/mr upvoting arson and murder while /2xc is upvoting murder and decapitation...must be something in the water today.

The worst thing about the thread here that was filled with wanton murder fantasies is that it was completely and utterly fake. Few people even bothered to do their research, instead opting to grab their pitchforks and call for the imaginary woman's death.

MRM always champions the idea of innocent until proven guilty; when it comes to rape cases we always say how unjust it is that the word of a single woman is enough to throw a man in jail for the rest of his life. Apparently, the word of a single man on the internet is more than enough to call for the death of a woman.

One difference. The murder and decapitation actually happened. The fantasized arson/murder did not.

Having said that, advocating violence on /mr was a stupid response. Although I highly doubt that any of the men advocating violence would actually do it. In fact I doubt they'd ever even put up a poster about men's rights.

Lets acknowledge that arson isn't an acceptable response. We need to police ourselves with regards to what we say.

At the same time, lets acknowledge the 'apparently' should be heavily emphasized. The comment is that if the poster/people upvoting it were cornered, they would do that. I'm not even sure if they're saying murder or arson.

Ehh... kiiinda. In a literal sense, yes they are, but at the same time I really don't think anyone would look at these comments and think "Hm, maybe violence IS the answer!"

Mostly, I'm just wondering why they were up-voted in the first place. They weren't exactly witty or profound.

I always take this vote poop with a grain of salt since troll sockpuppets may be upvoting poop on either subreddit.

Are these accounts from regular members of either reddit?

I am opposed to moderating any comments even those advocating violence. However I am pretty shocked that the community would upvote that. I hope people (MRA included) will eventually realize that no good will come out of violence and bloodshed.

In all likelihood the woman in the TwoX story is lying about the "rape".
