Pitchguest wrote:On a totally unrelated note, what used to be my favourite webcomic, Sinfest, has now jumped the shark. For some reason, Tatsuya Ishida got totally enamored with feminist concepts like "The Patriarchy" and decided he would implement into the comic, which turned every character into a bland black and white caricature of their former selves. He also introduced various Mary Sue entities, conveniently called "The Sisterhood" and now that's all he does anymore. Everything is about "The Patriarchy", everything is a tool of "The Patriarchy", he even made a Matrix parody where "The Patriarchy" is the Matrix and "The Sisterhood" is designed to set others free. It's total bullshit, from beginning to end. The forum, too, has become riddled with a fainting couch brigade that wouldn't be out of place in the A+ forum.

I used to be a regular there, read it every day. I haven't checked it for several weeks now. I tuned in a couple of days ago and this is what I see,
Meh, not to piss in your cornflakes but it looked like a shitty sub-Bloom County even back in the "good" days.

I had to stop there and search my memory. Then I realized that no, indeed I can not recall much about Derrida except for some generalized ideas which do not translate well into English. So I did a search and came across this:

A READER'S GUIDE TO "PLATO'S PHARMACY"
http://www.lawrence.edu/dept/english/co ... rmacy.html
"Plato's Pharmacy," one of Derrida's most influential and amusing early essays, was first published in 1972 and translated into English in 1981. The English translation, which was done by Barbara Johnson, is available in Dissemination, a collection of Derrida's essays published by the University of Chicago Press.

What is "Plato's Pharmacy" about? Hoo boy. What is it not about? Perhaps the best way to answer that one is by saying that the essay offers a close--no, make that a very close--reading of the Phaedrus, a dialogue by Plato. One of Derrida's goals in this essay is to show that although Plato tries to construct a number of hard and fast distinctions--such as the distinction between philosophy and mythology--those distinctions are actually undermined by his own logic and rhetoric.
So now I am going to disappear for awhile. I skimmed enough to determine that it is interesting enough to read slowly and savor. Not sure if I should thank you or curse you at this point, my reading list is already a mountain and this has just skipped to the head of the line.
I wouldn't waste my time if I were you unless you are a fan of deliberately abstruse dry literary critique.

You are correct, they have placed themselves in a maze with no centre or exit. They are neither skeptics nor atheists. Athenists perhaps.[/quote]

Possibly proof of impending full fledged senility, was that I first saw this as a reference to Pallas Athena, before realizing that the story of her creation would not go down well with that lot.[/quote]

It was indeed a reference to Athena but nothing more that as a reference to the kind of Goddess worship which is the opposite of a Priapic Cult, but equally as obsessed about their genitals.

I got to see Nightwish here in OKC. Because its OKC, where most people have no idea who Nightwish are, it was at a very small venue, so I got to spend the night five feet away from them, comfortably (not front-row arena my any means). Because Partner works security, we knew the head security guy working that night-- he was going to get us backstage, but they didnt stick around after the show. He did get us a signed poster, though.
Seing how Tarja is (used to be? It's been a while since I last talked to her) as full of herself as Myers, you probably didn't miss much by not going backstage.

On the other hand, if it was Floor Jensen singing when you saw them, you've missed something. Sweet lady!

Well, while catching up, I sometimes want to reply to an older post, only to see my answer disapear because by now the topic is locked. And since I am as dumb as fuck, it takes me a while to realise there's a new one. Maybe just put a parting word with a link to the new topic (like Abbie used to do at ERV)?

Ophelia almost has a point with her complaint but she goes and fucks up by using a hyperbolic slut-shaming comparison that would be instant proof of misogyny if used against someone she likes (cough...Rebecca?) who has ever made a photo with them looking 'seductive' or coy.
The girl in the photo doesn't look the way Ann is pictured in the story, but to describe the picture as someone posing for a 'bordello' advert is a rather informative rorscharch test of Ophelias attitude to sexuality.
She has red hair and she’s not a pouty poochy seductive type who lounges around with her hand in her hair posing for an ad for the local bordello.

While there may be wonderful reasons to palpate the breasts in one's vicinity, breast self-exam (BSE) for screening isn't one of them.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11450279 (chose this link just because the abstract spells out more about BSE)
...To date, 2 large randomized controlled trials, a quasi-randomized trial, a large cohort study and several case-control studies have failed to show a benefit for regular performance of BSE or BSE education, compared with no BSE. In contrast, there is good evidence of harm from BSE instruction, including significant increases in the number of physician visits for the evaluation of benign breast lesions and significantly higher rates of benign biopsy results. ... Because there is fair evidence of no benefit, and good evidence of harm, there is fair evidence to recommend that routine teaching of BSE be excluded from the periodic health examination of women...[up to age 70]...

The following is an example of what any conversation with the ideologues is like:

Ellenbeth says something ridiculous:

EllenBeth Wachs says:
February 8, 2013 at 9:24 pm
You know how I know our side is winning? The pitters have realized how badly they look and had discussions (read arguments) about changing their behavior. Even they (well, some) know what they are doing is abusive and wrong.

Reply

Za-zen attempts to correct bad logic, and give his opinion as to what has actually happened on the pit:

Za-zen says:
February 9, 2013 at 10:10 am
Ah ellen demonstrating her mastery of logic once again.

By your definition of winning Ellen, the religious won the war when the atheist movement had its row between the Nu and accomodationists. I suggest you stand on an aircraft barrier with your “we’re winning” barrier behind you. Because you missed or wholly misunderstood the nature of the debate which took place within the pit.

Pitters have differing opinions on what the pit should be, some argue we should attempt to be more effective in taking down the ideologues by focusing purely on their bad arguments, others argue that they don’t really give a shit how effective they are in any broader objective, and enjoy the barrack room humour of photoshopping idiots so that they look idiotic, with the side benefit of sending said idiots into hysterics, which feeds the lolz. This debate has happened many times on the pit, and will continue to happen. It’s the nature of the pit.

Reply


Ellenbeth sees the reply gets butthurt, claims this is evidence as to why no dialogue can happen, misses the meat of my post, which should actually have been her opening to challenge, but no, grandstanding and victimhood reigns. Short version: he thinks differently from me, and corrected my wogic! Whhhaaaaaaa!

EllenBeth Wachs says:
February 9, 2013 at 10:41 pm
So Za zen simply confirms what I have said. He just has to insult me while he does it all the while justifying the abuse and harassment that spews forth from Slymepit Haters and being happy that it hurts the intended targets.

And Lee? You wonder why we don’t want to talk to these people?

Actually, it's very noticeable in all episodes (especially through powerful loudspeakers, not so much with headphones).
For future episodes, I'm not really an expert, but either you watch the peaks or use a normalize filter in post-production. Or just ignore my whiny rants.

By media bar I mean a set of buttons which makes it easier to share via Tweeter, Facekook, etc.

The "ceasefire" thread at PZs place still holds a few minor LOLs.

This may look obessive, lurking Whored, but a 'pitter's gotta do what a 'pitter's gotta do... After all, I wouldn't want you to think, as
Esteleth, OH NO ZEBRAFISH ABORTION IN MORDOR does i.e.
Yeah, I’m going to agree with the argument that the difference between 4Chan and the Slymepit is that 4Chan doesn’t attempt to argue that they aren’t 4Chan.
Just before he got told off for using a homophobic slur, one klatu attempted to chide PZ very slightly. He also doesn't seemto have got the memo that "their side" doesn't call Ye Pitters anything except "sexist",
Klatu
These people are neither sick nor kooks nor crazy, insane, demented, foolish, hysterical, nutty, rabid, feverish, blind, deaf, retarded or dim-witted.
However they are creepy, vile, scurrillous, misogynistic, rapey, abusive, bile-spewing, revoltingly hateful, butt-hurt bullies who act as the vanguard of the kyriarchy. Ableist jargon does no one a service.
Caine pulls s/h/it into line and klatu bends over far enough to kiss s/h/it's own arse. Because dissent is fine, and they aren't a hive mind or something.

In amongst Bensons intermitent attempts to make all the suffering and abuse about her, Anthony K The Brown in Motion demonstrates why they never abuse the "other side" - because, when they do it, the abuse is invisible!

He quotes someone re Reap Paden:
On the other side Reap Paden, host of the Angry Atheist podcast, has been labeled a sexist and racist for having a heated disagreement with another prominent blogger. Those kinds of labels are not easily shaken off, in some circles, especially our own, they can ruin you without any evidence to support them.
And then commments that (underlining mine):
I don’t see the issue in the second paragraph, though. Won’t anyone from the rational community who reads “Reap Paden is sexist” simply go to his podcasts and listen to, say, the one in which he calls Stephanie a cunt over and over, and easily conclude that Reap is one of the most progressive people ever and that he’s simply being smeared by the Free Thought Bullies who nobody listens to anyway?
Completely fails to mention that Reap was labelled "racist" as well as sexist, and that's arguably harder to shake off than "sexist". Of course, next to the monumental blindness of not noticing that PZ insinuated we were all mass murderers and Benson similarly insinuated we are "stochastic terrorists", Aunt K's slip is trivial*, but telling.

Speaking of twisted wish fulfillment, one "kagato" wants to see Chris Clarke's super scary death threat appear in the 'pit.

Granted, kagato! Here's Chris seeing of someone who slightly disagreed and copped a howling dog-pile:
Though now I’m imagining a remake of the Python Skit where the condemned prisoner chooses his manner of execution, and selects being chased off a cliff by topless roller derby girls.
In the remake, me and a hundred of my fattest friends chase Georget off the cliff mounted on our scooters.
Good job none of us said that, eh. But the image of Chris and the whole fat-arsed Minnesota mafia in the creepy clown car chasing some poor schmuck of a cliff (and being T-boned by Al's demon golf buggy), is too good to pass up.

Sorry I couldn't take the scary death threat seriously guys. You're certainly worth a laugh though.

Anyway, back to your usual programming. I know Caine can take it easy after all the 'pit hasn't done anything at all;
Now be fair, they devoted at least a year to coming up with stupid twists on people’s names.
(Not that much work was needed to up the stoopid quotient on the Whored's wacky, ironic, monikers)

So s/h/it can now unbunch her panties and go explain to Benson and PZ that they are all wrong about the output of the 'pit.

* And not just s/h/it's slip, but that would be telling.

The girl in the photo doesn't look the way Ann is pictured in the story, but to describe the picture as someone posing for a 'bordello' advert is a rather informative rorscharch test of Ophelias attitude to sexuality.
She has red hair and she’s not a pouty poochy seductive type who lounges around with her hand in her hair posing for an ad for the local bordello.

I get not being happy about the STORY changes. That's fine. But shitting all over the BOOK COVER MODEL? Fuck that, now I want someone to make a gonzo porn version just to piss Ophie off. (Because it will come up, OBVIOUSLY all the participants would be of legal age. ) "Anal of Green Gables"

If it tricks "dudebros" into actually reading Anne of Green Gables then surely that's a good thing.

I believe a few 'Pitters noted the use of "morons" in the A+ conversations about oolon's blockbot. Coming up with stinging insults sure is a tricky and ponderous business when you are a social justice warrior.
Xanthe wrote:I’d also like to take the opportunity to apologise to all present for using the word ‘morons’ in one of my posts above.

Using that particular word was ableist, and it would have been much better to substitute a much less stigmatised term like ‘fools’ in order to give the right impression (someone deliberately playing the fool), even if I have every reason to suspect from the miserable quality of their arguments that severe cognitive impairment could be a rational if oppressive judgement to make on these people. Again from the immaturity and paucity of their arguments, I also entertained the idea of labelling them juvenile or infantile since some of these fools seem to have the emotional and intellectual development of a twelve-year-old, which again apart from the fact that ageism labelling would be bad, is contradicted by reality since I know twelve-year-olds who would be offended by such a comparison.

Summary of that: splash damage from ableism or ageism is bad, and I’m again sorry for the ableism upthread.

The blonde Anne of Green Gables is yet another way that the patriarchy oppresses Ophelia and ruins her enjoyment of everything with misogyny and harassment. I'm sure the 'Pit is responsible in some way, by photoshopping a photo of a blonde girl over the original redhead. I suggest that Ophelia buy herself a Kindle or a Nook and read books without looking at the covers or illustrations - maybe her doting supporters can buy one for her and load it with approved literature. Poor Ophelia, she works so hard for the betterment of humankind all day and receives so much abuse - it's really a wonder that she can soldier on with her social justice activism, living in a squalid inner city hovel and surviving by eating at soup kitchens or waiting for conference handouts of egg rolls like she does.

(For a story of a real urban activist and educator, see this piece about Central Park birdwatcher Starr Saphir.)

You're nothing short of ridiculous, Ophelia, in your self-absorption and self-pity.

Anne of Green Gables is out of copyright. Its not even like its some publisher attempting to re-enforce the patriarchy. It's just some guy.

I'm going to live to 100 and self-publish A Handmaids Tale with a porno cover.

Re: Ophelia getting into a stew because the actress chosen to play Anne of Green Gables isn't a ginge.

Has the silly old bat never heard of hair dye?

Anyways - speaking of hot coppertops, how about Jamie Clayton?

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kC5MT2r5U8s/S ... layton.jpg

Admittedly, a bit of a late starter in attaining femalehood, but she sure made a fine job of it once she got there.

Interestingly, Jamie is an actress. Wonder what Pruney would have made of it if she had been chosen for the role.

For people who have the radical idea that women are people, some feminists tend to think that women are unable to think by themselves and spend their days in a brainwashed automatic state.I never read the comic before it jumped the shark, but it did help me realize Pharyngula had jumped the shark. I used to read it from time to time because of the articles about science and creationism, but I hadn't noticed what it had become until PZ posted the "Sisterhood part 7"

http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=4051 (the image is too big to embed)

That comic showed me the insane, paranoid and totally dogmatic nature of the "patriarchy" theory, and that's when I realized something was rotten in the state of skepticism.
Wow, that is totally screwed up. Almost thought that comic was poe at first and it was some sort of parody of radical feminism. It could have easily been a parody if one of the first captions said "put on these radfem dogmatist goggles!" It explains the basis for the FTB radfem labels like sister punisher, gender traitor, chill girl, or self hating women towards women who disagree with their dogmatism. It explains how they like to infantilize women and deny them their agency.

It also confirms what I wrote earlier about how many of them seem to always wear gynocentrist "gender goggles" when looking at every social issue.

Those comics are begging to be photoshopped or parodied (perhaps in the style of one of those Jack Chick comic parodies) by one of our Slymepit satirists. :)

There's been unfortunate nastiness in both sides of this schism. I'm willing to grant that the other side has had valid points every now and then. But given the dogmatism exemplified in the comic and FTB point of view, I have definitely chosen the right side of this schism.

PZ responds to NoelPlum's video with a serving of the usual:
I know you’re all tired of him, but NoelPlum99 is a sincere troll, so I’ll actually answer him, despite the fact that his sincerity is really just a side effect of self-absorption.
PZ is an arrogant and boring mediocrity, though his arrogance is really just a side-effect of his failure to thrive in academia.
Oh, yes. Why don’t I tolerate dissent, from a dissenter who posted here for over 4 months, making 168 comments. I have to say, this is a remarkably stupid question.
Wow - a commenting career amounting to an average of fewer than 2 comments per day over 4 months. Sounds like a really prolific and disruptive troll.
We can apply this to every site on the internet: why aren’t the comment threads at AVoiceForMen full of people aghast at the misogyny on display? Why aren’t 10% of the comments at RaptureReady people belittling the inanity of Bible prophecy?
Interesting questions/comparisons.
Reasonable dissent is allowed, but the key word there is reasonable. So why aren’t there a bunch of reasonable people here disagreeing with the major premises of the blog (there is, of course, a great deal of disagreeing going on in the comments — NoelPlum99 has to have his blinders on to fail to see that — but it’s just not over fundamentals, like the value of science)? Because they can’t disagree reasonably.
LOL
In this case, I posted my regrets that Natalie Reed was leaving FtB, and also pointed out something that NoelPlum99 ought to find ironic: that the trolls and abusers are driving someone out of their own space.
Oops - PZ's forgetting to lissen to the wimminz again. Natalie Reed clearly said she didn't feel that she was driven off of FTB by trolls/harassers and asked people like PZ not to use her departure to serve their narrative. Oh well.
I will, for instance, ban racists on sight, because their arguments are not in any way scientifically or ethically defensible, and in fact are simply odious and evil.
Like ComradeBob and SteveOR? I believe it was only last week that you explicitly delayed banning ComradeBob because reasons. I assume you keep SteveOR around because he's ridiculous and pathetic and keeps SGBM distracted.
There are no rational grounds, no context for reasonable dissent, for being anti-feminist, for instance, or denying that our culture is deeply patriarchal and sexist. ... Because really, how do you express “reasonable dissent” from the view that women are people, and that our society institutionalizes discrimination of all sorts?
Whatever you say, Peez. Have fun storming the castle. :clap:

Its a book cover model, not an actress. As soon as you start reading the book you find out the character is actually a red-headed 10-11 year old. So really, if you bought it because the cover had a blonde sex-pot with come-hither eyes, you got owned.

Actually...that could explain a lot as to why SteveoR is barely tolerated there. Peez has expressed some annoyance at SGBM's OCD thread-policing before; in which case, SteveOR serves as a good distraction. Kind of like a rubber bone to a leg-humping terrier.

Really, the key to PZ's ramblings is this:

PZ said:

Because really, how do you express “reasonable dissent” from the view that women are people, and that our society institutionalizes discrimination of all sorts?
:doh:

So, PZ, you are saying that there can be NO reasonable dissent, because you consider anyone not in line with your views to be "anti-feminist" (ABSOLUTELY NOT FUCKING TRUE), and in your view if anyone thinks that there's as not as much patriarchal sexism in (presumably U.S.) culture as you amp it up to be, they are being "unreasonable". Really? Everything is that black-and-white to you? Also, dumbfuck cultist, people who disagree with you DO NOT THINK WOMEN AREN'T PEOPLE.

All of this talk about how conferences need to have anti-harassment policies and how certain women will refuse to speak at conferences which don't have them...and guess what, Rebecca Watson is speaking at a conference which appears to have no visible anti-harassment policy! I wonder if Rebecca will be writing blog posts about how the conference organizers are horrible people who don't care about women. Maybe Ophelia Benson will compare NECSS with Nazi Germany (or not compare NECSS with Nazi Germany). Will there be boycotts?

And there was another obvious reason why some dissenters get banned: they are obtuse and don’t listen. There are regular commenters here who are similarly obstinate, but at least this is their space and they have voluntarily joined up with a group sharing similar views. If you’re a dissenter, holding a minority view, there’s an expectation that you’re actually here because you’re looking to learn about a different point of view (although, as I said above, usually you’re here about confrontation for confrontation’s sake). You’re getting dogpiled; there are 20 people telling you you’re wrong. Then what happens, typically?

Shit - missed that bit. From the fuss that's blown up over it, it seemed akin to froth the nerds worked up over the casting of Idris Elba as Heimdall in Thor.

So it's about a book cover. And a very minor Createspace edition at that. Meh.

For some reason, Tatsuya Ishida got totally enamored with feminist concepts like "The Patriarchy" and decided he would implement into the comic, which turned every character into a bland black and white caricature of their former selves. He also introduced various Mary Sue entities, conveniently called "The Sisterhood" and now that's all he does anymore. Everything is about "The Patriarchy", everything is a tool of "The Patriarchy", he even made a Matrix parody where "The Patriarchy" is the Matrix and "The Sisterhood" is designed to set others free. It's total bullshit, from beginning to end. The forum, too, has become riddled with a fainting couch brigade that wouldn't be out of place in the A+ forum.

I used to be a regular there, read it every day. I haven't checked it for several weeks now. I tuned in a couple of days ago and this is what I see,
Meh, not to piss in your cornflakes but it looked like a shitty sub-Bloom County even back in the "good" days.

Lsuoma the Grouch.
I didn't like it at first either, but it grew on me. For instance, he used to make genius comics like these,

http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2896
http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2721
http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2931
http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2987
http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=3022

This next one is one of my favourites (after you've read the comic since the start, it's a really sweet and endearing strip, not to mention it shows a development of the characters)

http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=3099

Since "The Sisterhood" was introduced, their development has instead regressed. Dullsville. Anyway, enough about Sinfest.

They get banned for not joining the cult and kowtowing to the leader and his emotionally crippled followers.

Go to any forum run by batshit-crazy religious fundamentalists and you'll get the exact same treatment if you don't bow down before Jesus and otherwise agree with everything the forum's members say.
