Powerful White Supremacists Watched Powerpoint Presentations At A Marriott Then One Of Them Got Thrown Out Of The Bar Then They Went To Bed
— Famous Scotty Tonga (@ScottyTonga) April 23, 2015
Mostly harmless Scottish, per We Hunted the Mammoth:
A writer from Roosh Valizadeh’s terrible Return of Kings site recently got himself into a bit of trouble at a white power convention in Tennessee.
The problem wasn’t that the writer, one Blair Naso, didn’t fit in with the motley assortment of Hitler-lovers and former National Review writers who attended the 2015 American Renaissance conference, put on by an organization that actually has won itself an official “hate group” designation from the Southern Poverty Law Center for its virulent racism and its obsessive advocacy for a white “homeland.”…
The problem? Well, Mr. Naso got a wee bit drunk and started harassing women at a local bar. As Naso sheepishly admits in his ROK post…
A few young girls were being especially snarky. I knew they wouldn’t dance with me, but I decided to ruin their night anyway. I go up to them and say, “You’re fat, and I’m balding. Let’s dance.” They kept saying no, and I kept asking them, just to piss them off. One pushed me, and I pushed her back, and then the bouncer literally threw me out of the bar.
…. As [fellow attendee] Parrott evidently sees it, Naso’s actions don’t necessarily reflect badly on the white race, “since the guy’s (arguably) not exactly white.”
Naso, for his part, insists that despite his “olive complexion” he has a “largely Scottish background.”…

This week’s “Silicon Valley” episode had “negging” used as a corporate negotiating strategy and, hilariously, had it backfire horribly in the end. One of the reasons I like the show is that it illustrates how ridiculous the dick-swinging “alpha male” characters really are.

But the writer repeats his or herself…
A true charmer.
And they let him in the group? Clearly a bunch of socialists and melanin lovers.

I was literally just reading Mary Sue Blog. I don’t know how I found it, but I’m come to love it. It’s a great blog. As a bit of a non-gaming nerd, it’s a great blog for all nerdy girls everywhere :-)
Found this on there today. I saw a twitter blurb about it, but gave it no mind. Reading the full story though made me really SMH as both Chris Evans and Jeremy Renner, but especially after apologies were issued by both actors (well apology by Evans, and more of the “non-apology” type apology from Renner…ugh)

@lamh36: It was a joke they acknowledged was in bad taste, some sour grapes about a person who isn’t even real. Do we really expect those in the public eye to behave perfectly all the time?
lamh36
@Kropadope: it’s about the protrayals of women characters in the comic book universe and male driven comic and gaming universe.
I can certainly see why they were in hot water.
people take about sexism and slut shaming culture all the time in tv and film. There is already some talk I’ve the sexualizaton of female characters in comix book genre in general.
So saying because its about a fictional character it’s no big deal doesn’t look at the larger problem of portrayals of women in that genre and the superhero realm
ETA: I’m not in some big uproar about it, but I can certainly see why the ladies at Mary Sue and the Internet has been abuzz about it
Kropadope
@lamh36: Responsible for the entire comic book industry, now, are they?
People say dumb shit. All the time. They know that shit they said was dumb. They’re hardly bringing about the downfall of civilization.

@Kropadope: No, but they are responsible for positively representing their own film. The reason female fans are angry is because we’re sick and fucking tired of this shit. We have one major female character in the Avengers. The fact that the co stars in the movie can’t be respectful about the character says a lot and is representative of a bigger problem of alienating the rapidly growing women audiences in that genre. I’m actually slightly more pissed at the character being labelled as a sidekick, because fans have been trying to get her in a standalone movie for years and the character is supposed to be an equal part of the team.
Plus, how often do we hear people talk shit about male characters’ sex lives?
And Renner is a passive aggressive ass. Evans at least seemed sincere.
Anne Laurie
@jomike: Naw, “black Irish” have really really pale skin to go with their pale eyes & brown-black hair. (Think Nixon or Joe McCarthy, with the perennial beard shadow.) But there’s a proto-Celtic gene strain with an “olive” honey-oak-colored complexion & pale eyes, like that Spanish Neanderthal or “Orange” John Boehner — that’s probably the ‘Scottish’ lineage Mr. Naso is leaning on, honestly or not.
For the record, both my parents were ‘black Irish’; blue-eyed & green-eyed dark brunettes. They produced a green-eyed redhead, a blue-eyed redhead, a blue-eyed Boehner-colored brownette, twin green-eyed freckly ash blondes, and one kid with their blue-eyed pale-skinned dark-haired phenotype. Predicting human phenotypes is worse than guessing what a calico cat’s kittens will look like!

Have found it of passing interest as a tidbit of information that, supposedly, the vast majority of slash fiction on the internet is written by females.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Ugh, that’s such a rotten feeling.

@Major Major Major Major: It’s interesting, but I’m reserving judgment until I can see where it’s going. Beyond that I don’t want to say much, because your writing style isn’t one that particularly appeals to me. Therefore, I’m hesitant to offer critique since it would not likely be all that relevant to how your intended audience would take it.
I want to emphasize that that’s not meant as negative criticism, just a divergence in taste. You certainly seem to know how to manipulate language to get it to do what you want, and that’s huge.

Umm, plenty. Wondering how Superman or the Hulk can safely do it. Batman sure gets around, bet he has an STD. Iron Man is a terrible husband.
Plenty of this type of thing is said about male characters. You may not hear about it, though, because no one gives a flying freaking fart. I would never have heard about this interview, even, if it weren’t for internet outrage.
