With #GamerGate floundering, the Internet Douchebag Squad whips up a #Shirtstorm

I love how feminists simply COMMENTED about the shirt and people act like someone set the guy on fire. Feminists never sent death and rape threats en masse to the guy, just told him that his shirt represented the boy’s club of science; a boy’s club does not include women. This is goddamn easy as shit.

Cartoon cheesecake boobs on purple polyester is “edgy”? These people do know that Anchorman was a. a comedy and b. spoofing the 70s, right?

Shockingly, one can be a brilliant scientist and have horrible taste in clothes at the same time.

Also, the first thing that came to mind when I saw the shirt was that it reminded me of a Hawaiian shirt but instead of pineapples/etc., it was covered in cheesecake.

Also, FUCK OFF VOX DAY. I’m so sick of the argument that gets lobbied at feminists:

Feminist: [insert issue here] is problematic for women because [insert reason here]

MRA: I thought feminism argues that females aren’t delicate little butterflies that need protecting. Now you’re saying you are?

Feminist: Of course not. We’re not delicate butterflies but this IS a legitimate problem.

MRA: Well if you’re not delicate little butterflies then stop whining and suck it up. You want to be treated like an equal? This is it.

Ugh. I would think by now that the rest of the internet would be sooo over it. Mr Taylor apologised, even though nobody was really asking him to in the first place.

I doubt the STEM “boy’s club” has really been affected by any of it. The status quo prevails.

There’s probably not much mileage in Shirtgate to begin with. I want to hope that by tying themselves to this cause célèbre long after most people have lost interest, all these Manospherian Muppets can vanish into a puff of irrelevance.

And yet these are the same people still angry about that “Dongle” episode, and that incident concerning an elevator. It’s not enough for them to flog the dead horse, they have to drag it around town with them and yell at everyone about it.

Making a man apologize and cry…a crime worse than a thousand death and rape threats. They mad. Totes rational and logical, anger isn’t an emotion.

That letter though. It’s nice get up on a Sunday morning and have a hearty guffaw. I lost it at the “you have unleashed the dogs of reason and logic.” They just love monologuing like cartoon supervillains.

I was wise not to drink my tea at the computer this morning.

I laughed so at “microaggression harpies”.

Apparently, angry tweets from feminists are a constant problem making science celebrity fame a hostile environment for sexists.

Too many “gates” going on these days

What does the “gate” word actually mean in this context anyways?

nightmarelyre: The “gate” part comes from the Watergate scandal from like a million years ago.. after which people apparently decided sticking “gate” on the end of every scandal was a fun idea.

SJW have attacked my games my #gamergate revolt and now they are attacking #science.

How is criticizing a shirt attacking science?

I am a man. I’m sick of hearing that because of my gender, my opinions don’t count and sexism towards me isn’t real.

I’m guessing this dude has his head lodged too far up his own ass to see the irony here.

Just as the don’t see the irony in getting upset that Taylor was moved to tears by criticism that was reasonable and didn’t involve death and rape threats, but Anita Sarkeesian, Brianna Wu et al should just suck it up because internet threats aren’t real. They think women should be strong enough to whether horrific threats and doxxing, accuse us of being delicate little flowers for criticizing misogyny, but apparently men are above criticism because that’s what is truly obsessive and mean!

which expresses normal human sexuality

Since when was work the appropriate place to express your sexuality?

This is a case of extreme fury that I just can’t contain anymore.

you have unleashed the dogs of reason and logic.

If you want to convince everyone that you and views represent the epitome of reason and logic, maybe don’t make your whole argument about your emotions. Yes dudes, anger is an emotion, not a logical argument.

Is White Provocateur a video game reference I don’t get? Or is he a white supremacist?

Good lord anti-feminists will compare anything to rape. ANYTHING.

Anything except actual rape that is.

Pressing post. Blockquote mammoth be kind to me please!

Misogynists drawing false equivalencies? MRA’s engaged in dubious behaviour? Entitled dudes whining about threats to their crappy status quo?

Sounds just about like any other day. :/

*gets hip waders, SJW approved wand with sparkles, and keg o’coffee*

Any day that you can wake up and smackdown ludicrous poop this – is a good day.

I had a feeling someone was going to tell me about how Matt Taylor apologized at gunpoint. Internet sexists are achingly predictable.
