The overall consensus seems to be that this campaign will not have an effect. And you are literally saying it will have NO EFFECT. While I can understand how you arrive at this conclusion from the perspective of a typical red pill RVF forum member, I still beg to differ. I think you might be so immersed in red pill sites and the blue pill-red pill dichotomy that you don't see the gradient from blue to red that is actually out there.

Yes, it does.

Yes, it is. Absolutely.
But while this may repulse any real, upstanding, adult man, we are not the target audience. The target audience speak the language of whiny, passive-aggressive wannabe victims and leftist SJWs. And they need to be talked to in their own language.
Think about this: if you want a healthy body, you need a good
- diet
- workout programme
- sleeping & recreational habits
- a mental program which allows you to switch from hardcore performance mode to relaxed recreation mode effectively
- etc.
Now if you have an overweight office drone who for years
- has eaten junkfood
- not done any sports
- spent his free time on TV and computer games, and
- is not used to performing or excelling at anything
...and then you push the full program on him... no matter how good it is... he will just give up. The change is too big.
You have to take it step by step. If there is some willingness within him to change, but only so much, then you start small. Maybe you get him to drop 2 hours of TV or games each week and instead join a "nordic walking" group or another low-level outside activity. He will not lose any weight, but he might just loose his cheesy complexion. For one guy that might be enough and he will stop at this level of self improvement, but you do it with enough people, and another guy might just want more and another one still more. They have to develop in their own time. You also didn't make the jump from blue pill to red pill, or from Incel to PUA, or from a rounded face to 10% body fat in one step.
Let me give you one example: I first came to manosphere-related sites through Arne Hofmann's german blog
Genderama. The guy
- wrote some extremely blue pill books about sex (one of his book titles is actually "Masturbating for professionals"
) ![[Image: 31kxQoYjnfL._UY250_.jpg]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/31kxQoYjnfL._UY250_.jpg)
- is extremely pro-homo
- defines himself as leftist
- is "egalitarian" and "anti-racist"
...but this guy, in all of his blue pill rage and very apparent sexual frustration, is RELENTLESS in calling out radical feminism and gender-mainstreaming efforts in Germany. About three years ago, that was enough "going against the mainstream" for me. I read his blog daily, but since he only has around 2-5 small pieces of info each day, after some time it wasn't enough any more. So I sought out more info like his. And that's how I came to Dalrock, then Roissy, ROK, Rational Male etc. ...
Now he only had 200 daily visitors three years ago, but (as of December 2014), he now reports
7.000 (!) daily visitors (more proof that Germany really is a social graveyard

)
I'd say that out of those 7.000, and of the ensuing growth that is still to come, some percentage will go the same way I did - be happy and content with his writing, and then after some time seek out more enlightenment. If I had come across RVF at that time however, I might have just told myself "oh, those are some terrible, women-hating men" and went on to another site. Too big a mental step.
This poster campaign and similar efforts can be a great entry point. Just because we as RVF members don't find any groundbreaking or interesting info in them or approve of their way of communication, saying they "will never convince anyone" is just unrealistic.
