Me Being Obnoxious to Obnoxious People: Part 6
Its been an interesting couple of weeks. The funny was forced to be pushed off last week thanks to a few changes in getting published on new platforms. But that no longer will prevent me from the silly, the shocking, and the bold. I bring you three more individuals that needed to be out in their place.
Person 1: An Anti Semite
Antisemitism is everywhere in this day and age. On one hand this is pretty sad and a tad terrifying given the fact that these people vote. On the other, nothing gives this Jew satisfaction in shutting these special kinds of stupid people. Especially when they are in agreement with me on most political issues like this individual.
Anyway, this individual was tabling at the University of Central Florida. As you may have noticed, I seem to run into lots of crazy people in this area. I came up to the organization this person was a part of and talked to them about issues unrelated to Israel. However, given the fact that anti Israel people like to tell people this at every given opportunity, I got to hear some tried and try anti Israel rhetoric. Notably the, “The Jews need to get out of Palestine” bullshit.
Trying to be civil, I pointed out that “Israel is a country, Palestine is a region and another name for the Levant.” Clearly this did not convince, as this individual started accusing me of being a hypocrite murderer of children and imperialist bastard. I ignored the Ad Homonym after being called these things frequently by Antisemites.
However, my last rebuttal is why this encounter made the post. “Did you know that Israel is the only chance the Palestinians have of living? That as soon as they outlived their usefulness, the neighboring Arab Nations will just kill them?” I asked them. Clearly appalled and confused she started shouting at me. But I was ready. “In fact, right here is a news article where Saudi Arabia and its allies have pledged the beginnings of friendship with Israel and have condemned Hamas, which in case you have forgotten, is a terrorist group.” I had been reading an article from CNN and showed it to her. Such perfect timing news media!
Person 2: A Tharja Hater
This person also was at UCF and I encountered them in the same day as the Anti Semite above. For those who have no idea what the title of this part refers to, I will be glad to explain. Tharja is a character from the hit series Fire Emblem. She gets a lot of negative criticism, notably from web forums such as Reddit because of her personality. For reasons that I have not been able to figure out, these forums really have a problem with the Yandere Archetype.
Tharja like all Yanderes, has a creepy obsession with a specific character. In this case, the main character of Fire Emblem Awakening. This causes her to stalk him, count how many times he rolled over in his sleep and other things that normal people would never pay attention to. While this is undeniably creepy, it fits in line with the archetype. If this was the only aspect to Tharja’s personality, I could understand the hate she gets. Unfortunately for the person that I encountered they tried to make this point. Also unfortunately for them, I am a huge Tharja fan and have spent time trying to understand this character.
Pointing out the many support conversations that are accessible in Fire Emblem that prove that besides her Yandere tendencies, Tharja is an incredibly complex character, this individual seemed to be taken aback. Perhaps they assumed that none would disagree with them. I pointed out, most profoundly the relationship she has with her daughter from the future Noire. The fact that she refuses to teach her dark Magic after regretting all the terrible experiments she forced the poor girl through is pretty telling of what lies under the surface.
The person stormed off apparently not willing to have any further conversation with me.
Person 3: Men’s Rights Activist
Two things of not with this last post. This response occurred because of an article I got published in the Odyssey Online titled : Scarlet V, the Ultimate Taboo of Toxic Masculinity. The second point is that this article touched a nerve with a lot of groups. Many of those problems were justified in what their criticisms were. However, the anger that came from this specific individual was not.
A little more background. Men’s Right Activists are Anti Feminists by another name. They believe that feminism at its core is a movement that seeks to weaken men and ultimately make that half of the population sex slaves. They adhere to conspiracy theories that Feminists support men being sexually abused and other foolish nonsense.
This person was appalled that I would write about Male Virginity, which is a bit amusing considering i wrote the article as a result of the taboo nature. Proving that this person was incapable of even reading the title of the article, they attacked me by pointing out that Male Virgins are proof of natural selection not working. That these men should not exist in the first place. That they are weak individuals who let women walk all over them.
I simply posted the link to the article again on the facebook post where he was attacking me which did two things. One, it forced him to see the article that had made him so angry in the first place. Second, it allowed the possibility of others finding it
More Fun Next Time
Stay tuned for the next week. There are many angry people in the world and with the addition of new outlets for my writing, plenty of chances for more triggered and obnoxious people.
