Once again, a look at some of the comments that people try to leave here, but which for assorted reasons don’t get past the rigorous We Hunted the Mammoth screening process.
I kid; the process is not rigorous at all. You just need to pass a minimal standard of basic human decency. Here’s an assortment of comments from people who, well, fell short. In each instance, I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to guess why.
I’ll take “Protocols of the Elders of [BLANK]” for $400, Alex!
This fellow, like a lot of manospherians, seems really, really obsessed with cuckolding.
This fellow tried to post a number of comments on the same theme. This is is most succinct:
I’ll take “I don’t condone violence but you feminists totally deserve it for making jokes” for $200, Alex.
tl;dr: This guy, not really a big fan of women. (Spot the “we hunted the mammoth” for bonus points.)
You thought that last one was the worst it gets? Unfortunately not. Whoever sent this one — from a dubious IP address — is either a giant douchebag of a troll, or the next Elliot Rodger. (Please be the former.)
I’m going to just stop now. This post turned out a bit darker than I expected.
Well, That escalated quickly.
wow, that last one… does “dubious IP address” mean that it probably cannot be traced back to that person? because that person should be on a watch list…
Stars above, the horrible. So much horrible.
Wow!
The “like” is for you smacking down these people. That is freaking scary. It’s hard to believe the crap people come out with… how ___’d up do some people have to be to even think that, let alone write it? >______<
Marital rape = sanctity of marriage? Rape is SACRED?
Well, that’s one sacred cow I’m glad got slaughtered.
Jesus, aside from the anti-woman evil they really say some horrible shit to you personally, David. I wish you kittens and am grateful for your sense of humour and courage.
Also, “cuntroll” — LOL. Guess we know what’s missing from that TROLL’s life, eh? And I bet he doesn’t even understand why.
“The feminist movements have been poking at a bear with a stick while confined on a cage.” Is that the “hunted the mammoth” part? Are bears sort of like mammoths?
More importantly, is it a dangling participle or misplaced modifier?? And how can one be confined “on” a cage???
I read comments like these on WHTM and on the internet in general, and I just don’t understand where this vitriol bubbles up from because I don’t feel like I ever encounter it in the real world in daily life.
I’m a college age woman, I’ve had like 8 different majors I’ve claimed to be studying at some point, and no man I’ve talked to has ever displayed anything but a supportive attitude– sometimes to a degree I don’t understand. Old men give me speeches about how great it is that women these days make their way in the world, and warn me not to saddle myself with a useless boyfriend (ha. That would imply anyone I didn’t meet on the bus had ever asked me out).
I get catcalled sometimes, and occasionally I’ve felt like a guy was trying to “get away with something” in my presence– not as easy as it seems. But I don’t see this kind of visceral hatred in any men I know or briefly talk to. Either a large number of guys are hiding these attitudes in public, or slightly contemptuous beliefs are magnified on the consequence-free internet, or a few men are really this scary and doing all of the shouting themselves.
I just don’t know which it is. But I refuse to stop giving the average male I meet some benefit of the doubt, because life is a lot more enjoyable when you don’t feel like everyone’s your enemy.
I don’t think I could hate anything as much as those men hate women.
On the serious side, I’m glad you filter these out. That one about killing women for fun is really disturbing.
I wish someone would explain to saintlugar that feminism is actually in favour of women working for themselves and not relying on men for support. In fact could someone please explain that to all the manospherians who simultaneously dismiss women as parasites while demanding we eschew education and employment.
‘put your whore ass where your whore mouths are’? well that just sounds really unhygenic
I wonder what he’s got against the Ukraine? Maybe he bought Roosh’s book but still didn’t have any luck over there?
That last comment sounds like a really desperate bit of trolling. Still scary though.
And what the everfucking fuck is up with all the Sex and the City obsession? Don’t these buffoons know that the show is (a) long over and gone, (b) fiction, and (c) something most women, American or otherwise, roll their eyes at for its blatant unrealism? Or is that show the closest that any of them ever get to women…or sex? (I bet that’s it. Man, that’s PATHETIC.)
Wow. Sadly, I’m not terribly surprised. This is exactly why I call them bigots and supremacists. It’s a good idea to document what they say, too.
FYI proxy IPs can be investigated. If someone uses a proxy to commit a crime (this case being terroristic threats), the authorities can subpeona the server for the originating IP.
Aw, look at saintluger, railing on from behind the moderation wall. Saying pretty much the same thing he said in the comment that got him banned, only with a few more dumb flourishes for good measure (cuntroll, UKRAINIAN WOMEN HAVE BEEN RUINED!!!). Hateful and one-note, what a winning combination.
I think saintluger did manage to get a couple posts through the filter once, but it was such victim blaming shit (on the thread about the murdered feminist college student, no less) that it was deleted quickly. He’s another misogynist asshole I’d like to see emigrating to a distant unoccupied island. Preferably one with lots of spiders.
@theluckyfrog – Yes, I’m glad I haven’t had to deal with too much garbage like this in real life.
I wouldn’t be too discouraged – these aren’t the majority of people – but still.
Although, in terms of verbal yuckiness, some people say stuff like this casually. (TW for mention of sexual assault) Once I was walking home from the library and two teenage boys were talking. One said to the other, “What do you want to do today?” (It was a Saturday) and the other said, “Oh, I know. Let’s rape somebody!” and then they looked at me and started laughing.
I was angry but I didn’t say anything. Either the “joke” was “Haha, rape” or “Haha, you are not good looking, but also rape” and it was sort of a shocking thing to come out of a weekend stroll to the library. I mean, I’ve made some cruel comments I regret, but not to strangers in public like that.
And then when I went home and told my dad he said, “Oh, they probably didn’t mean it.” I KNOW THEY DIDN’T. But that doesn’t make it good, does it?
I second that.
This blog has given me back some faith that human decency exists after all.

The cynical part of me wonders how many more dudes feel the same way that last poster does and only know better to pretend otherwise when they spew their venom. Hopefully it’s just impotent venting.
Also OT, but I had to share this short exchange I just had with a Youtuber under a video discussing Japan’s shrinking population crisis. Full acknowledgement that I did willfully invite this fuckery upon myself.
Youtuber: white middle class america is facing the same exact issue
Me: I see. Well I’m a white unmarried 30 yr old with no plans to have children and who couldn’t be happier working as an artist. What should my punishment be?
Youtuber: mandatory psych evaluation
Yeah. I should probably keep engagement with these people to a minimum.
“Mandatory psych evaluation”? For being happy, content, and doing what you love? Wow.
RE: Bina
Marital rape = sanctity of marriage? Rape is SACRED?
I know, right? That’s what I was thinking. Rape is many things, but ‘sacred’ ain’t one of them.
RE: epitome of incomprehensibility
And how can one be confined “on” a cage???
Well, it’s an IMAGINARY cage. Dude says so himself. So you know. One can TOTALLY be confined on an IMAGINARY cage.
some people say stuff like this casually.
Yup. Our brother’s friend once joked about how if a girl was old enough to bleed, she was old enough to fuck. I also had the extremely uncomfortable experience of having two gay men I knew talk about the amazing tits a fourteen-year-old had. D:
RE: theluckyfrog
Either a large number of guys are hiding these attitudes in public, or slightly contemptuous beliefs are magnified on the consequence-free internet, or a few men are really this scary and doing all of the shouting themselves.
Honestly, I think it’s a combo of the second and third, myself. On the internet, people are used to being able to say whatever they want, which makes it really easy to be a massive asshole without consequence. I think most trolls are serial offenders.
Well, for being content whilst squandering away my SUPERIOR white genes apparently.
@sunnysombrera
I lolled.
Seriously, though–spiders are our friends. Spiders don’t need that shit.
On the other hand, a distant land full of spiderwomen might be perfect…
Manospherians logic
“It’s ok to make jokes, send threats, advocate for oppression, kill, beat up and rape women but don’t make jokes about us that’s MISANDRY and makes you feminazis”
and
“feminists are man haters. ::seconds later:: I like to make fun of men who are fat, ugly, virgin, has cats, and/or have been beaten up and/or raped by women”
I don’t know about you guys but I would like to “cuntroll” the world
