If you aren’t too worn out by all the Presidents’ Day revelry — and the ritual Donning of the Fake Lincoln Beards — I would like to welcome you to the first edition of the 2013 Man Boobz Pledge Drive! (There will be 3 in all.)
I’ll try to keep this brief and repeat what I said last time: If you enjoy this blog, and can afford it, please click on the “donate” button below and sending a few bucks my way. Or, if you’d prefer, a massive quantity of bucks. You don’t need a PayPal account to donate; you can use a credit card, and I think there are other options as well.
There’s a bit more urgency to my request this time: I’m really and truly broke at the moment. Things should get better later in the year, but right now I could use all the help I can get.
I appreciate any and all contributions. And I’d also like to do a quick shout-out to the those who send me much needed $ between pledge drives, whether these are one-shot deals or regular infusions.
That said, if you’re also broke and can’t swing a contribution now, I completely understand. There are lots of ways to contribute to this blog besides cold hard cash, and lots of you contribute enormously every day with smart and funny comments and cartoons and silly parody MRA posters and so on and so on. Which is awesome. It’s the community here that keeps me going.
So thanks!
Oh, and if you need more persuading, here’s Tom Baker (no, really) begging for bucks during a PBS pledge drive.
That is a good thing, although of course we miss you!
I don’t call myself an MRA. Also, I love how the monsters here think I can’t condone or support the idea of social justice while acknowledging this site and others like it are filled with horrible, cruel people who are complete assholes to the 99% of the population who disagree with them.
And why should we be nice to trolls like you?
We really don’t give a fuck what you support. You’re tiresome and unoriginal. Begone or dance harder, monkey.
No one here is a cruel and horrible person except maybe you and the rest of the trolls.
And if you disagree that women are people then you deserve to be treated like the asshole you are.
Awww, poor little troll thinks it can get the last word.
Do a quick comparison, trolly: look at all the threads here with jokes, fun, recipes, talk about tv shows, books, animals, support and friendship – and see if you find anything remotely similar on MRM sites. When you’ve failed at that, see if you find anything where men suggesting baby girls’ voiceboxes be removed are shouted down. See if you can find any of them saying rape is a horrible crime that is not taken seriously enough by the authorities, and that no victim deserves blame. See if you can find the thinly veiled threats of mass violence against women being decried. See if you can find any where men murdering women are not getting at least tacit support. Then see if you can find any threads here where violence worse than the curse of stepping on Legos is condoned. Then come back with who’s really the hateful people.
Ssssshhhhh, trolly, you need to learn to do this.
Oh no, we’re all monsters:(
Wait, awesome. Monsters, Inc made being a monster seem really fun.
“And if you disagree that women are people then you deserve
to be treated like the asshole you are.”
Lol where did I even imply that? Dumbass.
sonichu.
Son. Sit the fuck down.
You don’t know me.
You don’t know anybody here.
I hope your smug self-satisfaction makes you feel good, because it is literally accomplishing nothing else. You bring nothing to the table. You come here, regurgitate the same tired concern trolling that we’ve seen a million times before, then act like you won an argument.
You bring nothing to the table. Be funnier, come correct, or GTFO.
And monsters love kittens!
Is going on my business cards. Do you think Marketing will notice?
Soft bark dog, you are ridiculously cute.
I like how “this isn’t a social justice site” transmuted first to “you don’t want your awfulness to reflect badly on social justice” and then to “you hate social justice.”
sonichu reminds me of a cat with its head stuck in a bag running around the house making weird noises.
Kitteh, I don’t give a shit about MRAs. Though if they are the opposition of you then they can’t be as bad as David portrays them.
Squeak, squeak, squeak!
hellkell, your analogy is an apt analogy. Weird noises = squeak, squeak, squeak!
Can’t we get a new troll? Recycling is great and all, but I’m not sure that socks are among the list of things that need to be recycled.
sonichu I’m gonna be honest SUPER confused about what your problem is with us. People continually tell you things and you don’t seem to be responding.
You’ve been told that david did not post the link you are upset. The folks you are arguing with did not post the link that you are upset with. Yet, you are flipping out and calling us monsters and awful people.
And frankly your logic in regards to MRMs is very flawed. I’m sure there are many individuals that don’t agree with us, but that doesn’t mean they are great people.
I’m fairly certain I’ve seen several white supremacists get their panties in a bunch over opinions similar to ours. Does that mean that you don’t think white supremacists are as bad as we think they are.
You are getting sidelined on an issue that wasn’t even brought into conversation by the rest of this thread. You are stuck on an issues that nobody is arguing about. Nobody has said that they think class segregation is a good thing. You are arguing with a phantom. That makes me think you a troll. And a badly done troll.
Sorry again for errors. Ipod isn’t the best to type on.
Aww, trolly doesn’t want to see that the SPLC and us know what we’re talking about.
“I don’t care about MRAs! I’ll just defend them without knowing anything ‘cos you mean nasty people are picking on them! I really really don’t know anything about them or share their attitudes or anything! I’m just too fucking lazy even to look!”
LOL
If old trolls are going to keep socking can’t they at least change it up a bit? Try a new tactic, vary their writing style. Do something so that the comment sections they get involved in feel less like Groundhog Day.
Troll:
I totally don’t care about MRAs
HOW DARE YOU SAY TERRIBLE THINGS ABOUT MRAS
We’re all monsters, here? That’s a strange thing for a pile of 300 babies to say. And how did you make that determination, anyway? Is it the same logic that says one ambiguous comment in an article means a whole organization is riddled with classism?
I’m short on sleep today and short on patience, and Sonichu’s argument (for want of a better word) is just turning into blah-blah-blah meaningless fuzz. What’s the point of a troll if they’re simply no good at trolling? WHAT IS THE POINT OF YOU??
