Reddit novelty accounts are usually bad, bad news, an excuse for horrendous racist or misogynist or otherwise appallingly Redditish “humor.” But a reader has pointed me to one new novelty account that’s actually pretty hilarious: the 3-day old account of MRAbot2000, which posts perfect distillations of MRA-think at every opportunity. (These are all from different discussions; the different widths of the various images are due to my laziness and incompetence.)
Despite Reddit being something of a cesspool of misogyny, MRAbot2000 mostly gets upvotes. (The comment above with the negative votes is in ShitRedditSays, where the mods have rigged it so downvotes equal upvotes.) Then again, MRAbot2000 hasn’t yet posted in the Men’s Rights subreddit, where somehow I suspect the reception would be a bit more chilly.
You can find many more nuggets of MRA “wisdom” in MRAbot2000’s comment history.
“As a robot, I would be more attracted to her if her breasts were aluminum.”
I actually laughed out loud. Anyone know where I can get one of these MRAbots? 😀
I guess spamming is another tool in the “social justice arsenal”. If it criticizes MRAs, it’s enough for David!
This bot is fucking terrible, but calling reddit “something of a cesspool of misogyny” is just plain wrong. Reddit is a website with tens of millions of registered users, and even more passive readers. While it’s not hard to find nasty stuff like misogyny and racism on reddit, I don’t think it’s fair to the majority of redditors who are there to enjoy (non-misogynistic) humor and thoughtful discussion. Please don’t measure the whole community by the actions of fuckwits in MRA-type subreddits.
how’s that game of yours going?

This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen on manboobz.
Have you secured any investors yet, Preggo Punchout?
At least you unplug or power down an MRAbot.
I soooo want that bot here!!
Much more entertaining than the socks we get.
Someone needs to make us an MRAbot.
Loggy, that you see this as spam and not parody is a pretty solid example of your impressive selective perception.
@skeptifem
I think this is one of the best things I’ve seen ever. Feminist Hulk levels of awesome.
I read these aloud to my husband in my best “I AM A ROBOT” voice. Hilarity ensued. I think that I will have to spend the rest of the day replying to people in this voice if I can get away with it. XD
I love this so much.
Love it! And
idealoguebozo seemingly thinking it’s actual spam only makes it better.This may be the best thing ever to come out of Reddit. (To be fair, I only ever heard of Reddit through Manboobz, and it’s mostly bad stuff.)
Will you tell us what happens when it inevitably posts on r/mensrights? That is going to be so damn funny.
That’s not all of them! What about:

There is a war on human males currently being waged in our culture. You can see this by the fact that only men are drafted to go to war and also in the fact that the courts will award child support payments to mothers of children born from sperm stolen from used condoms.

Adding my voice to the chorus: this is PROFOUNDLY delightful. Well done, MRAbot!
Yeah, I knew little to nothing about Reddit before Manboobz, too. Just happened across a few threads on atheism and related stuff through Google searches. Didn’t encounter the screaming racism and misogyny, but only because the other screaming bigotry got in first and I only read a few comments before deciding the site was really not something I needed to look at.
Hi everyone!
So, de-lurking after about 2 years or so! I know this isn’t the point of the thread, but I just wanted to finally say hi, and also that I think you all are awesome and hilarious. Normally misogyny just makes me sad and cranky, but much like MRAbot, y’all make it a little easier to laugh off, which has been a huge help to me over the past few years, which have been more than a bit rough. I kinda just wanted to say thanks, even though I know that hasn’t been the point! 😉
To ideologue-type-person – dude, have you ever considered, you know, not taking yourself quite so seriously? It seems like it must be so damn sad living your life trying to hate so many people at once. Also, exhausting.
Anyway, everyone, thank you, and I hope you stay shiny!

MRAbot2000, I desire your cold steel body. Let us join in copulate while other males participate by proxy and after copulation has disengaged I shall assemble sandwiches for all menfolk involved.

Hello Dalek Who Only Loves – great handle, and welcome! 🙂
Wait…did my FeMRAbot just say “join in copulate”?
I better get Norton AntiVirus up in this. But then, a fembot should have ways of shutting a real virus down, right?
