The twitter hashtag wars continue! Apparently still pissed off that feminists pooped on their #INeedMasculismBecause tag the other day, the dudes of the manosphere launched a little counterattack aimed at #TellAFeministThankYou, a hashtag originally started by Melissa McEwan of Shakesville to give an opportunity to feminists to thank other feminists for, you know, being awesome and stuff.
On Chateau Heartiste, the Heartiste formerly known as Roissy charged up the troops for the campaign.
[T]he #TellAFeministThankYou Twitter feed has morphed into a shooting gallery for the entertainment of trolls and assorted sadists, providing a laugh a second. Feminists on that feed have been reduced to impotently bleating “wait for them to get it out of their systems.”
Go for the fun, stay for the cruelty. And keep an eye out for malevolent forces committing drive-bys of spectacular carnage. The kind of carnage that can leave a feminist with barely enough strength to mewl for the sympathies and circle-wagoning of fellow travelers.
There was just one problem: The PUAs and MRAs and other assorted Red Pill tweeters forgot to have a sense of humor.
Heartiste tried his best to generate some hilarity with a few tweets of his own.
Such magnificent wit!
Evidently feeling he needed to kick it up a notch, he decided to add some sprinkles of racism:
See, cuz only guys with names like “Juan” and “Anfernee” (hint, hint, hint) harass women on the street!
Here are some contributions from some other Red Pill wits, which evidently were highly amusing to the dudes in the RedPill Subreddit:
And a couple of others I found on my own:
There were even a few directed at little old me, like this one from our friend Chuck at Gucci Little Piggy:
You’re welcome!
Flawless victory, guys!
Oh, and here are some more kitties, since they seem to annoy manosphere dudes so much.
Oh, and while I disapprove of most dog breeding and think people should just adopt shelter dogs, there are some pretty cute doggie pictures here (NYT). I have to admire Cooper the Skye Terrier’s grooming.
@Some Gal: Don’t worry, I got the joke! 😀
@cloudiah
I read a lot more mysteries in my teenage years, especially Mary Higgins Clark. *blushes, too*
Now, I read Jim Butcher, Jasper Fforde, and a lot of random stuff. I don’t know if those count as the sort of mystery you read, though.
(Although I do most of my “reading” by audiobook because I have trouble concentrating on big blocks of text either from the meds or the pain. If anyone has any recommendations for well-performed audiobooks, I’m all ears. 🙂 )
Kittehs’ I really like Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine, PD James, and Reginald Hill. Tana French too, although one of hers I thought was too far-fetched for belief. And for something of a cross between mystery/spy/adventure, Mark Mills and Robert Goddard.
I had a crush on Lord Peter Wimsey as a kid 🙂
I didn’t like The Graduate at all, but yes, it was very well done technically.
Katz, have you seen Carnal Knowledge? Waaaaaaaay more problematic (there’s our favorite word again), but I found it more engaging than The Graduate. Jack Nicholson as proto-PUA.
I can’t recall the name, but I saw a feminist mystery writer recommended on The Otherness of Alice blog and took a look at the book, which sounded good (archaeology + murder mystery) … and it was written in present tense. Gah, it went back on the shelf immediately! I don’t mind present tense in a short story (Ramsay Campbell’s Conversion comes to mind) but for a whole book?
Jack Nicholson just gravitates to problematic projects, doesn’t he?
I also read a lot of non-fiction, mostly history stuff particularly about southern CA and/or African American history. I work with photograph (mostly) collections, so I get intrigued by things I see and go read more. So yeah, random.
Latest interest: Our Gang/Little Rascals, and Mabel Stark (lion tamer).
Yes, he does.
@Kitteh I wasn’t attracted by the premise of The Full Monty, so have never watched the show. A recent show that is attracting my attention is Fry’s Planet Word. I am also patiently waiting for season 1 of Connections to reduce in price to much more reasonable figure. I have seasons 2 and 3, and a number of his books. This is the series that encouraged my love for science as a child.
I can’t abide Jack Nicholson. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a film with him in it that I liked. And how the hell he got picked to play chunky redhead Randle McMurphy I’ll never know.
cloudiah – most of Mum’s and my books are non-fiction. French history (no prizes for guessing which period), English history, archaeology, fashion history, jewellery, Formula One, cats, art history …
I started watching Planet Word, but lost interest. I’m a bit over Stephen Fry.
Did anyone here watch Black Books? Now that’s a weird show. 😀
Kitteh, you didn’t like Chinatown?
Loved Chinatown. Jack Nicholson in The Shining was pretty good too. I used to love Stephen King…
Has anyone read Hilary Mantel’s books? My sister keeps bugging me to read them
The whole trick is to cast Jack Nicholson as someone who’s supposed to be creepy-problematic.
Like so.
katz, no, never saw Chinatown.
I just saw that Emergency! is available on Hulu. I had such a crush on Randolph Mantooth when I was younger. [cloudiah fans herself]
@katz, I found the Keith Moon character (Uncle Ernie) in the film to be much more problematic (that word again!). And cousin Kevin, and Frank Hobbs. I can also never look at baked beans in quite the same way….
That jackass Purple Star is trying to necro another thread with non-sequiturs. Trolls, nothing if not predictable.
Tommy’s another film I couldn’t sit through. Nearly died of boredom and ended up speeding through to catch Elton John’s Pinball Wizard scene.
Really? Wow.
I get the earworm “Christmas” from Tommy every couple of Xmases. That means I have to watch the entire movie just to get rid of it.
Yeah. I was in my twenties when I saw it and it was just totally not my thing. I only recorded it to see the Pinball Wizard sequence, and the rest of it just … oh, no, no way.
