Is the “Bang Some Chicks” blog any better than the Pickup Artists it parodies?

trashywomen

I’ve been reading through the archives of Bang Some Chicks, a PUA parody blog featuring the imaginary exploits of the incredibly stupid chick-bangers F-Close Frank and DTF Dave and a couple of other faux PUAs.

What drew me to it was a post with the worrisome title “how to bang a native american chick” which I spotted via the Manosphere agglomerater blog Vive la Manosphere.

And, yes, the post itself lived up – well, lived down – to its name, as the extended excerpts below will make clear. In addition to misogyny, there is a teensy bit of racism in what follows, by which I mean, HOLY CRAP IS THIS RACIST. Also, brace yourself for deliberate misspellings and grammatical carnage.

first off native american chicks hate white dudes so your gonna have to get your game on son. get your peecock on with some tradishonal native american bling. the more bling you got on the better native american chicks love that shit espeshully if its gold or dymonds. if you got bling on that makes chicks notice you at the club &tells chicks you got money like a legit PUA be careful tho native american chicks will come up and ask you if you are on disability &want you to buy drinks.  chump move son dont do it

As will become apparent, the “joke” here is that F-Close Frank thinks he’s hitting on “native American chicks” but really he’s hitting on black women!

ok next up you gotta open a native american chick this is what i said. “yo whaddup its f-close frank. check this out you got a hella fly weave but are you native american.” she was laugin hella hard which is good cuz chicks love laughin. she’s all “check out this white boy” &i could tell her friends (also native american) are mad jellus. pretty soon im on the dance floor grindin on her big ass native american booty.

And the parade of racism continues:

we started makin out &went to the bath room to do some coke (this also works on japanese chicks) & wound up bangin. bad news tho she had full on national geografic tities shiit was hella gross not gonna lie. anyway got my nateive american chick notch &we got fryed chicken later

Yep. “Fryed” chicken. Very clever.

But flipping through older posts on the blog to see what other flavors of horrible I might uncover, I discovered that when Bang Some Chicks isn’t being outrageously and deliberately offensive it actually can offer some pretty spot-on satire of PUA and other Manosphere nonsense — as in this post ostensibly explaining “the 4 types of hypergamy every PUA should recognize,” which started out by informing readers that “some doctors made science for it so it is real !!!”

DTF Dave offered this explanation of one type of “hypergamy,” in the process providing a nice parodic summary of that Alpha Asshole Cock Carousel/Slut Who Got Old fairy tale that Manospherians never tire of telling one another:

chronic hypergamy: this is where a bitch just keeps trading up for herself and goes to get the best she can but she never stops even when she promises herself to a man. she keeps trading up and up until she is old and nobody wants to fuck her no more, then she blame everybody else because she is too stupid to know that a woman that nobody wants to fuck is largly worthless to most of the human race because then she is like a man but men are way better at being a man than women are. this is also called humorous hypergamy because its funny how they talk about it at jezebel like it don’t exist and REAL PUA men laugh at them when they are 36 with nobody to put a baby in their belly and they are become socially irrelevant

Here’s the incredibly super-scientific chart DTF Dave used to illustrate the post:

science-by-doctors

In this post on picking up HB10s at the gym, DTF Dave explained why you should never wipe down the exercise equipment after using it:

always leave your swet on the machine when youre done. girls can smell the neurons in your swet after you leave it on many machines and they will come to notice your sent. its like a dog who lifts his leg everywhere to mark his territory only instead of piss you will leave your swet behind. soon women will talk to you like they know you because they have your neurons trapped in their nose holes and they wont be able to get you off their mind for sex.

Hey, doctors made science for it so it’s real!

I also liked DTF Dave’s announcement that he and F-Close Frank had made a joint New Year’s resolution to “choose one day a week and speak ONLY in pua acronems to keep our skills sharp.”

And there are other times when the author(s) of the blog let sheer surreal goofiness overpower their desire to offend, as in the post “game for black dudes how to get that pussy if you are black.” (NSFW link) Expecting more racism, I was relieved to find it was actually only an extended goof on goths, and on F-Close Frank’s stupidity.

Then there’s this post celebrating a guy – a real guy – who was recently arrested for having sex with an abandoned couch in public. “hell yeah dude is gettin it,” wrote Frank. “sucks he got busted by the popo but its whatevs.”

I have to admit I’m a bit puzzled by Bang Some Chicks. It’s an often clever and at times devastating satire of Pickup artisty — both of the gurus and the deluded followers. But it too often degenerates into random offensiveness for the sake of offensiveness — as is obviously the case with that “native american” post.

Rather than taking their satire all the way, the authors seem to want to be court jesters of sorts for the PUA community. They link to assorted PUA blogs — from old schoolers like Ross Jeffries and Mystery to Manosphere misogynists like Heartiste and the witless fat-hating Nigel’s Big Game Blog. In a couple of posts they recommend the blog of a PUA called Social Kenny. They even have a direct link to buy Roosh V’s ebooks.

Frank, Dave, you know these PUA guys are full of shit. Why do you want to have anything to do with them at all?

This seems overly reactionary. Writing in the voice of idiots espousing racist views to parody them doesn’t equate to “offensiveness for the sake of offensiveness.” It’s along the lines of the Chappelle’s Show blind black white supremacist sketch.

I agree that there’s a gray area around satirizing oppressive crap, but this is definitely on the wrong side of it. The whole “joke” of the post about Native American women is that he’s so ignorant he mistakes a black woman for a Native women, BUT he tells you she’s black by invoking a shitload of racist tropes (fried chicken, “big ass booty”, etc), so on balance it’s still pretty damn racist.

I apologize for my subject-number confusion above (“woman” vs “women”). I have a cold and the DayQuil is messing with my head.

This is definitely poor satire, but doesnt trip my asshole radar. A PUA doesnt care if a woman is Native American (because that would require them to care about said woman,) but rather that she looks enough like one to earn them kudos from their PUA “wingmen.” She could be black, Hispanic, Asian… as long as she looks Native American.

Legitimate PUA writings are already over the top ridiculous and racist, making it incredibly hard to satire convincingly.

I don’t know, PUA sites do have tendencies to be racist. Hell, “How to Pick Up Native American Chicks” could easily be the title of a PUA blog entry.
Still, it’s not a very good parody, I found it really hard to get through, not because of the offensive stuff, but because of how it was written. When I read it, I hear someone incessantly rambling, so I stop reading. The offensive stuff, while I understand what they’re trying to do, isn’t done right.

This could’ve had potential under a better writer. Better luck next time.

The stream-of-consciousness writing and lack of any detailed recounting of actual PUA techniques in the encounter is typical of a certain genre of “Cocaine and Sex” PUA blog, like the now-defunct VK’s Empire of Dirt.

This is pretty shit satire for two reasons.

First, it’s so damn painful to read. Yes, that’s the point, but it’s a totally worthless point. All writing, regardless of genre, should be pleasant to read. When parodying something that’s itself badly written, there’s a trick to emulating the badness of it in a way that’s itself fluent and readable, and these guys clearly aren’t able to hit that goal.

Second, there’s no focus. You parody something in order to make a point. For instance, I did Anti-Anti-Manboobz to point out the silliness of creating a blog entirely about how you hate another blog, Governments Get Puppies to show how ridiculous it is to expect the government to solve all your personal problems, and PJSP to prove that you can’t trust a source just because it has a sciency name.

But Bang Some Chicks has no point beyond “PUAs are stupid.” They could have focused on how PUA techniques are dehumanizing to women, say, or how they rely on ideas about the world that obviously aren’t true, or how they’re often far more convoluted and difficult than just talking to a woman like a normal person, but they don’t. It’s just slight exaggerations of the exact things PUAs say. It doesn’t leave you with any sense of why you shouldn’t subscribe to PUA ideas. It’s the blog equivalent to repeating someone in a funny voice.

Neurons trapped in nose holes? I wonder if that’s anything like having ferrets trapped in pant legs. The latter is a thing that happens. I have a 9 month old deaf ferret who is fascinated with clothes and is trying so hard to climb down the back of my sweatpants. When that doesn’t work out for him, he tries to get in through the pantlegs and ends up getting his head stuck.

This brainbleach is brought to you by the letter F and the number 3.

The question is, do they think it satire? I suspect not.

Okay, it’s 95% a miss, but this part actually made me laugh. 😀

They advertise Roosh’s book, so the satire fails regardless of content. You don’t sell products that benefit your targets.

The reason so many people fail at “satire” is because too often, their work enforces rather than mocks its target.

Example of good satire: “Safety tips for ladies” on Twitter.

“Neurons in nose holes” made me snicker out loud, but the rest was… meh. Sometime like this done by a feminist would be hilarious, though.

My dads ‘satire’ ends up like the first one :/ and qft for both parts of your post 😉

It struck me as almost indistinguishable – well, possibly worse written – from the PUA stuff I’ve read here. They really need to refine their technique if they’re going to do better than make the bleeding obvious point that PUAs are scumbags.

Sounds more like they want to be the PUA court jesters* than anything else. If they intend it as satire then a. they need better writers and b. maybe a few headings over their links would be helpful if getting better writers isn’t a possibility.

@Thekideiththereplacablehead

Could be! I had no idea that Ferret Legging was a thing. Then again, he may just be a PUA. That little guy is always trying to get in my pants.

And, he has had success, unlike most PUA’s: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=dvgj7l&s=5

Sorry… I can’t resist sharing such cuteness.
