In the words of a man who cries himself to sleep every night over his very tiny penis
Filed Under assholes, blogging, misogyny, pop culture | Posted by Cara |
Believe it or not, the semi-literate male faction of gamers is still really upset about the fact that I dared to voice an opinion about Guitar Hero over two months ago. From this morning’s mailbag:
People like you annoy me. Really, really annoy me. You complain about “Judy Nails” dress code, but you wouldn’t dare complain that Johnny Napalm has his shirt off, would you? No. So fuck off.
Stop writing your stupid fucking letters to companies like Axe that aren’t actually hateful to women, you extreme feminist douchebags just make them hateful towards women.
Not only that, have you ever even stood back, and taken a look at the Rock star life style? (No you haven’t, because you’re one of those fucking nerdy douchebags that play guitar hero and believe you know everyone about rock.)
DRUGS, SEX, GROUPIES, WHORES, ROCK N ROLL
Did you ever step back at look at any of the female rock stars, and what they wore?
No, so fuck off and die. I don’t care if my approach is either up front or insulting.
Here’s some insight.

So. I feel that characters in a video game are sexist. Ergo, I have revoked my privileges to life. Clearly, I am the irrational one. After all, Zack — this dude who calls women whores — has totally disproved my points about sexism by showing me three images of female musicians who have dressed in revealing clothing at some point in their lives.
It’s such a relief to see that I just made up all of that stuff about misogyny. What a post-sexist world we live in.

Gotta love the “You’re freaking out over something I think is trivial, so that means you should fuck off and die,” thinking. Downright sensible, that is *sigh*
I’m sorry about the influx of trolls. So long and thanks for all the ad revenue!
Indeed. But unfortunately BlogHer seems to be running ads very sporadically today. So I’m getting the aggravation without the money. Bastards.
“Axe that aren’t actually hateful to women, you extreme feminist douchebags just make them hateful towards women.”
So, they aren’t hateful to women, they’re just hateful to women. Got it.
And it’s just so trivial it’s not worth getting worked up over, so it’s obviously worth wishing death or horrible pain on someone else.
Got it.
Goodness, there boys are total cowards, huh. Nothing scarier to the Teeny Weeny club than a woman with an opinion.
fuck off and die. I don’t care if my approach is either up front or insulting.
charming. this guy’s OBVIOUSLY using his wits. and it’s definitely news to me that you’re an extreme feminist douchebag just because you dared to express your opinion.
and i LOVE the fact that his idea of a viable argument is to say that rock chicks wear tight clothes, therefore they must be whores. i’m sure debbie harry and texas terri would be ECSTATIC to know that… as they kick his ass.
oh, and since when is the phrase ’sex, drugs, groupies, whores, and rock n roll’? which two things DON’T belong here? hmm…
How charming. So sorry you have to deal with all of this – whoever can say that feminism is dead needs a seriously reality check, eh?
Sooooo, feminists make the people at Axe hate women, which is proof that they *don’t* hate women?
This one’s completely unhinged.
I know that the women (and men) on such games are dressed in degrading ways, thereby stereotyping the entire genre. I have a gripe of a different kind about Guitar Hero: the lack of rock epics. Which is why I am not too crazy about the series.
As for the term “emasculate” try not to use that word.
As for the men who wrote the hateful messages towards you, Cara, I have something to say to them: Back the fuck off!
For the record, I was using the term “emasculate” somewhat facetiously. As a matter of fact, it’s impossible to “emasculate” someone who realizes what a ridiculous concept it is. Which is clearly not a category that this type of douche would fall into, as someone whose masculine identity is apparently dependent on women not having opinions.
How dare you voice your opinion, Cara! In fact, you’re SUCH a douchebag that you have your very own website that you pay for, and just to appease the rest of the world, you must talk about only G-rated subjects!
