Hey famous dudes who are betas! Watch the heck out! If some comely lass wearing an I HEART Dworkin t-shirt starts whispering sweet nothings in your ear, she could be a SECRET RADFEM trying to seduce you into SJWism so she and her RadFem comrades can take advantage of your fame in order to spread evil SJW lies.
But you don’t have to take my word for it. You can take the word of a couple of random Redditors instead. In Kotaku in Action, the main Gamergate hangout on Reddit, azriel777 sadly reports that
But it is Earl_of_sandwiches who CONNECTS THE DOTS and somehow manages to work French Trotskyists and polyamory into the mix.
This conspiracy theory strikes me as being roughly as convincing as one of Ralph Wiggum’s tall tales on The Simpsons
Nonetheless, lets take a few moments to unpack some of the most egregious nonsense in Earl’s comment.
“Entryism” is a tactic pioneered by French Trotskyists in the 1930s, acting at the behest of Mr. T himself. The wily Trots joined a larger social democratic group en masse, hoping to sneakily nudge it towards Leninism. While the strategy “successfully raised the group’s membership to 300 activists,” as Wikipedia notes, the social dems figured out what was going on and started throwing the Trots out.
You may wonder what on earth this has to do with Earl’s little conspiracy fantasy. I do too, as I’m pretty sure that the notion of using sex to manipulate people predates Trotskyist “entryism” by many thousands of years.
Ok, but what about all that non-exclusive relationship stuff? Well, you know how obsessed these guys are with “cucking.” In their imaginary world, one of the prime life goals of women today — including the evil RadFems — is to have sex with as many cocky Alpha Males as possible, preferably while married to some hardworking beta schlub unaware that the children he’s raising aren’t really his own, spermwise.
Apparently, “It’s Raining Men” is the secret RadFem anthem.
Ok, but isn’t it true that Jim Sterling — the longtime Gamergate foe mentioned in the comment — actually is a big ol cuck? I mean, didn’t his wife ADMIT this????
Apparently she did in fact once say that she and her husband had an open marriage in which they both were allowed to see other people. I’m not sure why that would be relevant to anything, but the Gamergaters have assembled one of their famous infographics on the subject, complete with little arrows and stuff underlined in red.
I’ve now officially run out of evens for today, so while we’re on the subject of The Simpsons, which we were a little while ago, here’s 5 minutes of Homer getting horribly injured in every possible way and then some.

On the other hand, I’d love to see #GoobleGobble try to take on Jim Fucking Sterling Son. They’d be signing their little hashtag’s death certificate.
Cool story, bro.
Vizzini pic goes here.
A man’s opinions towards women change when he gets to know one? Say it ain’t so!
Influential, popular beta? I guess now the imaginary pack terminology simply designates “person I approve of to this extent and no further.” Come to think of it, it probably meant that all along, but at least they used to pretend otherwise.
Once again, if a man has multiple sex partners he’s an alpha male who’s spinning plates and is really super awesome because he has a harem. If a woman has multiple partners, she must be a big dirty slut who is only having sex with men to use their zombifying vagina goo to turn men SJWs.
But I thought SJW women, particularly the dreaded radfems were so hideously ugly that we’re only feminists because we’re too boner killing to get a man’s interest? So how are we all so easily able to manipulate them with our hypnotic vagina powers? Are beta men really that thirsty? I thought that was omegas or zetas or something?
Hey, maybe this will convince those guys to GTOW! If they take it as seriously as they take their games, I see a bright future ahead of us.
And to answer the azriel dude: Nope 🙂
@Zemlya
I know, right? It’s almost like women are sentient beings capable of reasoning with other sentient beings! I think we’re onto something, here. /massive amounts of sarcasm

@weirwoodtreehugger
See, this is why tampons need to be changed regularly.
(I hope that joke wasn’t in too bad taste.)
In unrelated pop culture news, I just saw a trailer for The Purge: Election Year and it has a pretty obvious Donald Trump reference in it. It’s tagline is “keep America great.” LOL.

Anne Lewis,
Zombifying vagina goo is no joking matter. It’s a real thing!
https://www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/2015/11/06/mgtow-women-literally-hypnotize-men-with-their-zombifying-vagina-goo/
Some MGTOW told us so and they’re really good at science, so they must be right!
waitwaitwait.. I thought one of the defining characteristics of a “beta” was that they were unpopular losers.
Isn’t that why they hurl that as an insult?
By God, those infographics are always an eye-sore…
Love the fact they interpret an open relationship as “cuckoldry” (shouldn’t that be an “alpha” thing to them? Or does it only count when men have multiple partners who sleep with no one else but them?) and seem to think Jim Sterling can’t, y’know, change his own mind about something. Oh no, he’s been brainwashed by his wife’s vagina somehow!
It’s rather telling these are the same people who think any guy who defends a woman online is “white knighting” and only do it supposedly because they want to get laid. Other than the fact it’s kind of hard to have sex with a woman you’ve only had online interaction with (especially when they don’t even live nearby), it shows what their own priorities and how limited their interests are. Because they’re constantly searching for sex and mostly concerned with how things, including fictional work, sexually gratifies them – they assume the same of every other male they come across, even when they’re just sincerely expressing their views.
My boyfriend has three girlfriends – myself, we get together 2-3 times per month; another woman whom I’m met a couple of times, and they get together about once per month; and a third whom I have never met and they only see each other every few months. But aside from that little detail, there’s absolutely nothing about him which the manospherian types would call “alpha”. I mean, there’s always the chance that he’s really pretending to be sweet, gentle, and feminist as they come just to get laid with as many women as possible. And somehow his family and friends are all fooled by him or helping him cover up his real agenda or something. Nah, let’s not be stupidly paranoid here. An MRAish type would never be able to hide it so well or so long. I have a hard time believing any of them could do poly unless they were obscenely rich. And even then, they’d only get women who were just after their money. Which I suppose is “all women” in their worldview, but hey, at least they get their validation!
I suppose for many of them, their real complaint is that they aren’t obscenely rich? And that acting like the kind of asshole that some obscenely rich people act like because they can afford to do so doesn’t somehow make one obscenely rich? Meh, just engaging in a bit of idle speculation.
Definition Time!
“People who were cool back in the day” = former sexist wanks who have since seen the light and become a whole lot cooler.
“Turned full SJW when they got a girlfriend/wife” = saw the light after meeting a woman and falling in love with her, thus developing a measure of empathy for women in general.
“Miserable people who parrot whatever their SO says” = independent thinkers who aren’t miserable at all, except in the projecting minds of these social-injustice couch potatoes. Who are themselves miserable because they can’t get girls with their entrenched sexist attitudes.
“Influential or popular (but still very thirsty) beta” = damn, this Greek alphabet soup is turning into a fucking purée, because isn’t popularity or influence a sign of alphaness, at least in their Greek-alphabetized universe?
“Radfem”= pretty much any feeemale who isn’t cartoonishly and slavishly submissive. Has no connection to actual radical feminism in any way, shape or form.
“Unconscious entryism” = words, what do they even MEAN?
“Unconscious entryism” = words, what do they even MEAN?
Genetics makes women do this. Also, genetics is a sapient being which has a pro-radfem agenda.
Unless they’re using an extremely broad and abstract definition of “entryism” and they believe it is possible for a class of people to be conspirators without any of them having any idea that they’re doing it, then that’s the only way it could make sense.
@WWTH
WOW! My vagina can do all that? Even (quoting the link)
…
ETA: FINALLY it embeds!
I’m listening….
Are there any actual examples of the guys they are talking about? And would any actual *radical* feminist be interested in them?
Betcha some of the people who were “cool back in the day” weren’t actually “cool” at all, but simply hadn’t said anything to make azriel777 think they weren’t.
*Sigh*
Is any radfem around here willing to give me the recipe of how to convert men? I beg of you, teach me your secret.
I already got the *non exclusive* thing going, what is the next step of the initiation, oh masterialistic misandry Queens! Teach me to enslay with my pussy!
(Seriously, though, does anyone know a spell? A hipnose technique? Anything?)
The main distinguishing belief of radfems (as radfems themselves say distinguishes them from other feminists) is that gender and psychological sexuality are completely socially constructed and based on learned behaviors rather than hormones or anatomy. This means that gender and sexuality as we experience them were created as a form of ritualized oppression that precedes and models all other forms of oppression. Hence, (radfems often conclude, among other positions) transwomen are sexual predators and all pornography is bad regardless of its content. Many are against working with other people on the left who disagree with them.
That’s not exactly Kotaku. Or French Trotskyists.
Radfems and SJWs aren’t exactly bed fellows.
Think about it. Jim Sterling’s turned into an influential video game tastemaker, plus full-on SJW and he’s still free to sleep with whoever he wants (POUNDING IT!!). Mission accomplished.
*fixed*
I try to remain distantly respectful to radfems. I just avoid the same social circles and am like “ooooh, so you are rad?”
“Yeah, the vision trans women have of cis women is fetishized. And they rape women.”
” Mmmh, ookaay, sounds like a fair opinion, alright. I guess I will just go to the bathroom and never come back. I low key want to punch your face, but guess I will just silently desire you step two thowsand burning legos. Anyway, have a good day. ”
Few things rile me up more than transphobia. I get blind with rage to see supposedly smart and well informed people hating and bothering people enough to drive them to SUICIDE just because they want to be free to be who they are, to see theirselves in the mirror, TO FREAKING TAKE A PEE in a public bathroom. They are raped, sexually enslaved and commit suicide at rates INCREDIBLY higher than any other group, especially in Brazil, proud number one in transphobia, and they DARE to say it’s an strategy to rape cis women and that cis privilege doesn’t exist. For lack of better swear words, go eat poop.
I keep hearing legends of radfems who are not racist and transphobic. Who respects trans identities even if they think vaginas lead to unique opressions and gender is an illusion.
But yeah, it’s just legends. Never seen it.
That’s one element of radical feminism that always confuses me. If gender is a socially-constructed illusion, how can it be definitively determined by genitals? And if it’s definitively determined by genitals, how can it be a socially-constructed illusion? Seriously, someone explain this to me.
Wait, so if I’m in an open relationship as a (sometimes) female-presenting person, and it would be nice if I can sleep with all kinds of wonderful people of all genders, the how do I fit into this little scheme?
Trick question. I don’t exist according to these shit stains. ?
And thank the gods for Jim Fucking Sterling, Son.
I had a discussion with a gator recently. (I could tell she was a gator because she said straight out “I’m not a gator, I just think they have some good arguments.” Short of actually flourishing a sock puppet, that’s the closest we’ll get to a confession.)
She said, with a straight face, that Jim Sterling and the folks at Extra Credits were deeply unpopular.
I said that going by viewership that isn’t true: Sterling is bigger right now than even Croshaw was at his height, and Extra Credits is a very profitable media concern which has diversified their brand remarkably.
She said that nobody on KiA likes them, and therefore this means that no true gamers like them, and this is synonymous with being unpopular.
What can one say to such remorseless logic?
