    No evidence of the claim made that video games lead to violence. Should there be a counter-petition perhaps?

    Whenever there’s a petition, people chose to ignore it. Rockstar doesn’t give a f~~~ about what people think no matter what the popular opinion. Even if it had 300,000 signatures, they probably wouldn’t give a s~~~.

    Agreed – I ignore them myself. Problem is that this device has been hijacked for just about everything and it has caused businesses/organisations to do the bidding of these modern Temperance League puritans. I’m sure Rockstar will keep filling orders no matter what, even if some large retailers drop the product. Its the principle that gets on my nerves, and I understand there’s a practical danger in upholding the principle. I get the dangers of counter-activity creating more publicity but it doesn’t stop the deluge. Just have to hope, I suppose, that the general population gets a raging dose of “compassion fatigue” – or should that be “whiner fatigue”.

    In the future, any process, thought, word or object that doesn’t specifically benefit women at the expense of men will be banned.  The marriage strike will cost men big time.  Hades hath no fury like that of a woman scorned.

    Hades (or hell) hath no fury like that of a woman scorned.

    I hate that expression and vote to have IT banned. I’ve heard this all my life starting in the 7th grade English class, and I swear to Christ it’s something women say because they think it somehow gives them license to behave like a ridiculous hateful c~~~s and get away with it.

    He went out with another girl for a drink?
    “Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned”.
    And then they make music videos about it.

    That f~~~ing “Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned” quote makes women think it’s their “right” to key your car — even when nobody “scorned” them. I swear I want the mask ripped off this pretense and every c~~~ who carries on like she’s on some warpath for no goddam reason busted. Sub-consciously they run around with this pussy pass in their heads and think they can do whatever they want with no consequence – like they are accountable for NOTHING.

    Who lets them get away with this? I sure as f~~~ won’t.

    Like who the f~~~ “scorned” these c~~~s by inventing a video game that she doesn’t like? They feel “scorned” by f~~~ing EVERYTHING. A scientist landed a probe on an asteroid 300 million miles from Earth.,…. and some stupid feminist c~~~ in another country feels “scorned” by the f~~~ing SHIRT he’s wearing. No. We’re not gonna let women get way with this s~~~. Start a petition on calling every stupid bitch out on this kind of behavior.

    If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

    Why won’t they have other violent or even any sort of destructive item banned? Like, say, Carry Underwood’s song just mentioned by KeyMaster? Grand Theft Auto V is a story about a life, and it’s not atypical or fantasy. Carry is literally advocating violence against men.

    I played Bully and I really loved it. To me, it was an accurate and righteous portrayal of a young man’s life. The game gets it right. Here is a list of things about which the game nailed correctly:

    1. Jimmy is attacked by bullies immediately in the game.
    2. The principal is completely apathetic to the bullying.
    3. The female’s dorm is perfectly immaculate with a gorgeous chandelier and the boy’s dorm is ramshackle and dilapidated.
    4. The psychopath is regarded by authority as the ideal character and chastises those who criticize him (teachers and staff are stupid).
    5. Violence stems from an impoverished home (Jimmy is violent, his mother hates him; The Preps are insecure because they’re New Money, but are also subjected to violence at home, which is a contrast from how society views things)
    6. Schools are cliques
    7. If you watch the townies, you’ll see their clique attitudes carry over into their adult lives. They’re exactly the same as they’ve always have been.
    8. The girls get away with absolutely everything, with the exception of the Preppy girl, the head cheerleader, who is revealed to be a self aware insecure woman (and potentially a NOWALT because she’s cognizant). Notice how it’s the one who’s growing is the one who gets abused.
    9. While we’re on the subject of the abuse victims being the only ones who grow: Jimmy grows, Peter grows, the alcoholic teacher grows, and so does the principal (and only after the psychopath whom he loved proves him a total idiot, like children always prove of their teachers)
    10. In fact, again, teachers and staff are idiots, have their issues they take out on their kids (child abuse), and cannot be trusted
    11. The Hot Teacher goes for the most messed up, the Alcoholic.

    The Moral Guardians said that the game promotes bullying, but that’s ridiculous. They’re really grasping at straws. Bullying was seen as a tool to strengthen character. Of course this is stupid, and the logical outworking of this is that it really hurt some characters (Jimmy’s sluterific girlfriend, who was abused by the Pervert), and that the whole school fell apart. It stems from the ridiculous ideas of the incompetent and abusive school system.

    I think that the game was sympathetic to boys and shows that which they suffer. The Moral Guardians never said anything about the suffering of Jimmy at all. Shows just how moral they really are. I think that they were challenged to see that which Jimmy would suffer (which is actually not very unique to Jimmy at all) and needed to squelch this so that boys don’t begin to think about their situation (Gee, abusing people really screws them up). This game has a philosophy, and it’s so honest and real with it’s graphical representation.

    Nonetheless, it’s hypocritical and downright sad to criticize the game saying it promotes bullying, or is misogynistic when it’s still a very gynocentric game:

    1. Kissing a girl restores health (this also demonstrates how men view women, that their kisses are so good they’re magical)
    2. There’s a perverted man, but not a perverted woman, and he’s characterized as needing porn
    3. The head nerd is a pervert too
    4. Girls are acted upon, where as men are actors
    5. There are no perverted females, they’re seen as trustworthy (even though items 6 and 7 demonstrate perverted females, but nothing happens in the game, they get away with it)
    6. Date rape by a woman (Edna)
    7. Child molestation (possibly), by the gonk girl. In certain situations you can see the gonk enjoying herself in the bathroom stall. Keep paying attention and a little boy is seen running out of the bathroom. Nothing ever happens.
    8. Hitting a girl or a child will make prefects appear magically and bash you from all directions
    9. Just about all the drama is driven around a female in one form or another, either in Jimmy’s sluterific girlfriend’s revenge, the hot teacher’s adoration of the alcoholic, the greaser drama of the blue pill greaser gang leader and his unfaithful user girlfriend (whom Jimmy kisses, and he never finds out), and on and on

    It’s just so typical. Even though this game portrays women how men see them, the Moral Guardians can’t even give the game credit for what it is. Maybe that’s the problem that they have with the game. I’ve never played it so I can’t say, but it’s a window into a man’s life. The main character does things that aren’t manly, but are taught to him, either through expectation (I expect you to become a criminal), or through gender roles (a man should be tough, and take on all the other men). This game appeals to men for that reason though, that they can be tough and take on all the other men, to shun authority and take risks to do big things with stealth and skill. However, isn’t this what men are taught to do? Aren’t we supposed to go to war and fight (thereby killing other men who just want to go home to their families too)? So, it’s very hypocritical.

    Again, Carry’s song is exactly a major theme in Grand Theft Auto V, reckless and thoughtless violence. Isn’t this song teaching men and women to be violent? Women are seen as morally pure, so therefore, if a women does it, she demonstrates proper and healthy behavior. Thus violence is OK.

    I suspect that men feel large amounts of anger. We all experience major degrees of abuse all our lives directed at us just for being males. Women are taught they can do anything and it’s OK, but men are highly criticized. Not only is this just that same theme, but it’s also inspecting the life of a man, and how the common tropes of our culture play out, and finally, it’s an outlet for male anger. He gets to drain some of his anger by acting like a criminal for a while.

    Likewise I think there are more themes in this. I suppose that the Moral Guardians believe that removing this game will give men nothing to do, and go back to work. It’s based on the belief that these are basement dwelling neck beards who are worthless. They want to take away all outlets to manipulate their behavior and control them. It’s another form of emasculation and based on the idea that men are crippled psychologically and need women. Our society goes as far to verbally abuse the men who aren’t attractive and and sought for dates, by blaming them for being frustrated and angry that they don’t get dates, and then calling them dangerous just for going with out dates for so long. It’s really bloody sick.

    Finally, those neck beards are skilled in STEM, but women doesn’t go for those who are intellectual, but those with money or popularity, even though any normal man can see what comes next. If you date an idiot, you’ll have an idiot, his money or popularity has nothing to do with it. Those women could have dated the neck beards and he would have entered into STEM, to be paid well, but instead, she went for the football star, who works at Charles Les Schwab (to work on the Benz the nerdy boy purchased with cash), or the rich boy (who can’t pick up a hammer), or worse, the total jerk without money or popularity. These are the real reasons why the neck beards are angry: total hypocrisy.

    There is but one thing a man must remember.  I’m going to outline this for you now.  No one is going to tell you this, but a fellow MGTOW. The literature, articles and books that might help you realize the truth won’t appear on your reading lists or grade school, high school or college course requirements.  Only the books, songs and shows that align you with gynocentric thinking will you be presented with.

     

    The most important book ever written was…dah…dah…dah…The Manipulated Man.  Even scholars debunk this book as parody.  Why?  What would happen if all men took this book seriously?  Feminists, conservatives and white nights/captain save-a-hos all agree that The Manipulated Man was a work of prose.  What greater lie could ever have been told?

     

    Men – all throughout your life, you will be manipulated.  Not just by women, but by naive men, movies, books, and songs.  All of the world is set to destroy naive men and boys.

     

    MGTOW exist for a reason.  Don’t take that reason lightly.  MGTOW tell the truth.  Everyone else tells lies.

    My number one rule is to pursue the truth no matter where it takes me. It’s on my reading list, though I might prioritize it. I need to clean my head of lies as much as possible.

    gynocentrism.com is an excellent resource and explains how we got here. It’s cultural, and deeply embedded. In fact, you can see how we organize our culture, decide right ans wrong, pursue science and what great things are worthwhile. Women are now our religion.

    @pascal in Pastels,

    Thanks for the tip, gynocentrism.com is a very interesting site.

    Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

    I used to play Vice City and San Andreas all the time and I didn’t turn into a violent maniac.

    Bully was awesome too, way better than I thought it would be, you could go to the amusement park and drive go karts, what could be better? Some of the missions were quite memorable, like the one where you had to wreck the Santa claus thing and you were constantly being attacked by his elves.

    I thought Bully was awesome, too!  I just found my copy of it last night, and was thinking of booting it up again and playing it… 😛

    I might actually buy the game this time, just because it was so unbelievably awesome.
