I just got off the phone with Amazon. They said that there were two complaints from verified customers, which put the book into automatic limbo (doesn't explain the other 8 titles). Told them that I'd be boycotting them if the book doesn't return and pulling my novel from their service as well. The supervisor said he'd pass this on to the marketing team.
So if you and I reported 50 Shades of Gay....they'd pull it off too? I know their excuse is BS because I'm sure they received more than 2 reports from the Baptist cuckoos about 50 shades.
Good point. Why don't some of us complain that it violates The Violence Against Women Act?
We should get 5-6 people to do this and see if they pull it out of their site.
But then that means we'd have to buy the book since Amazon considered the opinions from "verified customers".
Good observation. OK, then. Change of plan. Find something you bought -- anything -- and find something offensive about it. Then complain, asking how come Roosh is offensive and that product isn't.
Example: I just went through my old orders and found I'd bought a CD by obscure artist Connie Converse. She supposedly committed suicide. Isn't selling her CD glorifying that and encouraging others to do the same?
Then there's the vintage Gallery magazines I bought from my youth (ban porn!), the German-language Peggy March CDs (Nazi music?), and some early Beach Boys stuff (sexism, American imperialism, non-inclusive, classist, probably racist too).
As you can see, ANYTHING can be offensive. I'll be more than happy to send them a message for EVERY order I ever bought, asking them to explain how it's not offensive.

^^^ A tell they are not responsible is how hard they are trying to push that they are responsible. This seems to be a case of the Huffpost trying to stay relevant. I've had far bigger outlets shit on me and have nothing happen.

Roosh isn't part of the "club" and rising on the best sellers list definitely invoked this ban. As much as I'm a fan, and starting to disagree with what he has to say, imagine if Jordan Peterson spoke about the book. This book getting banned is pretty big. When people who hate Roosh are starting to defend him- there is clearly shift starting to happen. A few years ago it was a lot "easier" to call Roosh a 'rapist', but in the era of "#metoo" - it doesn't work when there are ACTUAL predators (like Weinstein and Spacey).

Roosh, how is this not similar to a SLAAP suit?
Some entity pretends to be defamed, then uses its position to silence you via a third part
I'm not even remotely pretending to be a lawyer but this smells very shaky legal ground. Furthermore, you
have a means to show financial damages.
Call someone like marc radanzaa and see what they say.
Discovery between amazon and huffpost should be interesting, to say the least. If it turns out they are in fact cordinating
i think this would have major implications.
Again, if your livestream and youtube stuff falls into consitutionally protected speech, and youtube is a public place, how is this not a
test case to expand Marshal to the online sphere?
Beinvineto, thats just fucked up in all possible respects. When the president says shitholes, I think this is what he means.

Whats fucked up is that this left wing Californian feminist professor took part and all she ever got from it was academic promotion, fellowship and acclaim whilst Amazon uncritically continue to sell the book.
(Personally, I think she should be allowed to sell the book but then so should Roosh be able to sell his comparatively mild tome. This is the same Amazon that sells Mein Kampf after all)
Roosh, to go with everything else, this is another stick to beat Amazon with.

People are literally saying, "I don't like Roosh, BUT this is wrong". Maybe it's not so much "defending" Roosh, but people are understanding the gravity of the situation and see it a step beyond normal boundaries.
