Candid photo of Davis Aurini, white nationalist on paper

Aw, who's a little racist? You're a little racist! Please poop on the paper please.
Aw, who’s a tiny racist? You’re a tiny racist! Please poop on the paper please.

Davis Aurini, the bald half of the Sarkeesian Effect brain trust, has famously declared himself “a huge white nationalist on paper.”

The candid photo above, which I definitely did not assemble using photoshop ten minutes ago, reveals that this is not entirely true. He is, in fact, a tiny white nationalist on paper.

NOTE: When I say that I “definitely did not assemble [this photo] using photoshop ten minutes ago,” this should be taken to mean that, yes, I did in fact assemble this photo using photoshop ten minutes ago. I spent a few minutes of this lovely spring day crudely photoshopping a swastika armband onto a puppy. This is the sort of sacrifice I make for this blog.

Oh gods above. He seems like the type of dog that would shit everywhere out of spite.

Now all those ridiculous claims that feminists want to castrate men make a little more sense, they’re afraid they’ll be neutered.

I like to think Aurini visits this blog from time to time, just to see what we think of him.

This is a good look for Aurini. The only way it could be better is if the body were a maltese or chihuahua or some other toy dog that thinks it’s hot shit when it’s scarcely taller than your ankles.

As a dog person and a roommate to a dog, I have to point out that unlike Aurini, dogs know not to shit where they eat. Also, this is the first face on a dog I’m not tempted to press my own face against,

So this is the first time I actually watched the “on paper” video, to get some context as to what the hell that means.

Long story short? He’s a “nationalist” that thinks every broad categorization of person is basically a separate species of human, so he agrees with the theory of white nationalism, but in practice he doesn’t like how white nationalists are so dang racist.

Yeah.

Basically, he wants to everyone to live separate but equal, each to the country of their race, and to interact with each other as if interacting with an alien species. Trying to work together and learn things, but ultimately stay completely separated.

He doesn’t like when white nationalists take glee in wanting to kill off other species. In his (paraphrased) words, if WNs intellectually came to the conclusion that black folks were an inferior species of human that should be wiped out, they should feel a sense of loss at what they would have to do if they were decent human beings.

Having fun yet?

Apparently the reason he hates “leftism” is because he swallowed the whole spiel about leftism being about professional victimization. He thinks that species on the left want to blame other species of human for their own problems, and use a history of mistreatment to justify violence, instead of wanting to work towards bettering their own species.

In his words, “preferring your own race is normal,” but “hating other races is pathological.” And you can bet your booties that he’s talking about the anger in the black community as “hating whitey” just as much as he’s talking about the white nationalists that “hate blackie.”

Delving into this guy’s philosophy is just bizarre. I finally sort of understand what he’s actually talking about, but the foundations are so alien to the ones of my philosophy that I can really only shake my head and go “no, that’s all wrong, what the hell is wrong with you?” Fractal wrongness isn’t even a strong enough descriptor anymore.

This is Aurini’s white nationalism on paper. A man sits in front of a camera, gesticulating wildly with a cigarette he only occasionally puffs, a whisky glass he only occasionally sips. A man who has to juggle the things in his hands even as he juggles the throughts in his head, believing something coherant came out. A man who resides in, and communicates from, the Twilight Zone.

… White nationalist edition.

I’m now reading through the comment section, for funsies, and I’m following a very long, very detailed discussion on how to partition the world so that every species of human can have their own homeland, and how to get everyone to move to the right place. Apparently the Americas are the de-facto “multicultural” place where people can go if they want to live with other species.. Isn’t that nice?

I use species on purpose… I feel like I have to mentally replace every country-turned-species-descriptor with something from a fantasy world where there are literally different species of sentient organisms living together. That’s the only way I can make things make sense to me.

BUT EVEN THEN their “solution” to… something… actually I’m not sure why they’re suggesting this at all in the first place… is basically just “welp, we tried having multiple types of people living in the same place and wouldn’tcha know, it didn’t work out. Oh well, better scrap the whole thing and go home.”

Actually, the fantasy world is a frighteningly good metaphor for this… It’s super common for fantasy creatures to all have their own homeland that embodies their species’ biological traits, with the “multicultural” areas being the playable world but in some sense not the norm. And they think that human beings are like this.

This is making me kind of depressed about fantasy worlds…

“On paper”? What paper has he written his fascinating little anti-leftist theories upon? He even uses the n-word on video, not paper, and you can tell he’s being neither sarcastic towards other white people who say that, nor citing someone else who said that, nor reading from Huckleberry Finn. He says that word, he MEANS that word. He does not like black people, and there’s no “on paper” about it.

Dude’s a straight-up racist and fascist, plain and simple.

Don’t tell Aurini, but he looks like more of a (gasp!) beige nationalist.

Oh, and he’s too fucking cowardly to just admit he hates black people. That’s what makes him extra-specially contemptible. If he had the nerve to admit he hated them, I’d still despise him, but it would be at least one thing I could kinda-sorta respect about him. The fact that he lacks the vertebrae to admit what he’s really thinking and feeling is what makes me just want to wash my hands at the sight of him, because it always makes me feel like I’ve been slimed somehow.

Kirby, if I had a dollar for every time some nerd* spouted a line like, “I’m not racist, but hear me out – racism makes sense in a fantasy world …” in an uninvited, non sequitur response to a discussion about race … well, I’d be able to afford a servant who’d type out my replies for me.

But, man. Widdle puppy still can’t make Aurini’s smirk tolerable.

*I know, I know. Stereotyping? Maybe. But I’m pretty confident that a person who invokes Dungeons & Dragons as a model for race relations is a nerd. Like, Occam’s Thinnest Razor Ever.

Yeeeeah, it’s why a lot of epic fantasy in the Tolkien vein makes me uncomfortable. It feels like a really creepy racist analogy, a lot of the time.

Also, damn is it sad that MRAs keep making my tongue-in-cheek story about genders dividing themselves down the Mississippi River something intended to be serious and intellectual. What about multiracial people? Are they just trapped in America FOREVER?

Seriously, the whole “races are like alien species” bullshit needs to die. That shit was old back in phrenology’s day. Just because YOU act like an alien doesn’t mean the rest of us do, Aurini.

Also, I have to know… which races get Lichtenstein and Trinidad?

RE: Mewens

*rubs temples* Ugh, what irritates me so much about that is there’s a much more simple, obvious explanation than, “D&D is right!”

D&D was pretty much ripped wholesale from Tolkien. Tolkien was a white dude in England in the 1940s. I think it’s safe to say dude probably mirrored his fantasy world in some ways off the segregated world he existed from.

Now, do you REALLY want to model your world entirely off the fantastic imaginings that was so heavily inspired by THAT ERA OF TIME? Seriously?

Seeing racism in my fantasy worlds always makes me want to pick up a sword and run to the defense of those being hurt by it.

I can’t tell you how much I hate Ulfric Stormcloak for his treatment of the Dark Elves in his city, and then there’s the whole issue that Kajhiits aren’t allowed in any of the cities, unless it’s the player character. I mean WTF? Shouldn’t there be at least a small side quest where the player character has to prove that they’re worthy of entering the city at least for the sake of consistency? Or some side quests trying to combat the racism and nord-centric attitude in Skyrim?

I’d like that very much, please.

Admittedly, the only reason I’d ever put Ulfric Stormcloak on the throne is to keep Riften out of the hands of Maven Black-Brier. I loathe her just as much, if not more.

Especially when she threatens me with my own fucking guilds. You can’t call the Thieves’ Guild or the Dark Brotherhood on me, Black-Brier. I run that shit.

I would also like an option to cut ties with Maven once you become the head of either guild. Her daughter’s the only one of her brood worthy of doing anything, in my opinion. Clever girl.

As much as I love the Lord of the Rings novels, every time I get to the Southerners … I kinda just nope past ’em.

I mean, I can EPIC MYTHOLOGY hand-wave away there only being like three elf-human pairings ever; I can fairy-dust rationalize dwarves’ and hobbits’ mating habits. But the Southerners? The reason that they come across as some proper Englishman’s fever dream of exotic evil … well … I don’t want to be too on the nose, but it’s obvious, isn’t it?

I have the same deal with Lovecraft. Guy gives us the gauzy sublimity of “Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath” and the rollicking pulp of “Shadows Over Innsmouth,” then turns around and casually drops absolutely idiotic racial commentary in “The Rats in the Walls” and “The Reanimator,” and it just kills the whole vibe. I won’t read his stuff in public anymore; I’d rather tell strangers about my love life than broadcast that I have one of his collections.

RE: Mewens

Really, I just want fantasy as a genre to stop digging up Tolkien’s grave. It’s tedious. I’m glad to see that the genre seems to be changing, but seriously guys, it’s been fifty years. Let the poor man go.

(But then, I was always more of an Oz kid myself, which is all about nonhumans being sapient and worthy rulers, friends, and companions. Oh and little girls being fucking badasses.)

I postulated on the connection between fantasy and reactionism in this comment. In short the use of fantasy/medieval imagery is absolutely rife in reactionaries, probably because their ideology requires a return to a “better” and “purer” age when there is clear good and evil and everyone knows where they stand. It’s why fantasy races make me uncomfortable and bored these days and I prefer human-only stories–or alternately ones with truly alien beings who are distinguished by more than cultural differences and prosthetic noses.

You’ve all heard of the Iron Dream, right? (Basically, Hilter writes a horrible fantasy novel.) I tried to read it, but couldn’t get through it–it is so disgusting, and also poorly written. But you know, narratives take up aspects of the culture that produced it. I definitely am much more emotionally fond of royalty than I am intellectually, and I blame fantasy.

(If you want a happy-making fantasy about a truly good person–who happens to be a king–I recommend The Goblin King. No, there are no humans–there are goblins, and elves, and mixed-race people, some of whom end up on elven thrones.)

I grew up with fantasy so much that I have fantasy and SF dreams.I dreamed last night that I was an older (than myself–mid-thirties, maybe) married woman who was kidnapped with my family and a bunch of strangers into this weird mansion and then our attempts to escape ended up summoning a dark-lord character whose specialties were mind control and body horror.

It was weird as fuck, and I knew I was dreaming for half of it.

So in conclusion: fantasy worlds as scary as fuck, at least when I dream about them, but I’ve also dreamed about volcano apocalypses and broken car brakes multiple times, so maybe my dreams don’t count. I have really bizarre stress dreams.
