for male physicality to assault a male who they think is pro rape.
Do you get inured to these threats over time?
If someone is determined to kill you why would they tell you?
Because they’re all talk, no show.
“Feminists will often falsely claim to have received death threats as a way to get in the news or solicit money donations, but what do you do when the threats are real and numerous?”
You repeat this twice..
It’s worth repeating.
Complete mangina alert. These white knights ruin it for everyone else. When will they learn that they will never get pussy that way ?
This from up in white bred Bellingham, Wa of all places. Jews and psy op dirtbag mentors are sewing seeds and recruiting young manginas. These white girls should be learning their homecrafts and the nippy young white guy should be learning his game.
Debating whether or not to leave a comment informing Nicholas that he’ll never get laid his entire life if he keeps this up… Poor kid.
Fucking do it! Check that schmuck!
Poor kid? ROK evangelists would be all over him like Jehovah’s Witnesses. Needless to say I can see the kid turning red pill hard someday, and probably the hard way. I’ve read many testimonials of former shitlibs on here who finally woke up. A person goes through an ‘obamaphone lady’ moment when they rebuke and reject their ways of error and libtardation. This kid would be one hell of a transformation after being duped into a vid like that. Testimonials are powerful currency.
People do change like the obamaphone lady. I remember how heart warming it was witnessing the obamaphone lady in tears renouncing her obamaphone as she held hands with Alex Jones and they intensely prayed for redemption as Alex led her word for word throughout her renouncing the shitlib way.
Every one of these bitches are like a lipstick lesbian…one good hard deep dicking and they will happily run into the kitchen to cook & clean.
Was thinking the same way. Bet they aired and waved their threats all over social media after posting them for all of their so-called friends to witness their “bravery” and supposed noble ways… and not a single dick got sucked as a result of playing hero!
Some white knights are married men obedient to their wife or men with daughters
Feminists, like other types of bigots, have always been violent. It would be nice if we could start holding them accountable for it one of these days.
The morons who threaten someone on twitter etc, are usually full of hot air and it makes them feel tough. The thing is, by doing that they are encouraging whackos who won’t advertise and will apt to do it so they can get their 15 minutes of fame.
How Seriously Should You Take Online Death Threats?
As serious as when some says to you – “Fuck you!” LOL
Threatening violence online is punishable by jail time in Canada and Australia, is it not? You should definitely see that they are arrested and charged for it. They committed the offense, so it’s their freedom that they should pay with, not ours!
Good luck identifying them. Although, they probably are stupid enough to use real email addresses.
Unless the threat is very specific as to time and place, I’d shine it on. The more details the aggressor provides, the more serious the threat.
This article needs reformatting for mobile devices. It’s hard to read and seems to repeat.
Not a troll. Keep fighting the good fight roosh!
I find it hard to take any threat seriously when every other word is fuck.
Seeing Anonymous try to act intimidating always makes me laugh.
“would smash fuck out you ya fucking beast”
I would take any threat made by a Glaswegian very seriously although you do have to work out what the hell they’re threatening to do. Also if you’re still alive the next morning they will have no extant memory of the event. An average Glaswegian make several death threats per hour but has a very short term memory
I hear those Celtic and Rangers hooligans up in Glasgow are a mean bunch.
Old joke: “Amercian goes to Glasgow and upon returning was asked how his trip went. “Awful.” He says. “They drink, curse, smoke and fornicate in public. Piss in the street during the day, always looking for a fight and brawl over nothing And that’s just the women.”
That’s hilarious.
Most of these people just want to win the keyboard wars
U wot M8?
It’s always impressive to see the power of mass media.
It’s like when the media tell that there might be a gas shortage, everyone go buy some gas, and then as a result there indeed is a gas shortage.
It was the same thing here, except everyone wanted to kill us.
“. I also put a flag on the address with local police to prevent a SWAT attempt”
Kinda curious, what does that mean?
Tell the police that you think prankers will try to SWAT the house. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatting
Thanks.
My question is: How many of these threats were written by women trying to sound like men?
Or how many guys trying to sound like men?
You win the internet today, sir!
The only one that fulfilled a threat was the bird that defecated on his arm.
must have been a twitter threat
That pigeon was a false flag. Roosh paid it to shit on him so he could claim oppressed status. 😉
I take them about as seriously as a heinous monster fart I get from destroying a bucket of fried chicken on a cheat day. I encourage people to make good on their threat so their faces can meet the pavement. Bunch of chickenshits.
Those are nice. I only received one yet, sniff.
Hehe, I’m in the 100s, no real idea anymore.
If you run a site that gets popular and you have some opinions you will get a bunch of nitwits doing that.
If you on top have a sense of humor and use it, you’re getting there quick lol.
I received one for ‘camping’ during a video game.
I just flag and report trolls especially those who threaten me with bodily harm, send me pictures of severed heads or whatever. Trolls like these should be banned.
I usually yawn and reach for my beer. That shit is all wimps anyway.
This. If anyone is serious about harming you, they’ll do it and won’t give you a heads up. These are the methods of amateurs.
Typically I would agree, but when dealing with feminists and the mentally unstable, they do not think rationally.
To this effect I was once walking with a girl and we saw two guys who had some kind of traffic altercation in each other’s faces. “I’m gonna fuck uou up” “try it I’ll fucking kill you” blah blah blah you all know the script. She looked scared and I said “don’t worry, nothing will happen” I was right and I explained to her, if either of those guys was seriously going to hit someone they would have not been jawing and just come out swinging.
Pretty much same with keyboard warriors
Mostly harmless. People who engage in such tactics are trying to cover up personal shame or vulnerability. The narcissists above thrive on the fantasy of controlling your mind because they have no control over the simple day to day aspects of their life. Losers looking for instant gratification. Paracites like these have plenty of warm bodies much closer to them to feed on. Planning/carrying out an attack is too time consuming and doesn’t fit the paracitic lifestyle. They will stand in crowds and throw things at you from afar behind another human shield and vandalize your property and that’s about it.
We should track those scumbags down and do something about it especially that faggot Mitchell.
Funny thing is that they are good at making themselves seem much larger than they are. These cowards are also whimpy little faggots with no balls
I’d say be safe and aware of your surroundings, have a burner email attached to your disqus like I do.
Also, make notes of who makes these online threats. Selectively punish them by sending that information to law enforcement and their employer’s HR departments.
Keep the rest of the information gathered in a safe place to use at a more convenient time.
Those emails were hilarious, lol. I’m glad nothing serious happened to Roosh or his family, but damn do I enjoy seeing male feminists get their panties bunched.
99.9% of online threats are bullshit bluffs made by keyboard warriors. It’s that last bit of a percent that cold be real, but even then you won’t know until you or your loved ones are attacked. If you are vocal and not in line with the world of PC panty twisters, get a CCW and the training necessary to protect yourself and those you care about.
They seem to have a fixation with Roosh’s anus.
Yes, they are all such tough straight men who honor their women like straight men ought to and to that effect they are all looking forward to fucking a man in the ass.
smh
masculinity.
Was wondering if I was the only one who noticed that…
It’s called Cognitive Dissonance. When it becomes overwhelming it can result in an amygdala hijacking as evidenced by the apeal to violence without reason.
Most of the men posting death threats were just trying to get laid.
my favorite is “if you have the balls to come to perth”
I had to google that shit. I didn’t even know it was a place. People from perth should just shoot themselves.
Remember, Perth doesn’t exist.
Yeah-they’re a bunch of arrogant jerkoffs.
I don’t even believe it’s a real place
No specialist term I am aware of.
Don’t worry, it’s perthically natural to overlook the city.
ha! I am going to called you bacon egg and cheese today, because you sir are on a roll.
Roosh, please immediately get the excellent book THE GIFT OF FEAR by Gavin deBecker. He’s a high end and celebrity security consultant and knows his stuff. Much of staying safe is counter intuitive and not obvious. If necessary, hire him for a consult.
Roosh, I see one of the threats came from Hightower from Police Academy. I’d consider that one flattery!
People have been arrested for much less. These SS should be posted on local police fb pages.
At least can’t say they were not aware even though they ignore.
It just go’s to show how easily an indoctrinated population can be programmed to be ‘triggered’ when the people that control them want them to be.
And we’re supposed to be the monsters.
Call them ‘waycist.’ Easy win there.
I had a Zionist shill that frequents this forum send me a video of an elderly Romanian couple being executed for ‘holocaust’ crimes. He/she took quite delight in the panic and cries for mercy in their slaughter and described as such to me.
It only reinforced my resolve against the sick minded people that try to bring us down.
Little yapping dogs behind an electronic fence. This is a medium for the exchange of ideas. When they run out of ideas/arguments, that is all they have left.
Wow, that’s how long it took to subside. Interesting.
I’d almost antagonize these people. Let them really know how much their cowardice binds them as their fat asses sit in a chair doing nothing as I let them know how unafraid I am of their lard rolls.
have not used my real name in 20 years.. threaten away.
