In yet another discussion of Arthur Goldwag’s latest post on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch blog (looking at MRAs bad-mouthing the men who lost their lives protecting their girlfriends in the Aurora shootings), longtime Men’s Rights Redditor Liverotto offers this intriguing take on what he sees as Goldwag’s motivations for criticizing the Men’s Rights movement:
Yeah, a dude actually wrote that, and a couple of people actually upvoted it.
I’m trying to understand the logic: Goldwag is growing older and more homosexual (do men usually become gay as they age?). But gay men age badly, which makes them mad at their “suitors.” So therefore Goldwag has come to hate the (mostly straight) men of the Men’s Rights movement?
Another highlight of the discussion: The r/mensrights regular who thinks I’m Paul Elam. No, really.
I don’t see any Clinton ads. What’s Bill Clinton even got to do with anything being sold today anyway?
@Ozy:
It’s not that it’s a religious ad, it’s that its a religious ad rehashing the same tired, disproved arguments as if it were some revelation placed on a skeptic site where those exact arguments have been addressed over and over. X_X
@Sharculese:
I doubt you can contact google. These things are determined by algorithm, and look at how much trouble Santorum has had in removing his google result. 😛
@David
Taylor Lautner. Also a stopped clock being right once a day.
I always thought the “Was he really the Son of God?” ads were mostly Mormons, not that I’ve ever actually clicked on one and found out.
The obvious reason why someone wouldn’t want men playing female characters is that it’s men fetishizing women’s bodies and trying to control them by being them.
@david
he seriously brought up old women and taylor lautner in his first post.
David, he never changes, that’s how.
@David:
My guess? Al has tells that literally nobody else has. Hence whenever those topics come up at all, it’s probably him.
welp im gonna make a bunch of drunken phone calls asking someone if i can speak to google anyway because why not
“Hello, is the Google in?”
-how I imagine Drunk Sharculese
LOL! They may be listening to you, Kirby. Current ad says WILL THE RIGHT GOOGLE ADS FIND YOU?
<blockquote"How do you know that they were male-identifying?"
Because I know the people in my monkeysphere, for one, and for the other, the typical response to being called gendered slurs against women is to affirm dudeliness. Were you going to ask something difficult?
That construction is amazingly unlikely, and your point of “All dudes want to play women” is not helped if the female characters are being played by women.
…would anyone? The point isn’t that dudes playing women is horrible, you insufferable git. It’s that for a thing you claim is so common and normal amongst everyone, it is loathed amongst dudes in general.
Scare quotes mine
Because people are misogynist and the dude in question has lowered himself to the status of woman.
AFAICT having sold yaoi, it’s watching two dudes go at it that is the main purpose, not being a dude oneself that is. You are projecting.
i spent thursday afternoon cold calling members of congress and i was very well behaved
i earned this
@Scrapemind:
No, it’s probably because of things like this (which I haven’t read, but good chance is its a flame war).
Sharculese, I hope you record those calls because I bet they’ll be hilarious!
@CassandraSays
That’s probably because of all the Google-Ad related content on this page now we’ve started talking about them. I’m getting that too.
Spoke to soon, Bill is back.
i play as female characters alot fwiw
my lotr online defender, let me show her to you
Too, dammit. Buttpole’s inability to write is rubbing off on me. Is there a cleaning product that helps with that?
FWIW, these are “wordads,” which are handled by wordpress.
@CassandraSays
Sounds like this “soon” guy is who Sharculese should look for then :p
that’s cool, i can swear at them too
No, people being stupid and defending their ability to ogle nearly every fucking female champion is not the same as the special insults only players of female champions get when they fuck up in-game.
I mean, the former sucks, but it’s not the same as the latter. You pretty much have to be on the forums to deal with the former. The latter is for *everyone* who plays and is using a female character.
I still think Sharculese should drunk dial the Google, though.
Seriously, it’s just Anivia and Kayle. It used to be “Anivia, Annie, and Kayle” but they added a sexualized teenager Annie skin. And they are angry because people dared to mention that hey, every female champ is sexualized.
