We’ve been treated, over the years, to endless misogynist manifestos declaring that nerdy hobbies like comic books and video games should be kept free from pesky females, for all sorts of ridiculous reasons that usually come back to some allegedly innate characteristics of males and females that show that only men can appreciate said hobbies and that all of the women who claim to like them are only pretending, because really what they want is endless attention from nerdy dudes.
I recently ran across one of these manifestos in the Men Going Their Own Way subreddit. While it was full of the same tired old BIOTRUTHS as most “male space” manifestos — only dudes “are wired to be adept at tasks with inanimate objects,” only dudes have the necessary “diligence” to be true fans — this manifesto offered another powerful(ly dumb) anti-nerd-girl argument I don’t think I’ve encountered before: Nerd girls should be kept out of male hobbies because they’re a bunch of icky uggoes, “sub-4 at best.”
Let’s let the somewhat ironically named NuclearTruthBomb explain this particular “truth.”
The simple fact of the matter is that most women are not, and never will be, into the activities of low-status, but intelligent males. Yes, a few exist. My sister loves drawing, animation, and even video games. But she’s also on the upper end of the autism spectrum, and pretty unattractive.
Dude, really? She’s your SISTER.
Women have status simply by existing. There is only a very small number of girls who are so hideous, no man will show interest in them.
Empathy, not a big thing amongst MGTOWs.
Being a nerd if often considered a sign of low status. Trust me, none of us got laid for being on the chess team. Because women are so concerned about appearences, they will refuse to associate with nerds by default.
So that means, natch, that the only “females” who want to have anything to do with male nerds will be the ugly uggoes.
Male nerds tend to range from perfectly average to the bottom of the barrel. Female nerds however, are sub-4 at best, genetically cursed at worst. They were rejected by the popular girls a long time ago, and will wear a shirt that screams YAOI FAN for a modicum of attention.
These discrepancies cause female geeks to be not only low in number, but of poor quality in general.
And now a cameo appearance by Chad Thundercock, or at least his brothers Brad, Joe, and Darren Thundercock, as well as their cousin Bill BigDick and his friend Tyrone.
Ironically, while women will forever flock to the sports stadium of Brads and Joes, nerds will spell the future for the human race. The guy who gets shoved in the mud by Bill BigDick this decade will be inventing the technology of the next one. The quirky glasses wearing freak will create that game Darren plays after Daisy gives him a rimjob. And all those countless code monkeys will be responsible for the social media websites she meets Tyrone on.
To do list:
- Shove nerd in mud
- Rimjob w/ Daisy
- Vidya Games
Only when these nerdy dudes get super rich will the hotties have any interest in them.
Once she realizes that these men are making bank, she’ll try to swing branches. And many simpanzees will takeher anyways. Us on the other hand, can enjoy our own specific tastes without worrying “Buh-buh-buh, what would Sally think of this!?”
MGTOWs have turned “stewing in your own bitterness about women possibly giving other dudes rimjobs” into America’s fastest-growing hobby. This is a male space no one should want to invade.
Huh. So, Roger Ebert engaged in film criticism in hopes of getting movies banned? And, when someone like Henry Louis Gates engages in literary criticism, he wants books to be banned?
@SFHC
I’m going to go do this and completely forget about the guy who needed to be told what a paragraph was, about twelve times.
You know they still had paragraph breaks between subjects, right? And proper formatting? And grammar? Your writing ain’t periodical quality, bub.
I’m struggling to work out of Humdrum’s compete ignorance about the purpose of art criticism just reflects a lack of education about the subject or if it’s a kind of projection – the attitude that since “I” don’t believe anything should exist that “I” don’t like, everyone else must react in the same way and criticism can only be viewed in that light.
@ humbug
I love old books. I also have to read them occasionally for work. It’s surprising how good the formatting is on some of the early ones. I actually prefer some eighteenth century books because they make better use of different fonts than we do today.
But even the blockiest encyclopaedias use paragraph indents (as we were taught to do at school; is that still the case?)
So, huh, trolly, not to tone-police you or anything… but, y’know, that smug arrogance thing you’re doing ? That only works when people already take you seriously. Otherwise, and in your case, it only makes you sound like a dumb and ignorant douchebag.
Which definitely seems to be what you are, I mean, I’m not saying it’s out of character or anything. Just sayin’, you might wanna stop advertising it like that. See :
You do realize that doesn’t actually mean anything, right ? Right ?
So yeah, that’s how you sound right now.
And that’s considering I just got up 20 minutes ago and haven’t had my 5th coffee yet, so I’m still in a rather patient and tolerant mood. I’ll get back to your shit once my system’s purged the last of the THC.
@Humbug
https://www.google.com.ph/search?q=majority+of+women+have+never+experienced+orgasm&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-ph&client=safari
Your URL leads nowhere.
If it had led to a reputable website that said most women don’t experience orgasm, I would have started to consider myself a very, very lucky woman leading a charmed sex life. I also would have thought, WTF!
But no, what you posted was a humbug. When I do a search for your URL, I see similar articles, which say, variously, that from 5 to 20 percent of women have never experienced an orgasm. And that between 65 and 80 percent of women rarely or never orgasm through intercourse alone.
Truth: It’s your BFF.
@Kat
I suspect that Humdrum and the usual suspects are extrapolating from the fact that 65-80% of women rarely or never orgasm through intercourse alone to assume that this means they *never* experience orgasm
This suggests they might have a somewhat… limited view of the range of possible sexual interaction between consenting adults.
@Matchstick
!!!!!!!
It’s heartening that Humbug learned something today, even if it was only how to make a line break on an iPhone.
Perhaps by Thursday he will have discovered how to use the word “deign” correctly.
If we are really lucky, he will google “learn to draw comics”, and then the magical world of making pictures of Red Sonja with tiddies of exactly the right-size-for-Humbug will open up for him.
@Croquembouche
Lord alone knows what will happen if he discovers OGLAF !
@Matchstick
I remember reading some alt-reich screed about Oglaf. Unsurprisingly, they hate it with a passion and it’s NWO sexual propaganda.
Like, yeah, some obscure niche webcomic is corrupting the masses.
Also it’s gross and icky ’cause gay.
To be fair, I did find the spider pretty fucking gross, but then its gender wasn’t specified and I’m an arachnophobe anyway.
(Please folks, don’t post that here. Or at least don’t embed, and give a heads-up.)
“Diversity”, eh ? Considering, the current puritanical prudishness among the millennial sjw feminazi tumblrinas and their white knights, as reflected in the “sexing-down-and-out” of popular culture in the mass media in the West recently, this would be the specific “diversity” of that certain sexaphobic demographic that gave us burqa, the hijab, the niqab, and the burkini, eh?
I personally have no problem with “diversity”* per se , but when it causes society to become repressive rather than liberated, well, that just ain’t right.
Well, I guess that settles the question on whether or not he’s got the Nazi leanings.
@wwth
Last time I give a troll the benefit of the doubt.
I have a limited time before work, so I’ll make this fast.
Holy shit, that was one sentence. Jeezus.
Also, I think it’s hilarious that you’re kvetching about “lessening artistic and cultural expression and diversity”, when we’ve had more of that these last few years than we’ve had previously. We’ve had more Protags of Color, we’ve had more openly queer characters, and while it’s not even close to reaching parity, we’re making baby steps, and that’s a good thing.
Unless you mean we’re killing the “diversity” of different shades of cishet white dude, of course. In which case, someone better call the whaaambulance.
And lol at “traditional consumer base”. Western feminist/LGBTQ+/PoC geeks have been into gaming since the beginning, bubby. We’ve always been here. I’ve been here for 23 years and I ain’t stopping now.
Isn’t it cute they think they’re the underdogs of this story? Fighting for their boners! Because The (Wo)man wants to keep them flaccid!
NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR BONER, HUMBUG.
Shit, like we couldn’t make that any more clear. It’s not about your fucking boner. It never was. Your boner being sad is hilariously off-base.
You’re just mad that feminists said “Hey, maybe we should stop hypersexualizing women”, and companies went “Hey, we make more money when we listen to consumers who aren’t cishet white dudes!”
Had to slip in some racism there, didn’t we? Nice try at plying to our sense of White Feminism though. We’ve all grown past that here.
Did you know that Muslim feminists exist? Because they do. And some of them choose to wear burqas, hijabs, niqabs, and burkinis!
It’s almost as though feminists don’t (and shouldn’t) shame women for being hyper-sexual and at the same time don’t shame women for choosing to not be sexual at all!
http://gifyu.com/images/magicb41e5.gif
Because feminism is about women’s choices, bubby. Women can choose to do what they like, it’s when they’re forced to be one thing or the other that we have a problem.
I have a problem with women being forced into being “pure” and “virginal”, but I also have a problem with women being forced into being hyper-sexual, especially when it’s by dudes like you who insist that they’re being “progressive” and attempting (badly) to co-opt feminist language to see some tiddies.
“I have no problem with ‘diversity’ when it appeals to my boner! So we can only have skimpily-dressed white women in blonde, brunette, and redhead.”
Though it looks like you had an extra thought there. Care to share with the class, since you’re already here opining about your Boner Monologue?
Another point that I wanted to make:
I have an iPhone.
And look at all my paragraph breaks.
look
At
Them
It’s almost like Humbug is blaming Apple for his own incompetence.
Don’t get me wrong, they’re a shitty company, but their keyboard works just fine.
Now if only I can fix the damn autocorrect.
By the way, the idea that Muslims are “sexaphobic” seriously needs to die in a very large fire as soon as possible.
Also, I just wanna point and laugh at this :
This world ain’t got a flat surface large enough for that kinda projection.
Buzzwords. Buzzwords everywhere.
I ain’t sayin’ that Humbug’s a bot.
I’m just sayin’ they wouldn’t pass a Turing test.
There’s so many high quality TV shows that I don’t have time to catch everything I want. There used to be maybe two or three good shows on at once.
My list of fiction that I want to read is ginormous. I’ll never get to it. And there’s such a variety.
I’ve had to reject entire forms of media such as comics and anime. Not because I have any disdain for them or don’t think they’re true art. It’s because again, I already have more on my list than I can possibly consume.
The only thing that I think is in a slump is the Hollywood movie. They seem to be mostly just interested in huge budget movies that they need to make gigantic box office on. As a result, there is a lot of fear of risks and creativity. Hence the endless remakes and reboots. Funny how these trolls who are supposedly so concerned with artistic integrity don’t have a problem with capitalism harming the creative process. Nope. It’s just the SJWs. Anyway, there aren’t as many intriguing medium budget and small budget movies as there were in the nineties and early 2000s IMO. I’m actually hopeful that could change now that streaming services are putting out more original content though. I just saw Discovery on Netflix and really enjoyed it. Maybe we’ll see more interesting mid-budget stuff from them.
Sorry if that was tl;dr.
It just seems so silly to me that someone could think there’s nothing good in the media anymore. If I didn’t have to work, I could probably stay home and consume media and read all day every day and never run out.

OT — but nowadays I’m always thinking about Trump and how he’s trying to destroy us
‘Me getting shot is a manifestation of Trump’s and Milo’s violent ideology’
On inauguration night, Josh Dukes was shot protesting a speech by rightwing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos. But now he’s seeking reconciliation, not revenge
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/04/man-shot-milo-yiannopoulos-protest-seattle-trump-interview
Humbug’s timing is spectacularly bad considering everyone is on another article defending rap, a musical genre generally known for it’s heavy misogyny, as a legitimate art form from a racist alt-right critic who says that it doesn’t even count as music.
Back to the drawing board, Humbug!
