Whelp, Birds of Prey is officially the Ghostbusters 2016 of 2020. A movie that's only cared about by a pathetic group of social justice losers who refuse to abandon a completely insignificant sinking ship in the culture war. Sad.
Same, I am surprised he has not been accused as a sex pest yet like the rest of his kin.
Man, I completely forgot about Futrelle. That first blogpost was intensely salty.
He's still a very convenient figure, it'll take some time for that to happen.Same, I am surprised he has not been accused as a sex pest yet like the rest of his kin.
Really? I always assumed it was some Moviebob-esque jab about how MRAs are obsolete brutes who are mad that the world is passing them by, like the mammoths of old.Its a reference to some whiny MRA diatribe. Part in bold is the specific line.
Cat ladies and white knights want vibrators to have human rights if they're shaped like women. Next they're going to campaign to liberate Barbie dolls from slavery.
More accurately, we have the right attitude about it whereas Mr. Futrelle clearly doesn't. As a community, we're generally adept at pointing out the flaws in our people of interest, but moreover, we have fun and are under no illusions we're doing anything important except for the fulfillment of our own enjoyment. This guy seems to think his blog actually matters when, in fact, his content is entirely shaped by both his fellow travelers and the people he targets. He's a follower who learned a good grift.We do what he does but better.

On a defunct blog I found a great summary of what Futrelle's fans are like.
You see, like Catholics, they hold certain images to be sacred. In this case, the very platonic form of women ought not to be desecrated, heavens, no. Women are so special that their specialness even exudes into inanimate objects made in their image. To Futrelle's herd, a man using a fleshlight must be like shoving a crucifix up your ass in the middle of a full cathedral. Everybody who watches porn or thinks misogynistic thoughts is an iconoclast, a blasphemer against the Divine Feminine, and must face divine retribution.Cat ladies and white knights want vibrators to have human rights if they're shaped like women.

Is this the horseshoe theory version of men marrying anime pillows?
I'm amazed he hasn't been caught molesting underage girls yet or something, honestly. No man (and I use that term loosely) acts like David Futrelle unless he's a total slimeball who's overcompensating for something.You see, like Catholics, they hold certain images to be sacred.

Futrelle is awfully invested in cutting down other men to make himself look better in comparison. Pratting on about how other men are evil, and how women should count on him instead, because he's a benevolent and enlightened non-rapist. Kind of like those so-called Nice Guys whom he spends his every waking moment railing against.
It takes one to know one.
