Video: Feminist rig vending machine to steal your money. If you get upset, it means you're a violent misogynist.

Space_Ninja · 2014-04-10T06:56:54+00:00

Hitting a metal box to get it to drop the snack that you paid for = hitting a woman. Very scientific conclusion.

I wonder why they didn't try this experiment on women also. My guess is that they would shake and hit the machine as well, but showing that would not help demonize men so well.

lafielle · 2014-04-10T11:08:49+00:00

This video literally presents women as objects who's only function it is to steal money from men...

I find that sexist and offensive.

plasmatorture · 2014-04-10T09:11:25+00:00

What the fuck did I just watch?

Did they add that video of a woman who gets scared when the machine is beaten?

Do they not understand that when vending machines don't work the common reaction is to hit them to cause some response? It fixes most of vending machine's real problems. When a vending machine takes your money and does nothing it is incredibly frustrating. Nobody likes being blatantly ripped off, especially when you can't go complain to someone about it.

But hey, clearly this is a domestic violence thing, because men are evil!

Fucking disgusting.

Now it's the poor vending machines, but did you know that back in the 80s, most males would violently assault pinball games?!?!?

In fact, feminists successfully lobbied to have a "Tilt" penalty built in to most pinball games to curb aggressive male behaviour but it obviously didn't work!!!111

This is just the latest sign that the patriarchy is still strong and masculinity is toxic.

kaithekender · 2014-04-10T07:48:33+00:00

What I learned from this is that women are machines you put money in but sometimes they don't work so you have to hit them until they do.

"In most cases it's all men's fault"

Oh for crying out loud...

VOICE_OF_REASONING · 2014-04-10T11:34:49+00:00

Looks like a bunch of actors... "How dare you tap that vending machine in front of my daughter!"

Hungerwolf · 2014-04-10T12:49:07+00:00

Yeah, I'd have done the same if it were male face on the screen. I've gone Street Fighter car bonus stage on those things before.

2014-04-10T13:50:11+00:00

"Every seventh murder on our planet occurs within families. And in most cases it's all men's fault."

... because by definition (to a feminist at least), when a wife murders her husband, it's the husband's fault.

IHeartSoup · 2014-04-10T07:46:37+00:00

looks like actors hitting the machine to me.

SirSkeptic · 2014-04-10T09:02:58+00:00

I wonder if the machine would have responded to a calm measured: "Give me my candy bar." Vending machines respond to verbal argument, right?

HalfysReddit · 2014-04-10T14:37:19+00:00

Very first line pisses me off:

Every seventh murder on our planet occurs within families.
And in most cases it's all men's fault.

There's a significant difference between saying "in most cases it's a mans fault" and saying "in most cases it's all men's fault"

They're literally saying that in most cases, the murder is to be blamed upon all men equally. As in me, you, every dude in this sub, some dude in Alaska who we've never met, and some other dude in South Africa who's been a soldier since he was six. It's all our faults. One man does something wrong, all men are to blame.

I really dislike how manipulative the video is. It's a machine, not a person. Slapping vending machines is often who you get them to work again. Adding a picture of a person on the machine doesn't make it a person, and it doesn't make whatever one does to said machine reflective of what they do to people.

Also, they cut out all the audio from the mall itself (people talking, laughing, cell phone), put on sappy sad music, and then also splice in the sounds of a woman crying. All this to manipulate the viewer and make it appear like this men were intentionally slapping what they perceived to be a crying woman.

I'm really curious how many women did the exact same thing and weren't shown in the video.

2014-04-10T08:04:59+00:00

Hey, vending machines have rights, too!

2014-04-10T08:47:06+00:00

It also kind of matters how many men they had to steal money from to get the clips they used on that video ... if they needed to steal from 100,000 men to get the reaction they wanted from a handful of them, then what the fuck does it prove ? Nothing ...

Also, they don't show the reactions of women at all. I suspect that women would be comparably 'violent' toward the machine ... but Feminists don't want that to be shown at all...

Gittiup · 2014-04-10T11:36:43+00:00

I'd like to see the unedited version of this video. You know women using the same machine ? Because I'm sure their reaction was to call women shelters or police when their fuckn snickers bar didn't drop.

This little social campaign is so many degrees of stupid.

geoboy1234 · 2014-04-10T10:25:52+00:00

There is comment: Every year thousands of Russian women die from domestic violence caused by trifles.

Given that there are about 16,000 homicides every year in total, the trifles must be worse than mafia wars and drugs combined.

SpanishGuy · 2014-04-10T11:56:01+00:00

I'm sure it works very well for women: It feeds their confirmation bias "men are violent". Once they are scared enough, it's time to ask daddy government for measures "to protect women against those violent monsters".

I must recognize it's an excellent marketing job. It's dirty, unethical, malicious, disgusting... but hey, it sells.

Anyway... I think I have seen women hitting ATMs out of rage. There must be any video of it ;)

anonymous11235 · 2014-04-10T12:32:31+00:00

Theft is illegal right? I bet they didn't have those men sign release forms either.

calvingarner · 2014-04-10T12:00:13+00:00

All actors I guarantee it.

HalfwySandwch · 2014-04-10T17:15:44+00:00

I liked seeing the machine get set up by men.

Brand_ · 2014-04-10T15:46:59+00:00

So the moral of the story is, women steal money? Sounds like that campaign is misogynistic.

thisisnotatoaster · 2014-04-10T17:11:04+00:00

Most of them are doing what a lot of people do when a crappy vending machine steals their $1.75 and they didn't get their damned twix bar. I'd be pissed, and I'd probably bump or shake the machine a bit in hopes of maybe knocking my candy bar loose. If people are going to organize this kind of thing, at least make it a cogent analogy. Domestic violence != Vending machine rage.

Aside from that - I've also known some Russian women to be rather...er...violent. So I don't see what they're trying to prove here. Domestic violence sucks, and it is a problem there, but this is just stupid and doesn't "prove" anything.

kagedtiger · 2014-04-10T15:36:24+00:00

The worst part of this is that when you look up "the helpless machine", there isn't a single article on the first page about it that says how ridiculous it is. Some actually seem pretty sympathetic.

me_and_batman · 2014-04-10T15:44:50+00:00

If a woman stole from me, would I not be obliged to use physical force to get my money back? Because I would.

DerekAcorah · 2014-04-10T21:10:30+00:00

This is so see-through that it's hilarious. Not only do they not have any point to make with their methods, but I suspect they even employed actors and still failed to make a point.

Or is the point that men shouldn't ever challenge anything remotely feminine? Put a woman's face on a machine and suddenly you shouldn't get mad at it? Were the men supposed to stop and apologise to the machine after the video of the woman crying started playing? Such a laughably pathetic attempt to demonise men and yet so much effort went into this.

LeMadu · 2014-04-10T08:27:34+00:00

Its feminists like this that give feminist such a bad title.

No0neEver · 2014-04-10T12:04:58+00:00

Guys just hear me out, this might be satirical. I say this only because of the second line in the beginning.

And in most cases it's all men's fault.

I understand that it is common to blame men for feminism's problems, but usually they try to be a little more tactful than this. The phrase that something is "all ____'s fault" is usually only used when making fun of a group by making them look like they are just trying to blame people. Could still be real, but it's just something to consider.

thisisnotatoaster · 2014-04-10T15:58:38+00:00

Ok, so the murder rate men vs women as a spouse or intimate partner is 1.27 women for every man within the United States. That is a fact. In percentages that is 60-65%ish percent. That is misleading at a minimum and clearly the use of a weasel word because the video strongly implies a higher percentage, even if they can point to the majority argument. On top of that it, giving them the benefit of the doubt due to it being a slavic source, it then implies that men are not really victims, even if unintentionally. Plus the whole garbage argument going on with the vending machine

2014-04-10T17:42:03+00:00

Are the feminists who made this video suggesting that women have as much intrinsic value as vending machines?

richardnorth · 2014-04-10T18:52:26+00:00

You know one thing that gets me pissed about these videos is the fact that a bunch of idiots watched this video and thought "duh... yeah! yeah! you see? men are violent and commit domestic violence so bad! duh... we should duh... do something! wow this video is so smart!"

mordanus · 2014-04-10T22:18:20+00:00

No mention of how many women got pissed off an slapped the shit out of the machine? Oh... right because women wouldn't do that. What a pointless experiment/video

TurtleSuicideRelief · 2014-04-10T22:23:33+00:00

I always unplug broken machines when I can.

blkarcher77 · 2014-04-11T01:39:07+00:00

Because there's no difference between hitting a vending MACHINE when your food get's stuck (usually fixes the problem) and beating a woman...

dungone · 2014-04-11T05:27:02+00:00

Would have totally believed it if they made sandwiches. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bwfW0DUpK7w

2014-04-12T03:38:29+00:00

lol and they complain about men equating women with objects.

2014-04-13T19:29:42+00:00

Whats even more rage educing is in the Russian version all the comments agree. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPT_rARh71U
