Q: should we start a new general thread for making fun of Red Pill/Return of Kings/MRA shit?
― my jaw left (Hurting 2), Friday, 31 October 2014 13:50 (nine years ago) link
did the other MRA thread get closed?
― ⌘-B (mh), Friday, 31 October 2014 13:59 (nine years ago) link
I'll re-open the thread.
― how's life, Friday, 31 October 2014 14:00 (nine years ago) link
Maybe there should be a new thread though for real. It seems like there was some confusion/bitterness around whether it could be a serious discussion or was just a thread to make fun of shit.
― my jaw left (Hurting 2), Friday, 31 October 2014 14:01 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I mean, it veered wildly in tone. I don't know. The option's there if you want to use the old one or you could start a new one that isn't inhabited by the ghosts of dead clusterfucks.
― how's life, Friday, 31 October 2014 14:03 (nine years ago) link
oh yeah. new one, please
― ⌘-B (mh), Friday, 31 October 2014 14:12 (nine years ago) link
Ok, suggest a title? Something like Rolling Thread for NON-Serious Discussion of MRA/Red Pill/Return of Kings/Miscellaneous Neckbeardery
― my jaw left (Hurting 2), Friday, 31 October 2014 14:29 (nine years ago) link
discussion of MRA fuckery
― ⌘-B (mh), Friday, 31 October 2014 14:30 (nine years ago) link
no, don't attract attn. these dudes are nuts
i think misc neckbeardery is ok tho. maybe too much fedora tho
― caucasity and the sundance kid (goole), Friday, 31 October 2014 14:31 (nine years ago) link
the fedora thread would work if there wasn't so much actual had discussion going on
― my jaw left (Hurting 2), Friday, 31 October 2014 14:41 (nine years ago) link
Maybe we could make it a 77 thread if there's concern about randoms showing up
― my jaw left (Hurting 2), Friday, 31 October 2014 14:46 (nine years ago) link
as a non-77er I would be sad if my right to laugh at neckbeards was denied

xp to crut: yeah I can see for similar reasons to the "Is This Racist" thread that we don't want to just have a thread of "Here's a big heaping pile of toxic woman hating" thread. But some of this shit is so unintentionally hilarious. So w/e, I defer to mods if they want to lock the thread I started.

(aside from inchoate anti-woman rage of course) the illiteracy and miseducation of GG is the thing that drives me up a fuckin wall most
“If you’re going to demonize the word [gamer], then demonize ‘feminism’ too,” wrote one reader with the display name I’m a Gamer, “because it’s been hijacked by radicalists trying to subjugate men.”
"radicalists"?

Like, you really have to have never ever watched an interview with anyone to believe that.

Also the idea that she wants ''all games to be Candy Crush or Angry Birds,'' which requires you misread virtually every word in all of her videos, interviews and writings.
― Doctor Casino, Friday, 31 October 2014 21:34 (nine years ago) link
I doubt very much if all but a handful of these fucknuts have ever bothered to do any of those things
― bizarro gazzara, Friday, 31 October 2014 21:45 (nine years ago) link
There was even specifically a segment in one of her videos about gender stereotyping in Angry Birds.

A meme that I have seen often in MRA/Redpill/ROK/Gamergate/random other black hold internet comment threads is "I think feminism achieved some good once when it was just fighting for equal rights for women, but now the RADICAL feminists have ruined everything." It's very much parallel imo to people who claim to be for civil rights but you know that was a thing we already sorted out and now these angry blacks keep playing the race card.

i don't think i've read anything by any of these guys where they've used the word feminist w/o throwing radical in front of it, which is SOP form of dismissing the interest of the other
― Clay, Saturday, 1 November 2014 01:52 (nine years ago) link
yeah I mean it's just a rhetorically defensive move "Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about the RADICAL feminists," but then everything remotely feminist gets termed "radical."
― my jaw left (Hurting 2), Saturday, 1 November 2014 02:16 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, especially given that ''this media artifact has worrisome gendered tropes'' has to be one of THE mildest feminist tendencies possible, it's like, just, gender studies 101 or high school advanced literature class stuff. If these clowns actually encountered a radical feminist I think their faces would melt off like Eaiders of the Lost Ark.
― Doctor Casino, Saturday, 1 November 2014 04:27 (nine years ago) link
"Now I know what I am, I was worried because I thought I should be a feminist, but now I know I'm something better - an equalist"
