Oh, ShitRedditSays! Not only are SRSers fighting the good fight against bigotry and assyness and general shitlordery on Reddit, but they also manage to come up with some of the best and most hilarious faux-propaganda graphics you’re likely to run across online, many of which are gathered together on the SRS FArtistry tumblr blog.
SRS being a bit of a circlejerk, the graphics are mainly designed to amuse other SRSers, and are full of in-jokes and references to the ridiculous reputation SRS has amongst Redditors at large as being the home to humorless man-hating Dworkinite feminazis eager to oppress helpless Straight White Males. By pelting them with dildoes.
Here, for example, is a lovely drawing illustrating how many Redditors actually see the unending battle between SRS (represented here by surly angels armed with purple dildoes) and the upstanding free-speech defenders of Reddit.
Other SRS graphics play on old propaganda tropes:
Still others are just excuses to make in-jokes. (For some reason, SRSers like to refer to dogs as “dags.”)
It’s interesting to see the contrast between SRS FArt and the, er, art generated by MRAs online. Here, for example, is a graphic taken from the Artistry Against Misandry site, a collection of “art” and “music” and even “poetry” from angry, art-, music- and poetry-challenged MRAs. AAM is heavily promoted on A Voice for Men; heck, Paul Elam recently sent them $100 of his own (supporters’) money to fight the (allegedly) good fight.
This hilarious piece of WTFery, if you haven’t figured it out already, is evidently supposed to be a picture of me. Or possibly Michael Moore. Whoever it’s supposed to be, I cackled with glee when I first saw it yesterday. (For future reference, I don’t own either a baseball cap or that particular kind of flogger.)
I will be exploring the vast artistic richness (sarcasm) of Artistry Against Misandry in several upcoming posts.
And after that I will highlight some of the magnificent art (not sarcasm) produced by some of Man Boobz’ own.
In the meantime, enjoy this one last bit of SRS FArtistry, which might be suitable for desktop wallpaper:
Or more to the point:
Homophobe = one who hates gays/lesbians
Misogynist = one who hates women
Racist = one who hates other races
Mangina = one who isn’t a real man and probably has gross lady parts, ha ha
I think that’s what really sets the term apart. Not just what it describes but how.
NWO wrote “Man = bad, woman = good.”
No. This is more accurate:
Some men = good
Some men = bad
Some women = good
Some women = bad
I know that’s a little more complicated than your current world view, but sheesh, it shouldn’t be that hard to grasp. Oh, and I forgot:
You = woman hating asshat
@Cliff,
“Mangina = one who isn’t a real man and probably has gross lady parts, ha ha”
Exactly. Somehow they found a slur that manages to insult two genders simultaneously,
@ Cliff Pervocracy:
Okay. Thanks for correcting me. I know Ozy’s a genderqueer woman.* I wasn’t entirely sure what pronoun to use, even though I ultimately went with “she”. I suppose I really ought to have asked instead.
My apologies to Ozy.
*If “genderqueer woman” is an acceptable way to put it. Maybe “female-bodied genderqueer” or “AFAB genderqueer” would be better? I’m not entirely sure whether or not those work either. Sorry if any those labels don’t work or manage to mischaracterize Ozy. I’m not trying to offend, I’m genuinely kind of clueless here.
@ NWOslave:
How do you know that everyone whose pointed out that you’ve mischaracterized what Ozy said is a woman?
No one is rushing to defend Ozy because ze’s female-bodied. We’re simply pointing out that you are claiming that Ozy said things which ze never actually said. Some people are raised to think that lying about other people is wrong. Some people are taught that truth is typically preferable to falsehood and that inaccurate information should be corrected. That’s why people are calling you out on this.
Yeah, I suspected that you wouldn’t understand what I wrote.
Look, I never said that you couldn’t cite a study that asked individuals about their sexual preferences. I said that asking a few of your friends about their sexual preferences did not constitute a scientific study. Typically, a good (or even not-very-good) scientific study is much larger and tries to ask a more representative sample of society. The close friends of any particular individual are not really a representative random sample.
Women hit men to test them as romantic partners. If a man hits back, it’s proof that he’s a worthy mate with strong genes, and the woman will immediately have sex with him.
I actually met MrB while fencing. I hit him, he hit me, it was a festival of grown ass people hitting each other with swords. He once hit me hard enough to require medical attention, but it was an accident – we were both lunging full speed and I parried his dagger right into my wrist. Turned a bunch of lovely colors. But we didn’t have sex after I hit him. Or, you know, not immediately after, the marshals wouldn’t want us clogging up the list. And fencing masks aren’t all that sexy.
(Pictures two people attempting to snog with fencing masks on.)
And all the other crap – heavy pants, an even heavier jacket (three layers of heavy cotton or equivalent), leather gloves, gorget (metal or plastic collar, SO UNCOMFORTABLE!), coif – oh, gods, the fucking coif. Yeah, it’s not really a sexy outfit.
Plus imagine trying to grope someone through boob/groin guards. Ooh baby, that stiff plastic protective gear you’re wearing is turning me on.
@CassandraSays:
*bump bump bump bumpity bump bumpy*
@NWO:
One more thing about quotas, which are explicitely illegal so stop saying that they’re a thing please.
Lets say that we have the following simple quota in place:
10% new hires must be female
20% new hires must be minority races
At most, this requires that 30% of new hires be non-white-males. Which means that 70% of new hires could and probably will be white males (if the quota was required in the first place.)
Soooooooooo… Yeah. Still not bad odds for our lovely default race/sex. If there are 20 hires and a white male doesn’t get in, it means he was, at worst, beaten by 14 other white men.
@Cliff Pervocracy
“Or more to the point:
Homophobe = one who hates gays/lesbians
Misogynist = one who hates women
Racist = one who hates other races
Mangina = one who isn’t a real man and probably has gross lady parts, ha ha”
Let us really get to the point, Holly dearest.
Homophobe = a word made up to shame anyone who dare to vioce an opinion differing from the official stance of a totalitarian regime. I find the actions of gays repulsive. My opinion is shamed.
Misogynist = any disagreement with a woman for her actions/words.
Example; If I say to always believe a man that the sex was consensual if she says rape, I’m a misogynist. If you say to always believe the woman who says rape while the man says it was consensual, you’re not a misandrist. Slavering beast theory.
Racist = one who hates other races. Or, one who places their own heritage above all others.
How many organisations world wide are dedicated to ensure not a peep is ever said negatively about your precious, holier than thou heritage? More is spent, and there are more organisations protecting your precious heritage than there are for the entire population of the rest of the world. Talk about hubris and arrogance! And plied upon that is your audacity to call anyone racist. You could feed the enitre world on what’s spent ensuring no one disparages your most noble heritage.
Mangina = One who adheres to slavering beast theory, (always believe a womans word is gospel).
it’s not 300 days in a row, but a total of 300 days.
I just did some quick math, and based on my normal eating habits I spend less more than 21 hours a day not eating.
Over my lifetime that means I’ve gone 28,745 days without eating.
Kirbywarp – It’s pretty hard to do the math on quotas when there is no such thing.
But apparently NWO thinks it’s the law? Although he won’t say which law.
I wonder if he thinks it’s a secret law that isn’t shown to the public (and yet every hiring manager knows about it). Either that or he just assumes it’s in the small print of VAWA or Title IX.
Regardless, it goes without saying that NWO’s idea of a “quota” is “100% of all hires must be women.”
@Fembot
“But you calling David Futrelle a MANGINA is about as accurate as you calling yourself a ladies man.”
I’ve never called Dave a mangina. Please verify that for me, Dave. If Dave verifies that, which he should since it’s true, you will be proven to be a liar. I know you’ve been taught to casually lie and manipulate to make yourself appear morally superior, but take a day off from your hatred. And for all you know I could very well be a ladies man. Pehaps I lie to them to get them in the sack much the same as you lie about me.
This is NWO here, I think it’s this one —
“I wonder if he thinks it’s a secret law that isn’t shown to the public (and yet every hiring manager knows about it).”
@Cliff:
If wikipedia is correct, apparently theres a very common accusation of liberal institutions using secret quotas from republicans. In that context, NWO’s constant insistance that they exist makes more sense.
@Pecunium
“I just did some quick math, and based on my normal eating habits I spend less more than 21 hours a day not eating.
Over my lifetime that means I’ve gone 28,745 days without eating.”
As a feminist, do you feel it’s your duty to ridicule someone’s suffering if they don’t pray at the altar of woman? Perhaps a day will come when your only option to stave off starvation will be to rob and steal. It’s quite a feeling to hate yourself for having to steal. The guilt you feel is a bit overwhelming. It’s kinda feels like everyone who looks at you knows. It truely does sucketh.
Everyone here seems to think it’s funny and worth a few good jabs, so I guess it wasn’t all for naught. Ahhh, the privileged life of the straight white man.
Apparently it’s simultaneously a very well-kept secret (never in the news, never acknowledged by any hiring manager, even a disgruntled former hiring manager) and a very poorly-kept one (random people on the Internet know all about it).
Oh conspiracy theorists.
@Cliff: as far as I can tell, the BEST evidence for a conspiracy theorist is NO evidence whatsoever, thus proving the COVER UP. Also useful if government documents provide opposing evidence, because FIXED.
Yep. And if random people who have no connection to the government tell you it’s nonsense, that just proves how far Their reach extends.
THEY’RE EVERYWERE!!!!111
NWO: As a feminist, do you feel it’s your duty to ridicule someone’s suffering if they don’t pray at the altar of woman?
No. As a human being I feel it my duty to mock you, for your lies, your hypocrisy, your false witness, and the way you seem to strive to make the lives of others less happy.
Perhaps a day will come when your only option to stave off starvation will be to rob and steal. It’s quite a feeling to hate yourself for having to steal. The guilt you feel is a bit overwhelming. It’s kinda feels like everyone who looks at you knows. It truely does sucketh.
Perhaps you have no idea how many days I’ve actually gone without eating? Perhaps you don’t know what I’ve done to keep body and soul together.
If I need to steal to not starve, I don’t feel guilty about it. If I need to harm someone to defend myself, I don’t feel guilty about it.
The difference is, I limit my violence to self-defense. I don’t think that leaving the room and coming back to try and kill someone who slugged me is reasonable.
I don’t think raping people is a fair response to being frustrated.
And I don’t think implying that I have spent 300 days in a row without eating is honest. I think dishonesty is mockworthy.
So when you say it, I mock you.
And I feel no guilt about that either.
@Pecunium
“And I don’t think implying that I have spent 300 days in a row without eating is honest. I think dishonesty is mockworthy.”
Well than mock yourself dishonest one, you know quite well I said 300 days total, not 300 in a row. Why do you repeat this lie over and over? You talk all high and righteous, as if you have this impeccable honor and integrity. You ridicule a starving man who had been reduced to theft and repeat the same lies over and over. Honor? Integrity? Righteousness? You have none of those qualities.
@NWO
You’re telling ME to take a day off from hatred?
Maybe I’ll consider it after I stop laughing.
@NWO
“I’ve never called Dave a mangina. Please verify that for me, Dave. If Dave verifies that, which he should since it’s true, you will be proven to be a liar.”
Last I checked, being wrong is not the same thing as being a liar. When I said you call Dave a Mangina, I meant you as a collective for MRAs in general. I did not mean to accuse you individually of using that word, and I apologize for the confusion.
However, I am beginning to see a pattern in your posts of avoiding the topic in order to just accuse us all of being hateful liars, as you did to Ozy.
Mistake =/= Lie
Pecunium – I might be making a fool of myself here, but… I don’t think NWO is dishonest, exactly. I think for the most part, he’s telling us things he believes to be true.
He’s paranoid, gullible, self-pitying, self-aggrandizing, astoundingly ignorant, comically stubborn, has difficulties with reading comprehension that border on functional illiteracy, can’t distinguish sarcasm and hyperbole from fact, can’t quite understand what a fact is, and loves to make things up to fill in the gaps when he doesn’t understand something–but I think that in his way, he’s telling us his truth.
I think he really did miss a few meals due to poverty.
I think he really did apply for a job bottling Pepsi and not get it.
I think his job really is fairly hot and tiring.
And I think when he reads our writing, he really does see “MEN BAD WOMEN GOOD MEN ARE RAPISTS WOMEN ARE ANGELS” between the lines.
It’s kind of a horrifying thought but that’s what I get from him.
