If you’ll forgive the self-indulgence here, I thought this little Twitter exchange between some of the Men’s Rights Movement’s top men was too good not to share:

To paraphrase Marge Gunderson, fictional Chief of Police in Brainerd, Minnesota, I’m not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work, there, Attila.

The Blackbeard dude who keeps insisting you’re a homophobe and that he’s “documenting” you is just bizarre. What’s funny (“Huh?” funny. Not “haha” funny) is that these guys are raging bigots, but they know that being a bigot is a bad thing. The complete lack of self awareness and projection is mind boggling.

I put ice in my water earlier. Now. it’s gone.
I suspect that David is involved.

I’m pretty sure that you don’t “found” an eccentric. Learn to English, dude.

Oh god guys, I just realized.

Fidelbogen is the COHERENT one in the conversation!

Please excuse me, I have to go to the nearest fallout shelter and bunker down. The end days are obviously upon us.

As near as I can figure out Vinczer just throws a wet thesaurus at the wall and copies down whichever words leave a print.

That is priceless, CK. 😀

Hemmingway App agrees that Fidelbogan is being the clearest – it was completely confused by Attila’s comments.

That sculpture in the image you added… I’ve been there. It’s quite a thing.

They love to make shit up about David. Today on Reddit, they were making shit up about how he supports child prostitution. It was kind of a stretch. By “kind of a stretch,” I mean completely fabricated out of thin air.

I saw the twitter exchange between David and Dan Perrins. This should be hilarious.

I have to remind myself that these are people who use the term ‘social justice warrior’ as an insult. It’s like being called an altruist by an Objectivist, or a race traitor by a neo-Nazi.

@Robert:

“pacifist” from a member of the 101st Chairborne
“liberal” from extreme-right reactionaries
“tree-hugger” from environmentally-illiterate land-clearers
“soft on crime” from mandatory-minimum-supporting all-criminal-are-scum politicians

… any more?

Is it just me or is Fidelbogen actually…coherent? I feel as if I’ve fallen into Bizarro World!

Oh, others have noticed. LOL, *makes note to read thread before commenting*

@fidelbogen @DavidFutrelle So he is an intolerable Gestapo like eccentric founded on the principals of indiscriminate discriminatory hatred.

I feel like someone just decided to go a little wild with their thesaurus use. Less can be more, dudebros.

I’m just impressed that the dude was able to type something vaguely sense-making. Good for him. Maybe he’ll work on the verbosity thing in a few years. Baby steps, y’know? Also, this entry makes me want to come up with a list of “David Futrelle Facts”, lol.

Does there need to be any answer to the question “why…indiscriminantly mock MRAs” other than “it’s fun and we can’t harm your image any more than you do to yourselves”?

Also – professional hack. Isn’t a hack a journalist? Professional in this sense isn’t an insult. Way to go with the not-sult (a close relative of the not-pology, but not as often seen in the wild).

tooimpureangel, you need to read this thread. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: reading while eating or drinking can lead to choking or expelling food and drink on keyboards and screens.

T^hank you, kittehserf!
“That’s not a typo. David Futrelle’s hands are bears”
How on Earth does he type so well?

I wonder what effect Attila’s MRA discussions have on the number and quality of clients seeking to use the sorts of services that his and his dad’s business do. From both content and “quality” of argument perspectives.

David Futrelle probably types 300 words per minute…with his toes.

What does Attila do again? sorry, I’m deathly afraid of Googling MRA’s.

David Futrelle wrote all Shakespeare’s works on the tusk of a woolly mammoth.

Attila is the one whose dad did the design for the coins of hilarity, right?

I still think it’s someone attempting to cast eyedrops into a butthole (why anyone would do this remains unclear).
