The Men’s Rights blogger behind The Black Pill – formerly known as Omega Virgin Revolt – has made it his life’s mission to bring down the Pickup Artist movement, or at least the part of it that overlaps with the Men’s Rights movement online. Not because “Roissysphere gamers” are misogynist assholes who preach a mixture of manipulation and date-rapery to their readers. But because, in his estimation, these guys are promoting a “Misandrist Dating Advice Distraction (MDAD)” that convinces poor oppressed men that they can solve their problems by manipulating drunk hotties into sleeping with them – thus distracting them from the much more important goal of destroying feminism.
No, really.
The MDAD is especially insidious because it turns self described anti-feminists into feminists without those anti-feminists being concious of the process. …
I am declaring complete and total war against the MDAD. My goal is nothing less than COMPLETE DESTRUCTION of the MDAD so that whenever feminism is being fought in the future any discussion of dating advice is regarded as useless or a feminist trick and ignored. The MDAD is what is blocking the progress of mens rights more than anything else right now.
In his latest attack on the evil MDAD, Mr. Black Pill takes aim at the notion that women should have any influence over dudes who give out dating advice.
One of the ways that feminism controls everything is by making it so that everything needs female approval to be taken seriously. …
Dating advice is also held hostage to female approval. In fact, it is held hostage to female approval to a greater degree than almost anything else. Why is that?
Perhaps because if someone is giving out dating advice, rather than raping advice, to straight dudes, female approval has to be part of the package? If the idea of women offering opinions on dating advice makes your head explode, I’m not sure you understand the concept of consent well enough to be dating, much less giving out dating advice to others.
Mr. Pill continues:
Dating advice should be evaluated based on a scientific analysis of its results, on whether it works or not. If a dating strategy works, it doesn’t need female approval. Female approval doesn’t make a dating strategy work or work better. It’s completely irrelevant to dating advice. This is why no form of dating advice, including game, can be trusted. All forms of dating advice are currently held hostage to women for the benefit of women. Currently, every form of dating advice exists for the purpose of benefiting women not for helping men get more and better dates.
Yeah, “game” is a giant gift to women. Clearly the women of the world – especially the feminists – should be grateful for the opportunity to have more creepy manipulative dudes hitting on them.
Roissyite gamers are constantly trying to get female approval for game. They say that game is about “what works” for getting women, but if that were true they wouldn’t care about getting female approval for game.
Mr. Pill’s evidence for this? That some “Roissyite gamers” have tried to convince the slut-shaming, chart-making dating guru Susan Walsh that “game” is great for women. And that some male gamers are fans of a female game guru by the name of Kezia Noble.
Noble is bad news for men, Mr. Pill explained in a previous post, because dudes should
never ask women for advice about women. No matter what women will give you bad advice about women even if it’s unintentional. I am certain every man reading this has had the experience of their moms giving them bad advice about women. Knowing this gamers should avoid and denounce Kezia Noble but they don’t. They love her proving that gamers are nothing but mangina sycophants. Gamers can’t even hold themselves to their own ideas. If they can’t do that then game doesn’t exist and gamers are nothing but feminist manginas looking for new ways to kiss women’s asses.
Given that someone as allergic to female opinion as Mr. Pill is unlikely to fully understand or appreciate the notion of consent, I’m thinking it’s just as well that he remains a virgin.
Fitzy: Command Environment is the achilles heel of all militaries. I’ve beenin bad units,a nd good units, and units that went from good, to bad to great. I’ve had Commanders who weren’t safe in a combat zone (one who was transferred out to keep him from being killed by his troops. If I’d been in his compnay I’d have shot him; and called it self defese, because ‘d been in his platoon, and seen him as XO when I was the training NCO. He was a menace.
What you describe is a terribly dysfunctional unit. At a guess the TACs were abusing you because they wanted to be with a Basic Training company, ad were frustrated. It’s not comfort, but If I’d been there, or seen any of it (e.g. the permanent party troop) I’d have done something (just what would have been rank dependent).
Because by then Drills were far from Gods. If I had to I’d have seen the provost to file a formal complaint, because what you describe is against regs; and people ought to have been punished.
@ Pecunium – Thanks. Denial and idiot optimism tend to be my default M.O.’s, so I was able to rationalize away a lot of that stuff with “Oh, it’s just Basic! What do you expect? It’ll get better!” Even now I’m sitting here going “Oh, it couldn’t have been that bad! Why did I just complain so the entire world like that?” I rationally know that was a fucked up situation that I would denounce for anyone else, and I just wrote down all the reasons why that’s so. Still, I keep feeling like I’m throwing a bunch of NCO’s and an officer under the bus because maybe there are REASONS I don’t understand for structuring the company that particular way. Maybe letting things get softer would have encouraged self pity. Maybe they kept the creature comforts to a bare minimum so that we’d want to GTFO and get back to training. Maybe I have a touch of Stockholm Syndrome.
Anyway, I survived it, and they’ve changed things for the better since.
@ Fitzy
I keep wanting to tell these guys that youth is not an STD – you can’t catch it by fucking people who still have it.
NOTE: Omega Virgin Revolt does not in any way reflect the views of the manoshpere or the dark enlightenment. He is an embarrassment and should be treated as such. He is a liberal, an egalitarian of the schizophernic variety. It pains me that you give a voice to this troll, putting him in the blog roll alongside great voices of the dark enlightenment.
