Oh dear. Fantasy author and garbage person Vox Day is having one of those (vox) days, and has decided to take it out on, you guessed it, feminism, pounding out an overwrought little rant on his Alpha Game blog.
Never give feminists an inch. Don’t agree with them, don’t tolerate them, show them no mercy whatsoever. Feminism is a Satanic, anti-Christian, anti-reason, anti-science ideology that destroys literally everything it touches and everyone who embraces it.
Wow. He’s so mad he’s practically plagiarizing Pat Robertson’s famous quote about feminism being “a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.” I’m not sure how Vox managed to forget the lesbian witchcraft angle.
Reject it and its adherents the way you would reject someone offering you plutonium on their bare hands; to accept it is to begin to die a slow and painful death.
Might I offer you some notes, Vox? This bit seems a little understated. I mean, the plutonium thing is pretty good, but a person handing you plutonium isn’t anywhere near as scary as having, say, a bear do it. Or a shark. Or a bear-shark. Or a bear-sharknado.
The problem isn’t merely that feminists are ugly and hateful, or that their ideology is incoherent and deluded, but that by mere toleration of them, through mere intellectual contact with it, you are permitting your life to be infected and degraded.
Clearly Vox, a dude who clings to memories of his D-list celebrity as a former member of an angsty dance band two decades ago, and who devotes much of his life to pounding out hateful and unintentionally self-parodic rants on the internet, offers us the very model of a healthy and happy life well-lived.
Reject all of it. Reject their appeals to equality. Reject their pretense to intellectual standing. And most of all, personally reject all of those who subscribe to it in any way, shape, or form. Any man who calls himself a feminist is ideologically transgender and mentally unstable.
Ideologically transgender? Wow. He’s come up with an even more obnoxious way to call someone a “mangina.”
Vox, you’re so cute when you’re angry!
And by cute I mean a you’re a pathetic, hateful, disgusting excuse for a human being.
Oh yeah, and the victim blaming. Tons and tons of victim blaming. Because of course.
🙁
“Crap, that excuse doesn’t apply in this case, we’ll just have to claim the court system is flawed but only in this particular case where it suits us“.
The “boys will be boys” attitude when it comes to athletes is so sickening. For a certain type of fan, women’s safety and well-being is less important than their continued right to see a plastic ball go between some sticks.
It’s a night mare?
That attitude is the reason why I tend to avoid male athletes, socially speaking. It’s not a fear of the athletes themselves so much as an awareness that if something bad were to happen the possibility of the victim getting support for the community around her is going to be almost nil.
I’ve seen a few episodes – the one based on The Empty House, and a couple of others – randomly, and enjoyed them (not least poor Watson giving Holmes a well-earned Glasgow kiss, lol). That was on the plane coming home last year. I think the show’s probably been on cable here, so I haven’t been able to see it, but now our public broadcaster has got hold of Series 1, I’m looking forward to watching it.
I do like Watson. 🙂
I saw this on Gender Police the other day and laughed. A lot.
Wowzers. Some troll left a teal deer the size of the Hindenburg back a page… I have one hour to finish packing before heading back to my job town, so I won’t pick it apart, but yeash!
When a troll posts something about 30 times longer than the OP…
… and it pretty much boils down to “Feminists are hypocrites playing the victim card”
Troll, you might want to get a life.
Off to finish packing!
I’ve probably already said this.
In a Study in Pink (the first ep) Sherlock is desc’d as a psychopath. I say “He’s not a psychopath he’s a highly functioning sociopath!”
Later on he is again called a psychopath in his hearing. He says, word for word, what I had earlier.
That was when I fell in love 🙂
Reasons that Ched Evans needs to remain in prison and not in professional football.
1) It was his own testimony that got him convicted. He admitted to having sex with a passed out drunk woman, yet believes he is innocent. In other words, he doesn’t think that what he did was rape.
2) On his website he released hotel CCTV footage of the victim so now people know what she looks like.
3) When his fan boys released her personal information online he said nothing. Did nothing to call off the baying hounds. I reckon he’s pissed he got sent to jail and welcomes this act of revenge.
Not to mention that returning him to his position will send out the message that if you rape a woman, after a short time in prison everything will return to normal. (He hasn’t actually completed his sentence unlike what the commenters say). Meanwhile she has to live with the trauma of what happened AND is in hiding because of what his scumbag fans did.
I would make a significant bet that if he goes back into pro football he’ll re offend within six months. Maybe less.
Would some kind soul like to donate their editorial services to Ciaran? He seems to have lost his delete key along with whatever social skill normally reminds people that nobody wants to read their giant teal deers.
Ugh, can we not just ignore him and his ridiculous rant? It was like one of Jordan Owen’s videos but in text form. In fact maybe it WAS one of Owen’s videos in text form.
I didn’t even skim it, just noticed contrapangloss’s comment, clicked back a page, went “no thank you, no teal deers for me today”, and snarked a little. Seriously, dude, nobody cares.
kittehserf:
Nice comic, heh.
contrapangloss:
I made it about a third of the way thinking it must be nearly finished soon the whole time. It was really good practice for keeping my irritation in check but I just don’t have that much time to give to what appeared to be based on what someone thinks other people’s views are of popular but annoying reality television shows. Or at least that was the impression I was left with. I’m not sure there was a point, it was terribly rambling and went off on more tangents than I do.
sunnysombrera:
Those are all good reasons. I think 2 and 3 more-so because they demonstrate how little he cares about what he did. It’s the message it sends that worries me most.
gilshalos, awesome!
I love that “I’m not a —- I’m a high-functioning sociopath” line. I heard it in one of those later eps, I think when Moriarty tells him he has to be a hero.
As for troll – well, I’m not even looking at that yet ‘cos it’s midnight here and I’m soon for bed.
Doubt I’ll bother tomorrow, either. Teal dear trolls are boooooooring.
sunnysombrera:
A few lines in it does actually say something about ‘in this video’, so I’m assuming it’s a transcript from some MRA youtube monologue. Possibly with skulls in the background and a beat-poet-looking guy.
Yep, a search for the first sentence show it’s a massive copy and paste from one of several places, including the comments on at least one other feminist blog.
Lith: so it’s not just a teal deer, it’s a copypasta. Great. Trolly McTrollington didn’t even write it out himself.
On the 2nd point about Ched, I wish to make a correction. It was his family that released the CCTV to show she was sober enough to consent or something. He again hasn’t said a word against it. However they did it without permission from police or the hotel so now they’re being investigated.
And guess what. Evans’ girlfriend is staying with him. *headdesk*
Dammit lith! Y U ninja me?
I made it a lot further through the tealest deer of all time than was reasonable.
On the upside, now I have an excellent mental image of a troll on a soapbox in an empty room pontificating to a literal straw man.
Also, here is the lowdown on the Evans case:
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/ched-evans-sordid-night-turned-4446954
The most chilling part:
And I don’t know why Mcdonald was aquitted but he shouldn’t have been. Apparently him and Ched knocked their heads together in joy when he was declared not guilty as well.
Sorry, bad syntax. Ignore the “as well” at the end of my post.
Add to those tension headaches, back pain, digestive issues and self medication. Getting the right kind of help, knowing my triggers and how to identify the cycles made me feel as if I had been resurrected. When I found a good nurse practitioner and could say the word “bipolar” without denial, it changed everything. I’m not without symptoms, but I’m doing so much better.
I say all that to say this: It’s an ongoing process to stay as well as possible. If you think you may need help, please get it. If you have to have a friend hold your hand while you do it (I did), do it. It is worth it. You are worth it. The people who love you are worth it.
Packed, at airport! In five more hours, I’ll be behind my desk at my desk job, awaiting eagerly next week when I actually get to start answering real math questions instead of doing inter-break video proctoring and paperwork and ew.
Can I get crossed fingers for actually landing in my job-town? High wind advisory for the morning, and the approach is on the top 20 worst approaches for runways because of mountains everywhere and wind and fog and rain/snow/sleet nonsense…
Also, it tickles my sleep deprived sense of humor to know the ridiculously long deer of teal was copypasta. I just got funny looks from the TSA guy because that made me chuckle-snort a little.
Re: Evans.
Nasty, nasty, nasty person. I have nothing more to say. 🙁
Wait, change one or more of those nasties to evil and we’re covered.
What is it with trolls and manifestos? Why can’t they just boil it down to a paragraph?
Here, troll, we’ll summarize your teal deer for you, using your own words:
I’m sure you can. However, the grownups are busy.
Good luck, contrapangloss! Hope your flight goes well and the wind gives you a break. (Er, maybe that wasn’t the best way to phrase that.)
