1. Yep..unfortunately,

That's what passes for critical thought in some corners around here. Best not to get sucked into the trap.
Dare I call it a Fallacy Culture?

[Warren DeMontague]

12. I was getting a little worried, actually.

we'd gone a good 3 weeks since the last boobageddon.

[opiate69]

13. No doubt!

It has been Really Quiet around here lately. But, Boy, today's Spike in boob-rage is really bringing back memories. Of course, given the Twitter idiots responses to Angelina, the moral brigade has some good low-hanging fruit to swing at.. kinda like Teeball... it's hard to Miss!

14. Someone is sure trying to

Inveigle a reaction.

[opiate69]

15. I'm sure they'd think it was just duckie if DU was "alk outrage, all the time"

[Warren DeMontague]

16. Im not really sure what the point is, honestly

I've had 4 hour phone conversations with drunk alcoholic relatives that were more productive.

[opiate69]

18. Meh...

2. Reacting as you do is just feeding the frenzy

Don't fall for it.

[MrSlayer]

3. I don't know why you give a shit about what they think.

I read maybe three or four lines of that nonsense you were responding to before clicking off of it. It's ridiculous nonproductive bullshit and it's almost always by some guy looking to score points by calling out his fellow men for being the "uncivilized barbarians" they are.

Hell, I know some guys that act like wussified eunuchs around certain groups as a ploy to get laid.

The point is, fuck that dude, his stupid post, the idiots in his story, Jolie, her tits and Brad Pitt.

There isn't a damn thing anyone on an anonymous message board can say that's going to make me feel bad for being a man or for feeling as a man feels.

DU is in no way indicative of the real world nor would I want to live in the ultra homogenized, politically correct world that many on the site would like to see.

I couldn't imagine a world less fun except maybe a Mormon world.

4. meh, they got nothin' of substance

and look at em swarm at me.

its the same players, 5-10 misandrists tops, and another 10-15 males who think that by going along with....i have no idea what to call it....they curry favor. practicing for "nice guy" and "white knight" roles.

who cares....they can kill ya, but they cant eat ya

[lumberjack_jeff]

5. We're "up here" by the way.

[Warren DeMontague]

6. My advice? Pay no attention to the weekly gratuitous "silly whacks".

they are specifically designed to elicit responses of that sort, which can be used as further evidence of the necessity of additional "silly whackage".

[galileoreloaded]

7. meh, its sport

to dispel misandry and sexism in a public space is not only warranted, by looking around, its needed.

[Warren DeMontague]

8. knock yourself out

[galileoreloaded]

9. it IS my time :) i appreciate both your view

and the minute group that seems to be the muckrakers, but its entertaining to watch them backpedal and reframe when faced with a logical argument.

so far its worth my efforts to dispel that garbage.

[Major Nikon]

17. It's a futile effort to try and debate someone when their ideology trumps reason

Whack a mole is fun for a while, but it gets old quickly.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

10. Listen, they are so so so so FAAAAR beyond SICK of it all....

....that you better start recognizing the problem.....because there is no further beyond they can go in how tired they are of it all!

This is important stuff, Warren!

[Warren DeMontague]

11. Perpetual outrage indeed.

[Major Nikon]

20. There's nothing inherently wrong with outrage

Outrage can get a lot done. However, one should choose wisely when choosing whether outrage or reason gets to be in the drivers seat.

[Warren DeMontague]

21. I guess the crux of the issue is the difference between justified or justifiable outrage

and free-floating outrage on a constant search for any and all justification.

[Major Nikon]

22. That's part and parcel to it

It goes along with being a slave to your emotions.

[Warren DeMontague]

23. What always cracks me up... is the almost mathematical predictability of how any and every horrible

thing in the world- no matter what it is- can, in fact inevitably will be linked back to, you know, "those people and attitudes on DU" in a series of incredibly predictable 2 or 3 posts.

Oh, yes, "Child Soldiers Conscripted to Mine Diamonds in the Congo"? Well, tsk, tsk, we see those same attitudes regularly on display from some here on DU yes we do

(really? people on DU support child soldiers being forced to mine diamonds? Oh, okay. Please, proceed)

Yes, yes, it's a shame that our supposedly progressive men refuse to see how their attitudes are complicit with the same sort of subjugation oppression mindset that laughs heedlessly at a dongle joke, which also sends children as young as 4 into diamond mines yes yes

indeed. it's disgusting tsk tsk quack.




At first, I was like

and then I was a bit

but at this point I'm just like

[lumberjack_jeff]

24. Well if *you* aren't pushing for child soldier diamond-mining conscripts, then it's not about you!

Why so defensive? I wonder... hmmm.

[Warren DeMontague]

25. I was wrong, in this post.

there's nothing "almost" about the mathematical predictability of certain things around here. It's a done deal.

[nomorenomore08]

26. Conflating together totally unrelated phenomena, is one of the hallmarks of nearly all extremists.

It's one way that - for instance - the MRA's, the really far-out ones I mean, feed off of their own paranoia. And I suppose much the same could be said for their radfem counterparts.

[Warren DeMontague]

27. That was kind of what I was getting at, here:

19. Bashing the male gender is a sport for some here at DU

it's almost always the same players...just consider the source and move on..
