Fidelbogening while the world burns

Ah, the infamous foreskin-to-face cream conspiracy rears its ugly head again. (Not a circumcision joke!) How do they think that works, exactly? Feminist obstetricians and nurses secretly paid by Big Face Cream to convince parents to circumcise their baby boys so that we can ride the cock carousel for a few more years?

Hey, Fidelbogan! We know you read this blog, because last time we made fun of you for having the default Twitter icon and you immediately went and made a personalized one. So…why is a tweet about suffrage tagged #rapeculture?

I honestly don’t know a single feminist who supports circumcision for anyone.

I have some tweets for Fidelbogen:

The idea that “lamps” are (or were) “parasites” is a fungus derived by #kittens — a tiny squid, a parasitic drama. #cephalopods #tentacles

Mormon’s picnics are neither good nor bad. Jello salads were just historically fashionable. #BillCosby #JosephSmithJr’sFeministArmy #jello #rapeculture #MRA

#Reindeer are disastrously top-heavy in their antlers, which tower to the sky. The crash will be appalling. #rapeculture #Santa

#Linguistics needs to get busy with one hell of a PR campaign. That should include a clear description of its “exit plan”. #NoamChomsky #GrammarArmy #MRA

Bulldoze first, get permits later. Much later. #avfm #mensrights #feminism #antifeminism #MRA #MGTOW

On a hilarious note, one of those Red Pill guys has apparently written and self-published a book (titled “The Red Pill”, of course) on Amazon. One of the early reviews is from another guy who says he agrees with Red Pill ideology (sigh), but the book is so spectacularly shitty that even he described it as “flat, hackneyed and excruciating”. Here’s a thread about it on the Blue Pill subreddit:

And the book itself (even the cover is awful):

And a few excerpts from the review:

…It hurts me somewhat to say this, because I know Patton somewhat and am on the same page as him ideologically, but this is one of the worst books I’ve ever read. He intended it as an introduction to the “red pill” and the “manosphere,” a corner of the Internet focused on helping men reclaim their masculinity and lead fulfilling lives, but it’s so poorly written that it almost makes me want to become a feminist.

…Second problem with this book is that the characterization is terrible. The characters in this book aren’t one-dimensional, they’re no-dimensional. There’s not a single bit of nuance or meaningful development among them. The good guys, like Andrew and his magical alpha mentor Adam, are saintly and heroic; the villains, such as Andrew’s roommate Joe and his sister Tracy, are stupid, snotty, lazy and entitled.

…Thanks to the book’s godawful dialogue and characterization, Adam comes off more like a male Manic Pixie Dream Girl than the zero-turned-hero cool guy that he’s supposed to be, and a number of violently homoerotic passages don’t help. From here, The Red Pill devolves into montage territory, with Andrew slowly getting cut, starting his own small business, and learning how to behave with a sack around girls. And naturally, Andrew’s fat feminist sister, once the pride of the family, is forced to move out and get a real job.

The reviewer closes with a statement that’s meant to be a dig at the book, but sums up the Red Pill as a whole pretty well.

At best, the Red Pill comes off as a pitiful nerd’s revenge fantasy, with all the storytelling quality of a high schooler’s fan fiction. If this is the Red Pill, I wish I had taken the blue pill.

Sorry, becausescience.

it’s so poorly written that it almost makes me want to become a feminist.

The mole we secretly planted in the PUA community has been surprisingly effective, ladies. 😀

Seriously, these guys are their own worst enemies.

Freitag! How’s an old fashioned cat these days?

like so many poorly crater blow-up dolls!

We’ve seen plush sex dolls in this person’s army, buddy. You’ll have to work really hard.

Admittedly, Poser gives you a big head start.

*shivers* Poser paranormal romance covers. A couple of my partner’s erotic paranormal romance novellas ended up with those. #thehorrorthehorror

“So…why is a tweet about suffrage tagged #rapeculture?”

@cassandrasays, I did not notice that until you pointed it out. WTF.

Very, very good question.

MRAs see the world as a zero-sum contest between men and women

I had a super dumb conversation with a radfem today who believed the same thing. Men and women are locked forever in an epic, biblical conflict of good vs evil! Or something.
