Just some dudes who think a lady-only Wonder Woman showing makes them Rosa Parks

Ninja’d on Jason Momoa. I definitely think the biggest part of his appeal is that he seems like a blast to be around. Despite the big muscles, he does not have that macho “alpha male” the red pillers think women like so much. In fact, I only like muscly guys if they’re goofy and/or sweet. Otherwise they seem too threatening for me.

@varalys:
Hah, yes, “Atop the Fourth Wall” is fun. I presume you’ve seen some of his ‘Miller Time’ sections (those were what introduced me to his stuff) where he dissects just how creepy Frank Miller has become…

This whole thing is so stupid. After decades of fighting segregation, now people want to bring it back inch by inch? What’s next? One women’s only screening a month? What’s the big deal? Men have the rest of the month to see the movie. One women’s only cinema day a month? What’s the big deal? Men have the rest of the month to go the cinema. One women’s only cinema day a week? Why are you man-babies getting so worked up? Men can go to the cinema every other day of the week. One women’s only cinema? Who cares?! There are loads of other cinemas men can go to.

Slippery slope fallacy. Movie theaters also frequently have special kids days or sometimes schools rent out a theater to themselves to show a movie. My 7th and 8th grade class did that for a screening of Malcolm X. Yet, somehow movie theaters haven’t become a kids and/or families only space inch by inch, now have they?

Bowling alleys have league nights. That doesn’t mean that bowling alleys are becoming all leagues only all the time.

Restaurants frequently reserve a room or even occasionally the whole restaurant for a private party. That doesn’t mean they will all turn into private clubs.

A tiny example of segregation is still an example of segregation and once you open that door it’s only a matter of time before it swings in the other direction. When some guy demands a male only screening of a different movie (and it really is a matter of when, not if. You just know it’s gonna happen sooner or later), how, specifically, are any of you going to argue against him? I mean, I know how *I* would argue against him. I’d just say “Segregation is wrong and there’s no excuse for it.” But what would you say?

I guess you didn’t read the whole thread. Someone already said that a theater near them had a men’s screening for something. No one got upset about it.

@Shank
Compare ladies’ night for movies to decades of segregation where children can be murdered for the crime of whistling. What a nice way to compare a person being inconvenienced on that reservation to being subject to “Separate but Equal” for generations.

@Rhuu:

I didn’t know that Frank Cho was apparently one of those babies who needs to protect straight men from the faux outrage of the masses. I’m kind of sad to learn that, I enjoyed liberty meadows back when I was still living at home. It was very pretty for a newspaper comic.

Welp, there we go. Another artist to cross off the list.

I used to like him too, but now it’s impossible for me to see any of his work and not be repulsed.

And, since he’s been brought up, it’s the same with Frank Miller too. I tried re-reading The Dark Knight Returns some time back and I couldn’t finish it, all his bigoted and right-wing libertarian bullshit was just more obvious and grating.

@Fabe:

Liberty Meadows was a series I was thinking about reading but after whole spider woman thing I’m no longer interested.

That drawing really is one of the grossest fucking things ever.

@Varalys:

Linkara is very critical of sexism in comics which is cool and him losing his shit at how Frank Miller wrote Wonder Woman in ASBAR is one of my favourite moments.

It’s amazing how he condemns Islam for its treatment of women, while he nonetheless writes some of the most misogynistic shit imaginable. The majority of his female characters are either prostitutes or manipulative harpies – which is incredibly telling. Even when they aren’t either, they’re portrayed as “crazy” or Dworkin-esque man-haters (like Wonder Woman was – nevermind her whole backstory involving Steve Trevor and all that…). There’s rarely a woman who is none of those things and portrayed as a normal person.

OT White-on-white violence

When will it end?

Note that two black men attempt to separate the brawlers.

Why yes, I am channeling the alt-right approach to the newz (the fight at the SF Giants game today).

Drifting back on topic: Y’know, considering that this cinema wouldn’t need to host a special screening if it weren’t for MRAs harassing feeemale moviegoers and shooting up feeemale movies… This is all a bit like a serial killer throwing a tantrum because the family he was staking out got an alarm.

Rosa Parks. Un. Befucking. Lievable.

I expected it to end after a few examples, but yeesh, they just kept going.

I’m going to respond to a few comments later (too tired right now to do it now), but I have to ask: are we sure that all these Rosa Parks bus tweets aren’t all the work of one person? I mean, they’re all but copypastas of each other. Surely there were some more original wordings than that in there, weren’t there?

Or don’t these guys even have enough writing ability to paraphrase that sentiment into their own words?

> Rhuu – apparently an illiterati
Well, it has been more visible since the spiderwoman backlash. It was a bit already visible if you read between the lines. And to note, he has been sustained by Milo Manara, because solidarity in assholery is not a vain word, it seems.

@varalys the dark – I know the preroll ads you’re talking about! I saw another one by the same dude that cemented to me, yep, he’s creepy proto-PUA. I don’t know if he is aggressively boundary-violating like they are, but he’s very much in the “It is unfair for you to have preferences” boat–at least from what I gathered.

First saw Jason Momoa in Stargate Atlantis. Once his character got away from the “brooding loner badass” archetype and more towards the “fun-loving badass” archetype, he was much more enjoyable.

So hey, guess which movie’s pulling 96% on Rotten Tomatoes.
