Devastating new "fly" slogan gives MRAs the edge in the war of ideas

Well, my fellow feminists, we might as well pack it in. For the forces arrayed against us have a devastating, nay brutal, new slogan.

The Counter-Feminist Agent of Change (CFAC) who calls himself Fidelbogen explained in a recent post how this “wicked new slogan” came to him. Also, what the slogan is:

This occurred to me in a flash of inspiration today. I grabbed the first scrap of paper I could find and jotted it down:

Feminism spreads lies like a fly spreads germs.

You like it? I thought you would.

So . . . spread it around, and make it part of the “buzz”!

Get it? Buzz. Like, “buzz” means “what people are excitedly talking about.” But it is also the sound that a fly makes.

See, Fidelbogen is working with TWO DIFFERENT MEANINGS at once. It’s like juggling two things at once, only with your brain. No wonder some MRAs regard his as the finest mind in the Men’s Rights movement today.

Several days after The Bogen (that’s what I like to call him) came up with this masterful slogan, one artistically minded MRA took it to a whole nother level – by using the slogan in the graphic above.

As The Bogen explained in his second post about his new slogan:

Memes can take many forms, and what you see here is among the most elemental and effective of those forms.

I am posting this graphic image for anybody on the planet who wants to fly away with it and spread it around.

First with the “buzz” thing, and now “fly away with it.” LIKE FLIES DO! The man is a genius.

Hell man, you could even print it on T-shirts and coffee mugs. Certainly you can post it on your website. Best of all, you can print it on little squares of paper and leave these in all manner of places where all manner of people will happen upon them.

Oh shit. T-shirts? Mugs? Motherfucking SQUARES OF PAPER?! He’s going CROSS-PLATFORM!

This is the sort of thing that will land in people’s brains, and buzz around there, and never leave!

I explained the buzz thing already, didn’t I?

It will find its way into the general buzz of conversation, too!

Just in case you’ve forgotten. Buzz = what people are talking about. ALSO THE SOUND FLIES MAKE.

I still cannot get over how much of a genius move that whole “buzz” thing is. I don’t know how he does it.

I kindly thank St. Estephe, the blog keeper who created this. I am honored to see my words so skillfully combined with pictures, and made ten times more effective by that method.

It’s true. It takes a tremendous amount of skill to find a picture of a fly, and then to put words next to it.

How can we possibly compete with this?

I tried to come up with some slogans of my own. But the best I could do was this:

I hope you guys have some better ideas.

Try QuickMeme if you want to make a little graphic. I’ll post any especially good ones here!

EDITED TO ADD: Some more graphics that are Fidelbogenesque in their brilliance. One from Scar, one from me.

Asshat: Like talking to children? Man, you should go into stand up, that’s the funniest thing I’ve heard since the last lines of the new Avengers trailer! (Loki: I have an army. Stark: We have a Hulk.)

But that actually is a fairly good point, those guys prove you can be dating/married to someone and still a gaping sexist butthole regarding them. Please strike the Neo-Nazi Jew dating thing from the rambling Neo-Nazi Jews thing I posted like five pages back now.
And that’s the last time I post the phrase “Neo-Nazi Jews”, I’m starting to feel like an episode of South Park.

Fact! Not lie!

Well, let’s see, Nephy, Paul has stated he gets boners at the thought of fucking our shit up, and Zarat has come here and said that he wants to replace his wife with VR technology and the sexes should be split on either side of the Mississippi.

So we’re not assuming anything.

Okay, now that we’ve reached the point where you cuntbuckets have nothing more than false accusations of domestic violence against Anthony and Paul. I think it’s a good time for me to take my leave of you.

Try not to strangle yourselves too hard on what I’ve said, my little fruit flies.

See you on the flip side.

Oooooh, we should start a betting pool on how long Asshat’s flounce lasts! I’m thinking less than 24 hours, myself.

For people saying they don’t like much recently published SF, a couple of debut novels from this year:

SOFT APOCALYPSE by Will McIntosh (very much in the vein of Octavia Butler’s PARABLE OF THE SOWER and Maureen McHugh’s CHINA MOUNTAIN ZHANG)

GOD’S WAR by feminist blogger Kameron Hurley, a space opera with really neat technology and weird investigation of gender

and this one’s fantasy not SF, but:

MECHANIQUE by Genevieve Valentine, steampunk circus fantasy with really beautiful language and imagery

I’ll leave you with one more fact.

Your tyranny over the courts is coming to an end, and I’m going to enjoy coming back here the first time this happens and hearing you losers whine and buzz.

“Why? Are you assuming improprieties on the part of Anthony and Paul? Do you have any evidence?”

Oh, I’ve got better than evidence. I’ve got an embedded Youtube video!
Marty, what do YOU think of Anthony Zarat?

Later on he told me he felt the same about Paul Elam. I’m telling the truth, Doc, you gotta believe me! Not lies.

Cuntbuckets? OK.

Hey, it’s nothing they haven’t said here or on their blogs. But you just keep on thinking that’s made up.
