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.
This is my new favorite.
OK, guys, here are the rules for the game:
Go to Wikipedia and hit the random article button until you get one each of:
-A person
-An institution or organization
-A philosophy, belief, or idea
-A piece of media
Then plug into this formula:
“PERSON, before s/he died, discovered that ORGANIZATION was secretly sponsoring IDEA, due to messages secretly encoded in MEDIA. Documentation will be released soon.”
It’s not my fault!
Camping’s fair game…
It is the n00bs I noscoped thrice who fanned this flame!
It’s not my fault!
Was it God’s plan
To make such pwnage so enticing to a man?
Dick King-Smith (author of Babe the Gallant Pig) discovered that Australians in Pakistan were secretly sponsoring renewable energy in Brunei, due to messages secretly encoded in the Gravediggaz single ‘Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide’. Documentation will be released soon.
Ringo Starr, before he died, discovered that Tech Skills (the internationally recognized technical training school) was secretly sponsoring Markov’s Inequality, due to messages secretly encoded in Steve Jackson’s CAR WARS. Documentation will be released soon.

Victor Hopkins, before he died, discovered that Mount Assisi Academy was secretly sponsoring Nordic Alien abductions, due to messages secretly encoded in a broadcast from KCOX radio. Documentation will be released soon.
Erhan Kartal, a Turkish footballer, before he died, discovered that the Gautam Buddha University School of Law, Justice and Governance was secretly sponsoring philandry, due to messages secretly encoded in Stern Electronics’ Dracula pinball game (1979). Documentation will be released soon.
John Crawford Crosby, before he died, discovered that the Worshipful Company of Information Technologists was secretly sponsoring quantum physics, due to messages secretly encoded in His Beard. Documentation will be released soon.
Okay, I made that part about his beard up but look at that beard:
Exultate! Jubilate! The Lord is happy that you are doing something joyful here!
And be glad that Christianity saved civilization from Greco-Roman paganism, where men devalued women and pursued hedonism recognized by the state. Ernest Hemingway’s secret suicide note was a repentance for his life of hedonism. There are also codes in the short story A Clean Well-Lighted Place, where he indicts premarital sex and the return to panganism.
huh. again:

AIDS activist Sarah Jane Salazar, before she died, discovered that the Michigan Wolverines college basketball team was secretly sponsoring trade unionism, due to messages secretly encoded in the 2012 TV series Beauty & The Beast. Documentation will be released soon.
I can readily believe that beard conceals a secret message.
@Stranded in Babylon
Here’s something for your bible study.
(IDK if it’s because I’ve been drinking and I haven’t eaten today, but this is the reason the internet was invented.)
Everything’s good news for bitcoin, eh?
I beg your fucking pardon, sir.
Allow me to introduce the GODMOTHER of Rock and Roll, Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
That’s right, Rock and Roll was invented by a black, bisexual woman, who was very religious and started singing in her gospel choir when she was four.
Boop.

I will not “convert”, no matter how hard you pray to your gods.
Abortion is not murder. It is the removal of unwanted cells.
And no one here “harasses” “dissident women”. If anything, they harass us by coming in here and raving about scented FUCKING candles and fruity drinks.
Thump your Bible harder.
BRB, going to sin by playing more games, being as licentious as I want, and not bowing and scraping to gods that are not mine simply because some rando on the internet says I should convert to make him feel good about himself for “saving my soul”. (Fuck off with your concern trolling.)
Also, going to make my sins public by recording myself and putting it up on my let’s play channel. [/shameless self promotion]
Methinks xie hasn’t read Macbeth, or xie thinks that we haven’t read Macbeth, or are willing to Google it.
A little more context:
No mentions of political feminism (there wasn’t any in Macbeth at all from what I recall), but I can see it relating to you, Stranded.
And I’m not even going to touch your myriad of conspiracy theories. You can view the world however you want to. Catholic-centric or whatever.
*cracks knuckles*
Dylan Carreiro before he died, discovered that Spiderleg Records was secretly sponsering Nonlinear optics, due to messages secretly encoded in the 1941 film Bedtime Story. Documentation will be released soon.
It’s hard to try and random an idea. 😛
(BTW, it’s super offensive. My Immortal is fucking Serendipity in comparison. You guys remember Serendipity? Loved those books.)
Yeah, that’s the weakness of the game (I kind of cheated). Alternately you can pick something off this list.
@Pandapool: Weeeeell it DOES shine a new light on the whole “eat my flesh”-thing Jesus had going on, doesn’t it?
… I’ll show myself out.
I thought Pride was a sin? One of those Seven “Deadly” sins? Taking that much rp
Doesn’t Christianity also devalue women? Sure, your god says we’re both equal (Gal 3:28), but it’s a woman’s duty, according to the Bible, to submit to her husband and never usurp his authority.
From an article that says Christian men shouldn’t date feminists (point 4 on the article):
Oh, but I could go further in that article, and point out that it says you shouldn’t marry women who don’t want to have kids, want to travel and experience things, who want to focus on their careers, who don’t pray every day, women who dress “immodestly”, women who are divorced or older, and women who don’t believe in God.
Pull the other one, Stranded, it’s got bells on it. Christianity has just as many problems with devaluing women as the Romans did.
Whoopsie. Messed up while editing. Post should read:

katz,
Bravo. You got a full on cackle out of me with that one.
Feminism is created by the illuminati overlord, Beyonce. Her music has secret codes. After she dies, she’ll be about to tell us… something something

Stranded As Handel ordered to be sung in his Messiah, Why do the nations imagine a vain thing?
For all those looking up things on wiki, remember that you have to read whole sentences.
Case in point. Handel wrote that the people imagine a vain thing — the nations “furiously rage together”. Why do the nations so furiously rage together, and why do the people imagine a vain thing?
When you’re with a group of people on the internet, keep a couple of things in mind.
1. You’re very likely to come across someone who’s performed The Messiah at least once.
2. Everybody can check your ‘quotes’.
