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.
“Trust me, none of us got laid for being on the chess team”
Pretty sure this guy is not on the chess team.
“The guy who gets shoved in the mud by Bill BigDick this decade will be inventing the technology of the next one”
As with above, mastering chess, technology, or anything beyond just jacking off requires effort. It helps to have skill and aptitude. Effort will create skill in time. Aptitude makes it come faster. But if these losers had any of that they wouldn’t be MGTOWs.
@lkeke35
Exactly this. Just in the last week, I had two very different exchanges that relate to this.
1. a student noticed I was reading a Discworld novel; then spotted the tiny “No-Face” plushie on my bag. We talked for ages about Pratchett and anime and other stuff and it was glorious. She’s all of 18, full of enthusiasm, smart, and geeky. Why on earth would I shut her down?
2. another student complained at great length about how 13 year olds are into Nirvana. “It’s my music”, she argued – and I restrained myself from pointing out that she would have been in pre-school when Nirvana was at the height of their success.
Then again, I’m a feeeemale, and in my forties to boot. What would I know? 😀
@Imaginary Petal
I’d assume the other around as Other Nazis actively treat other people as things for their activities and seed new aliens for their own desires, and Anime Nazis as Alien because they keep facehugging new blood, and turn their twisted inner thoughts outside in into its horrid figure for all the world to see.
I’m putting way too much thought into this.
“Not only will I not date a woman who’s less than lingerie-model gorgeous, I demand all other women remove themselves from my presence so I don’t have to even look at non-10s. P.S. Don’t you hate how women are all hung up on looks?”
also
“No women enjoy nerdy stuff. Well, except for the women I actually know. But the imaginary women in my head HATE it.”
The cats are home!

So… I have a super important test tomorrow, from 8am to 4pm. I need to get up at 6. It’s now 3.11am. Can’t sleep. I’m gonna have to go in completely jetlagged, running on fumes, for a full day test. Why must my brain hate me so? Why can’t I just have a full night’s sleep like normal people? 🙁
…desperately resisting the impulse to buy Victuri merchandise out of utter* spite.
* Well…half-spite, half-joy.
Building on this personally, I probably wouldn’t have discovered Dragon Quest without my girlfriend. Hell, I’m playing her copy of DQ8 right now. Women have actively enhanced my hobbies.
I might have? I do need WWTH and Scildfreja to email me again since I accidentally lost their addresses. ; n ;
And sorry to all the people still waiting on a pony, I haven’t been able to do much with my money in terms of sending that stuff out.
Though I imagine SFHC will be disappointed with the Rainbow Dashes. I recently discovered they have no wings. : |
Migtoes: Ewww, girls icky! Ewww, girls stupid! Ewww, girls!
Also Migtoes: Tits or GTFO! Supermodel types only!
Also Migtoes, again: Supermodel types are fake geeks and gamers! Tits GTFO!
And also Migtoes: Why girls no like me? Why I incel?
One day, self-awareness will dawn. And when it does, it’ll be a bitch.
I think this is a secret plot by alien intelligences from beyond the ken of mortals to drive us irrevocably mad when our irony meters finally self-destruct.
Oh sorry, the Lovecraft discussion was the other thread. What I meant to say was “Christ, what an asshole.”
I sometimes wonder if any of these guys ere ever on the chess teams the claimed never got them laid. Like, half the chess team at my high school were guys I knew, and they were all pretty solid bro types, popular but also happened to be very smart (they did not always use this for good, two of the had an unnerving habit of being way too interested in how dictators maintained power). Because in incel world, the idea of a genuinely smart guy being popular, having social skills, or being outgoing and into non-nerdy things is an anathema (one of the smartest guys in our class, tutored everyone else in calculus-level math, had a steady girlfriend, started a juggling club, and was utterly sweet while rocking a very weird beard that teachers told him to his face made him look like Sasquatch–he just grew it wilder).
Just wanted to point this out. Groundbreaking stuff!
Come on, so close. Because it’s not about the ‘girl’ but about the man’s status as gained by possessing attractive women. It’s OK, you can say it…

Like your sister?
So, is this game being played coincidentally after rimming? Or does Darren have a go to game for this purpose. Daisy eat the booty like groceries, and he’s just like ‘welp, gotta boot up Mass Effect to calm down’
Literally, nobody I know has ever said that. Literally only MGTOWs and their ilk ever say this. Get your shit together
So, only ugly girls are nerdy?
I have two words for you: Meg Turney.
@Jason
I’ve got 2 words for you: not helping. Maybe I’m off base, but why is the response to ‘these women are ugly’ always ‘no they’re not’? Methinks we’re missing the point, folks
I thought that sounded familiar so I looked it up. Dragon Warrior (the NA name for the franchise when it first appeared) was one of my favorite games. I still remember farming metal slimes for gold and xp, damn I loved that game!
Does OP not notice that he says geek men are average or lower, meaning 5 or lower, and geek women are 4 or lower, nearly the same range?
It’s ridiculous that he buys in to the whole 10 point rating system, but surely if he is so smart he should have seen this part as absolutely the right distribution. Or is he mad that there are no 5s?
Honey, no, you’re doing it wrong. You’re supposed to accuse nerdy girls of pretending to be into things nerdy boys like. You know, for the precious male attention. I don’t think any woman is under the misconception that her bishonen body pillow and massive collection of slash fic are going to impress many straight dudes.
Although the ones who would be impressed would be the awesomest straight dudes, so maybe go for it.
This is silly silly silly. It deserves an epitome-style takedown.
You make it sound like men are the exclusive originators of nerd-type activities. You don’t really believe that, do you? You do? Okay.
EVEN VIDEO GAMES. Unbelievable!
Only a modicum? That is sad. They deserve at least a soupçon of attention.
Trust you? No. Plus, my friend met her first girlfriend in a similar scenario. (I’m sure you think gay people don’t matter, but anyway.)
I, on the other hand, am the (feeeemale) glasses-wearing freak who will lecture you on hyphenated adjectives. Glasses-wearing. Glasses-wearing. You’re welcome. No, there will not be a rimjob with this service.
Oh no you can’t. Sally is everywhere. You can’t make her go away. She is the enemy of specific tastes everywhere. All she likes are general tastes. Why, I was drinking raspberry-hibiscus tea the other day, and Sally floated into the room and knocked the mug over. In a spooky voice, she intoned: “Do nooot driiink specific teeeea. Only driiiink general teaaaaaaa.” If I can’t escape Sally, do you think you can? Fool of a NuclearTruthBomb!
I’m 100% certain that my man got laid for being on the chess team – by a hottie 😉
I’m into some nerdy stuff, I’m staring at a Lego Dalek and a Jyn Erso action figure even as I type this but I would give it all up if my interests suddenly became male only. I happen to it when men and women can share the same space and interests. Second, I feel like slapping the taste out of his mouth for his crack about his sister who’s on the spectrum. Not cool.
$5 says he’s using the GamerGoiter idea of “average” here, i.e. the 70th percentile. They love to freak out over reviewer’s “slandering” “objectively good” games with scores in the 7/10 range. 5 is simply appalling in their minds.
This seems like a classic case of projection to me. Guy was bullied but doesn’t consider that he is doing the same thing by bullying nerdy girls. He’s wants to build an exclusive treehouse to keep out people he considers lesser than him. I mean, yeah, most nerdy people (including men) don’t look like supermodels or perhaps if they do they’re not as socially adept as others, which is why we develop other interests in the first place. For guys like this, “nerdy” women are invisible. Even though they’re desperate for companionship they still pass over anyone who doesn’t meet their ridiculous standards. Well, that’s their fault. They’ll be grumpy, lonely dudes. Me, I have my group of friends (mostly women) who are all into nerd culture and enjoy playing games and geeking out together which means when we game online we rarely have to suffer the irritating harassment of playing with guys we don’t know. Makes life so much easier!
I find it interesting that the terms fanboy and fangirl have such different connotations.
Fanboy: obnoxious, unwelcoming nitpicker and gatekeeper
Fangirl: silly and squeal-y, but enthusiastic and open
Fangirls have no time to spare for MGTOWs and incels. They’re too busy enjoying stuff.
What I find to be super ironic about this is the fact that when I was younger, it was my MOM who got me interested in comics and fantasy novels, not some dude. We used to go to (our tiny local) comic book conventions together, even.
@policy of Madness; i’m only a student, but if my professors are anything to go by, software engineering these days is all about teamwork, and communicating and empathizing with your clients to better understand their needs. these guys need to stop being so smug about being able to code. anyone can code, i can code programs that write code. it’s so easy even a computer can do it!
