MRA JudgyBitch: Give me money for a crossbow so I can shoot feminists in the face!

Janet Bloomfield — the slur-spewing A Voice for Men “social media director” better known as JudgyBitch — has launched a rather unique fundraiser on Patreon: In addition to funds to spend on better videomaking equipment, she’s asking her supporters to send her $800 for a crossbow so she can “shoot the feminists in the face.”

JB isn’t joking; she’s an avid bowhunter, and she has her crossbow all picked out. 

Of course JB claims that the weapon will only be used in self-defense, in case some angry feminist shows up at her door with an axe or something. But in the video above, posted to her Patreon page, she describes her fantasy of using it to maim or kill a feminist in detail, and with great relish.

She starts waxing poetic about what she calls the “angel of death crossbow” at 8:32 in the video above. Here are some of the highlights.

In this first clip, she describes what she would do to any “little brave feminist” who showed up at her door unarmed but seeking a confrontation.

The tl;dr? She would shoot them in the gut with her crossbow, dead center, in an attempt to sever their spine and leave them paralyzed. “You’re gonna drop,” she says, “and you’re never getting back up again.”

As for those who show up at her door with “a hammer, an axe, a knife, a gun” or other weapon, she promises to shoot them dead without warning. “I would love to do it with that beautiful angel of death crossbow,” she says, with a certain manic glee. “Let’s buy Janet a crossbow so she can shoot the feminists in the face!”

MRAs, male and female, seem to spend an awful lot of time and energy fantasizing about doing great harm to their opponents. But this is the first time I’ve seen one actually set up a Patreon fundraiser so they can buy a deadly weapon.

@samantha, JB’s couching all her threats with insisting it’ll only be about self defense. Since it’s highly unlikely any feminist will bother approaching her house, her threats are empty. I don’t believe for a moment that she will go out on a murder spree, she’s stupid and bigoted, but not evil like Peter Nolan.

You are probably correct, snorkmaiden, but I wonder what would have happened if people had reported things like Elliot Rodgers nasty little manifesto BEFORE he had gone out to shoot up a bunch of innocents. While she is not, at present and as far as I know, as violent
and angry as Mr. Rodger apparently was, I am concerned that the level of hate she spews could find its way into more physical expression.

Sigh. I am SOOOOOO tired of all the evil and hate being directed at people for simply being who and what they are. You do not even have to say or do anything hurtful. All you have to do is live as a woman/dark skinned person/member of a religion/LGBT and any number of other things and the hateful come out of the woodwork in droves. I would give anything for another planet to move to…leave these guys behind…or send THEM to it and take back our lovely Earth…

To anyone interested, I reported the Patreon and this is what I wrote in the evidence box – I went through and got the times so if you want to copypaste any of this feel free:

“The video on her page includes threats to shoot “feminists or sjws” in the gut (13:48) and in the face without warning, (14:20) including graphic descriptions about how this would lead to severe injury or death – “You’re gonna drop, and you’re never getting back up again” (14:08) and “That bolt is gonna go right through your soft palate directly into your brainstem. It’s not survivable. You’ll be dead.” (14:34) She also states how much she would love to shoot people – “I would love to do it with that beautiful angel of death crossbow. Let’s buy Janet a crossbow so she can shoot a feminist in the face!” (14:53)

This violates your term 7. Public Areas, points 1 (Defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate the legal rights (such as, but not limited to, rights of privacy and publicity) of others.) and 17. (Upload content that is offensive and/or harmful, including, but not limited to, content that advocates, endorses, condones or promotes racism, bigotry, hatred or physical harm of any kind against any individual or group of individuals.) by both threatening and advocating physical harm towards a group of individuals.

Further to this, the one goal in the users sidebar is not to create content or help her in creating content but to buy her this crossbow which she states herself she does not need (video 10:35) which makes her one visible, solid goal that of acquiring something with which she has threatened to cause a great deal of physical harm to people.”

Bear in mind her real name isn’t Janet Bloomfield, so only people who are privy to her true identity can contact the police. I’m not sure it’s necessary, getting her patreon taken down would be pretty effective.

@Samantha, I just don’t see JB pulling a massacre. She’s been around quite a while now, and she’s all talk. Unpleasant talk, but I think of her as a cut price shock jock rather than as a pressure cooker getting ready to blow. Murder/suicide types usually spout loads of nihilism and hopelessness before they go out and hurt people, but when Judgy talks about herself it’s to brag about how good she has it and she has all these pretensions to be a writer and broadcaster.

Not that there aren’t dangerous women on the internet, but I don’t think she’s one of them.

Are you people seriously organizing to dox Janet Bloomfield and send the police to harass her?

That’s pretty unhinged.

Everything Bloomfield said about using violence was in the context of defending herself or her family against a violent attack by an intruder in her home.

She is allowed to say that she will defend herself against a violent intruder. She’s even allowed to do it if attacked. There is absolutely nothing here that justifies crossing the moral line into doxing and personal harassment.

Depending on what you Brave Heroes say when calling the police, you could end up swatting her. That can create a truly dangerous situation where there was none before.

What you are doing here in the comments is morally repellant and dangerous. And let’s be honest about why you are doing it. You don’t actually believe that anyone is in imminent danger. You just want to use the police to harass someone you don’t like.

STOP.

IMO JB is doing this to be provocative, simple as. I know that no one can be absolutely sure, but I really believe that she is not a genuine physical threat. I think that she has many violent fantasies, and for these to be directed at feminists is more than a bit rich, seeing as how (as far as I am aware) she has never actually been physically hurt or even threatened by any feminist ever.

As someone else said – if Jessica Valenti or Anita Sarkeesian said they wanted to shoot MRA’s in the face with a crossbow, AT LEAST we would understand why they felt threatened to that point of reaction. What has JB got – NOTHING.

John Pavlich (@johnpavlich)

….really don’t need the extra indignity of being compared to MRAs….Don’t participate in pile-ons. If several people have already made the point you want to make, there’s really no need to add another comment to the pile. These sorts of pile-ons can and often do derail more interesting conversations.

I’m especially glad to see these two elements added to the new comment policy. I think they will do a lot of good and help prevent potential, future derailments and flame wars.

See, this is the kinda troll we used to get. Not very entertaining, but better than the recent stuff.

@Had To Be Said

Nope! We’re not going looking for her real identity or posting her personal information. Her Patreon is public and against the terms of service. And bloody, violent threats to shoot even nonviolent feminists in gruesome ways if they show up are a *bit* illegal, you know? Like threatening (unsarcastically) to shoot Jehovah’s Witnesses, except with less provocation.

Former archer here: why would she want a crossbow? If she’s a bowhunter, as she claims, then compound bows are preferred for their speed and accuracy. Methinks she’s all talk and looking for attention from her ‘fans’, and indulging in violent fantasies to get it.

GrumpyOldSocialJusticeMangina

@Had To Be Dead Between the Ears: No, we won’t buy that shit. Go peddle that somewhere else.

She is using an imagined attack against her to spew hatred against the imaginary attackers and to scam some money off the other haters that read her crap. She is smart enough to couch the mayhem she fantasizes about committing in a self-defense paradigm, but unless you are in fact totally dense you’d see that her violent response is the important part of her comments and not the imaginary attack she uses as an excuse.

@Had To Be Said

No we are not, nor would calling those numbers result in a swatting. They are non-emergency numbers because as others (and I) have noted, she hasn’t actually committed a crime. We don’t know her name, nor where she lives. No one has requested or offered an address or number.

@snork
I agree that JB seems highly unlikely to actually go on a killing spree. Since she got booted from Twitter everything she’s done has reeked of a desperate cry for attention, and I don’t think this is different. THAT SAID, seeing as MRAs are, well, pretty bad at grasping reality, is there a chance she may shoot a woman at her door thinking she’s a feminist enemy, when actually the woman just wanted to ask for directions? (And also seconding whoever said that we didn’t think Rodger would do what he did until it was too late).

I agree with marinerachel and I think it would be good to have a comment policy that 1 person gets to gently call out an ableist language (maybe by linking o the comment policy) and then everyone else moves on and talks about the topic of the thread. Further comments oughta be moderated, imo.

For all the claims of “we don’t dogpile”, if you go back and read the first page of comments (that’s 70 comments), two had ableist language in them, and around a dozen comments were about them. There were maybe 20 or so comments addressing ableism at least in part before marinerachel said what she said. That was about 1/5th of the entire conversation.

A response to 2 comments. Neither commenter returned or “doubled down”.

You guys, that’s a dogpile.

This has been going on in these comment threads for a long, long time. Clearly our current method of having a comment policy and then discussing the crap out of it in every thread isn’t working. Let’s try something else. I propose one rebuttal link to the comment policy and then moderate the rest, unless the topic of the thread is ableism.

Is Had To Be Said gasllighting? Because I have read most of the comments and certainly did not get any sense that anyone was suggesting doxxing or harassment.
The terms JB has used to describe this ‘self defence’ are salacious and gleeful. You cannot help but interpret it as something that she REALLY wants to get the opportunity to do. What she fails to recognise is that IRL she is much more likely to need to defend herself from a male partner, than a random ‘feminist’.

@Deniseeliza: I know what you mean, and I can still remember a couple of times in which I myself was dogpiled, and in my case, I didn’t even say *anything* that was really objectionable. So, yeah, this is definitely a problem on here that needs to be addressed: I have no issues with discussion of, and respectfully pointing out mistakes, when it’s needed(like what appears to have happened here). But all too often, even the slightest misunderstanding over the most innocuous things can lead to some pretty nasty accusations, etc. being slung around(which is the main reason why I stopped commenting for a long while)…..and we’re supposed to try to be above that. But, from what I’ve read from prior posts, it sounds like Dave is finally getting around to trying to fix some of these issues, so I will definitely applaud him for that.

Back to the topic at hand, although J.B.’s little fundraiser honestly smells more like trolling than anything, I do have to wonder if there may be something deeper and more sinister going on; given just how hate-filled many Mansopherians are…..I wouldn’t be surprised one bit.

@Samantha: Well, I can’t say I’d ignore that possibility, either.

@R. Cawkwell: You might be right, perhaps. Still, though, this does give us reason to be somewhat concerned, nonetheless.

Why is it a dogpile when two or three of us accidentally ninja eachother in pointing out an ableist comment, but not a dogpile when half a dozen lurkers and new posters pop out of the woodwork like the bloody Bat Signal went off to accuse us of dogpiling/accuse us of being a clique/tone-police us?

NothingClever

Yeah, it’s mostly the nasty accusations that really bother me. Dogpiling does happen. I’ve never been dogpiled before, but the possibility has kept me from speaking up on behalf of certain commenters, like the rape survivor who was accused of being a “rape cheerleader” because he advocated learning self-defense as a means of preventing assault. Not saying he wasn’t being an asshole, but to be called a “rape apologist” when he admitted to some pretty horrible experiences just made me feel really icky all day.

Is Had To Be Said gasllighting? Because I have read most of the comments and certainly did not get any sense that anyone was suggesting doxxing or harassment.

Calling the police to report her has been mentioned several times, and one commenter was generous enough remind everyone that Bloomfield is a pseudonym.

Here is how it developed in this thread. These are in order:

“Go the fuck to jail, you horrible excuse for a human being.”

“They are terrorists. It is as simple as that. The police need to get involved and they need to be detained indefinitely, until such time as they can prove they are no a danger to others.”

Anybody who lives in the same country as her called the police yet? If not someone probably should.

With any luck, the police might take an interest in her bid to crowd-fund a murder weapon, but I’m not holding out hope.”

Does anyone have an idea what province she’s in? The local police should be pointed to it as well.”

“Sooo…Why has no one, to my knowledge, called the FBI on her???? This seems to be a real threat to cause bodily harm and/or death to innocent women.”

I want to know where she lives. I would, indeed, call the authorities on ANYONE who makes threats like that.”

“Numbers to call to report this to the police;

Ontario Provincial Police
1-888-310-

Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Ontario
1-519-640- or 1-613-993- (General inquires but they should be able to direct you appropriately)

Toronto Police (not sure if she’s actually there but just in case)
1-416-808-

Toronto Police”

“Bear in mind her real name isn’t Janet Bloomfield, so only people who are privy to her true identity can contact the police.

At the same time that everyone here discusses whether it is within the comment rules to call someone “crazy,” suggestions to discover a person’s physical location and use the police against an ideological opponent just skate by.

Is there a word for that?

dudeinthewoods,

Are you seriously defending calling the police as a legitimate tactic at all? Do you think your perspective might be a wee bit warped by your ideological opposition to Bloomfield?

It would be every bit as legitimate for some MRA to call the police or report We Hunted The Mammoth to the site’s host for the doxxing-adjacent language and encouragement to harass here on this thread.

Which it to say, not legitimate at all. The police do not exist to be used against people who disagree with you about feminism on the internet. Get a grip.
