Chateau Heartiste

{{mrm}}
{{cquote|Chateau Heartiste has written that game can save the West. Disbelievers scoff. But if this outpost of sanity had been around during Hitler’s flowering youth to enlighten him about the nature of the fairer sex, the West might very well have been saved.|||we can't make this shit up<ref name=hitler />}}
'''Chateau Heartiste''' was a blog run by '''James C. Weidmann''' (aka '''Roissy in D.C.''') that promotes [[PUA|pick-up artistry]], [[white nationalism]], and anti-Leftist [[political]] activism.

[[Style over substance|Aside from content]], Weidmann's writing style is notably wordy and obnoxious.

The original blog was banned by Wordpress in 2019, and [[Infowars]] was clearly butthurt about it <ref>[https://www.infowars.com/manosphere-blog-chateau-heartiste-banned-by-wordpress/ Manosphere log Chateau Heartiste banned by Wordpress], Infowars, 13 May 2019.</ref>. But Weidmann now appears to have registered his own domain name and begun posting there.

==Misogyny==

{{main|Misogyny}}
{{cquote|Lies and ego-salving bromides come as easily to them as eating another piece of pie.|||James Weidmann on fat women<ref name=fat />}}
{{cquote|Her mind is an alien world that requires deft navigation to reach your rendevous.|||James Weidmann, experienced explorer of "alien worlds"<ref name=poon />}}
Weidmann's specialty is anti-female bigotry couched in [[evolutionary psychology|appeals to "evolution" and "nature"]]. The blog has an entire category dedicated to "Science Validates Game", whose posts generally follow this format: Weidmann mentions a single scientific study, bolds a sentence or two "proving" that women are conniving bitches, and adds liquefied snobbery.<ref>{{a|https://heartiste.wordpress.com/category/science-validates-game/|Archive for the ‘Science Validates Game’ Category}} on Weidmann's blog.</ref>

===Sixteen Commandments===
{{cquote|Women aren't a monolithic alien entity. I'd suggest replacing this overwrought list of commandments with this: 1. Treat us like human beings.|||La Petite<ref name=poon />}}
For some prime examples of evo-psych woo, we turn to one of Weidmann's most popular posts: "The Sixteen Commandments of Poon".<ref name=poon>{{a|https://heartiste.wordpress.com/the-sixteen-commandments-of-poon/|The Sixteen Commandments Of Poon}}, Chateau Heartiste, 2008.</ref> Weidmann's advice for men seems to be: [1] Act like an asshole and [2] Never open yourself up to any woman. Top tips include:

2: Be a flirt, because jealousy arouses women:

{{quotebox|Flirt with other women in front of her. Do not dissuade other women from flirting with you. Women will never admit this but jealousy excites them. The thought of you turning on another woman will arouse her sexually. No girl wants a man that no other woman wants. The partner who harnesses the gale storm of jealousy controls the direction of the relationship.}}

3 & 4: Respect women by denying their autonomy:

{{quotebox|Despite whatever protestations to the contrary, women do not want to be "The One" or the center of a man's existence. They in fact want to subordinate themselves to a worthy man’s life purpose, to help him achieve that purpose with their feminine support, and to follow the path he lays out. You must respect a woman’s integrity and not lie to her that she is “your everything”. She is not your everything, and if she is, she will soon not be anymore.}}

{{quotebox|If you allow a woman to make the rules she will resent you with a seething contempt even a rapist cannot inspire. The strongest woman and the most strident feminist wants to be led by, and to submit to, a more powerful man.}}

7: Tell lies and be inconsistent, because women love insecurity:

{{quotebox|True to their inscrutable natures, women ask questions they don’t really want direct answers to. Woe be the man who plays it straight — his fate is the suffering of the beta. Evade, tease, obfuscate. She thrives when she has to imagine what you’re thinking about her, and withers when she knows exactly how you feel. A woman may want financial and family security, but she does not want passion security. In the same manner, when she has displeased you, punish swiftly, but when she has done you right, reward slowly. Reward her good behavior intermittently and unpredictably and she will never tire of working hard to please you.}}

12 & 16: [[Manosphere_glossary#Plate_theory|Keep those plates spinning:]]

{{quotebox|Never allow yourself to be a "kept man". A man with options is a man without need. It builds confidence and encourages boldness with women if there is another woman, a safety net, to catch you in case you slip and risk a breakup, divorce, or a lost prospect, leading to loneliness and a grinding dry spell.}}

{{quotebox|Never be afraid to lose her. [....] You will walk away from her when she has violated your integrity, and you will let her walk when her heart is closed to you. She who can destroy you, controls you. Don’t give her that power over yourself. Love yourself before you love her.}}

Notably, Weidmann doesn't cite any sources or even make solid arguments ''for'' any of these points. He appears to assume that "this is just how women are" and work from there.

===Ephebophilia===
{{main|Ephebophilia}}
Weidmann justifies male attraction to teenage girls as good because it is natural:<ref>{{a|https://heartiste.wordpress.com/2008/03/30/march-2008-comment-winner/|March 2008 Comment Winner}}, Chateau Heartiste</ref>

{{quotebox|[[Appeal to nature|It is a fact of life]] that young teenage girls who have developed secondary sexual characteristics are desired by men of all ages, even 90 year olds. And these exquisite nymphets, in turn, desire older men for their power. [[Appeal to nature|These desires are natural]], and frightening to [[Conspiracy theory|the keepers of the order]]. They provoke the envy of the left behind, and so are condemned.}}

===Other examples===
*Women who get fat have destroyed themselves:<ref name=fat>{{a|http://heartiste.wordpress.com/2011/04/20/before-and-after-the-hilarity-of-self-deception|Before And After: The Hilarity Of Self-Deception}}, Chateau Heartiste.</ref>

{{quotebox|For girls who are gaining weight, the uglification of their looks can sometimes take months or even years to register in their consciousness, because the change is relatively slow and thus more easily psychologically accommodated by their hamsters which are loathe to contemplate the true nature of the horrors they have committed against themselves. But when you put the thin and fat pics side by side the comparison is so stark there is no running from the cruel truth: these girls have destroyed their sexiness.}}

==White nationalism==
Weidmann is also a [[White nationalism|White Nationalist]]. He says he opposes the movement but only because it is "not sexist enough" for him — and worth noting is that [[Andrew Anglin|a particular hatred for white women]] would appear to be an integral part of the movement.<ref>{{a|http://heartiste.wordpress.com/2012/09/20/white-woman/|White Women}}, Chateau Heartiste.</ref> Otherwise, his talking points are the same. He does not even try to hide his racism: He thinks "white civilization" is getting destroyed<ref>{{a|http://heartiste.wordpress.com/2013/08/08/comment-of-the-week-60-years-of-shivving/|Comment Of The Week: 60 Years Of Shivving}}, Chateau Heartiste.</ref> as it is "overrun by Uruk-Hai".<ref>{{a|http://heartiste.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/white-on-white-war/|White On White War}}, Chateau Heartiste.</ref> The only solution to the terrible prospect of Whites becoming a minority is, according to Weidmann, to forcefully deport all minorities.<ref>{{a|http://heartiste.wordpress.com/2013/06/13/white-majority-in-the-us-gone-by-2043/|White Majority In The US Gone By 2043}}, Chateau Heartiste.</ref> However, this will not happen as, according to him, the "elites" have an "anti-white ideology" and plan to [[White extinction scenario|destroy the white race]].<ref>{{a|http://heartiste.wordpress.com/2014/02/24/parade-of-humiliations/|Parade Of Humiliations}}, Chateau Heartiste.</ref><ref>{{a|http://heartiste.wordpress.com/2013/09/20/do-the-white-elite-dream-of-mulatto-sheep/|Do The White Elite Dream Of Mulatto Sheep?}}, Chateau Heartiste.</ref>

===Historical analysis===
{{cquote|So if beta Hitler was able to rise to power, create a cult of personality, bring war upon Europe, and slaughter millions of people, what would Alpha Hitler have accomplished?<br>Coming to an anti-Semitic theater near you: '''Alpha Hitler.''' This time, he's got game.|||/r/badhistory<ref name=redditbeta>[https://www.reddit.com/r/badhistory/comments/1l5k9c/why_did_the_holocaust_occur_according_to_the/cbw0iwv/ Why did the holocaust occur? According to the manosphere, because Hitler was a beta male]. Reddit, 26 August 2013.</ref>}}
Weidmann's most absurd claim is that [[Adolf Hitler]] was a [[Beta|beta male]] who wouldn't have started [[WWII]] if he'd read [[Delusions of grandeur|Weidmann's blog]]:<ref name=hitler>{{a|http://heartiste.wordpress.com/2013/08/26/hitler-was-beta/|Hitler Was Beta}}, Chateau Heartiste.</ref>

{{quotebox|A part of me feels not just pity, but even tender admiration, for young Hitler’s romantic idealism, so pure of thought and intention. This was a Hitler, however misguided, who denied a cynical world its tribute in parcels of his uncorrupted soul. How might things have turned out differently had a strong male presence — an alpha male mentor — shown him the way to fulfill his burning desire?}}

{{quotebox|[P]erhaps, even more sinisterly, Hitler became the man he did when, as a young man in the grip of hot unrequited love, his Jewish princess “rejected” him for the charming alpha males Hitler despised. What followed from that irreparable wound to his heart was an act of id vengeance that would set fire to the world. Was WWI {{sic}} then, the revenge of a beta male scorned?}}

It's also decidedly [[pseudohistorical]] (and has been soundly mocked<ref name=redditbeta /><ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheBluePill/comments/1l52w9/hitler_started_wwii_because_he_was_a_beta_who_was/ Hitler started WWII because he was a beta who was rejected by a girl when he was in his late teens. Historical fact]. Reddit, 26 August 2013.</ref>). Hitler had {{wpl|Eva Braun|a long-time girlfriend}}. Perhaps more importantly, as noted above, he led a movement that took control of a country, oversaw brutal state crackdown on political dissidents, and intentionally killed millions more -- not characteristics often associated with "man who cannot get laid".

==Poetry==
{{cquote|The legend lives on from the Left Coast on down<br>of the beta they called “Cuckold Freddie.”<br>The cuck, it is said, sits alone near the bed<br>when the thighs of his wife spread to darkies.<br>With a load of mandingo twenty inches more flaccid<br>than the Beta Male Cuckold at full chubby,<br>that goon man and true worked his bone black and blue<br>when his wife and her lover slapped uglies.|||Weidmann actually believes this<ref>{{a|http://heartiste.wordpress.com/2014/01/22/the-wreck-of-the-beta-male-cuckold/|The Wreck of the Beta Male Cuckold}}, Chateau Heartiste.</ref>}}

==Omega capitalist==
Weidmann's blog has no obvious ads or corporate sponsorship of his website, suggesting he's not in it for the money but rather for the approval-seeking attention ("omega"-male characteristic) of the manosphere, despite his claims of being an alpha.

==Origin of name==
The use of the pen name “Roissy” and referring to his blog as a “Chateau” are presumably a reference to ''The Story of O'', a French romantic novel from the 1950s that was influential in the BDSM community (and which feminists hated, by the way). It was sort of an earlier, much more extreme, French version of ''Fifty Shades of Grey''.
