Here — above and below — are a couple of amazing works of Men’s Rightsy propaganda I missed in my survey of deviantART yesterday, both from a fellow calling himself alexlartwork22. And, yes, they both seem to be meant completely seriously.
Thanks, Tulgey Logger and Cloudiah for finding these! Is anyone else reminded of Chick Tracts here? The crude drawing, the melodrama, the excessive word balloons?
My post yesterday inspired (or at least provided the excuse for) rather a lot of comments, many of them rebutting a Men’s Rightsy fellow calling himself Good. Below, a graphic from Katz memorializing one of Good’s more, er, memorable pronouncements.
Wow… it’s almost as if both men and women are capable of being awful people. Brz, you have opened my eyes, truly! Thank you. I’m now ready to learn how to spell my own name.
Are we sure it’s a troll? From what I’ve heard, this is exactly what women in the U.S. civil rights movement were told. And #Occupy, although they didn’t tend to come right out and say it. And god knows how many other “progressive” social movements.
You get it wrong Athywren, it’s not about people being awful and, in fact, saying this is problematical as we have a situation where an underprivileged woman is threatened by the cyber-soldiers of the patriarchy, comparing her attitude and the attitude of the people who insult her is like comparing apples and oranges, blaming both the oppressed and the oppressor, it’s privilege-denying, it’s victim-blaming.
I think you should check your privilege a couple of times before giving your opinion.
Brz, that weak shit isn’t even considered funny on /r/SRSsucks.
Is it possible for Brz to not be tiresome? So far I don’t think so.
The evidence suggests not.
“Shhh, do you want Argenti’s fish starting a revolution?”
Oh they already have. I’ve discovered dollar store bread has HFCS instead of real sugar because I feed them before myself. I am so the serf here!
Speaking of fish and strange buzzing noises…Brz, could you be so kind as to land in either puff’s tank or the snail tank? They like bugs.

Not as much as you might think. They do aknowledge racism and definitely think of America as a racist nation, but they don’t focus on it. Black nationalists tend to emphasize things that blacks can do own their own to improve their situation. That’s actually part of the appeal of the black power movement.
This one actually was a troll by their own standards; they deleted his comment.
Thanks, Walter. 🙂
Saw that story yesterday on Gawker, and yup, everyone was in agreement with the above statement. This is only confusing to MRAs, apparently.
Also, such harassment is not activism. The activism was in the public shaming of her conduct, which is already in effect. Whatever blog aspirations she had are eclipsed by her choice to do this. She is always going to be “that girl who went nuclear over a guy she barely knew.” The work is done.
But of course, MRAs are not about any sort of actual activism. They’re all about abusing women. That’s right, I said it. You fuckers are the abuser’s lobby.
It probably is after Good’s bedtime, he was getting stroppy. Being that stupid must be exhausting
Good has a life, you hermit.
The fuck is going on here. I’ve been gone for awhile, but now that I’m back I have to say…
Trolls are derailing everything.
Oh, and Good. I kind of doubt it. Living a life full of anger and bigotry sounds like an awful existence to me.
“Good has a life you hermit.”
Oh here we go with the whole “I have a life and you don’t!” crap. Good, you don’t get to hijack threads with your leading questions and mental masturbation, and then claim somehow the regulars here are hermits while you have better things to do. Get some self awareness. Or just go away, live your life, go to bed, go poke some other blog you have no interest in honestly engaging in.
This. If you “have a life” and are oh so above all of this, then why the fuck do you insist on staying here, where you are clearly not welcome? There are plenty of MRA slimepits for you to hang out in.
Yet again, you illustrate my point. MRAs are the abusers lobby. You come here to “stick it to the bitches.” You’re a harasser, an abuser, and a piece of shit.
I like Audrey Kawasaki’s stuff, it’s pretty.
(Sorry that’s all I have to contribute to this thread, I don’t feel like getting into it with trolls today and everyone else expressed sufficient confusion over the comics).
Although, Brz has made me wonder how easy it would be to do the same thing s/he’s doing to MRAs. Probably really, really, really easy. Actually, what am I saying, wondering? I can’t even tell if people are trolling MRAs with crazy stories half the time.
Why is having a life supposed to be mutually exclusive with spending time online again?
Good, This now makes at least two threads* where you’ve gotten multiple substantive responses critiquing your comments, and then you disappear — either to never reappear there, or to make insubstantial comments that don’t engage with the critiques. Since you are incapable of engaging in honest debate, and run away whenever you’re bested, might I suggest you go (and stay) away?
*I am pretty sure this is his pattern wherever he appears, but I am too lazy to go back to check.
Re Kawasaki, why does she only know how to paint one facial expression?
Good, if you’re going to run away and come back, the least you can do is not pretend that the last day’s worth of comments didn’t happen.
You were rebutted extensively, at length, in depth, in all sorts of ways that I’m sure you have trouble grasping.
I know complex thought is difficult for you, but if you want to be seen as intellectually honest in a conversation like this than at least pretend that you’re paying attention to posts that contain information and studies that contradict your ideas.
Hey, most of us used your name when we disagreed; you can use the search function to skip through the page and see what happened directly related to you, you don’t even have to read anything! (I just did that to see if you’d engaged with anything of substance)
Otherwise you look like you’re just here to drop turds on the floor and never think, and that’s just unattractive.
Once again, I’ve managed to say in a page of words what Cloudiah said in a few well-crafted sentences.
…this is how you can tell I’m trying to write fiction.
😛
Re Audrey Kawasaki, wasn’t familiar with her before now. Having done a quick search, her paintings make me uncomfortable. All thin, white, idealised child-women. The art nouveau elements are very pretty but, as Augzz says”dead, white 13 year olds, that are really damn sexualized” – ick!
