4chan successfully pranks twitter by behaving -exactly like- feminists. Media revises history by pretending that nobody was ever fooled.

TL;DR

If your ideology is so insane that the only thing 4chan manchildren have to do to cause a shitstorm is sound completely indistinguishable from you, it’s time to take a long and hard look at yourself and your worldview.

This article hits the nail on the head.

Jordan Bloom just covered a situation where a cultural studies PhD accused Trader Joe’s of being misogynistic because they played a Rolling Stones song. It’s not hard to see why this farce caught on in the feminist tweetosphere like a biological weapon’s payload; to look “cool”, you are in a constant arms race with your social justice brethren to be the most offended.

My favorite pull from the article and the most absurd thing we're trying to counter.

Good article

/r/MensRights was fooled, too. I recall a few posts lashing out at the 'end Father's day' hashtag, taking it as a completely serious and very real representation of what your average feminist thinks.

Feminists and their ilk need to find more and more ludicrous thing to revolt against in order to stoke the fires of legitimacy

4chan, you silly imps.

I was just wondering if we can create a record of actual Feminists who have supported this?

Once we start amassing known Feminist posters and female posters who haven't been shown to be 4chan sleepers, we'll be able to start trotting them out when these "oh, we, like, totally knew it was a hoax all along" articles come up.

brilliant!

I posted this about a week ago when it happened. From what I can see, few were fooled on here longer than some hours into the troll, but a lot were quite interested in the fact that the troll picked up support from many feminists.

Damn.

Honestly for as crazy as those guys on 4chan are, I've never seen more accurate descriptions of feminist ideals. They're pros at dissecting their bull shit.

pauselaugh · 2014-06-20T21:09:35+00:00

While I doubt "nobody was ever fooled" I'd say "nobody that matters at all regarding this non-issue was ever fooled."

Does this logic also apply to the Elliot Rodger, Marc Lepine, Anders Brevik, and George Sodini killings that everyone outside the manosphere thought sounded exactly like the Men's Rights Movement?

dangerpants2 · 2014-06-20T17:07:42+00:00

Except no feminists ever said shit like that, and you're still being fooled by the trolls by thinking that they did.

What a surprise. r/mensrights is full of gullible idiots.
