Well, you have to admire their ingenuity, I guess: The terrible people at the lady-hating megasite Return of Kings have figured out a way to blame feminism for … revenge porn.
No, really. Here’s the argument, such as it is, from regular RoK contributor Mark Webster:
What we are seeing with so called ”revenge porn” is an example of the disturbing but inevitable consequences of the first generation of women who, brainwashed by feminist propaganda, truly believe they can do no wrong, and that there are no consequences for their actions. …
Like so many other modern social problems, feminism is definitely to blame for “revenge porn.” This warped ideology has always irresponsibly promoted the delusional idea that women have all the same rights as men, but without responsibilities or consequences for their actions.
They were the ones who encouraged a life of reckless hedonism and narcissism for young women, with no thought for their futures. They were the ones who spun the gross lie that being pumped and dumped by men who couldn’t care less about them is “empowering.”
Webster pauses for a moment to reflect on the possible culpability of the ex-boyfriends who, you know, actually posted these pictures online as a form of petty revenge, but figures that, since the women chose to go out with these guys, it’s really still the women’s fault anyway.
Now admittedly putting them on the web for the whole world to see is a pretty low act, but they don’t call them bad boys for nothing. You can bet your bottom dollar these are the guys who are far more likely to receive and distribute “sexts” than the nice guys forever languishing in the friend zone.
Lovely.
Webster is right about one thing, though: the proliferation of revenge porn is very definitely related to the issue of consequences. That is, the almost complete lack of consequences faced by the dirtball guys who post these sometimes stolen, sometimes gifted pics online without permission.
But that has started to change. Let’s hope the 18-year-sentence meted out to revenge porn kingpin Kevin Bollaert — who combined internet-age skeeviness with some old-fashioned extortion — is a sign of things to come.
The readers of RoK have some rather different ideas about possible “solutions” to revenge porn.
(If you’re having a decent day, or would simply rather not read puerile fantasies about domestic violence and suicide, you may just want to stop reading here.)
As Black Poison Soul sees it, any woman who takes nude pics of herself should face these “consequences.”
1/ tattoo the word “slut” on her face
2/ put her into the local sluttery (aka free whorehouse)
3/ problem solvedPlus it semi-forces the red pill down men’s throats. I would think it’s hard to validate some whore when you constantly see “slut” every time you look at her face. Even if you’re a blue-pill white-knighting mangina enabler.
Remember. There is always a loser in the game of musical cocks.
Idonggor thinks the problem would be solved if American men were more willing to, well, punch “their” women.
As much as I dislike feminist bull dykes and other self entitled cunts, I also equally blame American men for acting like faggots. I hear many times even from so called “red pill” men that hitting women is wrong.
With that kind of mentality, you are bound to get a chick who will act out of her line.
In the Middle East and certain parts of Russia (where it is ruled by ALPHA MEN), girls would not dare to act like spoiled Americunts. Why?
Because they are scared of their men.
You need to get your women to be scared of you guys…. Have her fear you.
I used to feel sorry for American men for getting all the shit but you guys pretty much deserve it.
If you act like coward faggots, you are doomed to get your women acting like cunts.
BlueSkyGreyWolf, meanwhile, suggests that women who have their pics posted on the internet without their permission just kill themselves.
If the stupid cunts are so guilt ridden ain’t nothing stopping them from killing themselves. In fact, the more worthless female parasites who off themselves, the better off the woorld will be.
Something must be terribly wrong with the “red pills” these guys are taking; they seem to be turning everyone who pops one into literally the worst human beings on planet Earth.
He is a great RPG villian so far though
You’re getting weaker on us, Stranded. You’re starting to not be fun anymore.
Oh hell no.
You know what’s really sinful, bub? That ol’ Janx Spirit that you’re obviously full of to your tinfoil gills. It’s got you making shit up as you go along, and not terribly interesting shit, either.
Meh. You’ve become too fanciful. For trolling to be effective, it has to be believable. You need to take a break and rethink your technique.

They really were! In original Wasteland, there was no distinction between clickable and non-clickable: Every tile in the environment was interactible. If there was a wall, you could climb it or break through it anywhere you wanted, even if there was no reason to. You just don’t get that level of environmental interaction anymore.
This is what happens when you mix alcohol with an hallucinogenic. I’ll bet you laughed your ass of when you read it back to yourself, but in the morning you’ll be embarrassed. You’ll realized that all you did was babble on.
@Falconer
They may have been shorter but modern RPGs are padded with a lot of sidequests (FETCH quests, particularly) and traveling. Plus achivements and game+ content, too. The main mission in many modern RPGs aren’t more than 6-10 quests and don’t take too long to finish, as long as they aren’t ALSO padded, like when you have to travel a long distance to get to the next part of the quest.
@katz
I wouldn’t mind seeing a modern RPG that focused less on graphics and more on an interactive and “boundaryless” world. I would really like to see a an RPG series like Dragon Age or Mass Effect do something like that. I’m sure if they worried less about the graphics, instead going for a less-intense style, they could really fit a lot of stuff in, like real consequences where your decisions can REALLY change the path of the story instead of just switching a few people around, ya know? And keeping characters dead, too.
@Babylon
Don’t you have to go toss Jesus’ salad or something? I’d hate to hear your take on Diablo.
John Milton predicted Diablo; it is encoded in Paradise Lost, Book 10; he did not want people to glorify Satan. I can’t be bothered to look up what the game Diablo is actually about but even the title is glorifying Satan. The powers that be know this. Gamergate was also sponsored by Hillary Clinton to distract us all from real issues so please be aware of that.
Maybe don’t call things sinful for mentioning non-abrahamic deities and then bring up Mozart as your goodguy. I seem to recall Mozart composed an opera called “Apollo et Hyacinthus”.
Also, isn”t “thursday” named after a norse god? You gonna stop doing thursdays?
Yes, Thursday should be changed to Abrahamsday. Mozart was only writing that so he could trick the powers that be into giving him money. Now all the people care about is rap music; all rap artists are tools of the military/industry/deathculture complex except for Insane Clown Posse; I believe I can convert the Jugalo movement to my way of thinking and serve as a puppet to a Juggalo politician who will run and win the US presidency.

All days are named after Norse gods expect for Monday (Moon’s Day), Sunday (Sun’s Day) and Saturday (Saturn’s Day). Tuesday is Tyr’s Day, Wednesday is Wodin’s Day (aka Odin), Thursday is Thor’s Day, Friday is Frigga’s Day,
Sorry, Spindrift, I didn’t edit that…at all.
All days are named after Norse gods accept for Monday (Moon’s Day), Sunday (Sun’s Day) and Saturday (Saturn’s Day). Tuesday is Tyr’s Day, Wednesday is Wodin’s Day (aka Odin), Thursday is Thor’s Day and Friday is Frigga’s Day.
Fuuuck wrong expect. *facepalm*

Tolkien also talks about these issues; Mordor was the home of many bad ideas like bodily autonomy. Star Wars and Star Trek are sinful though.

Bodily autonomy is a bad idea, huh? Mind if we harvest you for organs, then? That would take care of that bodily autonomy god apparently hates even though he gave people free will.
Let’s try this again.

This trolling is just too blatant, getting rather dull.
For me, the main thing is interactivity even when there’s no “point” to it. That’s what’s so great about tabletop RPGs: You can muck around wherever you want and the world will respond to you, even if you’re not doing something plot-related. But modern RPGs have grown more and more railroady.
@katz
Like knocking stuff off shelves for the lolz and hearing people be like, “HEY! CUT IT OUT!” 😛
But, like, bigger.
I concur. Either zie’s drunk-posting or zie’s one of those people who thinks they’re cleverly manipulating you by posting random shit and then watching you respond to it in good faith (on the assumption, I suppose, that anyone who doesn’t assume everyone else is bullshitting them all the time is of weaker moral fiber). Ignore!
Off-topic: Have any of you watched the Netflix show Residue? Because I just did and I am now FURIOUS that there are only three episodes.
Did anyone guess Pro Patria Truthteller for the troll? That’s who it is; he had various other pseudonyms after that one.I can ban him again if you all think he’s gotten boring.
