This Roosh is a stupid jerk.
But have you actually read his article about "make rape legal"?
If you really take this seriously, could you message me? Because I have some magic beans for you to sell...

This strip is funny on several levels, especially with the supposed revelation that Rooshy-V lives in mommy's basement. I'm one to usually defend folks who have their views turned into hyperbolic nonsense for cheap laughs but this isn't that. Roosh is a jackass of the highest order and his views make a mockery of the man more than any satire could. I mentioned this before but I can't get past it, Roosh is one of the very few people I've ever heard about that I'd rather punch than have a conversation with.

EDIT: Removed because to be honest, getting into another moronic discussion about this shit is just stupid.

Out of curiosity, though - when's the crucifixion going to happen?

I don't get it. Is it some kind of political fart?
Throwback to an old Critical Miss strip where the facehugger is giving a lesson in a Dating Seminar.

Thank you for the clarification. I knew what the joke was, but it seemed like a random choice to use Alien monsters for it, so I initially brushed it off as a clumsy strip.

It isn't the point of the comic, is it?
It kinda is. You relegated this to being "demonised" for an "unpopular opinion." Not Grey and Correy.
I reread the comic. Someone said something that got someone angry. And when he repeated it he got someone else angry. So no, it isn't about someone doing something criminal. So I guess that's it and I'm out.
I'm sure Grey and Correy will take this under advisement and depict an actual rape, so that they can be assured you will have the correct response.

I'm really not getting where you're drawing the line, here. Rape is bad, but saying women should be raped isn't?

Wait...isn't that literally the entire point of coming to The Escapist? I'm confused...

Oh don't compare Johnathan Swift to this fucking hack. Johnathan Swift had a brain in his skull instead of extra bollocks. Johnathan Swift cared about the Irish and their plight, the point he was making was that the British was treating the Irish so poorly that they might as well just be eating babies, that is what he was satirizing. The joke moral of a Modest Proposal couldn't be farther away from what he actually thought.

Meanwhile Roosh's "Satire" of rape is suspiciously similar to his regular MO of "Women are inferior" and "women who have sex are only good as fleshlights" and "Democracy is bad because men don't have all the power anymore." All of which in articles posted on his website in the last month. So what the hell is he satirizing? That's the thing about satire. You have to actually satirize something. You can't just spew out whatever the hell you feel like and just say "Oh it was a joke," or "JK lol".

Oh and there's the fact that he only said it was satire after a massive backlash and even before that he told people not to get pissy over what he believed.

You say you want out but you still end with a hyperbolic comment.

Well which is it? Do you want to stop the conversation or do you want to ask rhetorical questions about things that obviously are blown out of proportion?

Well, I assume there will be many more pages to come in this thread.

Before people get mad, remember kids, it's just a video game... I mean comic strip. Anyone and anything can be made fun of. Even a prick from time to time.

Except that's not the point of the comic.

It's mocking Roosh for being found hiding out in his mom's basement.

You expanded this to the idea of demonisation because you didn't even know what you were talking about.

Also, he explicitly said that he was serious.
And it's in line with his other views and acts, some of which are illegal.

I was asking an honest question. I mean, it appears that people will continue repeating the same lies about the person himself, the groupthink 'opinion' of what he's said and written whether or not it's even vaguely true, and the rest of it. Logical conclusion of this train of 'thought' is to have the man lynched. So when's that gonna happen? :)

Now that you mention it, I do wonder what his parents think of him.

Like, are they proud? Do they eagerly tell their friends about how their son is making international news as an advocate of rape?
Eh I'm sure the parents are proud of their son, as parents tend to be. Even some women will accept this sort of mindset (rape thing aside, which I'm sure the guy can only put the spin on with his mom), like look at that Oregon militia stand off thing that just recently ended. There were a few women there who were all working behind the scenes doing the cooking and cleaning while the burly men were out their sticking it to the guberment. One of the women in an interview said something to the likes of... actually looking at my post history I have it elsewhere.

"But I'm a nobody," she said. She said she will stay at the refuge as a cook, "for as long as it takes. We women, we are helpers," said Bass. "That's how we are created, and that's what we do here."

Now for most men try bringing this up with your gal and you'll earn a night on the coach, but these types of people, men and women, still do exist even in the modern world. His parents/mom I'd say a good bet is one of them. Actually I don't know about Roosh but these types of guys usually have domineering stay at home moms, who perhaps don't think any girl is good enough for their little angle.

First of all, you have done an incredibly horrible job of disproving the "lies" around Rosch. There's a mountain of evidence, apparently him even saying that he meant what he wrote in a forum post. You saying "He said it was satire" is a heavily insubstantial defense. So either bring something more to the table or quit calling them lies, because you're failing to convince anyone about the integrity of a misogynistic rapist.

Second of all, I hope you're joking because when was the last time there was a lynching in America? That wasn't done to a black person?

Third of all, the smile isn't cute.
