[TRIGGER WARNING: Discussion of rape, violent misogyny]
Today, the easy winner in my informal “Worst Thing I Saw On The Internet” contest is a horrendous little hangout for dudes with a very particular sexual fetish: they like to fantasize about raping and sexually humiliating feminists.
The Breaking Feminist Superheroines subreddit (r/breakfeminazis), with 865 subscribers, describes itself as
A Fantasy BDSM Subreddit devoted to a Supervillian who enslaves, degrades, and humiliates Feminist Superheroines to teach them their place as women
Some of these “feminist superheroines” are mentioned by name. The top two posts in the subreddit right now link to badly photoshopped fake porn pics of Anita Sarkeesian.
Another of the top posts is a story in which a TV news anchor named “Rachel” – presumably Rachel Maddow – is cavity-searched against her will by a Sherriff.
Most of the other “superheroines” remain anonymous, probably because the bulk of posts in the subreddit consist of BDSM fetish porn repurposed into antifeminist fetish porn through the use of lurid headlines:
The Feminist political prisoner is awakened from her sleep to be dragged by her hair to her daily fucking by MRA prison guards
Ex-Husbands line up to apply a paddling to the ass of the Feminist Divorce Attorney who had ruined their marriages
The Misogynist Activist gloats as he enjoys the abundant company of the sex he despises and has brought so much misery to
Clearly, the fantasies described and depicted in the subreddit aren’t only sexual; they’re derived, in large part, from the political and social fantasies of Men’s Rights Activists and other manosphere misogynists.
This is hardly surprising, considering the people behind the subreddit. One of the subreddit’s mods, and its most active contributor, seems to consider himself an MRA. He calls himself mravidz, which I can only assume is short for MRA vids, and his submissions often feature MRAs enjoying their new supremacy over women – including one in which an MRA, after a lifetime “struggl[ing] against militant Feminism [had] achieved total victory, [with] former Radical activists serv[ing] obediently as foot-rests.”
The other mod, oxymuncha, is the founder of TumblrInAction (an anti-”Social Justice Warrior” subreddit with 137,000 subscribers) and mods four other TumblrInAction spinoff subs. He’s also a mod of KotakuInAction (the largest pro-GamerGate hangout on Reddit) and the Gor subreddit (a porn subreddit inspired by an infamous series of male supremacist SF novels).
Indeed, the central fantasy underlying the subreddit – a postapocalyptic utopia in which men reassert their dominance and control over their former feminist rulers and women in general – has long been a favorite topic of discussion amongst Men’s Righsters and Red Pillers. There’s a certain kind of MRA who gets as excited as any doomsday prepper when talk turns to what many MRAs see as the impending apocalypse – when society collapses and women are forced to come begging back to men for protection and guidance.
“Men will notice a decided shift in women’s once hostile attitude towards them,” the MRA message board regular Keyster wrote in the comments on The Spearhead.
They will be actively engaged in seeking out male protectors and openly using sexual allure to attract them as mates. Men are so much better at defending themselves from bad guys, so you’ll want one with you if you’re a woman.
The Breaking Feminist Superheroines subreddit turns this rather widespread MRA fantasy into an explicitly sexualized vision of male (MRA) supremacy and female (feminist) submission, and adds some science-fictiony overtones to it all.
The subreddit’s sidebar spells out the basic narrative:
A Historical Chronicle of the Gender Civil Wars, in which Radical Feminists finally push Men too far, leading to a hot War of the Sexes in which the forces of the Feminist Menace are smashed in battle. What would a hypothetically constructed world in which Feminism has been decisively defeated, and women have been returned to their natural condition as Slaves look like?
Apparently for some of the contributors it looks a lot like a world in which Anita Sarkeesian’s face has been badly photoshopped onto porn pictures.
But others on the subreddit are a little more, er, imaginative. In a post titled “How would you tame a Feminist Leader you captured in the Gender Civil Wars?,” a contributor who calls himself femshit asks for advice in coming up with fantasy scenarios.
Suppose the Gender Polarization continues along current lines into a full blown Gender Civil War, a hot war of the sexes. Males are sick of emasculation and revolt against Feminist Totalitarianism and their mangina white knight allies.
Males quickly establish tactical supremacy. And the only advantage females have, is that MRA forces use rubber bullets, so they can capture Feminist POWs and transform them into cuntslaves.
MRA forces capture the Feminist Senate Hall of the Herpublic. And you are assigned one of the captured Feminist Senators as a War Prize. What steps do you take to break her in and teach her to accept her gender inferiority?
She is totally at your mercy, but still spouting tumblr SJW about gender equality and how her spirit will never be broken.
what are some ways to humiliate and degrade her feminist ideals of equality? how do you show her just how weak her soft feminine body really is?
how do you get her to learn the inherent inferiority of her cunt sex?
A commenter called cuntamer responds:
As a leader she’ll need to be held accountable for her crimes against men during the war. She should be put on trial in the local stadium and made a spectacle of as any man with a grievance comes forward and testifies against her. After all the intimate and humiliating details of her life are read aloud as evidence, and testimony is over, she will be sentenced appropriately for her infractions. The trial will conclude with a ceremonial stripping and burning of her and her colleagues clothing and worldly possessions as they are led off in chains.
I’ll spare you the elaborate rape fantasy that follows.
While most of the “stories” in the subreddit consist of little more than elaborate headlines, there’s a separate BreakFeminaziFavs Tumblr blog [NSFW] in which some of the fantasies are developed in more detail.
In one vignette, a new widow is turned over to “the bloodsucking loanshark who had driven her husband to suicide.” When she resists,
He handed to her the MRA Civil Code and to her horror it was all true. She would not even be given the mercy of attending her own husband’s funeral. Instead she was to be taken away immediately to become the fuck-slave of her husband’s worst enemy. Her black mourning lingerie just aroused the beast more.
In another, a former Feminist assassin becomes a pregnant slave to a mansplaining master with a fetish for Evo Psych:
For him the ideological victory over Feminist Science was more important than petty abuse.
He lectured the Feminist Ideologue like a little schoolgirl, on how her strange cravings were easily explained by Evolutionary Psychology. How Cavemen would slaughter entire tribes and take the women as booty. Women’s entire psychology was shaped to serve the children of their Master’s. Their taste buds were totally warped to protect their babies. … She no longer existed for herself but for his child. She was but a robot fulfilling the needs of the fetus.
Again and again in these little stories, “uppity” women are brought low by men they had oppressed or insulted. A “fallen” female CEO is subjected to spankings at the hands of her employees; a Feminist philosophy professor is humiliated by “Frat Bros [with] a more intrinsic understanding of the Ethics of Nietzsche”; a “Christian Fundamentalist Congresswoman” is raped and impregnated by the “Atheist Liberation Front.” An Occupy Wall Street protester is forced to serve drinks “for her Wall Street masters” wearing little more than a ball gag.
Paul Elam of A Voice for Men famously told one feminist that “the idea of fucking your shit up gives me an erection.”
Apparently he’s not the only MRA who feels that way.
@rmfishburne,
Why? Why the hell would you assume that a subreddit posted about on a site specifically about mocking MISOGYNY, presented as “Worst Thing I Saw On The Internet”, WITH A FUCKING TRIGGER WARNING was somehow just BDSM funtimes? Ignorance is not a fucking excuse here, nor is being a noob. Do you know much horrible shit is posted about on this blog? A LOT. Do you how many posts come with a trigger warning? Not that many, proportionally. But you just went ahead and assumed this was the perfect time to talk about your rape fantasies. Ass, indeed. Gtfo.
Reblogged this on leannewllr.
Quick update on Oy de la Vey XV: Triumph of the Shill.
I got a message from Facebook today:
I guess enough people reported it. It only took a week.
There is some shitty reddit out there for messed up people, #wow #woah
Way to generalize thousands of people based on the actions of one

ugh i feel like Maggie from little Britain… I want to projectile vomit on these awful awful people.
So this is not happening now?
And this? It’s not what men actually do?
And this, this doesn’t happen now either.
Why do I get the sense that while they’re describing a “utopia,” they’re actually only telling us about things that they already do? The whole post is very self-revelatory of the whole “MRA movement.” They have just put on paper the bowel movements of their minds and admitted it’s not men’s rights they’re after, or that they are defending equality. They just like to humiliate women. And they use all these tactics to do it (mansplaining, rape, etc.)

Say that to a male victim of domestic violence, by either women or men, I dare you.

Double ew.
Also, apparently you found the extremist MRAs.
Also, I would like to point out that if TERFs aren’t feminists, then these guys aren’t MRAs.

I think Paul Elam is the only one in the list who was joking. When he posts or says terrible stuff, it’s always to show the bad side of feminism or just to draw attention to the good side of the MRM by being the bad side (like how Malcolm X was the bad side, and Martin Luther the good side of the Civil Rights Movement).
Though, to be honest, I wonder how these extremists think about feminist men or feminist trans men/women/nonbinary…
I wonder if any of them fantasize about those ones?
Considering that trans men are biologically female, it’s possible for at least trans men. (A study found that 3% of straight men would date or have s*x with a trans person, 50% of which were trans men, while only 2% of straight women would date or have s*x with a trans person.)
I hate these extremist MRAs…
They’re disgusting.
I do not appreciate you guys associating the rest of us MRAs with these extremists that need to be locked up.
Also, like you said, don’t apply to the BDSM community. I myself am a part of it (sub and bondage, I won’t go into any more detail), so I can understand why you guys don’t like this subreddit, because I certainly don’t.
@josays:
[quote]Look it’s okay to criticize this sh*t without wrining hands hand saying that you’re defintely okay with bdsm/r*pe fantasies, no prude here oh no![quote]
Actually, it can clear up stuff.
[quote]Let’s face it BDSM and r*pe fantasies can, and frequently are, full of misogyny and should be looked at VERY critically too.[quote]
I’ve come across too much p*rn in which men r*pe other men (or boys) and it’s written like it’s not, it’s written to turn on. It’s disgusting.
[quote]Basically, most porn and patriarchal sexual behaviour is about putting women in their place so they’re being very honest here.[quote]
Not from the p*rn I’ve seen. Even straight p*rn, I’ve seen women dominating men or outright r*ping them. I haven’t seen a single with women being dominated, though I came across one where they said they were r*ping her, and I didn’t even click on it.
My fantasies usually contain men, however, so my fantasies can not be applied in this sense.
“Also, apparently you found the extremist MRAs.”
The extremist MRAs is the whole blog, dude.
Why do you keep necroing threads though? I know the MRM is irrelevant lately, so they don’t get written about as much anymore, but jeez.
@weirwoodtreehuggersays:

How so? Literally, only a portion are about MRAs, and not all of them even have actual MRAs in them, or it blows up a problem and makes it seem bigger than it actually is (https://acidmensrights.wordpress.com/2020/12/03/mra-says-trans-people-are-allies-we-hunted-the-mammoth-thinks-most-mras-are-transphobic/).
> Why do you keep necroing threads though? I know the MRM is irrelevant lately, so they don’t get written about as much anymore, but jeez.
How is it irrelevant lately? I’d say the MRM is actually more relevant, considering that we’re increasing in numbers, in more people knowing about us, the gender divide in South Korea, etc.
MRA has largely been integrated into the extreme right, who used online manosphere spaces as recruiting grounds.
But hey, if you want to talk about MRAs around the world, how about the ones in India who are currently pissed off about the prospect of marital rape being outlawed?
