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!”

There are quite a few banned symbols in Germany.
I’m currently involved in setting up a company to do some work in Norway.We also plan to operate in NW Europe generally. We found an old Norse symbol that we liked, and it tied in with a Viking theme we’re aiming for.
Unfortunately because it has also been adopted by some neo nazi groups it’s prohibited in Germany. Luckily we found that out before we had the stationary printed!
… Frank Grimes?
That’s old Grimey for you. 🙂
Yes. Hell, it doesn’t even have to be their own achievements (as seen in “I am smarter than any woman because a bunch of unrelated men won Nobel Prizes” logic).
An 8 years old is rated as undesirable because she is too outspoken, uppity and a feminist?

Symbols of the Nazi party are allowed in Germany only in a historical or documentary/educational context, and not entertainment – I don’t have a full understanding of where the line is drawn, but things like Wolfenstein 3D where you’re running around swastika-shaped castles on your way to destroying Mecha-Hitler were not deemed sufficiently historically accurate.
On top of that, until recently, games in Germany were very heavily altered to remove violent content – I remember playing Command and Conquer there and all the human soldiers had been replaced by robot “Androidentrooper” units. I’m not sure if this heavy scrutiny on game content is to do with the world wars or if it’s a separate cultural thing.
Just looked up this video of Command and Conquer Generals, where they got around the rules by making everybody look like Kryten from Red Dwarf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRMqonctTtQ

I am so glad I’m not the only one who had that exact thought reading Hobbes’ comment. I’m going to assume from now on that Hobbes is actually a crash test dummy.
This is just sad 🙁 My god how the (not-so) mighty have fallen.
There was Frank Grimes going ballistic over Homer’s “achievements”, and Homer did go to his funeral and feel remorse for him, even though I’m not quite sure he understood why Frank did what he did.
Though, let’s face it, Grimes had a hell of a lot of other people to blame for his lot in life, including Mr. Burns who forgot about him becoming executive vice-president the moment he saw a heroic dog and gave the dog the position instead. Homer was just kind of the straw that broke the camel’s back.
And there was that episode where Frank’s son came to exact revenge, but that didn’t pan out either, and we haven’t seen him since.
So, I don’t know if I could call these “consequences” for Homer’s actions.
Oh heaven’s no. xD Just jokingly suspecting Anarchonist of being a sock for Grimes (since the comment very closely echoes his rants about Homer).
“This is what I expect to hear from SJWs”? Uh, dude…we SJWs aren’t the ones who have trouble distinguishing cartoon children from grown-up, real-life WOMEN. That would be you social-injustice couch potatoes.

Heh, I was kinda thinking of ol’ Grimey when I typed most of that. After all, the character of Frank Grimes and the episode he appeared in were specifically created to illustrate the fact that in a just world (or a fictional universe where the point was to offer the viewer good life advice, which the Simpsons sure ain’t), Homer should not be doing as well as he does. Which was sort of my point, so me appearing to channel Grimes is very appropriate.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the Simpsons (well, not the more recent seasons). My point was that if you take away something from the show, you’d have to be dense enough to warp space and time in order to choose “Homer is being treated unfairly!”
Poor friendlysociopathic, the lone voice of …reason?
Answer to Lisa: cause magic is AWESOME!!!1
Siriusly though, stuff like this makes wanna rewatch The Simpsons (or probably rather Futurama, they’re from the same producer, have occasionally some crossovers and I love good sci-fi).
Not sure which is worse. That he is upset that a yellow, spiky-headed cartoon EIGHT year old is not pretty enough to fuck, or that he might consider any of the other Simpsons characters fuckable?
Antifeminists/anti-“SJW”s: it makes perfect sense to avoid something being shoved in your face repeatedly!
Me, having gotten shit from their type for avoiding episodes/shows with sexist, heteronormative/heterosexist, transphobic, ableist content solely on that basis: does it now. does it rEALLY. DOES IT
Also she’s an eight-year-old cartoon girl with bright yellow skin and hair and four fingers on each hand. She should be “undesirable.”
