So on Halloween the dude in the pics above went out dressed as a … well, a Men’s Rights Activist, I guess, or maybe a GamerGater, or Redditor? Something along those lines. Whatever he was, he apparently won second prize in some sort of costume contest.
Well, the dude at the Tumblr blog Indefinite Free Pizza is having none of it:
I have to admit he’s kind of got a point about the Doritos.
And he does have some awesome cat pics on his Tumblr as well.
I mean, just look at these awesome cats.
But I think there’s something terribly wrong with this bird.

OK. Let me try again.

Young Stalin’s hair was marvelous:

Inez found my next Halloween costume!
Also, I knew Fawkes was a villain in Britain, but isn’t he celebrated in Scotland? Like, “Awesome! He tried to blow up Parliament! Eff the Brits!”
Maybe next year I’ll dress up as Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean.

Couldn’t make it all the way through and can’t find contact on my phone plus e-mail being wonky and I’m guessing content warning here is the latest GG nonsense.

It looks more like a strap holding his hair on like a helmet
From what Shaun Day linked about a new gamergate strategy
lol
But actually it’s about ethics in gaming journalism, because most game journalists are teenagers on Tumblr
No, Scottish people do not generally think that murder and mayhem are awesome.
(FFS)
Given that Tumblr’s userbase leans more female than male, and gamergate is 4chan-adjacent, and 4chan came up with Pedobear…ew. It’s like a really sick, twisted, horrifying version of when boys pull the hair of girls who they like on the playground.
I think I first heard of Guy Fawkes/Guy Fawkes Day from watching She-Wolf of London reruns on the (then) Sci Fi Channel.
I fail at misandry. I don’t dislike facial hair. I don’t like it to be ridiculously long, but let’s face it, that’s weak tea. And I’m not even manipulating my husband into growing his hair the way I want him to. (I think he looks better with a short beard, but he says that if he grows out his facial hair it is itchy, plus he feels that it is too patchy to look good.)
My mother and sister were on my dad about his moustache for years (he was too lazy to trim it very often). He said he would shave it off when my sister got straight A’s. She finally did.
Within hours, they both wanted him to grow it back out. We all thought he looked freakishly like his brother without it.
He’s kept it shaved for years now.
I don’t know if this story is misandry, but it probably is.
They must not realize the gamergate meme has been all over Tumblr for over a week.
@CassandraKitty Whoops, my bad. My high school friend went to Scotland in November and told me that was the deal, but now that I think about it, he’s maybe not the most reliable source of information. Sometimes my gullibility gets the better of me. Sorry!
I first heard about Guy Fawkes from an episode of Daria. The weird one in which holidays take human form and hide out in Lawndale refusing to do their duties. Guy Fawkes day is a British punk rocker type.
Scottish people don’t call the English “Brits” either.
Wow, for a bunch of people who complain that SJWs are whiners and purposely look for minor things which we then use to get upset over, that GGer is a whiner and got upset over something really minor. Oh noes, the oppression from just one person in a Halloween costume.
Oh my, wasn’t teenage Bruce pretty? Yow.
And yeah, curly bangs. I loved mine until suddenly I didn’t. Now I’m growing them out. Hip hip hooray for French-made combs, they let me tuck the whole mess up into a stylish pair of pseudo-Victory rolls. No one knows my secret…
from Shaun Day’s link in how to suck Tumblr users into GG
The irony it buuuuuuurns.
That link just fills me with tedium to an extraordinary degree. If it wasn’t for the misogyny and the doxing, it would be so easy to point and laugh at the delusions of grandeur.
Chiming in as a Scot, yeah..no..we don’t call the English ‘Brits’. Also we just called Guy Fawkes day Bonfire night and set off fireworks. I knew as a kid in a vague way it was linked to Guy Fawkes, and I knew the story, but it really had no interest for me. As I got older, the whole day lost interest and even as someone who support Scottish Independence it was never going be some day where we protested about rule from Westminster. It’s a kids’ celebration and an excuse for fireworks.
Cassandrakitty, BigMomma, also sorry. I realized after I hit post and reread it that I meant English, not Brits. Mea culpa?
vbillings, it’s all good, it just stood out as wrong, I’m not cranky.
Kaykay. Tone is so complicated over the Internet.
On a cats note, my kit has been following me around the house all afternoon. I feel like a god.
Normally Buzzfeed isn’t my thing but this cat video is pretty great.

A Melbourne hotel has cancelled the seminar of a self-described “pick-up artist” whose methods include choking female strangers.
Julien Blanc, 25, was due to give a talk at the Como Hotel on Wednesday night advising men how to “pick up women from open to close”
WWTH, that is indeed a great video. 🙂
Magpie – gah, that PoS was coming here? He should be locked up forever.
Young Trotsky had pretty amazing hair, too.
