You'd think the constant bullying would have given them sympathy with others, but it turns out that crippling social phobias and physical weakness were the only things keeping nerds from instituting a reactionary fascist utopia.

He gives a pretty direct threat at the end of that video to "take civilization back" from women and black people at the end, right after complaining that nobody's offered him a job for doing his youtube videos, even though he works really hard on them. I think he's going into spree shooter territory.

Also, Aurini passed going into spree shooter territory a long time ago.

Its weird how people like him are the "silent majority" and yet his Patreon is still at about 7000 dollars after two months when Anita blew past that in less than 24 hours.

It's just more proof that he is the real oppressed minority while dominant women like Anita Sarkeesian get jobs because their youtube videos show competent and dynamic lighting, editing, camera-work, and postproduction. In distinction, he is unfairly persecuted because his poorly lit, single-take monologues haven't gotten him noticed as a competent filmmaker, irrespective of the fact that he has no training or practical experience in film. Also she's smart and has a formal education while he's a college dropout who doesn't understand why women back away from him whenever he tries his sick seduction moves on them.

If your goal is to educate people outside of Canada, you're more of an insider than probably 95% of the thread.

As an obnoxious arrogant cowboy American, I have always been really curious about how Canada understands and deals with both race and racism. Like, how does Aurini get along with his fellow citizens? I have heard that there are vocal MRA groups at universities there, which shocks the poo poo out of me because even Americans at school shout that down or just don't know about it. Is he part of a larger domestic culture of urban racists?

And what about hate speech laws? What would it take to get him censored or fined?

An adolescent drive to feel powerful by exerting control over something dangerous.

I like how reactos simultaneously believe

2: We are in a disgusting decadent hedonistic society that allows too much

Stop making it so hard: they believe that they alone should be able have any kind of fun they want, and that all other people should exist only as tools to help them have fun. It is a violation of their rights to stop them from doing what they want and it is a violation of their rights to allow others to do as they want.

Actually, a lot of the DE people in this thread are basically just a super-suit or industrial accident away from being a supervillain if you think about it. Probably not a coincidence that most of them love comics.

But a dominatrix is probably the closest thing to a real-life supervillain that actually exists.

I mean in the ridiculous cartoon theatrical sense, as well as in terms of single-minded stupid obsessions. Like, somebody like that would fit in on the old Batman show, and DE people kind of do too insofar as they choose loving ridiculous names and want to do insane, impossible things. But they don't have lairs or costumes, even if some have codenames. The CEO of Cocoa-Cola would not, even if he's currently enacting a plot to monopolize access to potable water in a dozen countries and has hired death squads to crush unions in Guatamala.

Real loving evil masterminds from James Bond have of course ruled the world for at least 100 years and enacted evil schemes often predicted in adventure stories or old movies, but they don't flounce around in loving capes and talk in operatic, overblown language. I think Aurini would love to do that, though.

EDIT: no picture, but of course:

http://www.torontosun.com/news/alberta/2010/11/08/16039256.html

quote:

In a decision released Monday, provincial court Judge Terry Semenuk said Davis Aurini was acting in self-defence when he assaulted Amanda Lockhart during a manic episode.

Semenuk said he believed Aurini's testimony Lockhart attacked him when he rejected her attempt to kiss him after they viewed the Oscar-winning film about mental patients.

Aurini admitted pushing Lockhart and applying a pressure point to her neck in an attempt to get her to release his motorcycle helmet so he could leave.

"The force used by the accused ... when she was out of control and having a manic episode, was no more force than necessary to prevent her assault on him," Semenuk said.

"His actions were justified," the judge said, in finding Aurini was acting in self-defence.

Lockhart accused Aurini of choking her after he became angry at the conclusion of the movie.

He also threw her into the floor and punched, her, bloodying her nose, Lockhart testified.

But Semenuk accepted Aurini's version of the events - that he only applied a pressure point to her neck, a move learned in the military, to get her to give him his helmet.

"There was nothing in the demeanor of the accused that would lead me to believe that he was not endeavouring to tell the truth," Semenuk said.

Aurini, 28, said he and Lockhart were still living together, but no longer romantically involved after she had tried to jam him with a lit cigarette two weeks prior to their altercation last June.

Semenuk ruled the woman became angry with him when he refused to let her kiss him.

"Her anger turned into a manic episode as a result of her mental illness," the judge said.

"As soon as she became angry, and as a result of his past experience with the complainant's mental illness leading to violence, the accused prepared to leave the apartment," he said.

The part that surprises me the most is that he apparently has a special movie-watching helmet, although I guess that shouldn't really be a surprise.
