Inspired by a post on GamerGhazi highlighting some terrible MGTOW graphics, I went and took a look in the archives of MGTOW.com, and found a bunch that were even more terrible, including the one above.
Let me ease you into the terribleness, starting with some whiny, self-pitying fat-shaming:
Then let’s watch these guys attempt to reduce women to their sexuality:
Apparently they’re mad at Marilyn Monroe, for some reason?
And, in the graphic that inspired my headline, here’s some literal dehumanization:
After that bit of horribleness, let’s end on a lighter note with some of the worst graphic design you’ll ever see outside of A Voice for Men’s Meme Squad.Â
MGTOWs: Officially beyond parody.
Acting superior would make you superior. If you behave like a better person, then you’re pretty much a better person. MGTOWs probably don’t have much expertise in this area, though.
They don’t like women who enjoy sex, but they also complain about men not getting sex or any attention and “likes” from women. Much logics. Well, in their heads this apparently make sense.
Just throwing this in there for some more racism.
And I know why they’re mad at Marylin: She’s inspiring to women because she owned her sexuality in an era where it was unheard of, she worked her ass off to get where she got, and she was damn smart.
But, of course, she’s a “whore”, so MRAs don’t care about any of that.
lol the social media one is my favourite. Not my valuable, finite number of Facebook likes! They must be carefully rationed!
Whoever made that last one should go to graphic art prison for putting lime green text on a bright red background. Monster.
They keep saying they are going their own way…when do they go?
They sure spent a lot of their time on people they consider inferior and inhuman.
@magnesium: PREACH. The Graphic Design Deities weep whenever an MRA posts a meme.
OH AND IN BREAKING NEWS:
Milo and some lady called @lauren_southern on twitter were publicly removed from Amber Rose’s slutwalk event by police for holding up signs belittling rape victims.
And, as per the usual, the Moan-o-Sphere is throwing a fit, complete with Roosh, AVfM, and Breitbart weighing in and martyring themselves.
Stupidest memes I’ve ever seen, in my life. Wow!
The kinds of mess that definitely say more about the person making them than the message they’re trying to impart.
Paradoxical Intention:
As a WoC, I have absolutely no plans whatsoever to throw my lot in with men like Elam simply because I disagree on a few points of contention with White feminists. MRA’s have done even less for women like me, and we’re not dumb enough to believe, for one moment, that such men have our backs, or even the backs of Black men.
So that hearty fellow, well met, conspiratorial winking, that’s he’s engaging in, ain’t gonna work on Black women.
WoC have their own reasons for disagreeing with Feminism. We don’t need any help, from his nasty ass, on what to think about it. We can work it out for ourselves.
And the Black men who believe that are assholes who are not my problem.
I have no graphic design training or experience. I didn’t know font agony was a thing I could feel. I guess the MGTOWs really did broaden my mind to something.
Wow. They actually said that they don’t think women are human. I know they think that, but I didn’t think they’d actually come right out and say it.
And shouldn’t they be going their own way instead of making memes complaining about women (who they supposedly don’t want in their lives)? For men “going their own way,” they sure are spending a lot of time telling each other how to interact with women.
Just go. Leave us alone. We’re not interested any way.
@ikeike35
As usual, you’re right on the money.
Dude, I have a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in the subject. My agony is only offset by my titillation of their stupidity.
When will these MGTOW just go away? As far away from the rest of mankind as possible?
@Paradoxical Intention
Hmmm. So MRA’s think women of color are only involved with men of color. Got it.
There are many other issues on display, but that’s the one that jumped out at me.
Oddly, the two “Men, stop being easy” ads almost have a valid point. Actually, yes, men should NOT be relentlessly pestering every “hot babe” they see in a frantic and desperate effort to get her attention. Yes, men SHOULD have enough sense of self-worth and confidence to let women seek them out sometimes (and not resent the women who DON’T choose to seek them out), instead of relentlessly pestering women to get the attention they think those women “owe” them.
Now, if only these men could realize that women are fellow human beings and there’s more to human life and human interactions than constant transactional sex, they might actually be able to let go of their frantic insecurity and stop their desperate fruitless pestering without feeling so resentful and bitter about it.
I love how their “hot guy” is fully clothed as though he’s at work and smiling like a cheesy salesman while “hot woman” is in a minidress, at home, and making a more obvious ‘trying to be sexy’ look. And they see no difference. Only one of those people is trying to be sexy.
I’m in the OUAT fanbase, give us Colin O’Donoghue in a tank top giving one of his Hook smolders and he’ll blow the likes out of the water.
Oh.My.God. Shocking……
Uh… the first graphic suggested that women offer child support. It’s the very first thing they wrote. I’m going to guess this wasn’t their intention.
And I feel like, as someone who has had trouble even leaving the house as of late, one of the reasons being my discontent with my appearance, maybe, just maybe, if there weren’t so many people who tied a woman’s worth with her looks (like those hypocrites do, if their “memes” are a clue) more women would put effort into different things. But then they might not look as attractive to these men, and their improved intellect might hurt the MGTOWs egos.
You can’t win, can you?
Also, that last graphic is atrocious, not just the appearance, but the phrase itself. “To be superior there has to be an actual reason why” Who made this?!

How fucking condescending is that AVfM graphic? Elam knows absolutely NOTHING about capital F feminism and the many legitimate issues women who aren’t white cishet ladies have with it.
Ohhhh myyyy Goddess that last one is definitely inspired in Homer’s webpage: http://www.rowsdowr.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/homers-web-page.gif
Also, they are slut-shaming men now, huh? Like “look at girls, they are extra slutty, you want to be like that? IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT!?”
@SFHC XD I almost spit out my drink at that. Well played, Clerks.
… Okay, I knew I recognised the cyan and red font in the first one. It’s the title font from That ’70s Show.
(I know that doesn’t affect the “Quality” of the “Meme” any, but it was driving me up the wall. =P)
