Reddit Shitlords Give Other Reddit Shitlords Prestigious Shitlord Award

[ismnotwasm]

Today is an auspicious day. For the Men’s Rights Subreddit, which we often write about here on Man Boobz, has won the prestigious World’s Greatest Shitlord Award. Oh, sorry, I mean it won the Subreddit of the Day award on Reddit. Which is, in this case, pretty much the same thing.

Here are some highlights from the official announcement , which I am totally not making up. No, really, you can go look. Someone – that being XavierMendel, one of the mods of r/subredditoftheday — actually wrote these things. And meant them. I AM NOT BEING SARCASTIC THIS IS REAL HOLY SHIT.


'The topic at hand today takes a generous turn from our amusing and lighthearted articles of the month. On this, the last day of January, we look at something a bit more worthy to be called an article. /r/MensRights comes up a lot across reddit and, indeed, across the world as being one of the few centers for men’s help. It’s often attacked, and is always the center of one controversy or the other. My questions reflect that. MensRights is, undoubtedly, the home of great activists.'

Again. I am not making this up.

'There were some people close to me that suggested I not run this article. That the repercussions of doing so would be unreasonably bad. Well, here you go, people. This is my way of saying that a good reporter doesn’t care. A good reporter reports. It’s not in my job to care about consequences.'

1. !!!!!!!!

/r/MensRights comes up a lot across reddit and, indeed, across the world as being one of the few centers for men’s help.

2. Ooooh, yeah.

Such fun.

Yeah, it’s not as if comments suggesting that a man allegedly wronged in divorce court should turn to murder got literally dozens of upvotes in r/mensrights, or anything.

Oh wait, they did.

Yeah, it’s not as if Men’s Rights Redditors gave literally hundreds of upvotes to a post about a t-shirt suggesting that men could be convicted of rape simply for being in a room alone with a woman.

Oh wait, they did.

It’s not as if Men’s Rights Redditors regularly give dozens if not hundreds of upvotes to posts from unhinged hate sites like A Voice for Men or Angry Harry,or fall all over themselves praising an internet-famous female MRA who thinks that many abused women “demand” their abuse.

It’s not as if they think “spermjacking” is a real thing in the world that should make all men think twice about ejaculating in the general vicinity of women

3. Yeah, spermjacking... I think a group of doctors asked physicians to speak to male patients

about the possibility of their partners attempting to control their reproductive systems... oh no, wait, I'm thinking of something else. So much projection with those guys.

5. Weird isn't it?

Whereas women live in a world of the real, these guys are weird and paranoid. I once suggested to a friend's older brother that if he was so convinced women weren't honest, if he really thought abortion was murder, (this was a twofer conversation) to never ejaculate any where near a woman's body--- unless it was for the express purpose of conceiving a child. Ever.


His answer was damn near incoherent, with a lot of 'no, no, no' and some 'that's not I what's mean'


On other words, he wanted to lay all the blame and take none of the responsibility. Typical illogical bullshit.

10. 'no, no, no' and some 'that's not I what's mean'

exactly. when i lay the responsibility on the men.... they run

I have had the exact same conversation with a couple different guys. They went apoplectic.

15. It's kind of fun to do if it wasn't so pathetic

How quickly sexual entitlement takes over the brain.

4. Did you see this?

I gotta say, #3 is my favorite, because WAT

[ismnotwasm]

6. I know, right?

Yeah I read that. It's funny, but damn how disconnected to you have to be to believe that 1) believe that crap 2) and actually celebrate it

[seabeyond]

8. i love man boobz, but i know very little about reddit and its set up.

i asked my niece about this and she says she has never seen shit like this on it. maybe it is a place you have to purposely go to. i dont know.

the thing? this talk is so common anymore. it is no longer just the few really strange and pathetic man.

[ismnotwasm]

9. Redditt had a number of 'news' groups

It's kind of notorious for allowing misogyny

[seabeyond]

11. "kind of notorious for allowing misogyny" where on the net is not?

but, i get what you are saying. i had it on pulse and had some interesting stuff. and had too much misogynist crap and deleted it off. i have never been to the actual site though, so i do not really get the set up. i was just provided different articles. kinda odd.

[ismnotwasm]

12. It's a user submitted site

(Along with comments) It used to be ok, and some of it still is, but there's far better out there

[ismnotwasm]

14. Well well

[redqueen]

16. How the fuck did sea's post get hidden?

I guess someone was so dense as to think that sea would be using that insult about someone else.. And not quoting the monstrous fuckers on that site.

Oh well. It only makes sense that feminists would use that term directed at someone, right? That's what we do after all.

[ismnotwasm]

17. Excellent question

A topic for Meta, but I suspect the alert was from one of concerned readers, and the hide was from a jury who didn't read context.


Edit OR the article.

[MadrasT]

18. Sheeeeit

seabeyond sneezes and a DU jury would hide it

she is the default DU feminist scapegoat

[ismnotwasm]

19. Yes

With half the shit that gets let by, you gotta say hmm

[redqueen]

20. Yep. Remember laconicsax's post?

He wrote a great satirical jury response for an alert on one of sea's posts. Classic stuff.
