MRA Dean Esmay elevates the discourse with new #SpankAFeminist hashtag, gratuitous rape references

Wow, Esmay’s on a roll. He must have a lot more time to brainstorm scintillating social commentary since they shuffled jobs at AVfM.

@sunnysombrera – What Morrizaurus said. Gawker also did a rundown of the segment (with a few quotes) here.

As a black male feminist, aren’t people most likely to be sexually assaulted by people of the same “race” as they are? Also, aren’t most rapists (in America) white? I also like that he assumes I inately think of other black people as “brothers” and “sisters”. Plus historical revisionism with sufferagettes and completely pointless anti-religious bigotry (and i’m an atheist).

@sunny – Someone said that this works outside of the US:

Ah, David, I was hoping you’d have something to say about this.

My official response remains:

John Oliver is on a roll lately. I also came across this clip where he discusses the Confederate flag being flown in SC, a Russian military theme park, and the plan to feature a woman on the $10 bill.

Be sure to watch the end for a clip of CSPAN viewers suggesting women for the $10 bill. I’m not sure how the newscaster keeps it together. You can see very tiny reactions for her, but she does a really good job keeping a straight face with some of these suggestions.

@Auntie Alias
There are ‘p’ tags around your second and third paragraph, but no opening ‘p’ tag between the opening ‘blockquote’ and your first paragraph. That’s weird, WordPress should insert ‘p’ tags correctly. How did you enter your comment? Maybe you cut/pasted a closing ‘p’ tag after your first paragraph?

As for the OP, I am flabbergasted by the mix of straw feminist arguments, metaphors which sound like fantasies, bad faith arguments, and plain nonsense. Clearly, a new landmark in PR history. Also, er, what’s this about “brothers and sisters”?

Dark Lord summoned.

Kotaku in action are having a predictably funny meltdown while simultaneously declaring victory.

Lots of choice nuggets.

This segment is months too late anyway. We’re already at the point where AAA’s can openly come here for support against SJWs, while actually using the term SJW, and nothing happens to them. The “omg harrassment hate group blah blah” narrative is dying as much as they don’t want to admit it.

So, they’re openly admitting to the goal of propping up AAAs? Such ethics in games journalism!

It’s the whole “the comments on any article about feminism justify feminism” bullshit.

To which I usually counter with “the comments on any article about fascism justify fascism”.

What?

Hijacking the top rated post to remind people: if you decide to tweet at the show, hbo or oliver himself, please be polite and civil and point out why exactly you disagree with him. It’s fun to just call someone a piece of shit and move on, but sadly it will just send the wrong message.

He’s already portrayed people on the internet as some sociopathic trolls more than once, I wish he’d also cover that even those people have done good things and helped people with donation campaignes and whatnot.

Translation: “Don’t troll and threaten HBO or Oliver even though you would be completely justified in doing so. We need to pretend we aren’t trolls and harassers. Ethics!

After scores of comments claiming Sarkeesian and Wu don’t really get harassed we have this charming comment, which has not been getting pushback.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say they do deserve every bit of it. You don’t go into the lions den with a stick and hope to come out unmauled.

In a meritocracy, when you’re an individual that not only doesn’t contribute to the whole, but actually actively does harm to it, you don’t get to stay, you get cut off.

That being said, I’m not going to actively look to do that, not that I have the means anyway. I’m a few seas apart from the fuckers. But let’s say one day I was to hear that those two ended up meeting their ends, I wouldn’t give a damn and would probably smile or even laugh my ass off if it were happened by accident. That just tells me the system called nature is working and finally their dumbassery catching up to them. If heaven forbid they get murdered, I would only help in the capture of the murderer just to stop them from doing it again and nothing else.

I know that sound incredibly heartless, but I’m sorry, I don’t make the rules, I only follow them.

He’s pretty much saying that he’s not going to kill them because it would be hard. But he sure hopes someone else kills them! And apparently it’s a rule that if you’re a woman and you speak up, you should expect to be murdered. A rule he’s helpless against!

And that’s not being pushed back on at all.

Okay. I’ll stop spamming the thread now. I think that was about as much time as I’m willing to spend on reddit for the whole week.

If I had more skills, I’d change “internet” to “reddit.”

Assuming for a moment that women really DO want to be spanked by these shitheads (they don’t, but indulge me a moment), spanking them when they do something undesirable is COMPLETELY counterproductive. Do these idiots not know how conditioning works? If you reward someone for doing things, they’ll tend to repeat that behavior. What they should be doing, since women really want to be spanked, is offer to hand out spankings when the ladies renounce feminism and take the red pill, and not a moment before then. You don’t want to reward bad behavior now, do you?

Of course, these shitheads are just covering their asses with the ‘ but she wanted it ‘ rapey bullshit, so this point is moot.

Excellent work. A few goatse links would also improve that hashtag.

Funny, I thought female butts were supposed to be this implacable steel juggernaut of oppression, crushing all the helpless men in their path. So wouldn’t spanking have about the same effect as, say, whapping the 4 World Financial Center building with a hot dog bun?
