If you’ve ever wondered what the carefree, unencumbered-by-women-and-their-cooties life of a true Man Going His Own Way looks like, you’re in luck, as the video above presents ACTUAL FOOTAGE of just this. Apparently, Going Your Own Way looks an awful lot like Hanging Around and Pestering, at least if you’re Vention1MGTOW, a YouTube videoblogger who regularly offers up little glimpses into his awesome life.
In the video above, our hero, in between fits of giggles, gleefully relates how he “trolled” a cutsey YouTube video showing a high school coach who’d gotten his team to help him propose to his girlfriend. Vention1MGTOW did his best to ruin the mood by posting “a few strategic comments” (that is, endless screeds) attacking marriage and women and, well, you know the drill. My favorite line from his comments, which he proudly reads aloud:
I’m sure some old wrinkled up, STD, ex-party party girl would love to move into my home and begin diverting my income for her own use but I don’t really see a benefit for me in that deal.
I hate to break it to you, dude, but I’m pretty sure even the most thoroughly wrinkled-up ex-party girl would rather die alone and unloved than have to put up with you. Hell, I’m pretty sure the only reason your dog (he has a dog) puts up with you is because he has no idea what you’re saying.
If you check out the coach’s video, you can see that a whole swarm of MGTOWers have descended upon the comments. Vention1MGTOW’s comments are actually some of the more polite from that bunch.
Vention1MGTOW – from his choice of snack (ramen noodles) to his, er, casual sense of interior decoration – seems like such a perfect embodiment of MGTOWer stereotypes that it’s hard to believe he’s for real. But he is. He’s got 82 videos up on his YouTube channel detailing his various obsessions: MGTOW, Bitcoins, hugelkultur gardening, doomsday prepping. Oh, and he’s got a Segway.
If the video above merely whetted your appetite for more of Vention1MGTOW’s trolling, here’s a video in which he successfully infiltrates the YouTube comments for an Enya video in order to inform the women there that they’re all going to get old and ugly and no one will want them.
I may have to come back to him again later. He’s a charmer.
Many thanks to the unknown hero on Reddit who brought this fellow to my attention.
Whether or not someone gets a ticket has a lot to do with the nature of the violation, their prior driving record and – crucially – their behavior towards the cop when he/she pulls them over. Contrition, courtesy, and self-awareness go a long way. I’d guess many men (especially MRAs) get tickets because they’re mouthy, hate authority, and give off attitude, when they might have gotten off with a warning instead. Cops don’t take kindly to macho alpha jerks. Their job is to see to it that you are aware of your wrongdoing and aren’t planning to do it again.
One summer, at the camp I used to work at, there was a loudmouthed 16 year old junior counselor who used to play Driving Know-It-All with his buddies. One time I overheard him advising another kid, “If you’re driving along and you see a cop parked with a radar gun, don’t slow down. Slowing down is an admission of guilt! If they see weakness they’ll nail you!” As if roads are the Serengeti, and driving is a contest of dominance. I’m sure at some point he discovered firsthand just how expensively wrong that advice was.
Anecdotally, it seems like 80-90% of the time when someone cuts me off or has road rage, it’s a guy. The area where I live is rife with aggressive redneck bullies in pickup trucks who think nothing of clipping bicyclists for sport, hurling beer bottles out the window, and shining high beams at pedestrians. They’re almost universally terrible drivers. It certainly isn’t the mythical “lady driver” beloved of 1950s comedians who’s making the roads unsafe.
That’s my favorite Twilight Zone! 😀
It’s sad watching the MGTOW troll for negative attention like 9 year olds on a playground. After the initial entertainment, that is. I especially enjoy their lame “warnings” to women. Nothing is more pathetic than their ability to completely ignore reality and fail to realize the irony in their behavior in relation to the self-professed title.
Mr. Cup O’ Noodles is EXACTLY the type I have in mind when I imagine what those in the scrotosphere are like. Many thanks to him for the confirmation.
Ew, “bitch bin”. What a horrible fate for a lipstick.
Watching that second video and loling at the large Cottonelle box over that douche’s head. Keep it classy, dude.
I think if I saw a box full of women’s accessories in the home of a MGTOWer, I would probably assume that they were serial killer trophies, not the trophies of sexual conquests. Then I would get the hell out of there.
Regarding the crying to get out of tickets thing, something tells me that it’s mostly young, pretty, white and middle to upper class women who’ve been able to pull this off. It seems more like beauty privilege than female privilege to me. Of course, to misogynists all women aren’t young, pretty and white are invisible so it’s no surprise that they would interpret that as a “female privilege.”
I always kind of thought the crying to get out of tickets thing was bullshit and never really happened, at least on the roadside, even before I knew what MRAs were.
RE: leatapp
I can imagine that if you invited one of these guys to a kid’s party, they’d run around popping the children’s balloons and yelling, “There is no Easter Bunny! That cake will be gone soon and then you’ll all starve! DOOOOOOM!”
*laughs* Oh god I’ve known people like that.
RE: deniseeliza
I really resent the idea that crying is emotionally manipulative.
Same here. I actually trained myself not to cry because my family had a good dose of this, along with the combo of, “it’s not real pain/sickness/suffering unless you completely lose all control.” As you might guess, we were not the most emotionally healthy of families.
RE: Lady Ballsnip
I bet he’s a virgin?
I’ve known plenty of virgins who somehow restrain themselves so as not to be trolls.
Of course they completely overlook the fact that there is no privilege unless the MALE cops bestow it, but you don’t see them pointing fingers at them. If a guy on one of the MRM sites posted about his awesome power of picking up women by not giving them a ticket, they’d be patting him on the back for his “game”.
Not-a-giant-raging-ass-hole privilege!
I can testify to the fact that if a cop pulls you over for speeding and you are obviously crying and obviously have been crying for a while they are more concerned with sorting you out so that you will be able to drive the rest of the way to your destination without endangering others.
Then you have the predatory cops who check the points on your license and pull you over even if you aren’t speeding to tell you that if you give them a blow job they won’t write you up. That often causes some crying.
I have never seen anyone actually get out of a speeding ticket by crying so I am guessing that this is one of those stories “nice guy” cops have told over the years to make themselves look chivalrous and kind.
@deniseeliza
If things get too pressured/scary I cry too.
In Japan police can stop foreigners to check their identity cards. I had applied for a new card and so had 3 months grace period, but as I had been attending a conference with a long commute hadn’t checked my mail in over a week to check if I got the letter confirming this. A police woman pulled me over at the train station and I showed her my card. As the card was out of date I was asked to go sit in the police box. My japanese wasn’t so good, but they rang someone who spoke English and I explained the situation (am in the grace period, but haven’t received the letter). I was pretty scared. Then after this person had explained and hung up, the police asked me if I “remembered where the letter was” in English. I couldn’t remember the grammar for the japanese verb “to receive” and “yet”. Then one of the four cops stood over me and repeated the question in english loudly and slowly and I started crying and couldn’t stop. It wasnt that I thought crying would help, it was that I was scared. I got a Japanese friend to come help me, and fortunately the letter was in my mailbox.
I should probably say, police from that police box were pretty helpful in the past e.g. helped me find my keys when I lost them, so I think a lot of what happened was people genuinely not understanding each other’s situation. I don’t think the police were trying to scare me, I just found it scary.
Off-topic, but If anyone here is interested in video games, I randomly found this thread on the Eve subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/2358bf/destinys_response_to_reves_reaction_to_his/
Using search terms I found 7+ variations on the word autism, 11+ on r*****, 13+ on asperger. And they use “sperging” or “sperglord” as a common insult.
I know very little about Eve, just that it’s a space game that takes place in a large universe and is fairly complicated. Personally I love space, but it’s annoying to see it attract these types of people.
I used to follow the Starcraft community, and since they had mainstream ambitions with broadcasted tournaments and such, there was a lot of interest in eliminating sexism and transphobia. You still see it, but it’s officially frowned upon and typically downvoted. But I think since Eve is a more niche community with little mainstream appeal primarily populated by (for lack of a better word) “nerds”, it actually becomes much worse and the latent problematic aspects (ableism in this case) can’t be contained.
I don’t know why, but it disappointed me a lot finding out about it. I was always thinking about possibly playing that game, but having a diagnosis myself I can scarcely see myself playing this if the community is like that.
The “bitch bin”, as described, is simply a superstitious fetish. As long as they don’t make women actively run away from them, they’ll interpret it as having a positive effect no matter what the woman really thinks.
I never knew it was a reference to Asperger’s.
Since asperger as a diagnosis will cease to exist in the future the word might go the way of idiot/moron/r.., older medical terms that were discarded but that we can’t get rid of as a problematic insult. I hope it will turn out differently, and that I won’t have to be confronted with an endless barrage of kids spouting variations on it whenever I would dare entering online communities, but I guess it will happen despite my protests.
Random stuff left behind at a dude’s house – that’s what happens when the sex was so bad that the woman has got out of bed and left before dawn in order to avoid a. any attempts at more terrible sex on the man’s part and b. the awkwardness of explaining that the reason she never wants to fuck him again is that it was terrible. If a woman is leaving in a normal, non-sneaky way, she’s going to take her lipstick with her.
Damn right. Those are MY things and they come home with me.
Similar problem here, though I’ve never gone for my test at all. First few years I was working I had free public transport (perk of working for the railways) and up until recently I’ve lived much closer to the CBD, with trains and trams available for a shortish commute. Now I rely on one train that takes over an hour to reach the city, and not having a car for backup (I wouldn’t use it otherwise, the traffic’s dreadful) could make it difficult to get a job, or keep one.
I hear you on that.
I just remembered something funny from a couple of months ago: I was in the park on the way to work, and was laughing, or giggling, over something Louis had said. I was sitting hunched over because sitting laughing to oneself usually gets fairly strange looks from passerby. Well, a woman stopped and asked if I was all right, because she thought I was crying. That was a bit of unexpected kindness, asking a stranger if they were okay.
“Sperglord” and “sperging”? I automatically read those as variants on spooge, which seems more appropriate with these tossers.
Also, wait, Gothard is in trouble too? Does this mean that he’s going to STFU now? Oh happy day! Links, please?
@Katz: Sorry, I’m not trying to make fun of mental illness, I’m being quite earnest. He seems like he’s got some real problems beyond just being a jerk.
@LBT: That’s not really true. My girlfriend’s uncle had a nervous breakdown that made him go from mildly put off by gay people to full on crazy homophobic, and just a generally incredibly insensitive person. Assholism isn’t a mental illness, but mental illness can totally exacerbate it.
Just thought of something else, regarding “bitch bins”. Serial killers routinely keep trophies of their victims’ personal effects. They do this to enhance their murderous, sexualized fantasies of previous crimes, and to crank themselves up for the next one.
I don’t suppose that’s occurred to any of these bitch-binning trophy hunters, though.
Yeppers, Gothard resigned. Gory details here: http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2014/03/duggar-mentor-bill-gothard-sexual-harassment-allegations-ministry-leave/
I love that Jumpy dog video. Kitteh always posts nice vids to cheer us all up.
Bitch bins eh? If some guy told me he had a bitch bin I’d run away as fast as I could.
Aww, thank you, House Mouse Queen!
Say, there’s a gorgeous video linked on that one of rats doing tricks – did you see it?
You guys are truly pathetic, most of the men on this site are so bitch made.
“Bitch made?” There’s a bit of manosphere terminology I’m not familiar with.
