Although Matt Forney has taken his leave of the "manosphere" by slamming the metaphorical door in the faces of his former chums, he still has a few words to say on "the futility of online communities."
He first explains that he recently deleted a sure-fire winner of a post because it wasn't up to his own quality standards, and he "realized that writing filler pieces like that would dilute the quality of my brand."
Yes, Matt Forney has a marketable identity that he must protect!
"Excessively writing/reading about politics or feminism or current events is the intellectual equivalent of slicing your dick with a penknife while you jerk off."

My goodness, that does sound unpleasant.
"Furthermore, sticking around in the same stagnant ideological pool warps you mentally. The water becomes dirty with feces and piss. The normal people [like Matt Forney?] slowly edge away, leaving behind the weirdos, who further retreat into their weirdness."
This all sounds so... so familiar somehow. I didn't follow Ferdinand Bardemu (Matt's former incarnation) In Male Fide, being blissfully unaware of his / its presence at the time, but didn't Matt quit that blog too because he had grown to detest his bottom-feeding followers? I am beginning to detect a pattern here...
According to the new'n'improved Matt Forney, continuing to read blogs that reinforce one's already entrenched political or social position is "just masturbation."
That's probably true, but so what? If the $4 billionish porn industry proves anything, it's that people really enjoy masturbating.
"Online communities are useful for two purposes: learning and making connections with like-minded guys in the real world."
And, I may add, for wasting an idle twenty minutes making fun of little twerps whose intellectual pretensions are only exceeded by their malice.

ReplyDeleteWell, you can't really argue with this statement. The only problem is that Matt moves from shithole to shithole instead of finding fresh ponds.
But how exactly has he left the manosphere? For as long as he posts hate filled rants against women and spewing red pill nonsense he will have an audience within the manosphere. Telling his readers they're a bunch of idiots never works, he'll just get loads of fawning comments from people who just know he isn't talking about them, just all those other losers who aren't them.
ReplyDeleteThe only way for Forney to quit the manosphere is if the manosphere quits him.
