So... feminist trolls quote-mined the Norway shooter's manifesto (Anders Behring Breivik), posted the excerpts to /r/mensrights pretending to be a long time lurker and member of the MRM, and now a moderator of /r/againstmensrights is lying about how well that post did over here.

My response to manboobz:

"Just because some batcrap crazy guy has X view doesn't mean that X view is somehow violent or hateful. If he'd said in his manifesto that he thinks that puppies are the most beautiful, amazing beings on the planet, would you all be tossing your puppies on the street and calling anyone who still likes puppies a soon-to-be mass murderer?"

As I said over in the thread, this is maybe a good thing.

Trying to discredit us by building strawmen and attacking them shows that they don't want to deal with anything but the more radical thoughts here, instead of actually paying any attention to more moderate arguments that they would have a harder time fighting.

just because someone crazy agrees with you doesn't make you wrong

Am I the only who doesn't care at all about some petty inter subreddit squabble? I keep seeing posts like "Look what was banned in /r/feminisms!", and can't imagine how it has anything to do with men's rights.

People who spend their time trolling other subreddits, whether MR or Feminisms, are losers. We shouldn't care what these people say.

Ha, I kinda saw this coming. I don't know, what were we supposed to do? His manifesto is 1500 pages long and most of it is copy and pasted from other writing he found on the internet, some of it rants. For all we know a bunch of it may have come from r/MR. Just cause he's a wackjob doesn't mean that there aren't real problems with feminism.

Anyway, trolls will troll. Move along.

"I shot Andy Worhol" (the film) praised SCUM manifesto as a 'feminist classic'.

'vagina dentata' (a webcomic parody of 'hakuna matata') made the rounds a few times.

Rote Zora was a feminist group that bombed West German government buildings in the 1970s - 1990s.

Maryam Rajavi, is a woman simultaneously supported by the feminist majority foundation and head of an org listed as a foreign terrorist organization.

it's not like there are no feminist terrorists.

Trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls... with all of these entangled subreddits, it's impossible to have actual dialogue, isn't it?

GorillaJ · 2011-07-26T06:06:25+00:00

Honestly, pay this group no attention. Anarchism and AMR are immensely fucked up. They're delusional bigots wrapped in a toasty layer of hate and bile.

I'm sure one could take certain less violent pieces of the SCUM manifesto, post them to a feminist reddit and get a lot of upvotes, thereby "proving" that all feminists are as rabid as Solanas.

Does anybody else realize that probably 90% of what Breivik said is already well-established far-right propaganda? It's nothing special; so why is it so important that we (or anybody) be associated with Breivik? Guilt by ideological association?

thingsarebad · 2011-07-25T23:17:35+00:00

Stop giving attention to these people. They are doing it to relish in wasting your time. When you give them attention, they laugh at you, and you look more the fool. They are trolling you like champs.

kloo2yoo · 2011-07-25T22:12:59+00:00

a creation of /againstmensrights as well?

zarquon989 · 2011-07-25T23:22:42+00:00

I finally got banned there for posting balanced and considerate replies to their posts.

Whatever they are, they don't seem too bright, even in their trolling attempts.

FascistOrigami · 2011-07-26T05:20:39+00:00

The truth is we got badly used, and this does provide ammo against us. We've been punished for our not suspicious enough mods.

Terraneaux · 2011-07-26T08:08:58+00:00

I actually noticed this when I read it, btw. Maybe I should have been louder, but...

Lol at them failing at trolling.
