It’s almost impossible to catalogue all the ways men are oppressed by women in contemporary gynocratic society. There are so many! For example, did you know that men are oppressed by female characters in video games? I know, right? The last bastion of red-blooded manliness, invaded by imaginary ladies!
Luckily, the fellows at MGTOWforums.com are on the case, exposing this foul virtual misandry. I Am started off a recent discussion on the subject by asking
WTF is with empowered women in video games now? …
I see a new trend in the video/computer game world and that is the increase in strong playable female characters.
Now, I am no hardcore gamer but I do play computer games often and the recent one I have been playing recently is Shogun 2 total war. Now for those who don’t know what this game is, it is a strategy game based on the military of feudal Japan. I recently bought an upgrade for the game the other day and guess what one of the strongest military units was? Nuns. I shit you not. The nuns had an attack 20% -40% higher than most units in the game. Somehow I doubt that in real life a nun would have swung a sword or used a spear faster and harder than a feudal warlord, and this game was based on history.
Clearly nuns are incapable of manlike swordplay, though it is true that they are capable reenacting famous internet panda sneeze videos. (I have seen video proof of this.) But Shogun 2 does not depict them sneezing like pandas. It depicts them fighting.
This is an outrage because video games are meant to be a perfectly accurate reflection of reality. Obviously there is nothing even slightly unrealistic about any of this:
Most of us dudes are in fact capable of karate-chopping heads in two. We just don’t like to show off all the time.
I think I have the right to ask steam and other gaming companes: WTF with the subliminal brainwashing? What now when I buy or play a game women will be doing all the ass kicking? …
I call bullshit on this subject. Video games are the last place for guys to hang out and now women are taking over. Why not just save us the trouble and instead of eliminating our fantasy world just throw us in work camp to provide for thier bastard children (literally speaking) while they shit all over us…wait they already do that.
I Am is not the only dude who’s noticed this alarming femtrend. Goldenfetus added his observations:
I’ve noticed this too, and it drives me insane. Was co-oping Gears 3 last month and there’s a point where 2nd player has to take over a female character. Almost ruined the game for me. It may seem minor, but once you’re aware of this type of brainwashing it’s impossible to ignore. There’s no way a slim female could keep up with the massive battle-hardened male Gears in that kind of environment. They would be a liability as they are in real life combat.
Exactly! By contrast, the male characters in Gears of War 3 are all completely accurate representations of real-world men.
Goldenfetus continued:
You’ll see the same thing in most stat-based role-playing games as well, where you have the option of a female player character – like Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, D&D, etc. The women never have any strength or intelligence penalties compared to the males. … They want to give the impression that people of any race, gender, and sexual-orientation are interchangeable – that there are no differences in ability between them, and that only a bigot could think otherwise. I’m sick of it too.
At the very least, female characters should be depicted as carriers of cooties.
Despite the very serious subject matter – video game misandry is never funny! – Xtc tried to lighten the mood with a little humor:
It would be hilarious to portray the female characters realistically. If you chose the female character in your FPS [First Person Shooter] she would have to move very slowly, dragging the gun around. You could build in some extra shake to the crosshairs to represent hopeless accuracy. Every time you needed to reload your gun, instead of just pressing a button, you’d have to find a male character and go through some flirting dialogue options to persuade him to do it for you. One out of every four missions the game would tell you that you were sitting out this one due to ‘women’s issues’.
Calloway, for his part, offered some historical perspective:
This is nothing new. I got heavy into gaming back in the late 90’s and even back then they had Tomb Raider, S.I.N., etc. Even in the original Unreal, you played as a big-breasted female.
I saw a documentary on the making of the original Tomb Raider once. The lead character, Lara Croft, was originally going to be a man. They saw him as an Indiana Jones-type character. Then, one of the designers suggested it be a woman because “if you’re going to be playing a game for hours, you might as well have something good to look at”. …
When you first take the red pill, it’s amazing the things you see. It’s as if you had blinders on before, and all of sudden they’ve been removed, allowing you to actually understand what you’ve been seeing.
Yep. And what you’ve been seeing is Lara Croft’s ass. Lara Croft’s ass oppresses men! The red pill tells me so!
Now we come to the clincher.
When you try to get romantic with the imaginary ladies in video games, they don’t act like Roissy and those dudes say ladies act. I mean, you can’t even neg them! As Dave sadly pointed out:
I remember about 12 years ago playing the Baldur’s Gate rpg series and there were some romance dialog paths between your character and some of the women who could join your group but you had to treat them very nice. You couldn’t give them any attitude or make fun of them otherwise it would be over.
Basically you have to be a total mangina towards women in most games if you want to bed them.
Even imaginary ladies are stuck up bitches!
The horror!
I had a
Ami, you are seriously one of the cutest people I know, ears or no.
You are also way braver than me for posting photos of yourself wearing kitty ears in a Meller thread. Won’t you think of his keyboard?
Actually anime may be the answer to our troll problem. If we just let Meller know about catgirl anime, and direct MRAL to some harem shows, maybe they’ll both be too busy to bother us for a while.
Atashi wa Meller-Sensei ni Chobits wo susumetai… Demo… Kowai
I’m trying to think of an anime horrible enough to appeal to NWO. Legend of the Overfiend?
Actually, we could have a lot of fun with the whole kawaii/kowai thing. You know he’s too incapable of listening to women to listen closely enough to notice the difference in pronunciation.
Possibly, because I bet he’d find a way to spin it as a feminist manifesto, somehow.
“You know he’s too incapable of listening to women to listen closely enough to notice the difference in pronunciation.”
oooooooh!
I bet if I did get him to watch CHOBITS, he’d complain that her education carried on past the “going out to buy sexy panties” stage, anyway…
When schoolgirls are raped by giant monsters it just proves that feminists have sexualized children by designing their school uniforms to be too sexy and encouraging young girls to gain orgasms by walking around in short skirts, displaying their animal sexuality. . Also, the inherant evil represented by feminist acts like a magnet for monsters, so if monsters are taking over Tokyo again it’s because women there have become too powerful, and thus the rape of many schoolgirls is actually a corrective action. Order will only be restored when many women are beaten in the streets for their insolence.
This is way too easy.
Darn it, now I will not be able to rest until I own a fox ear hat. I don’t care if I look stupid in it!
“NO community exists, and no community probably even CAN exist, where men and women, from birth onward, are absolutely equal, and show NO differences!”
I’m going to agree with you. No one is equal. There is always someone better then you and less then you in so many ways.
Except that intelligence/emotional intelligence and simple street smarts are what makes a person better, shades of grey dude.
I don’t really need to tell you I’m better then you David K Meller. But let’s count the ways for a moment.
A. People in general like me (at least in the real world).
B. I have a family that loves me. This includes my husband, 4 kidlets, parents and in-laws, friends that often rely on me.
C. My activism is not about ranting on the web. It’s doing things in real life that hopefully changes peoples lives.
D. Although I have nothing against men collecting dolls I’ve never known a male doll collector to think this is in anyway a masculine activity. I know the difference, and you don’t.
E. I can leave my house and talk to people without them walking away backwards slowly.
F. A simple one. I can talk to people offline. You can’t.
End is I am superior then you, not because I’m a woman but because I’m better then you in life. Sorry about that.
*Glances at 4chan, 2ch, etc.*
I see a problem with the proposed solution.
“Ami, you are seriously one of the cutest people I know, ears or no.”
I agree with that. Sure, anything cat related can be considered as an unfair advantage, but this level of cuteness in a adult is mind-boggling.
These guys know warlords aren’t actually the biggest ass kickers in the army, right? They’re not in charge because they hit hardest..
No one seems to have told Koei (company that makes the Dynasty/Samurai Warriors games) that, since that’s literally the whole premise.
*Glances at 4chan, 2ch, etc.*

True..,. Though… Meller attempting to join an image board convo… Possibly worth money to see…
…
Meller-Sensei, as always, reading over your odd, sad, hateful, turgid little Lecture From A Place O’ Learning to me on how things work, I’m struck by just what a salad of wrong it is. And so the glorious problem arises of where to even begin.
A quick run over the failures of your own internal logic, pure numerical or factual errors, a “why x word does not mean what you say it means” talk, a bit of learning to history, a bit of kindergarten basics in the political philosophy you continue to claim you espouse, a question as to the odd mid-century mass production out-of-scale economy you seem to see as inevitable, and other further requests for elaboration on the many ins and outs of Mellerland… And of course, a touch of “Dude, did you just say your dolls love you and call them a harem?”
The approaches to take are so many, the paths branch out so far and in such limitless direction, one is almost paralyzed.
I wonder what it must be like to have such a heated, overactive, yet so stunted and limited imagination.
Ah well, I’ll be back tonight and we’ll see what happens. I will note that as with kittens, women, and Rothbard’s critique of egalitarianism, and oh, yes, freedom of association, Laissez Faire, most beautiful of over-squawked phrases in vulgar asshole libertarian-american franglish parlance, is not likely to do what you want it to, or be what you think it is, on any planet in this solar system.
“No one seems to have told Koei (company that makes the Dynasty/Samurai Warriors games) that, since that’s literally the whole premise.”
I think we’ve covered that in the discussion of Red Cliff – Romance Of The Three Kingdoms and associated spinoff media brings the asskicking in it’s own category XD
Meller: Not wishing to burst your bubble but your case is so rare, it is unlikely that ANY valid statistical generalizations can be drawn! One woman in a billion (or so
Gladly pointing out that those pesky little things called facts are in the way. You argument is that roughtly 10 women are mentally able to pursue such a degree. It’s false on it’s face, even if we discount those who are able, but not interested and those are able but prevented.
The response, that there are so many more men than women in a field doesn’t mean the ability is equal. It is just as possible that social forces have made it difficult (if not impossible) for those women who are interested to succeed.
Guess again! In Mellertopia, meritocracy is determined by results, and by accurate predictions whose accuracy is confirmed by the results! Gender–and race–is only noted in passing where warranted!
Guess what… in Mellibertopia; Meller lies. Results will be shaped by the baseless prejudices of Meller. Otherwise the nasty fact that women are as capable of thought as men will rear its ugly head and he will have a sad.
I must say, Ami, you have a very interesting face.
Pecunium – “Guess what… in Mellibertopia; Meller lies. Results will be shaped by the baseless prejudices of Meller. Otherwise the nasty fact that women are as capable of thought as men will rear its ugly head and he will have a sad.”
Isn’t he just the cutest little liar that lies? Still, when he tries to say he believes in “meritocracy” and “results” the world that emerges and the standards of such are still fun as fudge to imagine. – I note, in the last missive, the fact that apparently any sort of success in any endeavor shall be determined by investors, who will apparently be required for any endeavor that may be successful. And certainly, every thing is risky, and NO investor would be careless with their gold (duh, of course it’s gold)!
I love picturing Serious Profit Minded Results Oriented Scientifically Racist Mellerian Investors, who travel in hovercars, wearing Grey Flannel Suits, with Victorian eyeshades on their brows, calculating people’s odds of profit with frilly quill pens in green ledgers while muttering: “Hmmph, let us see, whose xylophone playing shall I underwrite… Here’s an application…Oh! My stars! A Negro! Well, we all remember what happened LAST time…”
And by love, I mean find hilarious, but then I get all frightened and weirded out and kind of sick again, but hey!
Yeah, isn’t it funny (but not really) how white male supremacists like Meller et al attribute the success of any individual white male to the greatness of white males collectively, and the failure (or lack of success) of any individual white male is an anomaly peculiar to that particular individual, whereas for all who are not white males, ’tis the inverse.
I know Meller didn’t actually write this, but it’s too good not to include in the Mellertopia section of the Book! 😛
well since this thread is still going I thought that I’d toss in the point that struck me as strangest from the esteemed DKM:
emphasis added.
“soft”… now for some reason through all the previous discussions where Meller brought up his doll habits I have been working under the impression that he’s harkening back to victorian style dolls. Like women from the fashion plates of the bygone days…
I’m a costumer, and have dressed up both period and victorian/steampunk, and I’ve got to tell you that if you think those womenwere “soft” you have another think coming! First off to keep the proper volume in the skirts you have to either starch the heck out of alraedy stiff fabrics, or toss in layers of stiff netting, then the top layer, to drape properly is a pretty stiff fabric trimmed with starched lace. And that’s just the skirt. Have you ever touched someone wearing a properly boned corset? It’s at least three layers of fabric (one of sturdy canvas) and then all the steel boning… I swear I could stop a blade wearing a corset… and I dare anyone to call it “soft”.
Other things I can’t do in a corset include lying down, picking up items from the ground, and sitting on anything but the edge of a chair… it’s a device intended to a) keep the breasts high and on display, and b) keep the body in one adn only one position.
soft… not likely!
Just more evidence that Meller doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about!
Honestly, I don’t think there’s anything anyone can do to get through to a man who’s definition of “real” is literally “Whatever shit I make up.” This is man who sincerely thinks inanimate objects love him and women who actually exist are fake because they’re sentient.
He doesn’t even understand how cats work.
