Breaking News: Men’s Rights mod on Reddit is kind of a dick

So, funny story.

Earlier today, some guy on the Men’s Rights subreddit made a not-so-vaguely threatening remark about me. I sent the mod a message about it, and, well, this was his response:

Yeah. Pretty sure that’s not exactly the way Reddit wants its mods to behave.

Wow, so its not that threatening you with violence was bad its the fact that you complained about it. o_0 Yep victim blaming can’t say I’m surprised.

I’m actually surprised you complained… I figured this would be par for the course and they’d just mock you if you complained : How many threats do you get a day… -_-

Wow 😛 I learned about the men’s right reddit when they started trolling our feminist classic online discussion group. Telling us on one post that feminists are terrorists – oh the power!

I can’t say I disagree with his characterization of you as a ninny.

The impression I got was that both comments were being sarcastic. I really see nothing wrong in this case.

Oh-ho. Zing! Like nobody here ever tries to insult the blog owner. Next you’ll be insulting the commentariat here. Then we really won’t know what to do!

I find that people who make threats from behind anonymous usernames are typically unable to cash the checks they right as brave internet posters.

Things Are Bad has a blog of the same name with the tagline “Things Are Bad will document anything and everything wrong with the world and provide answers to the question: Why do bad things happen?”

One of the reasons? FEMINISM!

This doesn’t surprise me, it’s pretty typical of abusers that they dismiss and excuse violence.

It really amuses me when one of these shitstains actually says what he’s feeling and expresses their inner fascist desire to physically assault someone for daring to say things they don’t like. And then the other shitstains start scurrying around flailing their hands shouting, “ZOMG, DON’T ADVOCATE VIOLENCE, IT MAKES US LOOK BAD!”. News flash, dumbasses. You all ready look bad. One of your fellow knuckle-draggers coming right out and saying what most of you probably think all ready isn’t some kind of amazing revelation none of us could have guessed at. We all ready know what you tell each other when you think only sympathetic eyes are watching, this is nothing more than an unintentional display of honesty on the part of one of your own.

ewme, trust me on this, you don’t need to affect a speech pattern like that for anyone to realize you’re not the sharpest knife in the drawer. It’s nice that you’d do that just to make it clearer, but it’s really not necessary.

It was a joke, morons.

I love all the leftwing slander by socialists in Europe and elsewhere jumping on the bandwagon.

Hey you Swedish people. Don’t you love that whole trumped up bullshit about Assange?

How about that Man Tax that men should pay for being men one of your political parties put forth as policy?

Suuuure it was. We believe you. I’m sure the thought of doing violence to people who disagree with you lot has never for a second entered your innocent heads, you poor put-upon widdle darlings. I’m sure it’s just one of those funny coincidences that so much of your “humor” seems to involve using force against people you don’t like.
