Our videomaking friend Graham, also known as Some Grey Bloke, is back, finally. In his new video, he explains his long absence, due in part to what seems to have been a rather large misunderstanding between him and the Men’s Rights Activists of the world, who somehow interpreted the newfound enthusiasm for Men’s Rights he showed in his last video as a sort of satire. (How could anyone be drawn to mock or satirize the serious and important Men’s Rights movement?)
Anyway, here’s his new video. And below it, his previous video on “The Manosphere,” which seems to have gotten 49,208 more views than my last video on the subject. Which I’ve also embedded below. It’s not as good as his, but perhaps you could watch it also.
Thirded! If that is a word.
It is now.
Ooh, MRAL is a she now? Awesome! Now she gets to know what spitting on men is like! Do you think she’ll find some mediocre dude to have sex with out of obligation to men, or will the power go to her head?
*grabs some popcorn… chicken. Meat is delicious*
I’m not really comfortable inflicting things I think are ethically wrong, even when the proposed target is a jackass.
*sighs, and puts away popcorn*
Ah well… It’s not like MRAL would learn anything by being subject to the wrong pronoun for the five seconds it takes him to read our comments… Unless somehow its one of his inexplicable triggers that turn him into a fanatic capslock-abusing rager.
Hmm Rutee I think you’re right. Sorry.
“I’m not really comfortable inflicting things I think are ethically wrong, even when the proposed target is a jackass.”
This occurred to me after I typed it. But it was great to just *imagine* for five minutes. 😛
Does this mean I can’t call him my little/big happy ray of sunshine?
That’s just sarcastic mockery, I can’t imagine what the problem is there XD
But misgendering people is actually wrong, and we shouldn’t be doing it just because mral is an asshole.
I agree, actually. Although I’m sure FF will whine about the mockery too.
All right. *sighs* Am I allowed to giggle at the thought?
Just call him USian. That’ll piss him off quite nicely. Not that it’s hard to do.
It would indeed be fun to call MRAL “she,” but I agree that “he’s a dickwad” is not justification to treat him in a way you don’t want people to be treated.
Molly: I don’t think she is the best way to point this out. If one were to misgender MRAL deserves “zie/zir”, all things considered.
But we can remind him that he’s a USian.
Oh, good, now I can mock him properly:
MRAL, YOU GENDER POLICING USIAN TWIT, YOU!
How about we make all pronouns referring to MRAL “douche”, and variations thereof, until further notice?
I love it! subbing him now 🙂
I wonder what kind of uniform a gender cop would have
