A thread on the site ​Kiwifarms​ discussing the youtuber named Coach Red Pill (CRP), has been

making the rounds for the past month and a half, having come up heavily in the aftermath of
Kraut’s meltdown. After looking into the information presented in the thread, it’s obvious the
thread is being used to push a dishonest, smear job against CRP. The thread originates from a
former Gamergater named King of /pol/ (a.k.a. KoP, Armored Toast) and The Guardian. The later
is most known for being the a whistleblower from Kraut’s servers.

I highly encourage you to have the Kiwifarms thread handy, as The Guardian wants to reframe
what was posted, and lie about how the facts were initially presented. I will work my way though
the most obvious lies, then to the meat of the accusations of CRP being a con-man, and end on
his rape allegation. I’m not going to bother with the Spencer connection, which CRP discusses
here​.

On CRP being a “Male Feminist Pretending to be Alt Right”

Claim​: CRP was a male feminist

From the Kiwifarms thread:

Truth​: This account is from “The Roosh V Forum” which uses “Male Feminist” and other amusing
titles as a post ranking.

Evidence:
The Guardian reframes ​this outright lie as a joke​.

In the context of the full thread, it is obviously being presented as truth. Vee even stated it as fact
on the Warski stream. It was even in the title of the thread!
Even if the RVF account was inserted as a cryptic joke, it makes you wonder what else was just a
joke or being misrepresented.

Bonus:​ ​From the Guardian​: “And [him being a male feminist] matched up perfectly. What he
typed in, what he posted under that account on the Roosh V Forum was fuckin’, something that
would fall under a god damn damn male feminist statement.

Let’s look at CRP’s single Roosh V forum post: “Diane Keaton said Woody Allen had balls of
steel. Nebbishly and all, he’s someone to emulate. He’s the only working filmmaker today who
does not have to show his script to the financiers or to the actors he casts -yet. He gets the
money and actors he wants. An objective lesson for all of us.” That really sounds like the rantings
of a male feminist out to show those misogynist on the Roosh V Forum!

On CRP being a “failed game writer” and a failed author

Claim​: CRP took false credit for the video game ​Soldier of Fortune​ by writing a book about it
Truth​: He never wrote the book “Postmortems from Game Developers”

Link to Amazon Page

The Guardian has doubled down, and lies by saying​ the book being referenced was CRP’s later
book​.
(From JF’s Discord, search “Acrobat” on his server before he deletes this comment)

Honestly look at the thread, and tell me that post was not referencing ​Postmortems ​when the post
says “trying to ride it’s coat-tails with a fucking book” which is followed directly with a photo of that
Game Dev book​.​ I checked ​every​ ​damn​ ​official​ ​blurb​ of his later book ​Acrobat​, there is not
mention of the author’s involvement with the game ​Soldier of Fortune​, so even if he used the
scrapped script, the game was never mentioned in the promotion of the book. And the book
Acrobat is not ever mentioned in the thread itself! This is another desperate attempt to reframe
the information presented, instead of admitting to a mistake or a lie.

Claim​: CRP is a failed “game writer” and author:

From Tweet Above: “​...CRP was a failed game writer.”

Truth​: ​CRP has always said he was just a consultant​: ”I did consulting work on a couple of video
games. Not because I cared about video games, I think they’re foolish. But a gigs a gig.” This is
supported by ​the proper credits of the game​:
Even the very Game Dev book they falsely claimed CRP wrote makes it clear his role was as a
consultant:

The Guardian will misrepresent​ his actual role on the game to say he was a “failed game writer”

He is purposefully twisting the idea of what a consultant does, which is a fancy way of saying
“Paid Advisor.” From the sounds of it, they got exactly what they needed for the game: “Although
the full story was never used, some elements of it were, and the process made us realize exactly
what we wanted from the game and​ ​how to get it.”

As far as being a “failed storyteller” goes, the Game Dev book makes it clear he was brought in as
a consultant because he was “a hot selling writer.” CRP’s book ​Counterparts​ was licensed in ​the
U.K., France, Germany, Holland, Spain and Latin America.​ This would imply it was also
translated, not something publishing firms would do for a dud pulp novel. This would all clearly
suggest CRP was a successful selling author at one time.
 On CRP Being a Conman

Claim​: CRP is a Scam Artist

Truth​: I could only find one person in his professional career has accused CRP of being a
conman, that being his former business partner economist Steve Keen.

Claim​: CRP’s “con” of economist Steve Keen was reported on in an Economic magazine.

They use ​this tweet​ as their Economic Magazine in the thread:

Truth​: That was a parody twitter of an Australian property magazine

Full Twitter

No actual news agency covered the story. The only place you will find the incident mentioned
(other than Steve Keen or CRP) are are niche ​economic​ ​forums​, and the occasional comment on
articles. The ​Guardian even admits this truth​:
...and therefore admits he and King of /pol/ were lying, exaggerating how well known and
important Keen and CRP’s business dispute was. As stated in the thread: “this gained so much
attention that a Economics magazine wrote about this very topic!” While I’m sure there is deep
discussions of the Australian housing market going on on that forum, a four page thread on the
matter would suggest this was a fart in the wind in the hard-nosed world of Post-Keynesian
economic blogs.

Bonus:​ per tweet above “...They were stating the fact that they were getting scammed out of their
money after Keen lost control of his on site and couldn’t stop the charges…”

This is what was actually discussed on one of the forums:

Claim​: CRP scammed Economist Steve Keen

Truth​: The supposed “Con” was in reality a classic case of a failed business partnership, with the
partners turning on each other, both looking to get that last “fuck you” in. A brief outline of what
happened:
● Steve Keen back in 2013 ​lost his tenured professorship with the University of Western
Australia when his department was dissolved
● CRP wanted to try to monetizing a blog, and offered time and investment to turn Keen’s
then popular “Debunking Economics” blog into a subscription site
● They did not reach their expected subscription and revenue goals
● Keen misinterpted numbers, seeing each month’s subscribers as new subscribers, even if
they were the same as last months (see DM below)
● Keen wanted to call it quits​, C ​ RP wanted to keep going
● They get into a battle over the domain name “debunkingeconomics.com”, with Keen
claiming they had a deal he could get his domain back for a dollar at any time
● This leads to Keen to go on a​ smear campaign to get CRP to capitulate​ that was very
similar to the ​tirad he unleashed on his former employer​.
● CRP agrees to give back the domain on the conditions Keen stops his smear campaign
against him and refund him money he invested into Keen’s other blog
Keen has only ever provided emails on the matter, has never shown the official business
contracts and clauses regarding the domain within the partnership, never pursue legal action, and
did get his domain back from the web designer.​ To say this make CRP a “conman” is at best a
stretch. You have to view it in the context of a failed business partnership, where both parties
displayed questionable behavior.

Bonus: ​The Guardian​ likes to build up the fact that CRP said in a video as to have made $16’000
from the website:

What he conveniently leaves out is ​CRP in that very video explains Keen made money​: “At the
end of the day I came out ahead like 10, 15 grand. This guy came out 40, 50 grand because I was
eating the cost.” As far as “not eating the cost” he was the one hosting and hiring the web
developer to work on the site, so in other words eating the primary costs.

It should also be made clear that the demand about the money isn't about Debunking Economics,
but a seperate website project. From the email: “Refund the US$7,500 I invested in revamping
and refitting your regular blog. I'll eat the money I spent on the DE site, which was in excess of
US$18,000. ​But you refund what I invested in your regular blogging site, which I didn't
need to, and only did to keep you happy.
 CRP “Possible Rapist?”

Claim​: CRP was accused of rape

Truth​: CRP was charged by a college hearing​ ​with “forcibly kissing” a girl and sending her
threatening emails.

It was found the girl completely lied about the emails​, ​but the “sexual assault” (kissing) charge
stuck. ​He was suspended for 3 college semesters, in addition to experiencing severe social
isolation for the rest of his education at Dartmouth​. Do you think a college would give someone
who they found to be a rapist a three semester suspension, and let them back in to graduate?
CRP goes into details of his experience ​here​ and ​here​. This ​lecture​ goes into more depth into the
nature of college sexual assault hearings.
 Conclusion

The main Takeaways are:

1. The Kiwifarms thread is full of half-truth and outright lies that Sargon, Vee, Academic
Agent, and others have stated as absolute fact.
2. There has only ever been one professional accusation of CPR being a con, a former
business partner who himself displayed questionable behavior during their partnership and
in the past.
3. The actual “con” on closer examination is a matter of a failed business venture, with the
partners turning on each other, using whatever methods they had to leverage control over
one another.
4. The posters in the thread are misrepresenting the findings of a college kangaroo court to
brand him a rapist, who’s verdict is dubious in and of itself.
5. When confronted with the incorrect information, The Guardian will double down, and
reframe the information to be something it was clearly not meant to mean, so he never has
to admit to being wrong.

You don’t have to love CRP after reading this. There are many reasons to not be a fan (boomer
buffoonery, pretentious camera angles, inserting himself into drama, ect). But he is not a conartist
taking his next scam to Youtube.

Even if further evidence comes out against CRP, there is no doubt that the Kiwifarms thread, and
the statements from King of /pol/ and The Guardian on the matter had nothing to do with public
awareness, or whatever good-doer bullshit The Guardian is trying to feed you. Why lie (excuse
me “joke”) about CRP being a male feminist, impute impropriety to his writing and consulting
career, and distort his college sexual assault hearing at Dartmouth, if their main goal was to raise
a red flag about his business dealings? Because the sole intent of that thread was to spread
rumors and smears to destroy CRP’s reputation​.

This actually parallels the recent smear against JF from Destiny quite well. Both Destiny, The
Guardian, and King of /pol/ rely on taking some truth from a contentious incident from their
target’s lives, and stretching it to fit a narrative. They make sure it’s neatly framed in a moral
veneer that would make Church ladies and Feminist professors proud. The question is are you
just going to accept the first narrative you hear, like from Destiny or a Kiwifarms thread, or are you
going to consider the other side the broader context?
