I sense an awful lot of repressed homosexuality here. The only men who really hate women this much are hopelessly closeted gays. Step out, boys. No one's going to judge you for that. Only for your stupidity otherwise.

"the only men who really hate women this much are hopelessly closeted gays."

i think that's a very lame generalization.

I'm stunned. Jewel has bad teeth? My life doesn't make sense anymore.

A complete waste of time written by a complete waste of skin.

Okay, how about this one -- the only guys who talk about shooting their wads this much are hopelessly closeted gays.

This is the least funny thing I've read all week. Including the news.

Would somebody who really likes Vice explain to me how this is any different, quality of writing aside?

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Saturday, 24 May 2003 17:19 (twenty-two years ago)

the biggest disappointment about this was how uninspired it was. I hope they didn't actually bother with multiple drafts. John's post reaffirms I probably won't ever be opening Vice anytime soon.

Are you saying Vice is better or worse than this? ;)

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Saturday, 24 May 2003 17:44 (twenty-two years ago)

My apologies, reo.

They're either pathologically closeted gays (and I place emphasis on the *pathological* part -- I'm talking Adolph Hitler, here) or total retards who are well aware they'll never get laid, and are viciously acting out on that.

― justin s., Saturday, 24 May 2003 21:32 (twenty-two years ago)

But Anthony! All the cool people like Vice! It lets them say "nigger" and feel all po-mo about it!

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Saturday, 24 May 2003 21:51 (twenty-two years ago)

And "faggot," too!

While I vehemently disagree with what they were saying, I must admit the line "made me sick to my pants" was borderline clever.
But where do they get this idea that the male members of the backup band do all the writing? Huh? They never even ATTEMPT to back up that accusation.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Saturday, 24 May 2003 23:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Folks, they want you to get pissed off at them. So I'm going to thumb my nose at them by ignoring them.

There's actually less of this sort of women-hating ...thing in the alt.sex.stories.* heirchey than you'd think. (It helps that the two most influential critics there are/were women.)

When I say "nigger" and "faggot" I don't feel po-mo about it. But besides, that little article custos posted - I didn't get past paragraph two. I know these people. I work with them, sometimes. I have no use for their attitudes about women. It's a self-destructive cycle of really pathetic men, lap dancers, and then more pathetic men, and more lap dancers, and eventually you wind up with slavery all over again. Fuck this train of thought.

1. Words are words. If you want to kick my ass come and do it. I also throw the bird at people. WHOOOO.

2. People who seriously think this way about women and are willing to write about on a public forum (the internet), even in a humorous sense, are just bad news and I hope they've grown up.

Do you mean you work with people like this, or do you personally know the actual writers on that site?

I doubt they have. If they had, they would have taken it down the instant they realized how depressingly infantile they really were.

i don't know... any time i've ever had a look (to be honest it's been a long time since i visited usenet) there weren't even what you could call stories, just stuff like that article... somebody telegraphing the outline of their incest/snuff/whatever obsession. the most vicious aspect was the total lack of imagination or any kind of sense they were telling a story.
