I’ve heard tell that some Pickup Artists aren’t actually misogynistic pieces of shit. Unfortunately, I keep running across guys like Firepower here, whose blog I discovered only yesterday, and purely by accident (though evidently I’ve quoted him off the Spearhead a couple of times before)
Here he is doing some wonderful PR work for his fellow PUAs, defending them (and himself) against accusations that they treat women like “disposable blow-up dolls.” Not so, says Firepower:
The only women puas treat as “disposable blow up dolls”
Are the actual real-life disposable blow up dolls.
That might seem like a pretty revealing confession on his part. But it turns out that by “actual real-life disposable blow up dolls” he doesn’t actually mean “actual real-life disposable blow up dolls.” He means, you know, sluts.
The barsluts and bimbos. The inveterate Jersey Housewives fan. The JWOWW’s of the world. Not female author types: The barslut dolls should be (and once were) the obvious natural enemy of good females. Barsluts = BAD females. Bad females are a Fuck & Chuck.
Not to be confused with Chuck & Buck.
Also, aren’t PUAs the very definition of barsluts themselves? Don’t they spend most of of their time in bars trying to have sex with every “hot” woman who will talk to them?
Never mind, because Firepower is off and running again, offering his fascinating opinions on how feminism is to blame for all the barsluts he runs across out there while he is barslutting gaming women.
Feminism was the worst Western Decline Symptom to happen to males vis-à-vis male courtship roles; it created entitled tattooed sluts with foul mouths and so many sex-partners that any decent man would cringe at the number. What True Man would marry a girl with a 300+ penis score – a proud whore who’s actually LOUD about it? It’s why roosh fled america. Good women are low notch women.
Somehow I’m guessing the real reason Roosh fled America was because too many American women were calling him on his bullshit.
Feminism is only beneficial in the now facile, guilt-free, post-sex disengagement ritual freeing males from traditional chivalry via the implicit easy-exit Feminism unwittingly unleashed.
Was that even a sentence?
Dude, I think you might need to put down your copy of Day Bang and pick up Strunk and White.
Today, males get to naturally spread their seed and – as a true bonus – get a guilt-free conscience and total pass from a Feminist Society. Who feels guilty about dumping a drunken Sloppopotamus with a foul mouth – who bragged to you at the bar she slept with fifty other males?
You know, this, uh, “Sloppopotamus,” is probably not interested in having a long-term relationship with you either. I mean, come on, who the fuck would want to spend more than a few minutes in your presence?
Abuse the bad ones; treat them like condoms. Cherish the good ones.
Somehow I suspect that being “cherished” by Firepower would be the even worse fate here.
More “I don’t want to engage in conversation, just talk to David”?
Boring shtick is boring.
Eurosabra’s “kind of problematic”? *shudders, repeatedly* oh yeah, kind of — that’s it, I’m sure /sarcasm
Still snowed in, and ran out of heating oil a bit ago, should get real interesting soon >.<
Keep warm, Argenti! And your little fishies, too!
Thankfully, the fish are electrically heated, and our power’s been fine. The rest of us are going to be getting cold soon though (either that or staying bundled up and/or next to the fire)
The fish will be fine though, mostly anyways, still no sign of the deworming chemical and idk if that loach is going to hold out. Poor loach… Mostly unrelated to the weather though.
Wow. Being a shrieking look-at-me troll is edgy? Suggesting that not using mental illness as a catch-all insult for assholes, criminals and creeps is pious?
Who knew.
RE: Argenti
Yeah, like I mentioned, more and more the word ‘problematic’ is getting associated with weasel words with me. I mean, ‘problematic’ to me is like a bad movie plot. If you want to say that someone is an asshat, or says racist bullshit, or whatever, just SAY it. Don’t mask it with a word like ‘problematic,’ which suggests there are problems but won’t come outright and say what they are.
Sandra, if you didn’t give a fuck what we thought, you’d just email David and shit the fuck up. No, you clearly like the attention you aren’t getting in whatever little nasty radfem hole you crawled out of.
In short, you are not the boss of us, and we will comment to you/about you as we see fit. Suck it up, bittercup (<—typo and it stays because it fits this one).
Russian mafia, totalitarian motherfuckers, pious turds, what's next?
^shit the fuck up? LOL, no. Shut.
Shit the fuck up sounds entirely appropriate for Sandra! 😀
Or there’s this version, of course.
Kitteh’s: I like the Yoda version.
It has always struck me as odd, these trolls who wander into a room full of people and demand that the host and only the host attend to them. It is particularly amusing on blogs where the host does not participate in the thread or is on hiatus.
It is a stunning display of ill mannered boorishness.
LBT — movie plot is a good example for “problematic” — it’d also work for a gentle reminder (ie people you know will consider wtf you’re saying and don’t want to send on the defensive before that happens). Other than that, no, just no.
In other news, I just thoroughly covered my windows, plants will do better without light than they would freezing; arm warmers and a sweater and I need another pair of socks and brrr
RE: Argenti
Space heater! Needs more space heater! And blankets! And wool.
I think I’ve just spent too much time on tumblr. Even though I rarely reblog or do political stuff myself, I run into enough of it that the word ‘problematic’ is just getting forever tainted in my brain.
Psh, you know we only jumped on her about the homophobia to be
PCpious. It’s not like there are any actual queer people here.Argenti, how cold can your house get? Is there a hotline you can call about the heat, or a temporary shelter or something? 911? I hate to think of you and your family getting frostbite or worse…
It’s an old and fairly well insulated house, so hopefully not too cold. Problem is that we’re literally still snowed in — the oil truck is scheduled to come as soon as anything can actually get here. And we have a fireplace, and a decent stock of wood in the basement, so we should be fine, assuming we get not-plowed soon. Space heaters are out as my father won’t let them in the house at all — fire hazard — and we can’t go anywhere to get one >.<
At this point I’m the only one complaining and being treated like I’m weird for not being all “whatever” — my brother’s on a t-shirt >.<
I get cold at like 50°F so maybe it is just me at this point…and currently I’m setting my mouth on fire with Indian. Like, eating around the chili pepper hot.
I watched the Four Feathers this week. Astoundingly well-shot and acted, but problematic.
By which I mean totally racist.
I like the word problematic for when you’re watching something that actually is mostly right, but it has just that one little detail or that one little subplot. It doesn’t work so well when the whole thing is a problem.
Another sort of problematic — breaking canon or tech-fail. Com
Let’s.y different sort of problematic, but my brother talked me into the batman trilogy and their version of two face was problematic (I’m being polite, because oh no they didn’t!)
Com Let’s.y ?!
Completely
Fucking auto-correct!
Sorry Argenti, but your eternal struggle with autocorrect is pretty funny 😀
Don’t mask it with a word like ‘problematic,’ which suggests there are problems but won’t come outright and say what they are.
I think I only use “problematic” for sarcastic understatements, nowadays. Like, MRAs wanting all women to be put in brothels and raped? PROBLEMATIC.
Just wanting to talk to the host is just another way of trying to get her ideas heard by everyone without anyone else’s replies also getting heard. Get your own blog!
Sandra needs to learn how to internet. Talking only to the host is not how blog comments sections work.
katz: You’re right, it’s a special sort of arrogance to think that she is a special snowflake, and Dave will be more interested in her comments than ours. It’s also asking us to give her a privileged platform.
I suspect her own blog would be a bit lacking in traffic; esp. if she has this sort of reaction to comments which disagree.
Message to David:
NO ONE ELSE READ THIS. THIS MESSAGE IS NOT FOR YOU, IT’S FOR DAVID. WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS MESSAGE IF YOU’RE NOT DAVID. CLEARLY YOU ARE STILL READING OR I WOULDN’T NEED TO BE TYPING THIS. STOP IT. STOP IT STOP ITSTOPITSTOPITSTOPIT.
I like kitties.
