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.
I hope people buy this account at least a year’s worth of reddit gold so that he can troll the lounge thingamajigger.
Man, I wish the bots I got were that entertaining. Mine just try to sell crap!
heheheh
I really need to get my mind out of the gutter

Looks like a cousin of Reddit’s Racist Sniffing Dog.
Racist Sniffing Dog is also absolutely hilarious.
It’s things like these that make me tempted to leave the Fempire when I do go to Reddit. But then it’s still, y’know, Reddit…

@ lauralot
“Join in copulate” belongs on one of the posters we were helpfully making for the MRM the other day. Or in the subtitles of a movie that was translated on the cheap.
I am thinking that saying “Join in copulate” in a robotic voice should now be the only way I proposition someone.
Is this a good idea?
@cloudiah, it would pretty much guarantee that you’ll be able to pick out propositionees with a sense of humour.
You had me at “copulate.”
That strategy will also allow you to discover early who is carrying mace. So really it’s a win-win.
“WOMEN BE LIKE THIS DETECTED

Yeah bro, my last human female girlfriend spent all of my money that I earned because I am the man in the relationship and she never pleased me sexually as expected by the transactional nature of that relationship. Please accept this brofist.

YES
Oh please. Reddit is fueled by misogyny. Day after day, week by week, no matter what the subreddit you’re reading, the discussion is ALWAYS about how women are out to take advantage of men and seem to delight in falsely accusing them of rape. Also, Redditors seem incapable of referring to women as “women”–it’s always bitch or whore or cunt or, my person favorite, “female”. It’s a rare day when anyone on that site says anything remotely nice about women and isn’t downvoted for being “a white knight faggot”
I won’t say that every Reddit user is misogynistic and racist, but it’s clear that misogyny and all sorts of assorted nastiness (pedophilia, racism and even eugenics) dominate that website ‘s discussions so strongly that I don’t see why anyone who is a decent human being would waste their time on it.

Criminy! It worked.
I love MRAbot2000. Here’s my favorite:
“PARSING DISCUSSION OF HETEROSEXUAL INTERCOURSE
Sex acts in the context of a committed relationship are justifiably transactional.
MANSPLANATION COMPLETE
POWERING DOWN”
And not everyone on Reddit is a misogynist, but the amount of sexism and casual misogyny etc there is enough to make me uncomfortable there a lot, and I’m a guy.
@thebewilderness – gah, now you’ve got me thinking of Steele’s latest word (toads) with that meme. I do not need “Steele” and “copulate” to appear in the same sentence, context, thought or anything else, pleeeeeeeeeaase!
This was beautiful.
At last something that doesn’t utterly disgust me.
I can’t help but imagine that this bot looks and sounds like Pimpbot 5000 of Conan O’Brien fame.
John Vance is right: we can’t judge reddit based on the MRA-type subreddits, particularly r/feminism or r/twoxchromosomes or all those subreddits listed as the default subscriptions.
I mean, if we start calling a website that deliberately harbored r/jailbait and r/creepshots a cesspool of misogyny, where does the witch hunt end?
Where, I ask you? WHERE?!

Foolish ladies, you can’t discuss anything properly with your ladybrains. You need men to tell you what’s what. Besides, what about the men?
