SoylentNews is people

Takyon is an incel! Disgusting, Bro!

Journal by aristarchus

Yet another aristarchus submission has met it's appointed fate. Nothing surprising, but, there was a non-blank rationale field, highly unusual!

We're sorry, your submission "This online comic shows how pick-up artists morphed into the alt-right" was declined for the following reason:
All hail the Supreme Gentleman! -takyon

The editors felt it inappropriate for them to correct the issue themselves. Please feel free to correct the issue yourself and resubmit.

Of course, I think the entire point was that these are no Gentleman, and the Red Pillars need to get themselves over to The Art of Manliness website. And apparenty, this includes one of our more prolific editors? Cause for pause, Soylentils! What are we part of, here!

    Congratulations good sir on sucking more mod points out of the system!

    "Just more half-assed feminist propaganda."

    I'm going to have to give it the benefit of the doubt and contradict you.

    It was at least 5/8 assed.

    "If they don't understand why men do and say the things they do, and they most certainly do not, they don't need to be opining on them."

    I'm not convinced the thesis here is entirely spurious.

    Oversimplified, underdocumented, ok.

    But PUA is a real thing, and there does exist a minority of men who portray these negative stereotypes, and it's far from implausible to me that there's a link between PUA and the alt-right.

    A funny cartoon asserting it exists is no substitute for journalism documenting that at least for 2 or 3 people, such a link exists, however.
