The last episode of Mad Men aired last night, but if ever something needed a Don Draper “what?” — or even an entire video full of them — the latest garbage post from garbage human beingĀ Matt Forney at garbage site Return of Kings is it.
In a post titled “Brandon Bostianās Amtrak Crash Exposes The Problems With Homosexuals In America,” Forney — Internet-infamous for his posts makingĀ “The Case Against Female Self-Esteem” and claiming that “Fat Girls Don’t Deserve to Be Loved” — suggests that the real cause of the Amtrak train crash in Philadelphia could beĀ engineerĀ Brandon Bostian’s “unchecked homosexuality.” Ā
What a shock that a woman-hating, fat-shaming shithead who recently attended a white nationalist conference would also turn out to be a raging homophobe as well. Bigotries of a feather flock together.
Linking to posts on far-right muckrakerwallower Ā journalist Chuck Johnson’s GotNews site that seem to indicate that Bostian is gay, and that he might possibly have posted dick pics to sites devoted to posting dick pics, Forney cranks up his logic engine andĀ writes that
Itās not a stretch to argue that a man obsessed with showing off his private parts to strangers might also be inclined to show off how fast he can drive a runaway train.
So wouldn’t that make Elliot Spitzer a prime suspect in the crash?
Well, no, because Spitzer isn’t gay, and in Forney’s mind the real villain here is unchecked gayness. Indeed, Forney claims,
because the left has so effectively hidden the dark side of gay culture from view, homosexuals are becoming a major threat to public health and safety.
In addition to being buttsex-having “disease vectors,” Forney charges, gay men “[l]ack … propriety and proper boundaries.” His proof? A story in the right-wing Washington Times titled “Gay couplesā children oppose same-sex marriage, tell of unpleasant upbringings.”Ā In the story, one woman claimed that
her gay father was so preoccupied with sex that when she was in high school and brought home a male classmate, both her father and his lover propositioned him for sex.Ā
Forney writes:
Imagine a straight man hitting on his sonās girlfriend. You canāt, because even a single father wouldnāt think about violating his sonās boundaries in that fashion. This is how many homosexuals act: theyāre narcissists who canāt be bothered to integrate into society yet constantly demand that straight people approve of their life choices.
Uh, dude, it’s not hard to imagine, because it happens all the fucking time — and these men often have no issue withĀ violating the boundaries of the girlfriends either. Also, you’re writing on a site catering to men obsessed with dating young women (and teenage girls) many years their junior, where the big debate is whether women “hit the wall” and become too terminally old to “bang” at 30, or 25, or even 17. (Seriously, see the comments here.)
Forney continues:
Gay marriage, typically framed as a matter of ālove,ā can easily be used to enable homosexual child molesters.
Uh, dude, I hate to break it to you, but non-gay marriage can easily be used to enable non-homosexual child molesters, too.
Oh, but Forney wants us to know that he’s no homophobe. Nope, he explains, he’s not afraid of those filthy “homos.”
The leftist tactic of smearing critics of homosexual degeneracy as āhomophobicā is completely off-base. We arenāt āafraidā of homo misbehavior, weāre disgusted by it, same as if weād stepped in a dog turd on the sidewalk. There is nothing wrong with being revolted by people who spread disease through reckless sex, who adopt children so they can abuse them sexually, and who think shoving a taser up a mummyās ass makes for a fun Friday night.
Uh, what?Ā Is there some secret brigade of gayĀ archeologists going around tasering mummies?
Getting back to that “w” word: What does any ofĀ this nonsense have to do with the train crash in Philadelphia? Your guess is as good as mine, particularly since we don’t even know what caused the crash at this point.Ā Aside from hisĀ ridiculous “argument” about the inherent recklessness of dudes who post dick pics, Forney doesn’t even bother to try to make any sort of logical argument tying Bostian’s apparent sexual preferences to the crash.
Oh, and before I forget, I should point out that Forney also seems to think thatĀ Bostian was “likely an affirmative action hire” (!?) because, before becoming a train conductor 8 years ago and then an engineer 4 years ago, he worked at Target.
Naturally, this being Return of Kings, the comments are mostly pretty horrifying. Amazingly, there are a few commenters who actually challenge Forney’s homophobia. But there are also guys likeĀ advancedatheist, who writes
I would like to see the return of social norms where gays feel shame and humility again because they face sanctions against “expressing themselves,” and where they especially have a lot of trouble finding each other to engage in their self-destructive behavior. I suppose gay men’s lives have “value” based on some kind of abstract moral reasoning. But that “value” doesn’t mean they have a right to sexual fulfillment, for the simple reason that nobody has such a right. Instead we have let gay men set the standard for this entitlement mentality that threatens to bring down civilization.
Apparently, at Return of Kings, any excuse for homophobic rants will do.
Wait – so an old man hitting on a teen (boy or girl) isn’t a problem in and of itself, it’s only a problem because the man is crossing into his son’s territory, making the teen boyfriend or girlfriend in question, only important as a piece of meat to fight over with no say of his or her own….
Gotcha.
Most sexual predators are straight men. I will never understand how anyone can be so hateful towards people that will never affect their or other people’s lives.
If only we can be that harsh on abusers, rapists, etc.
Fruitloopsie, though point of fact, straight, gay or bi men are as likely to be sexual predators as any other. The issue isn’t being gay or straight, really, but being a male raised in our culture.
@Tanya
Seems that someone has some daddy issues.
The mummy butt-taser thing may be one of the most condensed doses of WTF’ery that I’ve encountered on this site. I mean, is the mummy supposed to feel it? Is it some bizarre attempt to create a cross between Karloff’s The Mummy and Frankenstein’s monster? I just… I cannot even fathom what he’s blabbering about.
Oh, as for the site he linked to talking about adult kids upset about their parent’s sexuality…
Almost every one of those that I’ve seen invariably links back to a single Canadian woman who is utterly entrenched in her religion-based homophobia. She even cites (without naming it) utterly despeciable Mark Regnerus study, which has been so thoroughly debunked that his name is on a par with anti-vax twit Andrew Wakefield. Basically, she’s either a liar (if she knows the study is complete tripe), a fool (if she believes it’s scientifically sound) or both (it’s almost always both).
I’m not saying she wasn’t abused/neglected as a kid, or that her father’s boyfriends didn’t do creepy shit. I can’t know that, and I tend to fall on the side of the person alleging abuse, at least in terms of making sure they get the help they need. But even if she was abused, she’s allowed that abuse to twist her thinking and her compassion into a horrible thing, and it doesn’t surprise me that Forney is using an article that cites her as proof, because Forney is pond-scum.
“Uh, what? Is there some secret brigade of gay archeologists going around tasering mummies?”
“The mummy” remake takes an unexpected twist!
Someone on RotK actually says that nobody has the right to sexual fulfillment?!? The place where alphas explain to the world that the sole reason for the existence of females is for the sexual fulfillment of said alphas?
I completely understand.
Hooboy. The irony of a commenter on RoK calling out a group for “entitlement to sexual fulfillment” is rich. Isn’t the whole movement predicated on establishing mens’ untrammeled access to sex from women?
The vast majority of butt-sex-havers are straight, not gay.
LMAO @ Redpillian Manlojick (TM).
“(…) theyāre narcissists who canāt be bothered to integrate into society yet constantly demand that (…) people approve of their life choices.”
Aw, redpillian projection for the win.
“But that āvalueā doesnāt mean they have a right to sexual fulfillment, for the simple reason that nobody has such a right. Instead we have let (…) men set the standard for this entitlement mentality that threatens to bring down civilization.”
Damn right.
Just wish redpillians were able to grow some capacity for self-reflection and take their own words to heart, as they apply to them more than anyone else. Because if they were not enamored with the notion of male sexual entitlement, they’d not be redpillians.
It begins to dawn on me that I may not have read this article as closely as I could have.
I’m confused. Is the train conductor gay or not? Or is this asshole saying that gay guys make trains crash the same way that, what’s his face? Billy O’Reilly or some shit? The same way an old, white, evangelical fuckhead claims gay peeps make hurricanes and shit?
(Also, I’ve changed my name from Banana Jackie Cake because this name is fucking 100000000000000000000x better.)

Wtf does driving a train fast have to do with posting dick pics?
Its almost like this guy thinks that all other people in the world exist only in his mind so they must share all of his personal failings.
Beyond that … Just … Wtf?
I completely understand.
You’re well ahead of me in that case.
As for the “mummy ass tasering”. I think we’ve now discovered that WTF!!!! is totally inadequate for some situations. This being one of them.
@Dan kasteray: I saw someone (from the Family Research Counsel, I think) speculating that the engineer may have been running the train too fast because he was A Gay and thus “confused about his fundamental identity” (para.).
Better watch out for The Gays, they taser mummies and, even worse, they’re all leadfoots.
They have some nominal, moral value, I guess, but there’s nothing saying I can’t begrudge them it. /sarcasm
What planet is Matt Forney living on? Does he actually has the chutzpah to write articles for ROK on how “fat chicks don’t deserve love” when Forney himself is tubbier than Crisco and bald as an egg?!
Wow. I’m not gonna wish that Forney himself never find love because he’s a bald fattie – though such a curse would be a taste of his own medicine. I don’t have to, because it’s obvious that Forney’s views will keep him from experiencing love as long as he clings to them.
Falconer: Glad I could bring your attention to the shining pinnacle of the post, then. I may have to find a way to incorporate a secret society of mummy butt-taserers to some future role-playing game. And then when my players stare at me in dumbfounded shock, I shall inform them that there’s someone out there who actually seems to believe that this is a thing. And then we shall all drink heavily and weep for humanity.
Oh, manosphere logic. If a gay man puts dick pics on a dick pic site for people who wish to look at or send dick pics, it’s a sign someone is degenerate and dangerous. A straight man sends unsolicited dick pics to a woman and it’s alpha behavior and we should be flattered.
Didn’t advanced atheist troll here a couple weeks ago?
…
What?
…
Wait, that’s not some kind of elaborate joke?
…
Are we SURE it’s not a joke? Because that is a whole lot of WTF?!?, even for the manosphere.
@freemage: I had a recent pulp adventure game going that featured a weird scientist with an electricity theme, and was working up towards Egyptian adventures, so I suppose it probably would have involved cattle-prodding a dessicated tuchus or two, but not all sexy-like.
Sadly, a baby is happening to one of the players and it looks like the campaign is defunct.
So can we assume from this that Andreas Lubitz must have crashed that plane cause he was straight and straight people have a secret dark agenda? Or does that argument only work when demonising homosexuality?
These people couldn’t logic their way out of a wet paper bag.
Mummy butt taserers is a good name for a punk band.
I actually do agree that homophobia might not be the best word for anti-gay bigotry. Some people hate because they’re terrible people, not because they fear the object of their hate. Or what they fear is losing their privilege not the group they’re bigoted against.
“There is nothing wrong with being revolted by people who spread disease through reckless sex”
Anyone else think that’s rather rich considering where he’s posting this? How oblivious can they get?
