a thread for matt p

he's a good cool poster whom i like to read

this is a thread for him because i think he deserves a thread

hi matt

Big fan of this guy's raging

the curation of no way sna deserves every award

I first became aware of Matt P when he spitefully attacked my posting style out of the blue on some thread. Although at first I harbored a lot of resentment about his unwarranted remarks, my opinion of him has greatly warmed over the years. Only wish this dude the very best and all the weed he can smoke.

no way sna is an instant classic of a thread. always painfully otm.

matt p's rages are beautiful, like a flaming sword of an avenging angel

also his posts make me laugh a lot

I like Matt P but every time he posts my mind goes back to:

hey matt prick what is your (long standing) problem?

fwiw if anyone thinks my intention with this thread is anything less than 100% loving and sincere then you're mistaken and fuck you

Lol at the armand's post though.

classic dude

the only poster I've ever suggest-banned, fact fans

same here, someone posted something like "c'mon matt your zing game is better than this" which made me wonder if people were mixing up the Matts again

yay matt p!

LOL, I had a rolling calendar appointment to sb Matt P every 6 months, just to make sure it stayed fresh.

What is all this sb talk, it's the fp era now

Posi vibes only for ilx's internet tryhardmen

Matt p is cool I think

also his music mixes are good as heck imho

secretly i'd like to think we'd be pals if we knew each other irl

more like matt pee

he doesn't think much of me, but there are so many in that camp i'm uncertain of the details.

i'm kinda the opposite of this , i usually disagree with matt p (and elmo! and lots of others) but i still like em plenty

dunno about low-level bully

matt p, are you there? it's me, elmo

good guy, ilx could some more matt p style real talk

you guys!

matt pretzels

<3 <3

do you have funny stories about Mormons to share?

much love for Matt P!

He's a good one, he is.

right back at all of you. elmo we are definitely pals. ramble on am0n. nothing funny about Mormons except when they're essing my d.

*farts*

I thought he'd keep it classy by staying off of his own thread

But no

matt p is choice but i'm glad i don't share a bathroom with him

he's decided to hate me and i don't know why; i can't recall ever interacting w/ him on ILX

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq3abPnEEGE

just FP'd the 3 month old frogbs post where he said he FP'd matt p

good guy, ilx could some more matt p style real talk

agree with this. he called Aimless "pure mainsplain" the other day and i was like, fuck yes

hi matt p *kiss*

generally chooses his targets well, except when the target is *u*

he's decided to hate me and i don't know why; i can't recall ever interacting w/ him on ILX

This is trademark Matt P. Strikes out of nowhere like a viper. I went through the same thing. You gotta be just like "fuck it. whatever. I love this jerk." Because yeah he's a jerk, but he's an American classic.

i like matt p except when he gets all whiny privcrew qq moar

matt p roxx u r all gay

i wish

calling randos gay is not acceptable. ban this mealworm for life

u r so dum

haha "mealworm"

http://www.nyworms.com/images/mealworm%20lifecycle.JPG

hi matt, let me buy you a virtual beer and you can explain to me why I am so hateful

no

p.s. you aren't hateful you're just garbage

those are good punk rock lyrics

as long as they are the only lyrics

"you aren't hateful, you're just garbage" b/w "die"

i'm sure i'll come around

eventually

not surprised that passive-aggression combined with a tendency to get really mad about things that are not all that substantial makes for one of ILX's most beloved posters

ok, not gonna cite W Allen line about Socrates

i stand by matt p in these trying times

I'm not standing with the guy who said someone else should be raped. That's a place I'm not gonna stand. Personally.

Matt is the fucking man, don't give a fuck about any of his detractors.

Unlike other fierce ilx zingsters he doesn't only pick easy targets or pander to consensus. Don't love the recent controversial post but still. I admire his independence.

lol morbz + aimless- really obscure targets

Yeah but he does it in a way that he knows most of ilx won't support.

"i hope you get raped" *is* pretty challopsy

he attacked morbz for not being sensitive enough to rape victims (ironically by wishing rape on him) - how is that not ilx consensus, just w/ more profanity? ilx loves this kind of righteous indignation shit.

we really need to break this post down and critically analyze it some more

'admire his independence' like he's fking orwell or something, jesus christ

treezy that's fucked up

morbs was otm about me being a dense and hateful drama queen, but i don't really care.

aimless rarely gets called out, he's usually so dorky and benign, but when he starts making absurd inductive leaps to get to these grandfatherly bromides that are just by-the-numbers misogyny, it really grinds my gears.

i hope you all get raped. *bows*

i hope you all get raped. *bows*

Bahahaha, LOL! *wipes away tears of win* Going to hell for laughing at this one, but damned if it wasn't worth it.

whatever fag

Imagine someone who actually has been sexually abused reading this thread.

can't, the sound of your insect legs scuttling through it is deafening rn

for the record, my mom was raped as a child, and this kind of patriarchal bullshit destroyed her. i am a product of that, so that explains my emotional pitch in that thread. ultimately i agree with mordy that it (probably) isn't a productive approach. i do get frustrated by the same people towing the same line on thread after thread. this pov always gets called crazy when it raises its voice, and i'm guilty of the crime of copping out by going "jokes" because my courage is weak, but some part of me wishes that maybe it can still make a dent if it's sharp enough.

i was sexually abused as a child and an insanely stupid piece of shit like you telling people to get raped is pretty much the last human on the planet i would want advocating for me. I can't imagine why the mods let you just say that stuff and laugh it off, but there's nothing good about you or what you're posting. you're rotten and awful

I'm not laughing it off, and between that and the number of FP's racked up today, 3 day temp ban.

i stand by ass hunger in these trying times

what the fuck is wrong with everybody

late capitalism

otm, everyone but matt p

Nice dismissal of the concept of being sensitive to rape victims as "righteous indignation shit" upthread, good looks all round everyone

Hope you're OK, Matt P; looking forward to seeing you on your return. You're way better than this.

xp i'm not the one who expressed my sensitivity by wishing rape on ppl. makes u think maybe it's not about the sensitivity at all!

whatever fag

No, Matt was the one who did that. You were the one who did that thing that I said. I know this from reading and being able to hold two thoughts in my head at once.

my pt wasn't that any sensitivity towards rape victims is indignant righteous shit- just this particular manifestation (and examples like it where in the rush to condemn u out-ass the person ur looking down upon)

it's called posturing

monumental post:

ty

mattp u are a human of passion

i regret all of the stupid times i have expressed death wishes to people i don't know on the internet and would like to not do that any more, not that i regret the sentiment so much as the attention-grabbiness of saying it and the tendency it has to de-legitimize the arguments of better people who care enough to engage.

C'mon you don't regret all the times

It was a little much, even sentiment wise...

neat

(skims thread) ...oh

matt p serious question what initially got me on your apparent enemies list

you aren't

everybody starts on the list. you get taken off the list through good works.

or pumpkin cookies. your choice.

Wait so who was "Derping 2" then or am I just taking a pun unnecessarily personally

sorry

lol at the idea that a poster literally inviting other posters to ogle pj harvey isn't sexist. oh that wasn't his intentions, who gives a fuck.

it's ok, idly insulting stuff happens on the internet all the time without much behind it, was just wondering if there was a reason

idek where i am on matt's list nowadays, think we made peace but then i liked hey qt too much? one can only strive to be better

i do want matt p to like me because he's a good poster who's usually right, and i don't feel vulnerable in saying so

haa <3 ya imago

aw <3 i'm glad i got drunk and spoke with candour

fwiw i thought matt had been in p inspiring form since last return

at least wins elides his aggressive ill feelings

never not in inspiring form

i don't see why we can't all get along, if everyone joined forces we could rule for ten thousand years.

aw. evan, i'm definitely sorry to you for that whole attack. inappropriate. might as well say i'm also sorry to everyone i upset with the 'get raped' b.s. in the woody allen thread. totally inappropriate.

it's a repeat thing and it's not working for me. i've committed to work on this irl, ilx shouldn't be an exception. la lechera nailed it really, thanks.

Thanks Matt.

for all those who don't get why matt p is an essential presence here, I will c&p an example of his brilliance

i see what mordy is talking about, a particular kind of pride in load-bearing physical or social work, of being a provider, and sense its effects on a lot of men i encounter. or maybe just men who are close to me. i think about it re: my own father a lot lately. it's sort of the interface of capitalism to family in my experience, a dosing of everyone through patient zero. of course i don't think this experience can be cleanly separated along gender lines or talked about independently of class or race. while acknowledging that the experience of women / trans / immigrant people who do this kind of work is much more precarious and in need of a basic safety net that i most certainly have, i still think it's important to think about how these structures affect us in our own privileged lives so we can do the right math and change our actions in various ways. it seems that the kind of resentment rife in MRA types is a symptom of the inability to do this, and rather than asking "why" of themselves they're blaming others reifying the same ugly power structures already in place that do the damage to them just as it does the damage to the already powerless. but privilege pissing contests (sorry) are helpful only to a point. maybe a question to ask is, how do we transfer pride in the kind of self-sacrifice men do for the families they simultaneously shut themselves off from to pride in being accountable to these inter-tribal relationships as such, plus reestablishing some kind of basic pride in courting relationships with others outside their tribe? (realize this is 'there' in other cultures. why should 'white western' culture be different? why not stop treating it with the exceptionality it is always making for itself?). pride in enlarging one's family, basically, in being ambassadors, not conquerors. how do we harness men's sense of gender identity to make gentle guardianship, not against other groups of people as such, but against dangerous behavior a priority? what would that mean? there seem to be lots of ways men can be (limited, non-omniscient) positive and non-violent gendered actors in socially productive ways where values are inclusivity, diversity, respect, mutual learning, wildness, the other, the unknown, the mysterious, the culturally significant, etc.

i found the question in this piece (http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2014/10/15/male_allies_confusing_for_feminism.html) on being strong, but not to dominate, an interesting one that was maybe dismissed too quickly by the author. obviously physical strength as a socially positive trait for men in white supremacist patriarchal capitalist society is one that is in dire need of being balanced with a "ton" of other traits that men are failing at. but i don't think it needs to be dismissed, just qualified in a number of ways, that strength for strength's sake is actually ok and good, it doesn't have to be harnessed to any psychotically 'productive' domineering force, it can be inward-looking, it should be available to and encouraged for women, for queer and trans people alike. men should be able to take pride in various aspects of their bodies, which have properties that exist nebulously along a gender spectrum. one shouldn't be diminished just because others need burnishing. in general i think we should be more honest and encouraging about what we do value, what is building and sustaining us, and use that to ask how we can keep doing so only much better for more people with the courage to change behavior that is destroying ourselves and others. xps
