I thought the follow-up was even funnier.

Stopping women from silencing men is silencing women and its a construct of the patriarchy. /s

zefcfd · 2016-05-23T02:34:02+00:00

of course this will be considered mansplaining ... sigh

Lobolobito · 2016-05-23T03:35:34+00:00

I had to google mansplaining several times, but I kept getting confused over and over that it feels like the word(s) is made up.

I've had people on trollx say i'm "mansplaining" when simply providing a point of view. Fucking children.

What is mansplaining? I've never heard of that.

AtlasAtlasAtlas · 2016-05-23T07:47:52+00:00

I hate the word problematic

SenorBeef · 2016-05-23T07:48:44+00:00

The biggest users of a term designed to dismiss and devalue what you say based on your gender are feminists. Of course.

Any of that. Mansplain, whitesplain, they're saying that what you have to actually say isn't worth addressing, but that it's invalid because of your gender or race when saying that.

It's incredibly racist, and sexist, and goes against what they should stand for, if they weren't all aggressive morons with no introspection whatsoever.

johnchapel · 2016-05-23T10:50:22+00:00

I will forever be fascinated that this brand of feminism exists. When we've been taught so much about the evils of fascism and orwellian thought police, that the result is a feminist movement that embraces the very core of fascism.

Truly fascinated.

Not a Minecraft fan, but that is pretty damn awesome.

YoungestOldGuy · 2016-05-23T07:56:27+00:00

And then there is manspreading...have they ever thought that maybe we as man sometimes need a bit more room between our legs? For biological reasons.

R50cent · 2016-05-25T14:22:19+00:00

Was at a bar once arguing with a woman about identity politics and a statistic came up, cant remember exactly what it was, but she was empirically wrong; I'd just read the study that day so I called her out. She didn't back down, even when I showed her the evidence, she never admitted she was wrong, and followed up that I was "mansplaining" the issue to her. I asked her how that was the case, considering she was WRONG, and we both knew it. I told her she should stop trying to 'femsplain' stuff to me I know more about because of some misguided ideology she has that made her opinion more valid than fact. She was not happy, nor did she back down.

Moral of the story. People who use words like mansplain are self aggrandizing morons who don't understand that strangers often try to edify other strangers about topics that they may not know about, and that this isn't a problem of trying to talk down to the stupid woman who doesn't know anything, it's supposed to be an exchange of ideas that leads to better knowing a topic, and better knowing someone else.

Unfortunately, women and others who use terminology like this most definitely have some kind of chip on their shoulder, and as far as I'm concerned, do not deserve my respect. I tried having the conversation with several of them. They don't want it. They think they want equality; they want supremacy.

StopWastingMyOxygen · 2016-05-23T10:14:53+00:00

I thought mansplaning was when a guy sits with their legs wide open and i was really confused.

Pitou-sGuts · 2016-05-23T14:12:33+00:00

Ugh... "problematic"

I don't play minecraft, but he personally backed Age of Wonders, so it didn't have to go through the usual channels, so I already held him in high reguard.

He also has kind of dissed Anita Sarkessian who crashed one of his parties, and tried to make it look like she was hanging with Notch.

I love how feminists are creating their own vernacular. It makes it so much easier to ignore them in normal society.

typhius · 2016-05-23T13:02:27+00:00

Talking down to someone through assumptions that the person is unintelligent is a rude thing no matter what the genders of the people involved. Saying that only men are capable of doing this to women is absurd.

DonQuixoteReference · 2016-05-23T14:50:28+00:00

Thank you, Notch, for intelligently explaining what this silly woman could not possibly understand, and doing so without the slightest hint of irony.

PM_ME_YOUR_BLASTOISE · 2016-05-23T12:29:46+00:00

Mansplaining made sense as a real term when it was shit like car knowledgeable women being talked down to by idiots who thought they knew more just because you have to have a dick to know car shit type attitude.

Now its just another worthless term.

JeanValjean197o · 2016-05-23T23:11:31+00:00

Not sure if this one is actually denied. She goes on to get hella support from her followers for talking shit back to Notch, and on top of that, Destructoid wrote a very irritating article about the whole thing.

I feel like all these discussions are always surrounding Americans (notch isn't, I know, but the women mostly are). I have Twitter and Facebook accounts as well and never ever did I read someone posting shit like this. Or maybe I follow the wrong accounts on Twitter. If I see the funny hair colors that's a no-follow for me. It seems to me it's always these female Twitch-streamers or YouTubers with these deep thoughts. Why would you follow or even react to these attention seeking.... females?

ProbablyPissed · 2016-05-23T12:50:37+00:00

Why do gamers have such a hard fucking time with females? Is it because they have cooties or what? I always see so much drama in gaming subs. Like, shut the fuck up, be friends and play videogames. Why do you insecure social retards need to stir up childish drama with the opposite sex at every chance you get?

fooreddit · 2016-05-23T15:02:10+00:00

Mansplaining is real, ask most women. My respect for Notch took a big dive after that statement.
