The regulars in the Red Pill subreddit are working themselves into a little bit of a lather over a story about an angry wife who tossed her beta-bucks-providing husband out of the house after he was photographed dancing on a table with a belly dancer at a bachelor party. Adding insult to injury, this was very the same woman who, only a week earlier, had been out on the town with “a handsome French bowling instructor.”
That woman’s name? Marge Simpson, her beta-abusing, alpha-chasing ways dissected in a blog post titled “The Simpsons: Hypergamy, and Male Disposability in “Life on the Fast Lane” and “Homer’s Night Out” (1990).”
Yep. They’re getting worked up about two quarter-century old Simpsons episodes:
As the regulars see it, the Simpsons episodes offer clear proof of Red Pill wisdom.
But some of the regulars are as frustrated with Homer as they are angry at Marge. After all, Homer brought all this upon himself by not being the alpha asshole of every woman’s secret fantasies.
“Homer is beta as fuck, and Marge aimed early for BB [Beta Bucks]” writes one. “As she reaches 34 she sees her youth has gone and has a fleeting last chance for alpha.”
Another adds, I suspect only partially tongue-in-cheek:
But whatever anger the Red Pillers feel towards Marge — or frustration they feel towards Homer — is nothing compared to their fury at another Simpsons female: 8-year-old budding feminist Lisa Simpson
The one commenter who suggests that maybe putative alpha males shouldn’t really be getting this mad at a couple of Simpsons episodes from 1990 is rewarded with downvotes for his heresy.
As another fictional beta bucks provider said of the hypergamous slut who was ruining his life, “you are tearing me apart, Lisa!”
H/T – r/TheBluePill
I can only say Don’t have a cow man. HAHA go Lisa Simpson
Theory: whatever planet red-pillers live on is 25 light years from Earth, and that’s why they are only now watching 90’s Simpsons episodes and getting really mad about it.
It’s funny how close that last conversation gets to the reason why so many “SJW”s criticize media (although certainly not with this level of hyperbole) and yet they’ll never realize that the status quo is as much an ideology as any scary little girl cartoon feminism that’s keeping them up at night.
Feminists: We don’t like the way that certain characters have been portrayed in this game/movie/series *gives reasons*
Hypermasculine dudebro supreme: Wow haha dumb SJWs they get so mad over fictional characters.

Ultramasculine extreme testerone consumer: These STUPID feminists are INVADING our MEDIA, how DARE they push their so called AGENDAS in our faces like this.
Dumb Beta Cuck Loser Face: Don’t you think it’s kind of hypocritical to get angry about this you people need to MAN up with some MAN juice.
Forever Masculine in the Eyes of Roosh our lord: No shut up you stupid SJW in disguise stop stealing our sexbots
Eight years olds, dude. Tell me, Donateandfeelbetter, what cartoon eight year olds do you find desirable?
Were any of these twits even born when those episodes aired?
MRAs behaving like annoying children instead of the fictional hyper-male “alphas” they believe themselves to be? Now that’s a suprise…
I’m going to screenshot that exchange for whenever someone goes an anti-EsJayDubya rant about how “gah! they’re just *characters*!”
The OP was a troll.
My brain won’t let me think otherwise.
I try to picture someone dumb enough to post that seriously and I start to feel the smell of toast.
The 25-or-so year old cartoons they’re fixating on is interesting. In fact, this whole thing reminded me of a Jack Chick comic, but with curse words. Ole’ Jack hasn’t consumed sinful mass media since the 60’s. So anytime he tries to make a reference to it or be topical, what comes out is something from the Age of Aquarius. These guys are heading there fast!
Homer sucks at his job, he doesn’t do anything to help with the house or kids, he’s useless. Of course they would sort of defend him.
Maybe next they’ll have a go at what a misanderer baby Maggie is for shooting Burns that one time.
Oh man, that made me think of Chick’s brutal excoriation of rock music – ALL rock music – ca. 1989:

Sample quote: “My music pushes murder, drugs, free sex, suicide, to destroy country, home and education… And man… is it doing it!”
Also re: the thing about Homer as a “former astronaut” – didn’t that astronaut stuff happen well after the incident with the bowling instructor? Actually, are we sure these comments aren’t supposed to be generally tongue-in-cheek? I’d rather not click over to the subreddit myself…
If TRP has taught me anything it’s that these people aren’t that self aware.
Dudes, she’s eight.
Eight.
eight
Eight!!!
General Rule of Thumb: If you find yourself fantasizing about hitting eight year old children (even if they are fictional) and thinking of them as sexual critters (in any way) you are probably the bad guy. Not the hero, not the alpha: just a really awful person.
The seeming joy at which they bring up hitting either Marge or Lisa is really disconcerting.
First guy: Homer *is* a slacker. That’s kind of the bulk of his character. And calling him a former astronaut is a bit silly given the total absence of episode-to-episode continuity.
Third guy: the fact that you think the male cast of Jersey Shore are people others should seek to emulate is both sad and hilarious.
Third guy again, this time responding to fourth guy: do… you… hear yourself talk?
Fifth guy: you might have a point if you didn’t insist on saying things like “beta as fuck to the very core.”
Those men have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time on their hands.
And of course all the tomes Marge supports Homer no matter what don’t count because that’s her duty!
Also, there are plenty of jokes in The Simpsons about Homer and the family in general undervaluing Marge’s obviously exhausting work. Did all those just fly over their heads?
Oh, it’s the people who got the Wizard of Oz completely backwards.
Okay then.
This isn’t really that related but I thought I’d share because it’s relevant to the blog. I stumbled across the most hilarious manosphere blog yesterday called, no joke, Fellowship of the Patriarchy. It’s basically some ridiculous anti-feminist blog fighting against straw feminists on Tumblr as well as being ridiculous white supremacists. You can read about them here (note the tags at the bottom of this post):

Is it me or is it when “anti-feminists” take themselves really seriously it always becomes both amusing and cringe worthy at the same time.
In my opinion they rant about 25 year old cartoons, because they want to provoke the answer: “it`s just a character” to smash that again into “SJW”s` faces. It is true, that behind a series are ppl who make choices. And a point rarely considered is re-enactment. A popular TV show is quoted by many, many ppl. And of course, you can see with what kind of characters the ppl. around you identify. And that can get really scary. That`s why it´s good to criticize TV shows that ask for identification with sexist or racist characters.
IMO The Simpsons don´t ask for special identification with any character. So if you don´t like feminism you are allowed to dislike Lisa and Marge, and maybe you like Bart. I dislike Bart but like Lisa, so no big deal. I switch the channel, when house or drawn together is on, because the whole concept of these shows is racist and sexist. Proud SJW 😉
That’s why they’re complaining about them now. They didn’t have a change to do it then.
@ethfiel
Drawn Together? Drawn Together hasn’t been on in YEARS, what channel is still playing Drawn Together?
For science.
That rock group in the Chick tract: What lyrical geniuses.

Real men don’t switch channel just because the TV is showing some stupid shit.
Katz: It’s like Discworld dwarves singing “Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold”.
At least they have real satanic demons for stage effects.
Wow!!! Rage beyond words over a cartoon. I think the MRAs have Jumped The Shark this time.
