Fury and Furiouser: The boycott of Mad Max Fury Road is the biggest joke on the internet; manbabies declare victory

Rebel Wilson as Fat Amy: An even greater threat to manly men than Charlize Theron in Mad Max: Fury Road?
Rebel Wilson as Fat Amy: An even greater threat to manly men than Charlize Theron in Mad Max: Fury Road?

So my post on Aaron Clarey’s Return of Kings call for a boycott of Mad Max: Fury Road went a bit viral last week, garnering thousands of shares and retweets on social media and inspiring dozens of articles on sites ranging from The Mary Sue to the Guardian and even the Daily Mail, all helping to expose the manly men of the manosphere as the entitled manbabies they are, so threatened by women with power that the very thought of Charlize Theron as a badass postapocalyptic road warrior causes them to lose their collective shit.

Their “boycott” is a bit of a failure as well, to say the least. The film — which so far has garnered an impressive 98% of positive reviews according to Rotten Tomatoes — took in close to $17 million at the box office on Friday (in North America), and is expected to earn more than $40 million this weekend alone.

Admittedly, one movie did do better than Fury Road on Friday, but I somehow doubt this will be much of a consolation to Clarey and the rest of the Return of Kings crowd, given that the movie is Pitch Perfect 2, a musical comedy about an all-female a capella group whose breakout star is  — to use the parlance of the manosphere — a fat chick. The horror!

Or maybe I’m wrong, and all the Fury Road boycotters went to Pitch Perfect 2 instead.

Anyway, over at Return of Kings, site founder and rape legalization proponent Roosh Valizadeh is proclaiming victory:

Even though we were incorrectly identified as a men’s rights site, the idea that Hollywood is spreading feminist propaganda has for the first time reached the ossified brains of over one million new people this week, perhaps more. Most of these individuals will never allow themselves to accept how unnatural and phony it is to have female heroes who are as strong as men, but a few of them will encounter another movie in the future that portrays women as so comically masculine that they can’t help but remember the site with the word Kings in the title that described that very phenomenon.

Aw, fellas, can’t you see that the joke is on you?

Perhaps this song with help:

I swear, I should probably post this video every other day.

I’m reminded of a description of arguing with creationists:
“It’s like playing chess with a pigeon. They knock over the pieces, shit on the board and fly off to declare their victory to the rest of their flock.”

Sums up the manureosphere in a nutshell.

Meanwhile, Charlize Theron’s kinfolk back in South Africa live in a real-life, Mad Max post-apocalypse. Just google about the attacks on white farmers in that country. But the Social Justice Warriors in the U.S. don’t care about them, just about the pretty blonde refugee from that country who entertains them with fantasies about grrl power.

All that publicity has helped me weed out some Facebook friends. Double score!

You’re right, social justice warriors and their hypocritical movie watching behavior. We should all be more like the MRAs of the world who refuse to watch another movie until men finally achieve the state of equality they have been working so hard to achieve.

Mr Cryonicist – why do you think people don’t care about that?

I just got back from seeing the film, and I can definitely see why MRA types dislike it – it invovles women escaping from being trophies/commodities and to a new and better society. If that kind of thing disturbs you, then it might be time to re-examine your life choices.

@redneckcryonicist, I thought your shtick was that SJW’s shouldn’t care about white privileged people like Theron? Now you care about white South Africans? Your trolling is transparent.

Additionally, if even The Daily Mail thinks you’re a bit of a backward thinker, you’re really in trouble.

I think redneckcryonicist is where that term “opinion template” is coming from.

I kind of want to start an infinite number of Fury Road threads now to see if he’ll bomb every one with an identical drive-by Charlize Theron comment.

Hey, Cryonist, did you know that in Ireland, unmarried fathers have no legal right or relationship to their biological children? Even if their names are on the birth certificate? They have to apply for legal guardianship, and then keep the form naming them as their child’s legal guardian very, very safely because there’s no central registry of legal guardians and no way to get a copy of that form if it’s lost or destroyed.

But of course MRAs don’t care about that very real injustice, they’d much rather scream and shit themselves because there’s an action movie with a female lead.

I am, for some strange reason, reminded that every single thing that happened, good or bad, on the U.S. Presidential campaign trail in 2008 was somehow Good News For John McCain.

I wonder why that is.

I’d like to see them get creative and try to find an on-topic way to insert Charlize Theron or South Africa into every thread. C’mon, RNC, we know you can do it!

Everyone needs to use the phrase “Social Justice Road Warriors” as much as possible.

What about the poor white folks?

That person is living under white privilege. What about the black folk?
::hires black person::
Privileged. What about the native Americans?

Privileged. What about the poor orphan children who has cancer? Don’t they get a chance too?

And so on and so on

There is one thing I’d have loved to see in the film but did not.

I wish Max and his comrades had come across a thriving Aboriginal society in the desert who are relieved that the white people are finally gone.

That would have been great.

Hey redneck, I’m nearly redneck enough to be the queen of a double-wide trailer. It is likely that some of our ancestors owned slaves. Fuck off with your nonsense.

The number 1 movie co-stars a fat woman and the number 2 movie stars a short haired woman. Hahaha!!! It’s a manosphere nightmare.

Off topic: I’m taking a break from packing and cleaning. Moving is such a pain in the ass. The kitties are stressed. Especially Darrow. He picked a fight with Dracarys and I had to break it up.

Hey, Daryush?

My Norse and Saxon and Keltic ancestors all had screamin’ swordswomen whose ghosts are behind my shoulder right this very minute, pointing and laughing at you and saying something in their archaic dialects about men with big mouths and small penises. I don’t know about the Persians, but I’m willing to bet they had a few badass ladies too, ones who’d be equally unimpressed with your…er…OUTPUT.

OH NOES, WON’T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE WHITE PEOPLE???

Yeah, I’ll think of them. I’ll think of them as the invaders who took over a country that didn’t invite them to come, pioneered the ethnic cleansing racist concept of concentration camps (that’s right, chucky, it wasn’t a German invention!) and then went on to suppressing the black majority under apartheid until the shit hit the fan. I’ll think of them that way and not feel even a little bit sorry for doing so.

I’d love to see something in that vein, too. If not Mad Max, then maybe some other post-disaster band of ragtag roaders.

Haha! Yes! 😀 Why does every survivalist assume the white guy with the most guns is going to outlive the rest?

Also “Charlize Theron’s kinfolk back in South Africa live in a real-life, Mad Max post-apocalypse” – RNC, I would love for you to come up with a detailed account of South Africa’s complex and turbulent history since first contact with the colonialists in order to thoroughly prove your “CHECKMATE, FEMINISTS” is watertight. That’ll really show us. I’ll wait.

But nah, you’re just a drive-by troll and you’ll probably be banhammered in the next half hour anyway.
