Reading this blog, you might get the impression that Men’s Rights activists lack a sense of humor. Not so! Some of them even make their own hilarious comics! I’d like to celebrate three of the finest MRA cartoons I’ve seen thus far in the first edition of what I’d like to call the MRA Comics Cavalcade. Click the thumbnails to go to the (full-sized) comics themselves.
In this edition of the popular The Pigman Cometh, the aforementioned Pigman, who has apparently killed a woman, dances with her corpse while spouting humorous remarks about how women and marriage suck. This comic is written by one dude, and drawn by another. Yes, it takes two people to produce masterpieces like this.Two separate people.
.
In this NSFW cartoon found on the blog Wimminz, two evil feminists talk evilly about divorce and park in a handicapped parking space. Just like real feminists would! And then a guy has sex with, apparently, some sex dolls?
.
And, finally, in this edition of plasticBrickAutomaton, an evil feminist door-to-door saleswoman tries to sell some dude a weird and incorrect caricature of postmodernism. The guy cleverly parries her attempts to indoctrinate him by attaching a baby to a balloon and letting it float away, to ultimately meet its demise. (One imagines.) This got more than 100 upvotes when it was posted to the Men’s Rights subreddit.
More MRA Comics Cavalcades to come!
Don’t forget, David, if anyone says anything bad on SRS, Paul Elam is allowed to say whatever he likes forever.
So business as usual then for Paul Elam?
It didn’t seem like there had been any ‘hounding’ that led him to post a suicide note, no. But after he posted it, a few people from SRS encouraged him to kill himself. I’m being told that those users were swiftly banned.
According to Elam and his minions though, these few random people clearly represent the evil that is feminism at large.
One AVFM user writes:
“I used to believe there was a difference between an equity feminist, gender feminist, pop feminist, etc. I now know better. If you are a feminist you are the enemy. Plain and simple.”
This comment got 12 upvotes and zero down.
Futrelle is mentioned a few times, of course.

For more MRA comic hilarity.
And there’s talk of creating a site like Register-her for male feminists like Futrelle. Oh boy.
OK, I’m really not cool with the whole “go kill yourself” thing. I know, sometimes people don’t really mean it and they’re just trying to be all Encyclopedia Drammatica, but still – not cool.
Again, this just confirms my impression that Reddit is 90% assholes.
Only the MRAs are allowed to harass and stalk people, I guess.
Reddit is pretty horrible in general.
Why doesn’t anyone ever want to register me? 🙁 I FEEL UNLOVED
QANAN IF YOU REGISTER ME I WILL JOIN YOUR TEEEEAM
NOT REALLY
Ozy noooo don’t go!
OZY I RESPECT YOUR FREE WILL BUT PLEASE DON’T LEAVE US. (I say calmly.)
The guy that Elam posted about wasn’t hounded; the other guy was apparently hounded.
Also, some people have been having trouble posting tonight. It’s some wordpress glitch. Presumably they will fix it.
You know, the more I hear about Reddit, the more I feel like it’s 4chan wearing one of those Groucho Marx glasses disguises.
4chan has been banning CP posters and reporting to the authorities for years. It is, AFAIK, the only absolute banning offense. Reddit is worse.
RE: Rutee
Eeeeurgh. DEFINITELY not setting foot there then.
@David, if you’re talking about the error where people with existing WordPress/Gravatar users are required to log in before posting, it looks like that’s not a glitch:

And if you’re talking about something else, never mind me!
I said some things in the cotton pony rodeo thread that got caught in moderation because I’m terrible with computers and didn’t realize that, by logging in, I would change my ‘nym; but I think by going into my WordPress account and changing my display name in there this should show my usual ‘nym and not be moderated? *Crosses fingers and squishes her face together*
I did not know I had an account. 0_o
Viscaria: once you’re logged in, the website still let you chose your name/adresse/website. And the gravatar image is still here.
>>Reddit is worse.
Worse than 4chan? *shudders*
@Kyrie:
Gravatar accounts = WP accounts I guess, so when you changed your image to that bird, you automatically created a WP account.
Yes, sorry, you’re totally right about that on the computer. I should have said, I was trying to post from my phone this morning. Those options aren’t available on the mobile site once you log in. It’ll just show whatever is listed under “display name” in your WP profile, which is the same as your username by default. In order to post from the mobile site, one has to first go into their WP account and change the display name.
Phew! Hope I’m not being too derail-y.
@David:
Ah sorry, thanks for clearing it up.
Blackbloc – 4chan has actually… Improved? And Reddit keeps getting worse…
I’m not sure what is actually worse right now, it’s probably still the darker pits of teh chans, but I must say the tendency is not ever downwards as with Reddit, which I think may actually dig further than the bottom of b if present trends continue…
“And Reddit keeps getting worse…”
Well, at last they did banned pedophilia, so that’s a plus, right?
/try to keep faith in internet
(sorry if this is out of context: I’m only able to post this now due to the WP comment cockblock.)
Qanan, when you write on Good Man Project that you are “the blog master of Of fathers, men and boys,” and say “I just had to make this announcement” linking a qanan post on /r/mensrights, it didn’t once occur to me that you’re trying to be anonymous. I’m brand-new ’round these parts; I’d been reading GMP long before I knew there was such a thing as Manboobz. I wasn’t imagining I was “outing’ you; I just really enjoyed the disconnect between your more-sad-than-angry umbrage about quote-mining and… well, your quote-mining.
Also, wrt ‘snark’: UR DOIN IT RONG.
@kyrie
Reddit banned child porn, but didn’t ban the child pornographers (or at least, not the really prominent ones like violentacerz). So in terms of moderation, it’s still got a ways to improve before it’s on the same level as 4Chan.
I remember back when somethingawful seemed like the dregs of the Internet. Those were better days.
aaaaaaaaaaaand in the complete wrong thread. derp.
TGMoxley: does 4chan ban the child pornographers? I thought you didn’t need registration to write on it.
