Manosphere 'The Red Pill Room' / Ian Ironwood - An exceptional intellectual

[melty]

P. 3
Ugh, I did something stupid yesterday and potentially lost some work. I'm still kind of rustled about that.
The more I dig, the deeper I find the rabbit hole goes. Remember when Ian said that he used to be a chef or something?

I worked as a gourmet vendor for five years. I cooked professionally for ten.

One thing you may have noticed is that Ian hasn't technically outright lied about anything. As I suspected, everything he said had some grain of truth, inflated to sound more impressive than it actually is.
The first restaurant Terry worked at post-college was at a Fish n Chips/Oyster bar type place where he shucked oysters among other things probably. After that, he was VP of a local coffee shop that is now closed. So, mystery solved.
I found his presence in the Pagan community online, which is his oldest online presence found to date. He goes by Arion the Blue, High Druid of Durham.

Here he is in 2010 on that Firefly forum claiming he might get a TV series, if you recall lately he's been making claims that his agent is pitching a movie, I assume it will go similarly well.

"Please send me stuff"

"Read my fanfiction!!!"

"Looking for teenage Wiccan girls"

Spoiler

This guy is completely incapable of participating in any online community without making enemies and spilling massive amounts of salt everywhere.

Idk if I wanted to protect my kids I probably wouldn't spew misogynistic trash all over the internet

Uh, so does Pagan magick work sort of like the different colored cards in Magic the Gathering? I have no fucking clue.

More later!

So he basically outted himself on his Firefly fanfic account. What a genius. Also, reading his comments on the series, especially the feminism sperging, and all I can think is, "Oh, so he's one of those Firefly fans." It looks like he's one of those pagans, too.

Watching Mr. Alpha Male get completely rekt by a grandma calling herself "FAERIE QUEEN" is the most beautiful thing I have seen in a long time.

This just keeps getting better and better.

 

[HickoryDickory]

Considering his footprint, do you think he might have one of those weirdo porn accounts? That's one of my favorite info dump types, like Chu's trans fetish or Blaz's BBC one.

I don't know how on earth we'd find it but I'd be interested in seeing some of the writing he had to do for the back of porn DVDs. Sadly his NDA probably will keep him from disclosing which titles have been graced with his work.

Oh, right! Somehow I forgot about his porn writing.

I wonder if there are clues on his blog.

 

[Sanae Kochiya]

He must be incredibly good at putting on a facade around his wife if this is how he spergs out online.

 

[24isthehighestnumber]

So does this little nerd know his secret is out? I'd love a screen shot of him damage controlling the moment the wind is forced out of his impotent misogynist sails.

 

[melty]

Most likely not, he was posting on Reddit as usual a couple of days after my initial post. I think the loveshy forum is less susceptible to the usual crowd of people who get a kick out of telling lolcows their information is on here. I'm sure he'll figure it out eventually though.
I have some of his back of the box porn writing.. somewhere, I'll try to find it.

P. 4
Sorry again for the delay, I was busy all weekend
While I was investigating, I came across a really interesting connection. I found this when I was looking at Terry's restaurant history, so it was on a site completely unrelated to manosphere stuff. North Carolina coffee shop owners outed for misogynist website
The short story is these two guys were well-respected members of the community and owned a popular coffee shop, at least until it was revealed they ran a "game" blog where they posted about all the women they had sex with and the usual misogyny we all know and love. The community became outraged, workers quit and I think the shop is closed now. It happened in the same state Terry lives in, surely he heard of this and would want to be careful.
Anyway here are some of his porn writings, these are all under the Ian Ironwood name so it's not exactly new information but was previously buried in search results. Keep in mind this is the "basis for literally tens of millions of dollars in business" or whatever he said in Lucricities favorite copy paste.

You might be wondering, is Terry Mancour the kind of author who rates his own books under other pseudonyms? The answer is yes he absolutely does. Of course he gives himself 5 stars while that hack GRRM only gets 4 lol.

[HickoryDickory]

His writing is terrible. How did he get to write a Star Trek novel? Or is the bar set so low?

 

[AnOminous]

His writing is terrible. How did he get to write a Star Trek novel? Or is the bar set so low?

The bar is pretty low. Notably, he didn't write another. Many Star Trek novelists churn out one after another. Most of them are at least of workmanlike skill.

 

[melty]

Its unclear why he stopped writing these. The book doesn't have terrible ratings, but it wasn't much of a hit, either. He loves playing that NYTBS author card. Maybe one was enough, he didn't want to expend any more effort? Or perhaps the response was so mediocre he wasn't asked to write more.
Kind of related, I don't have a cap of it but on one of his Spellmonger book pages on Amazon someone is criticizing it and says "no wonder it wasn't picked up by Abe Books" and he saltily replies that Abe Books didn't turn him down, HE turned down Abe Books because he already makes so much money on Amazon. It's hilarious and I really want to find it again.
I see these Star Trek novels a lot at comic book shops and the like, there are a shitton of them. Even as a pretty big Star Trek fan I have very little interest in reading them. If I spot it at a used bookstore or something I'll probably skim through it. There's a big one nearby I go to sometimes, they might have it.

Are you going to get it to review? I only really watch the original Star Trek, with a little TNG...

Hey everybody, remember when Ian said this?


Well lucky for us, we now know! I am pleased to announce that I have conclusive proof that Ian Ironwood's real identity is author Terry Mancour. Heard of him? No? Me neither.
Throughout this thread, we have asked a lot of questions. Is Ian really married? Is he really an author? For the most part, the answer is "yes," but all will become clear if you stick with me. This is going to be long.

Ian Ironwood/Terry Mancour

Ian is indeed an author, more or less. He is currently working on a series called Spellmonger, which is a digitally self-published fantasy series.

The infamous New York Times Bestseller is "Spartacus", a Star Trek TNG novel, written under the name T.L. Mancour:

Now, I will say that I can't find any evidence this book was actually on the NYT bestsellers list. This information is not on the Amazon page, Memory Alpha or Beta or anywhere else except Terry's various author profiles. But with books like this that have an eager pre-existing market, it's not implausible. IMO, a more interesting question is how did he get this gig? And why did he discontinue writing books like this? This is the only Star Trek novel he is responsible for.

Looking at the rest of his library, it's easy to see how this was the highlight of his career. Here is his main author page. Beyond Spartacus, most of the books are self-published, digital copies of his Spellmonger series.

The books actually seem to have something of a small fanbase, there's some action on their facebook page and they all have 100+ customer reviews on Amazon. I probably won't bother reading the books themselves, but will skim reviews for lulz. I have only looked at a handful so far and it's already clear he is an author unafraid to reply angrily to negative reviews.

Here's one Terry replied to:

Gee Terry, did you ever think that maybe if you have an entire forum full of people calling you sexist under one pseudonym, and under an entirely different unrelated pseudonym that writes different work, people are also calling you sexist, that you might, I don't know, be sexist?

Aside from being a fan of Star Trek, fantasy, and raging sexism, Terry is also an avid Firefly fan, and writes Firefly fanfiction under the moniker ScrewTheAlliance. You will all be pleased to learn that he's equally salty and trollable in the other areas of the internet that he frequents. Here he is sperging about Wicca on a Firefly forum:

A lot of people have asked throughout this thread about his wife and I can confirm that he does, in fact, have a wife. She's quite overweight, but overall not that bad looking.
I don't see much reason to delve into her history too much, but I will say that she is indeed very successful, far more successful than our pal Ian. She is owner/president of a clinical research consulting company, holds/has held a couple of a prestigious positions in the field of clinical research and is sometimes asked to speak as an expert for articles and the like. I see no reason to link her to this so I will not post her name and I kindly ask that others refrain from posting it as well.
As for kids, Ian does indeed have 3 young kids. His daughter is in middle school. Again I see no reason to post them and honestly didn't look into them beyond confirming that they all exist. I might investigate the "kidnapping" incident though.

Now, the clinical research bit is important because Ian has a medical condition which puts him in the hospital occasionally and is the likely explanation for his absence as of late. His wife is using her expertise to try and help him. What an amazing woman, right?

Here is his author's blog. For the most part, it's pretty boring.
terrymancour.blogspot.com

Here is an interview some blog did with Terry. Here he drops some interesting tidbits, and talks more about the secret Hollywood project he's mentioned on RPR.
http://thaddeusthesixth.blogspot.com/2012/06/interview-with-terry-mancour-author-of.html

Like many other cows, he uses TV Tropes, here is the page he made for his Spellmonger series

Some Firefly fanfic stuff I have not really gone through
http://www.fireflyfans.net/bluesun.aspx?bid=13347

This is part 1, there is way too much to go through and much more I have not mentioned. I will say that I have painstakingly archived everything of note, in case he tries to delete fucking everything.

So he is basically a househusband who is nearly completely dependent on his wife and writes "pickup guides" that are misogynist even by PUA standards and inane self-published fantasy...

Why does a woman who is an accomplished scientist marry a such a lolcow???

Well, I guess love can make you blind... or maybe she has helper syndrome, we can't know.

 

[HickoryDickory]

I figure he's one of those househusbands that are "Yes, dear. No, dear." His writing might just be an outlet for his alpha alter ego?

 

[melty]

Terry still hasn't updated Red Pill Room in over a year and a half due to his illness, and perhaps seems to have given up on the project. But dont worry, he's moved some of his feminism sperging to his actual official authors blog!

Thirdly, This was inherently difficult book to do from the start. I intended to write it from a female perspective - the third time I've tried to do that, but the first from a mature woman's perspective.

That's a big deal, too. There is a lot of angst happening on social media about The Deplorable State of Female Characters In Fantasy Fiction. From the differing armor standards between male and female action heroes to the lack of good liberal fantasy societies . . . so I wrote Court Wizard.

Here we have a strong, fully-developed female character. A professional woman in her own right who married out of choice and for love in a society that values neither. She has challenges, quests. adversaries, and enemies. A woman powerful in her own right, at the pinnacle of her feudal society.

One might think that would automatically make her a Feminist Icon. But she really isn't. Not as the feminist movement understands it.

You see, what most advocates from the feminist movement want, when they want more "feminist" fantasy stories, seem to be characters torn from modern times in medieval dress. They don't understand some things about the fantasy genre, particularly the Medieval Fantasy genre.

The modern feminist movement is largely a product of post-industrial civilization. Before the Industrial Revolution (Ye Olde Medieval Tymes, in which most high fantasy is set) the dominant form of civilization and culture is agricultural. The things that were in women's self-interest during agricultural times are exactly the things that the modern feminist movement fights against today. In agricultural societies a woman's greatest security came from aligning with a powerful family, the strongest institution available to her. Imagining a realistic feudal, agricultural society that doesn't put a premium on the lives of young men as labor and defense is almost impossible. One that doesn't put a premium on women who have a lot of babies and can keep an orderly house, likewise.

The point is, imagining a strong, resilient woman having adventures in a feudal society is not hard; we have been given ample historical precedent and plenty of mythological precedent. But to do so she must exist within that society, not outside of it.

Further, women are different than men. There, I said it.

In this context, it means that that there is a lot more focus, internally, on the importance of relationships to women, and to truthfully relate that requires a lot more words. Men and women, as a rule, approach things differently, and I wanted to convey that. Women live constantly in a world of context that men, in general, simply don't understand or perceive. I did my best to do that, and that meant going into a lot more depth into Pentandra's relationships as she strives to solve problems.

So for everyone who complains that there are no realistic female characters in fantasy novels: here you go.

...Why is he even trying to write women, again? He clearly thinks women are these alien creatures that he can't really relate to. How is this a good idea? Maybe there aren't good female characters because people like you are writing them

Here's also him getting called out hilariously on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/relationship_advice/comments/49indy/is_my_relantionship_over/
It's old but it never got posted here iir

Yeah, he is in no way a marriage counselor, but oddly enough he doesn't bother disputing this

I also like how he throws around "intersexual relationships" to sound more smart but it just sounds like he's talking about dickgirls

It just sounds so whiny. "Waah, my book is totally great, but it's just too realistic for those damn feminists." I mean, given that he just sent it in, it hasn't even been published yet, but he's already whining about not being acknowledged as an incredible writer of strong female characters. At least wait until people start shredding it to complain about how nobody understands it.

Of course, nobody will actually bother shredding it because nobody gives a shit about his books anyways.

I've been wondering this for a while, but has he given any indication he's aware of the Farms? I thought he might have backed out of the Ian Ironwood "project" because he realized people knew his actual identity.

In the past everyone was more tightly bound into the roles they were born into but nobody wants to read a fantasy story about some poor schlub who was the only surviving child of 13, went on to marry the toothless girl from next door, carefully tended the fields to feed his wife, children, and their pet tapeworms, and then died at 47.

Let me try another one. Once there was a wizard who was called upon by the king to vanquish the vicious foes at the border of their kingdom. The king and his wizard were later tortured to death and erased from history because magic isn't real.

Yeah, he is in no way a marriage counselor, but oddly enough he doesn't bother disputing this

If he was a marriage counselor in any form we'd have heard about it by the time we had his doxx. I wonder how hard everyone would laugh if they knew

I also study human intersexual relationships, marriage, and gender issues for a living.

Meant writing descriptions for porn titles and this

Spoiler

I'm using the "definition" of feminism (lower case) as a movement, not an ideology. It went from women not being "forced" to stay in a marriage to no-fault divorce, resulting in unrestrained hypergamy. The "happily married" feminists that you know are a) going to get divorced eventually in about 70% of cases and b) will suffer from a "sexless marriage" (clinically defined as less than 12 times a year) in most of the other cases.

After 25 years of marriage he believe a woman's vagina will dry up if she's not threatened with the prospect of divorce? I wonder what this says for his one and only relationship?

I just saw this.. late if it's already posted. I haven't looked at it yet but it supposedly has AMA with his wife which could be interesting
