Readers! Commenters! I am now (a bit late, I know) collecting nominations for Man Boobz Troll of the Year. Put forward your choice (or choices), and make the case for them, in the comments below. Feel free to make up your own categories for Troll Awards as well; I want to recognize the many and varied contributions of our many and varied trolls.
The winner(s) will receive little tiaras. But they have to go buy them for themselves, with their own money.
I am also collecting nominations for Man Boobz Troll Hunter of the Year – that is, the commenter or commenters here who you think have fought the good fight in the bestest possible ways. Again, you are free to make up your own categories for these awards.
The winner(s) here will receive a FREE viewing of the movie TrollHunter!It’s Norwegian! And really quite awesome, a faux documentary about the life of a Trolljegeren working secretly for the Norwegian government. Scary and hilarious!
Oh, and by “free viewing” I mean you can watch it on Netflix instant, if you’ve got Netflix. Hey, I’m kind of broke here. On the plus side, you can watch it even if you don’t win!
DKM: Furries may not be like little lady lovelies, but they ARE warm, soft, and lovable, and they bring out the best in a man, NOT the worst.
Even the male furries?
Have a MALE FURRY DOLLMAKER, *airkisses*!!
Okay…so Meller doesn’t even like real animals. He likes fake ones. That…that actually makes so much sense that I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of this before.
All I can think of now is the one extremely disturbing day on the Internet when I was linked to a site providing tutorials for how to make silk vaginas and put them in plush toys.
If you’ll excuse, I’m going to go pour some bleach in my ears.
I feel like we should, as a public service start posting Meller’s comments onto other Men’s Rights Forums. Because ultimately, he is the end point of where mysogyny leads; a bitter lonely life unable to connect to another human being, or even to see other human beings as truly human.
Jesus, Meller, you must be so goddamn lonely, and I don’t think you’ll ever try to change it. It makes me want to cry.
DKM: no, I am not giving a moment’s credence to the fairytales about youall having these wonderful relationships–in men, and for all I know, in each other as well.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Has anybody here questioned your veracity when it comes to your dollies and plushies? No, we accept that you are telling the truth.
One cannot know for sure, of course, but I’ve always found it best to accept what people tell me in internet communities until and unless enough evidence is amassed to make it clear they’re lying (NWO, for example, has come out with some apparently contradictory stuff and people who note/remember that have pointed it out).
It’s only polite, after all.
OOPS, here’s the link for the MALE FURRY DOLLMAKER.
I wouldn’t want to raise DKM’s hopes and then cruelly dash them to the ground.

I’ll spell it out for you a little bit, DKM! We’ll call it:
Viscaria’s Tips for Successful Bad-Faith Manipulation of Discussions on Manboobz
Chapter 1: Sockpuppetry.
Do you find that none of the feminist shrikes on Manboobz are rushing in to agree with you? Those cruel harridans! But no matter, you can make your own Manboobz champion with the technique known as sockpuppetry! A sock puppet is to real-life supporters what a creepy doll is to a real-life girlfriend: only an imitation, but better than the real thing because it has no pesky will of its own. So, let’s get started!
Step 1: Use a different email address than you usually do.
This step is very important, because your gravatar is linked to your email address. Unfortunately, many Manboobz readers are more intelligent than your average lamp (this will cause us trouble later in the chapter as well) and will be able to recognize a gravatar that they have seen many times before, especially if they only have to scroll up half of a page to see it beside your usual ‘nym.
Step 2: Choose your name wisely.
Take a glance at the ‘nym of other commenters on the site. Then, take a look at your usual handle. Is there something unique to your ‘nym, something that makes you immediately stand out? Try not using that exact same quality in the new handle you devise. Perhaps you can try naming yourself after an animal or plant! The author of these tips has drawn her own ‘nym from a flower. But you wouldn’t want to do that, because flowers are girly. Gross.
Step 3: Act as if you have not encountered these unfluffy types before.
While it is very tempting to respond to the vicious attacks the Manboobz shrikes have sent your way, it’s probably best to use your regular account to do this. When your sock puppet starts defending you in the 1st person, some may become suspicious. This is where that “smarter than a lamp” problem comes up once more.
Step 4: Try to do something – anything – to distinguish your sock’s writing from your usual style
We all have tics in our writing that may stick out in the minds of our readers. Some writers will use a very casual voice, some writers have a fondness for certain words, and some writers write as if they were 17th century vampires with a sticky exclamation mark key. It can be hard, sometimes, to recognize our own writing quirks, so this is where you will want to employ the same techniques as you did in step 2. Take a glance around at the other comments – what differences exist between those comments and your own? How often, say, do these other comments use feminine suffixes, or use a question mark in brackets beside a word (as in, “women(?)”). Once you have discovered some of the distinguishing features of your own writing style, try to avoid them when writing in your sock’s voice.
Step 5: Have fun!
You now have all the tools you need to make those unloving shrews squirm! Enjoy watching them as, one by one, they renounce feminism and pledge to find a man to submit to, like perfect porcelain dolls made flesh.
Bravo, Viscaria!
@Viscaria –
Love it.
@DKM: Speaking of which, are you aware that your fantasy that all but a few bitter/shrike/feminist lezzies are all chromosomally standardized is about as realistic as every other view of the world you have?

The more we learn about human genetics, the more chromosomal variations we find!
I mean, I know it’s hard to think that God didn’t use a cookiecutter to make MAN AND WOMAN IN HISHER image, but really–the species is a lot more complicated than anything you can imagine.
Medusa a.k.a. “Ithiliana”–January 1, 2012 @8:37pm
I have NO interest in a male doll maker, or in male dolls. There may be a benefit to what he can offer to practicing homos, but I am HETEROSEXUAL!! I like women! I have no interest in, and no attraction for male dolls for any purpose whatsoever! In fact they would be the last things i would want in my “harem”!
Nothing is wrong with homosexuality (or lesbianism) for those who are inclined to it to the exclusion of normal sexual orientation, and if gays want to e.g. get married or live together as partners, that is fine, as far as I can see! It ain’t my bag, never was, and never will be!
@Viscaria: *applauds wildly after pausing to clean up monitor after spit take at this
I blush to admit my first thought was that Ami was parodying again (not realizing the images are so tied to specific email), but I soon realized that her parodies would be much more over the top and FUNNY.
Maybe he’s hoping if he puppets enough, he can win next year?
I literally snorted at “practicing homos.” It’s nice that DKM is okay with gay marriage though.
@DKM: So you cruelly reject male furries?
Ah, woes, the tragedy of it all.
(And thanks for recognizing my avatar figure–Medusa, one of my SHEROES).
So what are straight women, chopped liver!
Also, I’m not sure if you count as attracted to women when you aren’t attracted to any actual women.
Does DKM realize that Medusa was not originally depicted as a monster like she is today? She was stunningly beautiful, just with snakes for hair (which is pretty awesome, if you ask me.)
“Practicing homos” is one of the most ridiculous phrases ever.
Mellertron, you know that your icon only changes if your email address is different right? XD
Mind you, you’re a man, so OF COURSE you know! xD You know all! Men don’t make stupid mistakes, esp not involving technology!
Are you bitter you barely lost out to NWO or something? o_O
I have to admit you worked hard in the last few months, but NWO had a strong start. And he found his nemesis in me, while it wasn’t until Zhinxy showed up you really found yours, so you had some good fights but it was near the end of the year : Me and NWO just had too big a head start! Better luck to you and your nemesis/dance partner this year! 😀
Meller – “Nothing is wrong with homosexuality (or lesbianism) for those who are inclined to it to the exclusion of normal sexual orientation…”
Then why all the sneering at “lezzies?” (I’m just going to leave aside the bisexuals, etc, exist lesson for today)
Is this like your utterly bizarre abortion-themed “Soviet Chinese Nazi Libertarian baby-killer ” rants at me regarding abortion, and then suddenly you’re pro-choice?
@ Meller: “Nothing is wrong with homosexuality (or lesbianism) for those who are inclined to it to the exclusion of normal sexual orientation…”
Dude, you are sexually interested in dolls. Prime example of other forms of non “normal” sexual orientation.
@Pervocracy Meller’s attracted to me! (NWO: “EXACTLY WHAT HOLLY SAID”) He’d just be MORE so if I was artificial (NWO: you are! YOU ARE THE MOST ARTIFICIAL OF ALL WOMEN) and I couldn’t speak (NWO: You can, barely. I just wish you’d STOP TRYING TO!)
Who even needs NWO and Mellertron? xD Just give the trophy to me! 😀 I can replace them all :3 See! it’s just like the MRA’s idea of real life! White male labour is being replaced by Asian female labour!
BTW, I think we just negged Meller XD
Game WORKS!
Think about it, we just snubbed Meller for the trophy and now he’s working EXTRA HARD to get our validation xD
Meller’s attracted to you?
I am so, so, so sorry.
(Also, really? Does he know how non-porcelain and distressingly pulse-owning you are?)
@M Dubz ah, but he’s interested in FEMALE dolls! he may be an Agalmatophile but he’s a HETERO Agalmatophile xD
Holly, if I recall, he said she was cute, but compared to his dolls not cute enough to make up for being a hideous modern woman. And in real woman land, if women were real women, she woudl be about a 6. something like that.
He said I was cute and pretty and stuff, and I deserve better than to be hanging around feminists and I don’t need to do it to feel better about myself xD But then when I called him on it, he backtracked and said that was relative to me as a human being and his dolls are still way sexier XD
Yeah I’m a 6 compared to his dolls xD
