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! -takyonThe 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!
Takyon is an incel! Disgusting, Bro!

There are quite a few alt-liters and incels around here, that has been obvious for a while. Is using the word gentleman a popular catchphrase or something? Or are you just getting trolled? You got the resident troll and nutter to both show up here, guess you hit a nerve.

I was also curious about what the Supreme Gentleman was. Urban Dictionary to the rescue [urbandictionary.com]!
The Supreme Gentleman seems to be a man who is thoroughly out of touch with Iron John and hopelessly misguided by postmodernism....
Perhaps he feels the disorientation and inclination towards insanity that a person of one gender feels when compelled to identify as the other gender (in at least a spiritual manner, as postmodernism seeks to coerce the male spirit into female spiritual form, which is an impossible task) and runs straight into the brick wall of attempting to attract heterosexual women, who are attracted to masculinity, on the basis of coerced, inauthentic femininity. See also trans trenders, which are a different expression of postmodern epic fail.

I look at this again, and it could be mistaken for transphobia. So let me be clear so that the Germaine Greers of the world won't be tempted to run with a half-assed analysis that has the logical conclusion of refuting second wave feminism, placing woman back upon the pedestal as the exceptional gender. (Postmodernism I think is not capable of dealing with pedestalization.) The thesis in effect here is patriarchal transphobia, which seeks to coerce the female spirit (of trans women) into male spiritual form. The negation of the thesis is postmodern not-transphobia, which seeks to coerce the male spirit (of cis men) into female spiritual form. Thus again we seek the negation of the negation to get ourselves out of this mess. Of course, I am limited here to those assigned the male gender at birth and did not try to generalize.
Ok, stick a fork in me—I'm done.

Uh...isn't that basically the same thing the culture warriors of yesteryear were saying about gays? Like, "They don't just want acceptance! They're breaking our culture and the only way they see fit to do that is to completely reverse roles!" Because I've never felt like a man or like I'm trying to be one for being gay; it's just natural love of other women, it was there before I even knew gay was a thing. This looks like the same old reactionary fear-screeching applied to the next frontier of queerness, if you ask me...
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...
