Bathtub orator Jordan Owen responds to critics of The Sarkeesian Effect Trailer with funny voices, mansterics

If their reaction to the widespread mockery of The Sarkeesian Effect trailer is any indication, the two biggest critics of the “critic who cannot be criticized” cannot handle much in the way of criticism. Davis Aurini, the Nazi-er of the two Sarkeesian Effect auteurs, has been blocking the critics on his Youtube channel, evidently oblivious to the ironies. Jordan Owen, the one with the hair, has been yelling into his computer and putting the results up on Youtube. (See above.)

I wouldn’t really recommend watching the entire 18-minute-plus video, in which Owen, bristling with anger, reads out his response to a two-week-old piece in the Houston Press making fun of the trailer, unless you have some sort of fetish for long-winded long-haired dudes talking in silly “Valley Girl” voicesmaking fun of the spelling of people’s names, literally screeching about the “racism and sexism” allegedly faced by white dudes, and generally making no fucking sense whatsoever (while gratuitously working the n-word into their rants).

Seriously, just watch the bits I’ve linked to in the paragraph above and you’ll have a pretty good taste of the whole thing. Or read the rather amusing (and accurate) executive summary prepared by one anti-gamergater here.

The skin, it is a bit thin, no?

Here’s the original Sarkeesian Effect Trailer.

Oh, wait, that was my version. Here’s the one by Owen and Aurini.

And in case you didn’t get that “bathtub orator” reference in the title, this will explain it.

A dictionary is a general reference about word meaning and usage, not an exhaustive description of all the different ways academics use a word in a particular field. Arguing by quoting the dictionary (or passages from other reference works like textbooks or encyclopedias) usually means you don’t understand what you’re talking about.

Creationists typically criticize a simplified presentation of evolution that’s taught in high school and beginning college. Most of them don’t interact with current peer reviewed research, so they’re not even working in the context of evaluating scientific hypotheses.

Just wondering whether there are languages where the equivalent of theory doesn’t have the two meanings and if so does what do creationists in that situation still try to use that tactic.

Calmly remind them, while sipping your prefered hot beverages that bacteria and viruses causing diseases is called “Germ Theory“. Especially if they are currently using hand sanitizer or washing their hands for some reason.

Because, you know, if germs weren’t real, then you wouldn’t need to wash your hands now, would you?

Note: It will not work if the person believes that fairies spoil milk.

I thought spoilt milk was witches?

I think I’m thinking Celtic myths rather than English ones.

I wish witches were real. I could become one.

Did you know that the witches use to anoint their brooms in this psychoactive goop that made them think they are flying?

The fumes didn’t get to them. They absorbed the drug through their vagina by mounting the broom naked.

They had THE BEST parties back then.

Yup. Psyclocybin is also thought to be behind Norse Berserker tales too.

Witches are real though. As I think I’ve mentioned before one of my neighbours claims back the tax on her cauldrons.

I mean, like, “turns people into toads with a stare” kind of witches, not, like, “occasionally brews a potion while reblogging interesting facts about mushrooms on Tumblr” kind of witches.

More Potter, less Crowley, if you will.

Like most things, it’s probably just a matter of practicing.

Worse than that – after decades of dissection of their terrible claims at the hands of skeptics, they come up with their own invented version, with made-up hypotheses unknown to real science. Check out baraminology for the very stupidest idea you will read about today, and I’m saying that as a Mammoth reader.

I Brrrrritish! comic series about a boy who does alchemy.

I can get behind that.

Also, one of my family pet names is Kirby, and it’s a really underutilized name. It was, in fact, a name my mom considered giving me but I got stuck with Kirsten instead. Well, not stuck, I like it. I also like Kirby.

Transmute the lead into silver, obvs.

Also, news about Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them!

Although, I think the concept of finding fantastic beasts would be better as a “monster of the week” series. o3o

The point of alluding to a trip to Anita Sarkeesian’s PO Box in the Sarkeesian Effect trailer, was to trip up people who think it’s pointless and ridiculous to make a trip to Sarkeesian’s PO Box? And to trip them up specifically by making them tell him he wasted his time? When he did in fact completely waste his time?

So his defense is, “I was only pretending to be stupid?”

The “kind” stuff and Noah’s Ark was always a major logical issue for any YEC theory approaching something resembling coherence. If the YEC version of microevolution is accurate, then it means radical species change can happen over a few thousand years. Ironically, that’s more “evolutionary” than anything in mainstream science.

“if mainstream concepts are “far left” from you, that tells me where you stand.”

That is not mainstream at all, its not at all mainstream to say only white people can be racist and only men can be sexist.

History Nerd: for all the bad creationist arguments in one place, see 101 Evidences, which is a RW side-by-side refutation of an attempted creationist Gish gallop.

Bit late to the party, but speaking about what a terrible human being Eli Roth is I think it’s safe to assume he is also a homophobe on top of the racism and sexism considering how much the characters in his movies uses the homophobic F-word

Nope, we’re…I mean…witches aren’t real. Nope. Not at all.

I believe that I posted a link to an article about this some time ago, but it’s always fun to bring it up. XD

It wasn’t just used by witches, but also by housewives and other people as well. The “goop” was referred to as “Witches Brew”, and it had a lot of “stereotypical” witchy ingredients in it, like mandrake root and belladonna.

It was derived from a hallucinogenic mold that grows only on rye and stuff made from rye. There’s a theory that this mold was the cause behind the Salem Witch Trials.

It should also be noted that applying the Witches Brew to the armpit was also an accepted method of using it.

The moral of the story? The only thing that surprises me more than the extent of human laziness is our pursuit of getting high.

Hallucinogenic mold that grows on grains? You mean ergot? Supposedly a lot of witch, vampire, and werewolf panics were caused by that, not just the Salem Witch Trials.

AHHHH NINTENDO ANNOUNCED A NEW ANIMAL CROSSING GAME.

And it’s apparently just decorating houses, which is like my favorite bit of Animal Crossing. You work as a member of the Happy Home Academy and decorate houses for villagers in Animal Crossing.

Let’s see if that embed works. If not, I included a link. >.>

Once again, you’re arguing with straw SJWs. Please link to the comment where somone told you that only white people can be racist, or that only men can be sexist. The point, which you are showing remarkable persistence in dodging, is about who’s on the receiving end.
