"Men’s Rights Activists Claim They Cost Star Wars $4.2 Million" - Return of Kings isn't MRA is it?

From the "About" page:

We are generally against men’s rights and how they portray men as victims in need of state assistance (see: The Men’s Rights Movement Is No Place For Men).

Convincing enough?

He is not an mra.

He says himself he isn't.

Feminists use people like him, to draw attention away from the mens rights message and make us look ridiculous.

Which back fires on them because is a public lie, which is told over and over.

Oh my God again with this shit.

No, they’re not.

Emphatically so, as this article from RoK entitled 5 Reasons I Am Not A Men’s Rights Activist which includes the witty bon mot:

The majority of fervent MRA’s come across as… well, to put it bluntly – losers.

Return of Kings has as much to do with the MRA as TERFs have to do with inter-sectional feminists.

The only connection you could make between ROK and MRAs is that they are both part of the 'manosphere'. But the 'manosphere' itself is valueless. It only refers to the greater collection of sites and information about things relating to men.

What article? Am i missing a link?

cymrich · 2016-01-05T00:45:31+00:00

so it appears this BS originated on Forbes 4 days ago by a "correspondent" named erik kain.

If anyone talking to you says there isn't a smear campaign against MRA's in the media, then please ask them why Roosh V, who has stated numerous times he isn't an MRA, is still called an MRA by award winning journalists. Also, you might as well inquire as to why Elliot Rodger, who might have not even known what the MRM was, was called an MRA by award winning journalists.

I am tired of all the articles coming out about MRAs saying we boycott movies. I remember this coming about when Mad Max Fury Road came out, /r/feminism had articles saying how MRAs hate the movie but never say anything here, and I enjoyed the movie.

I don't know, but I really liked the new star wars and thought the gender roles were refreshing.

btmims · 2016-01-04T22:43:59+00:00

You put a self post, I don't see the link you're talking about

Sorry all, I had tried to include the link in the op but failed dismally. Here it is: https://archive.is/0Elwx

They are part of the manosphere. Like MGTOW.

It all comes down to the same thing and the same set of concerns - how modern society treats men - they just differ in what to do about it.

MGTOW is basically fuck society, I'm going it alone. RoK is like fuck society, I am going to try and live a traditional life. MRAs are like...let's try and change society and spread our views into the mainstream. Hence the MRA backlash against RoK because they are sensitive to their public image.

I think the whole manosphere should back each other up and respect the different approaches - we've got enough people gunning against us (like the entire mainstream media) already.

How is it this girl and generic stormtrooper with no Jedi training beat a former Jedi who had been training with a lightsaber for years, and how does a character know how to repair a a ship of which she has little to no experience repairing? In reality, we have women who fail to make the Navy Seals, neglect STEM for liberal arts degrees, and cry when a man says "hello beautiful" to them on the street.

The film is ridiculous. It was more important for the creators of the film to embed SJW propaganda than make a decent film. ROK is spot on, however not a Men's Rights site.
