 I'm blue. The person who liked my comment is the same person commenting "#killjonahhill"  All these ~satire~ websites seem to have no idea what satire actually means, this is just a straight up fake story. Of course the OP didn't even acknowledge my comment, instead liking the comment to murder Jonah Hill. #savejonahhill

Make up something outrageous but believable, people who believe it share and spread it around for you and you get those sweet, sweet clicks and ad revenue. If anyone actually does some research and points out that the story is completely untrue, you just point to the tiny "this is a work of satire" printed at the bottom of the page and shrug.

CommonShore posted:Yep - that's the "insipid argument" part. What is apt is the core observation that it's hypocritical for feminists to suggest that their opponents hold those opinions because they're too ugly to get pussy - "neckbeard" as a euphemism for "misogynist" is just a simple inversion of the "feminists and lesbians are just angry that they're too ugly to land a husband" line.

Horrible Smutbeast posted:Isn't neckbeard an insult because originally it was targeting the guys who grew really lovely neckbeards in an attempt to seem really manly and intelligent? To me it's always been guys with really fat necks who grow a thin covering of beard, making it look like they simply have a big bushy beard instead of a fat neck.  You're not fooling anybody!

This one was posted in some group which seems to be a MLM scam based around drinking these Aloe Vera drinks. I kept myself in the group since it seems to be a good source of amusement, but the amount of bullshit is unreal. Originally it was just to help you lose weight, but unsurprisingly it now seems to cure just about everything else as well. Anyway, i did post a comment saying this was pretty irresponsible and talking about herd immunity which needless to say was deleted immediately. There are now a load of replies on the lines of "the gel cured my childs asthma" etc etc...  A quarter of a million people have commented to say that this is a bag for holding pegs in. Half a million people have liked it.  Most of the comments are people saying 'Coke'...  VVVV Christ that pisses me off Roblo has a new favorite as of 22:58 on Feb 24, 2016 |

After a Labour backbencher heckled him about his mother signing a petition opposing cuts to children’s centres, Cameron said “Ask my mother? I think I know what my mother would say. I think she’d look across the dispatch box and she’d say: put on a proper suit, do up your tie and sing the national anthem.” The hordes of backbenchers behind him descended into uncontrollable jeering and guffawing which seemed to go on for an eternity, not helped by the fact that Speaker Bercow failed to intervene.

I hadn't thought of it that way before. Maybe not in those exact words, but it is a point that people have made before, and it's pretty valid. Basically it's two-fold: a) It sets up a double standard, where it's ok to say "lol gently caress off neckbeard ugly virgin nolifer" to dismiss someone, despite knowing that "lol ugly fat dyke" is not ok and b) Similar to how Cumslut put it, it carries the connotation that ONLY neckbeards are awful. Don't agree with the first part of Cumslut's post about being afraid, but the last bit is kinda true. The James Deen thing was met with a dose of "b-but can it be??". I know that the guys from Sherlock have been asses on multiple occasions (no rape situations, but they're an easy example), and yet they're still fairly-well regarded, and don't you dare bring up that, say, Cumberbatch IIRC compared autistic people to Frankenstein's monster. Obviously, folks who look into it more realize and know that everyone can be a poo poo, but it's not a hard situation for someone to take advantage of for example.

Serperoth posted:Maybe not in those exact words, but it is a point that people have made before, and it's pretty valid. What is Donald Trump? He has no policy aside from vague notions of American Exceptionalism mixed with strong nationalist tendencies (please note that the word "nationalist" is not a synonym for "fascist, racist or misogynistic" EVEN when applied to traditionally "white-anglo-saxon" nations). While he's very smart and well-educated, he's not a public intellectual. He's not a policy wonk. He's not a military hero. He's not even a lawyer with a career in politics. So, what is he? He's a goddamned Alpha Male. I've been saying for the past few years that Feminism (the monolithic manifestation of the Progressive Will to Power) is pushing too hard. They have essentially won. They control the schools, the universities, the legislatures, the courthouses, and the media. But, winning isn't enough for them. They want to destroy traditional culture and salt the Earth afterwards. That metaphor is especially apt. Feminism would rather create a barren, stagnant, impoverished Orwellian police state than permit males and females to naturally organize, work, and live in a natural state of equanimity. Donald Trump, and his amazing candidacy, is a reaction to Feminism and Progressivism. Do you realize that working-class white males have become the radicals pushing against the oligarchy of entrenched leftism? Who will be his opponent in the general election? It's not going to be Bernie Sanders. He's a puppet. The pantheon of leftist orthodoxy permitted Sanders to run against their anointed Queen because they know he has no chance of winning. Why do you think Bloomberg said he would only run as a third party candidate if Hillary did not win the nomination? Because, even though he's a billionaire, he knows who his masters are. All you have to do is look at the "super-delegate" count to see that Hillary is the Feminist/Leftist nominee for president. The race is a red-herring, a distraction from the truth that there really is no democratic process in the Democratic Party. Think about it. Bernie Sanders is better on every. single. issue. that Leftist/Progressives claim to care about. Hillary is a corporate stooge. She was decidedly anti-homosexual until it became popular to support homosexuals. She's not anti-gun (because gun manufacturers are corporations, and Hillary loves corporations), she's anti-freedom-- she wants to have the power to determine who can possess guns. The list goes on and on. So, this brings us back to Donald Trump. He might very well win the Republican nomination, and it scares the poo poo out of the Puppet Masters who own the Republicans and the Democrats. This was supposed to be Hillary's years. The Feminist Thought Police made sure of that by commanding the media to declare any voice in opposition to Hillary "misogynistic", just like any voice that is critical of Obama is "racist." These aren't real words that have any meaning. These words are tools of oppression, Thought-Crime, if you will, employed by the entrenched Leftist Oligarchy against any voice of dissent. But, Lo, here comes Donald Trump-- a man who singularly seems to be immune from any type of Leftist criticism. It doesn't matter how many times the media calls him a misogynist, a racist, a fascist, a Nazi. He keeps winning. Why? because we are in the midst of a social revolution. The people who have built this society and culture are simply tired of the parasites taking it away from them. America is a culture of Alpha Males, Muscular Christianity, and Social Darwinism. For the past 40 years, the Leftist/Progressive have tried to change that, and in fact, they did. But they pushed too hard. And Donald Trump is the vanguard of their Apocalypse.

I actually kind of disagree bout the neckbeard thing. It's kind of transcended the original meaning of "ugly rear end in a top hat" and has a little nebula of meanings, including but not limited to: Over-opinionated Condescending Unpleasant Selfish Rude Super stubborn Unwilling to grow or change (stagnant as a person) Poor hygiene (taking baths, not just shaving) can be a thing too. Like, you can be super good looking and still be a massive neckbeard. I've actually known quite a few attractive people I would call a neckbeard. .......or, you know, I could just be looking at it sideways to the rest of the world and be absolutely wrong.

Are "poo poo-poster" and "internet troll" appearance based? I tend to use those more. Neckbeard was cool, but it seems really dated now. And that's the only time "neckbeard" and "dated" can get used in a sentence together.

This neckbeard thing is dumb. If your beard looks bad on you, and you have the means to shave, and there's no cultural reason not to, shave it. You'll feel better and less itchy. Aside from that, go with the rule of 'don't be a dick to other people'. There, simple.

Cumslut1895 posted:Whoops. Sorry, rotting-corpse-of-james-dean I'm not, I admit that's where it started, and is often used in the same way. What I'm saying is that it also has other traits and is a little more flexible than just appearance. For example: I would call some of Richard Dawkins' behavior neckbeardy, despite him being well groomed and popular. Sometimes the scope of words change over time. E: Let's meet halfway and call people with the traits I outline "human garbage" instead, since there's no appearance or gender baggage. DicktheCat has a new favorite as of 01:41 on Feb 25, 2016 |
