The Amazing Atheist threatens rape to his enemies

[Lithp]

Lexikon, that's not really the point. Though he claims otherwise, most of his comment implied he believed the person was raped. Then he went on to, in explicit detail, try to make the person re-live the attack. That's pretty much as close as you can get to raping someone without doing anything illegal.

Oh, come on. It's not like TAA was actually going to rape that douche.

Lexikon, there are times when you really should reconsider hitting the "Send" button. -_-

Oh, come on. It's not like TAA was actually going to rape that douche.

...Seriously?

[Shane for Wax]

Oh, come on. It's not like TAA was actually going to rape that douche.

Hi, Rape Culture. How are you today?

[Da Rat Bastid]

Oh, come on. It's not like TAA was actually going to rape that douche.

Seconded. *scowls at Lex*

I was talking about the blogger...

[rageaholic]

Actually, the blogger he attacked did deserve it.  She was accusing men of being "rape defenders" for extremely ridiculous reasons.

I should clarify, the person I was talking about wasn't the one he threatened to rape, but the one he bashed in his hate feminism video.  He just gave that person a verbal bashing (though as always, he did go too far with his insults).  The one he not only threatened to rape but also tried to make her relive the attack did not deserve it, no matter how much of a troll they were.  That makes TAA nothing more than a complete monster.  Even if he does make good points in other videos.

Yeah, I'm sorry, I don't want to devote 20~ minutes to him.

Does anyone have a summary?

Whargarbl will do.

Basically his arguements about feminism based on a list on a blog he found.

Doesn't he relize that that one blogger doesn't represnt every feminist?

[Lithp]

True, but internet feminists are kind of like YouTube atheists: You pick one at random, you have a better-than-even chance that they're whargarbling.

[Cataclysm]

I'm pretty sure the "feminist" who wrote that blog was a one of a kind.

[VirtualStranger]

TAA ragequit, deleting his reddit account and most of the offending comments, so if you want to be horrified, here's a screencap. [Extreme Trigger Warning]

Since then, this has spread far beyond reddit. TAA has practically disgraced himself in front of the entire atheist/skeptic blogosphere.

A fun fact for you all: This guy is actually getting married this summer.

[Witchyjoshy]

Well, that was an impressive self-destruction on his part.

It's funny because he's going to blame everyone but himself for this.

Ah well, it wouldn't be the first time someone popular ended up making an ass of themselves and then becoming massively unpopular in a matter of weeks.

That moral blindness is standard MRA egocentrism; the whole premise of the pick-up artist is to find a way to manipulate other people into doing their sexual bidding.

The other element you’ll often see in these guys is rage at women’s sexuality: they get extremely upset at the idea of the object of their desires making independent sexual choices. Women are supposed to be either chaste and not being sexy at all, or they must submit to the man’s desires, servicing the man’s sexual needs by whatever methods the man dictates. A woman cheerfully flirting with her choice of a partner? She’s a hypocrite (because feminists are supposed to hate sex!) and she’s a ball-buster (because she’s not having sex with me!) and if ever she said “no” to a man, she must be demeaned and detested. Or possibly raped, just to teach her a lesson.

The only control issue here is who gets to control sex: do women get to be in complete charge of their own sexuality, or should they hand it over to the whims of men? And in their answers to that question, MRAs like this TJ jerk are fundamentally allying themselves with the patriarchal religions of Abraham.

I wanted to stand up and applaud when I read this part. PZ nailed it.

Lordernie wins my coveted Cool Person of the Week* Badge, which I just made up. I love the complete deadpan delivery with which she made AA look like a dumbass over & over again.

*=It's only a week because I can't remember anything further back than that.

[The Right Honourable Mlle Antéchrist]

For a moment, I read that as "Lexicon wins my coveted Cool Person of the Week Badge", and nearly spat out my dinner.
