“If you’re going to demonize the word [ gamer], then demonize ‘feminism’ too,” wrote one reader with the display name I’m a Gamer, “because it’s been hijacked by radicalists trying to subjugate men.”
"radicalists"?

A meme that I have seen often in MRA/Redpill/ROK/Gamergate/random other black hold internet comment threads is "I think feminism achieved some good once when it was just fighting for equal rights for women, but now the RADICAL feminists have ruined everything." It's very much parallel imo to people who claim to be for civil rights but you know that was a thing we already sorted out and now these angry blacks keep playing the race card.

i don't think i've read anything by any of these guys where they've used the word feminist w/o throwing radical in front of it, which is SOP form of dismissing the interest of the other
― Clay, Saturday, 1 November 2014 01:52 (nine years ago) link
yeah I mean it's just a rhetorically defensive move "Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about the RADICAL feminists," but then everything remotely feminist gets termed "radical."
― my jaw left (Hurting 2), Saturday, 1 November 2014 02:16 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, especially given that ''this media artifact has worrisome gendered tropes'' has to be one of THE mildest feminist tendencies possible, it's like, just, gender studies 101 or high school advanced literature class stuff. If these clowns actually encountered a radical feminist I think their faces would melt off like Eaiders of the Lost Ark.

"Now I know what I am, I was worried because I thought I should be a feminist, but now I know I'm something better - an equalist"

Operation Light Up (AKA take the fight to Tumblr) is... kind of interesting, but the line "Twitter's 140 character limit means that it's totally unfit for discussion or refuting enemy arguments. It's a toy and distraction while the real conversation should be happening elsewhere, like the comments on news articles and youtube videos" is a vision into a screaming abyss.
