I don’t usually post raw videos from the insufferable assholes I write about on this site because, well, they’re insufferable assholes, and listening to them smugly opine about shit they’re completely ignorant about is generally about as entertaining as, you know, GirlWritesWhat videos. (I know, that’s a bit circular, but I really couldn’t come up with anything more insufferable than that.)
Anyhoo, I’ve broken my rule and posted this video because the two guys who made this video — the would-be filmmaking duo of jordanowen42 and Davis Aurini — are so over-the-top in their insufferable assholism that it’s actually kind of perversely charming.
You see, these two woman-hating YouTube blabbers — the first a belligerent doofus whose apartment is nearly as unkempt as mine, the other a sort of PUA version of Anton LaVey — are pitching what they claim will be an important new documentary exposing the evil “Social Justice Warrior” agenda of evil women and traitor men like Anita Sarkeesian, Zoe Quinn, and, well, I can’t remember the names of any of the men. It’s called The Sarkeesian Effect. And they want your money to fund it.
Their promised “feature-length documentary” will be a powerful work of investigative journalism that will give a voice to the voiceless — to the “silent majority” of, well, angry white dudes who spend whatever time they don’t spend playing video games posting obnoxious and abusive comments about Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn to YouTube and Reddit and eleven zillion other websites that cater to them.
In other words, this is the loudest “silent majority” I’ve ever run across.
But these are guys who love to pretend that their bold thoughts are being silenced, and PUA Anton LaVey Davis Aurini happily panders to their persecution complex:
Don’t let these people silence us. Your contribution will be a defiant strike against the degeneration and corruption that is going on in this world.
The word “degeneration” helps remind us that Aurini considers himself a part of the neo-Nazi-lite “Dark Enlightenment.”
Anyway, they argue that you should send them lots of money, because PUA Anton LaVey’s suits can’t be cheap you’ll be striking a blow for every dude who’s ever called Anita Sarkeesian a “whore” in a YouTube comment. Well, they don’t literally put it that way, but, you know, come on. That’s what they mean.
And hey, who wouldn’t trust this dude with their hard-earned cash?
I found this video hilarious from start to finish. Stick with it at least until, a little after 6 minutes in, PUA Anton LaVey Aurini lights up his second cigarette, showing what a devil-may-care attitude he has by mumbling his lines with a cigarette in his mouth as he fiddles with his lighter.
Yep, that’s the kind of quality investigative journalism you can expect from these two.
Tell me, how many subscribers do vocally anti-feminist atheists have, like thunderf00t, TheAmazingAtheist, Internet Aristocrat, Stephan Molyneux have?
How many subscribers do pro-feminist atheists like HannibaltheVictor13, SequesterZone, LittleKropotkin, and AwesomeRants have?
Ironically, the most reasonable and thorough criticisms of Sarkeesian (the ones not hateful of women as you put it) are from pro-feminists like Hannibal and Tooltime. There are practically NO reasonable criticisms from the ultra-libertarian/antifeminist/MRA crowd.
And by Jove, I’ve mastered the blockquote! I need to eat a cookie!

Aw shit, that’s big. *&@$%& WordPress.

“We, the people”…what is this, a Declaration of Independence from reality?
“Social justice warriors” = dog-whistle for “people we actually do hate and are trying to shut down, albeit very ineptly”.
“Your seething, raging inability to understand that reveals how narrow-minded and ideologically blinded you are”…pot, kettle.
ToMAYto, toMAHto. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. Same shit, different outhouse.
Well, while this thread is still active, I have a relevant comment to add!
Because of the tireless efforts of the MRM to advertise Feminist Frequency & Anita Sarkeesian*, I’ve now watched the two most recent of her videos.
I’d been avoiding them for several reasons. Time, workload, etc. but mostly I thought that, as a feminist gamer myself, I was probably already aware of most of what she’d be bringing up. Umm… big nope on that last one. Obviously there were the things in games I hadn’t played, or things down paths I hadn’t chosen in games I had played, but there were also a lot of things that I just didn’t notice or excused away as setting.
Anyway, not the point. The point: While watching, I found that, despite not being hateful of women, I disagreed with things!! I could easily have written a long and serious rebuttal of her points!!! Except that she then addressed these issues completely, and I had nothing. Oh well.
I’m going to have to make a point of watching the rest, and keep an eye open for others.
*Are the “Men’s Rights” Movement, in fact, a false flag feminist… foray? Set out to drive people toward feminism and the understanding thereof? Hmm… tricksy feministses!
soo this ISN’T a parody/satire/commentary on how idiotic MRA people are? With that music choice? Those outfits and hair? This really seems like a joke.
there is no way this is real with that background music.
Heh. These guys cry about conspiracies and trickery while they use Anita Sarkeesian’s name to try and gain “fame and fortune.” Talk about hypocrisy. Time for someone to put on their big boy pants and grow up.
You’re just absolutely adorable.
I love how Social Justice Warrior has become the new “hipster” as a term for “person I disagree with.”
FWIW, i’m a social justice red mage. Gotta get that fighting/magic balance going.
Dude, Mr. PUA totally looks like Frank Fontaine from Bioshock. I mean its fucking EXACT. Watch out, he might have some Plasmids up his sleeves!
To understand, a couple of social justice worriers are rallying the troops to expose how social justice worriers rally troops… redundant much?
I don’t know, Richard, do you redundant much?
He certainly doesn’t English much, that’s for sure.
I dunno, I was a social justice worrier…But through therapy, meditation and the proper medication, I became a social justice trickster.
I am a social justice problem solver because I have a sword.
Thanks for that. I’m wiping the slime off my screen and part of my brain just died.
…the bald guy? He’s being serious? I thought his whole thing was ‘schtick’ and satire because of the ridiculous background, that jacket, the drink in one hand and cigar in the other?
My volume was turned off and so I only had the visual at first – which appeared to me to be one of the lamest characters SNL has put out in a long time due to the setting alone! Then I heard him speak and his over the top gestures made me think he had to be satirizing some other youtuber I didn’t know about or something…..
I’m so glad that you are finding these guys and mocking them – not that they need much more than exposure to be seen as nonsense, but it’s really good therapy to openly ridicule their misogynistic asses too 🙂
