Fever_Discordia: OK well at least you denounce the MRA sentiment on that 'Mammoth' site - It was interesting to see if you were going to come out in support or not, if nothing else...
RWarehall: Actually, I'm much less worried about the article on the Mammoth site. They are what they are just like Return of Kings is what it is.
What concerns me far more is the Daily Dot, choosing to link an article from a feminist site and seemingly just rewriting said article. I also do not like some of the distortions...
For example...the quote...
"So far, the film has a 98 percent "fresh" rating at Rotten Tomatoes,
with even its only rotten reviewer conceding that it's "visually spectacular." Now read the one review and tell me how you get conceding it's visually spectacular out of this...
http://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/going-out/film/mad-max-fury-road-review-5680838 For those who don't readand follow links, the visually spectacular line reads this...
"The result is noisy, explosive and visually spectacular but depressingly hollow."

So I guess to be clear, I'm not actually denouncing the anti-MRA sentiment on the Mammoth site at all. It is a site specifically designed with the goal to mock MRAs. It tells you exactly what it is doing and does it. Good for them. The concerning part is when mainstream journalists link to and use said mocking as some sort of evidence of anything...
The Daily Dot should be the one called to task...

And for the record, I hope Fever just misspoke when talking about the "MRA sentiment on the Mammath" site. As the Mammoth site is an anti-MRA site that wrote an article criticizing a blog on the MRA site "Return of Kings". You'd know this if you actually followed the links and read the articles. Else, Fever was engaging in his usual trolling put-down attempts. As to why any other site is reporting on a MRA/Anti-MRA back and forth is beyond me...
LOL just from the name I thought they were serious - It seems they chose the name 'We Hunted the Mammoth' to take the piss but I it was too close to the name of real MRA sites like 'Return of Kings' to really stand out as satire! *bookmarked all the same*
I think its most probable that The Daily Dot thought the butt-hurt based comedy would be good for a few clicks more than anything though...
