I read it. Now what?

The Youtube description is more embarrassing than anything this woman has ever done.

"THESE FIVE SECONDS OF RANDOM FOOTAGE ARE PROOF THAT GENDER STUDIES HAS DESTROYED SOCIETY FOREVER AND [goes on for three increasingly sad paragraphs]"

Published on Apr 30, 2016

"On April 25, 2016 I attended a panel called “The Triggering: Has Political Correctness Gone Too Far?” at UMass Amherst’s Bowker Auditorium to see conservative comedian Steven Crowder, writer Christina Hoff Summers, and Breitbart journalist/ professional provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos address radical feminism and its cancerous hold on campuses across America. The public discussion attracted some of the most horrific byproducts of extreme leftism I have ever seen.

The screaming meme you see before you today is a shining example of what happens when a generation of students is taught that it’s okay to trust their gender studies professor over actual stats and logic; To hold a need to be “safe” and comfortable over the natural curiosity to listen to other opinions, grow as an intellectual, and GOD FORBID, risk being proven wrong.

I have plenty of protest footage from the event to compile and upload soon, and I think doing so will help to give viewers an accurate glimpse of the living hell all three speakers had to put up with that night. And I’m not exaggerating, there was hardly a minute that went by without one of them being interrupted or cussed out by a heckler. There were protesters leaning over balconies demanding to know why there were only white people on stage, femi-nazis with identical Rachel Maddow haircuts in the front row screaming questions but not accepting answers, and most famously, the chick you see here swinging those meaty drumsticks like she’s trying to tackle a Black Dahlia Murder song in expert mode on a RockBand drum set.

I could go on forever, but I think I’ll save it for my next upload."

I read it. I'm not sure why I'm supposed to care about it, though.

I did find one thing interesting. If you replace all the SJW-related nouns with Israel or conservative or Gamergate-related nouns, it sort of sounds like it was written by a PoE user.

"The screaming meme-"

I swear this isn't me, THOSE GUMMI BEARS ARE LYING.

"- you see before you today is a shining example of what happens when a generation of students is taught that it’s okay to trust their gender studies professor over actual stats and logic;"

I look at my back catalog of right wing videos I have submitted, and I can't help but think if I had submitted this as "GOPrincess Sad At Party" with the description "Attention not paid to prettyness one, sadness mode engaged" with the tags "bolemia, Disney Princess, plastic surgery" and "CARDIO!" it would have been five stars no controversy.

You know who loved stats and logic?



HITLER

Yianna fever up in the hizzy

Yes, because it's only her appearance that is revolting.

If we ignore her comical appearance and focus on what she's saying, then she only sounds like a big fat clown.

Ah yes Caminante, if only she had the body of a sickly 11 year old with pink hair and the voice of a mouse.... ah... then!

because the name "Triggllypuff" has nothing to do with her appearance

We make fun of even slim young women acting like idiots. Shall I link to the Target shoplifter video? Why yes I think I shall:

http://www.poetv.com/video.php?vid=35908

It's the behavior.

Or, even closer analogy: Suey Park. Physically beautiful, but man is she ever hilariously repellent in word and deed.

1.) She is not afraid to speak. I know, but there are those countries... *
2.) She is not ashamed to speak. See 1.
3.) She's mad as hell and she's not going to take it anymore.
4.) Cardio.
5.) Industrial music loop.
6.) Holographic protestor.
7.) John Waters's new muse.
8.) Brings poeTV together in love and harmony.
9.) That is not a squirrel in party hat, it is frightened cupcake.
*.) She's showing this is not the country she says it is.

*****

What's so unfortunate about her, she's shouting it from the mountain, though it took me six listens to discern what exactly. My point is, she doesn't need interest, she needs a witness!

Can I get an amen!

Trying to help the religion along.

Then again, this is a good example of a victim who would be a horrible villain if she had any power.

Is she a victim, though? Not every angry mob has a good point, and not every angry mob is full of people trying to express their legitimate grievances.

Mobs are intoxicating things, especially when you're too young to understand that you, yes you, could be in the wrong.

I just meant general victim of life, probably got picked on horribly in school, etc.

On this she's just a crazy person. And you don't have to convince me that not every angry mob has a good point.

In the wrong? You mean compared to Milo Yiannopoulos? Let's not get stupid now - she's just embarrassing.

It's pretty close to religion by now. Self-flagellation, confession and repenting of sin (that many are born with) seem to be huge aspects of it.

It wasn't actually Milo she was shouting down. It was Christina Hoff Sommers, a surprisingly reasonable, well mannered, articulate, soft-spoken person even if I disagree with some of her views.

Being soft-spoken, well mannered, and articulate doesn't mean you're not wrong, and being shrill, obnoxious, and angry doesn't meant you're not right.

This can be a particularly ugly set of assumptions people tend to make when viewing arguments, especially since the powerless and legitimately aggrieved party often has little on their side save for anger and pain and outrage. Meanwhile, the side of the oppresser often has little reason to be anything but calm, soft-spoken, and well mannered; after all, they're on the winning side, and aren't subject to the grief and pain of the people they're helping to oppress.

That's all I'll say.

The only thing oppressing this chili barrel is gravity.

"In the wrong? You mean compared to Milo Yiannopoulos? Let's not get stupid now - she's just embarrassing."

Just because she happened to pick a target that smarter people can justify opposing, doesn't make her right. If a dog bites George Zimmerman. can I honestly make the moral pronouncement that it's a "good boy"? Well, I'll pat it on the head, but that doesn't mean it understands what it's doing or why I'm fine with George Zimmerman getting bit.

Yes I am likening a young protester to a witless animal that knows nothing other than it's time to attack.

No, I wouldn't say that emotional intensity is much of a guarantee of anything.

The problem with your point, regarding the angry campus left, is that they're close-minded crusaders who have built up an indignation metaphysic without a lot going for it.

It's a cult.

"Yes I am likening a young protester to a witless animal that knows nothing other than it's time to attack."

And the dog that bit him!

Stars for you, m-dogg.

Struggle Sessions

We're going to make it one, at the Friendship Gala.

Why don't you just head on over to liveleak if you find conservative insult memes so funny.

Look at this ridiculous crazy person!

Wait...which "side" is she affiliated with? Better double check if it's the one pre-approved for mockery first.

Critical thinking is a fun identity flowchart!

OK, I'll give you some stars.

my god, hahaha

Thank you

i bet you smell like you were a good person when uou were younger, and because you've been improvising your values completely since then, the internet has spoiled everything good about you

younger you was a better version, and you're not more-or-less ignorant than younger you

you became real shit over time

I think people are still in shock over her terrifying overreaction.

Are you, and another dozen or so people on this site, collapsing this whole issue into a simple dichotomy because it makes it easier for you to think about?

"If hate SJW then gamergate"
"If hate gamergate then SJW"
"Anything else not compute. Assume suspicion."

Yes- We are Jack Dalron, or thumbs get tired.

are you a fat?

fat and sassy

It's hard to take the 1-stars argument seriously since it's practically a who's who list of posters who are exclusively about condemnation or rage no matter the subject.

Triggly is just the shouting street preacher archetype under a different banner; both have jack shit to do with their gospel of love and understanding and just want to latch on to something that gives them an excuse to scream at people. They fit the "high conflict person" diagnosis to a T. Rage can be addicting and people should honestly ask themselves if they're really about a cause or the cover it provides for shitting on others.

I'm genuinely puzzled why these people just don't go to Bo-news. They have the same services and same favorite past time of devoting 100% of their free time to commenting on how everyone but them is an MRA/redpiller/KKK/ISIS bigot (in-between constant self-policing and purges). They post weekly how this place is a "hate group" now so...what's keeping you here?

Wherein ROUS brings tear to my eye. You you are exactly, one-hundred percent right.

Trigglypuff is not some brain-damaged soul who wandered into the event and is being unfairly made fun of. She's a professional protester and SJW who went in, with the intention of disrupting the event to the point that it could not take place. In the campus SJW mind, free speech and the right to assemble take second fiddle to her need to make sure nothing offensive was happening near her.

Milo is an interesting genius. The man she was shouting down was actually the obnoxious windbag, Crowder. But who cares? It's a college campus - bring the most obnoxious windbags available on campus and let them windbag.

Serious Professional Moment: In real-life, Enjoy is a senior manager who hires hundreds of college graduates into high-tech. I am *grossly* disturbed by the attitudes coming out of universities the past 4-5 years. The grit, determination, and delayed gratification has been replaced by this SJW horseshit. They have no training on how to deal with the hardships of life and business. Instead, imports from India and other places are absolutely eating their lunch. And by lunch I mean six-figure salaries within a few years of graduation so it's a pretty good lunch.

The SJWs, like SolRo and his ilk, might think they are changing the world for the better, but they are actually wrecking a future generation. Other cultures, who have no SJW cancer, are benefiting.

I think we have some in-betweeners as well. Any one video might hit someone a certain way in a certain week of life.

But there are some clear patterns, too.

What saddens me is the left eating itself, recapitulated in microcosm on this site. The idea, from about 6 or 12 poesters, that the rest of us atheists and LGBTs and pinkos on this site might actually be heretical gamergaters who need to 'come to God' is the sort of unshakeable fundamentalism that Target preachers would be proud of.

Enjoy, the people that you hire - what degrees do they typically have?

Also: you know that "Logans Run" was a dystopic science fiction story and not a viable staffing strategy?

There is definitely a group of users on this website who are so 'loud' with their indignant personal politics that it's easy to forget that there are moderate users as well.

I find it really strange that people are 1-starring this video as 'bullying'. Do these people know where this website came from? If so, they have clearly forgotten.

I've said it before, but lots of the most prolific commenters on here seem like they could have easily qualified as exhibits back in the day.

ROUS! You're back!

I was legit concerned.

But Enjoy, I do think there is a slight difference between the young woman in the video as 'a representation of a political thing' and as 'a complete person'. Even if you had proof that she's a professional protestor, that doesn't mean her life isn't fucked up, etc etc. Both things could be true.

"SJW's pretty much destroyed POE News"

They weren't SJWs, they were jackasses who decided they could be however shitty they wanted so long as they didn't say "fag". There was no pretense of any movement behind it, just a lot of self-congratulatory posturing. If I were to liken them to anything it would be to hateful bigots whose post-church lunch at Denny's serves as a forum to talk about how much they hate blacks, Jews, welfare mothers, and liberals ... but they make a very public show of saying grace.

"SJW's pretty much destroyed POE News" hahaha

Welcome back ROUS, still the most verbose moron on the site after evilhomer I see.

Dude, SolRo. Dude.

" lots of the most prolific commenters on here seem like they could have easily qualified as exhibits back in the day."



Hey, leave me out of this.

This is the funniest comment yet.

In 100 years we're all going to be the same shade of brown, so who gives a shit?

More like 10 years. This is fact, I saw it in a diagram once.

:)

:)

Yeah, it's something in the wind to be sure. I just talked to an old friend of mine, and he reminded me of the Tibetan Buddhist sand painting ritual. A couple monks lay out a fantastic mandala in colored sand on a slab over the course of several days then sweep the whole of it away in a few moments. It gave me some food for thought.

Those mandalas up close are incredibly gorgeous. Some schools make them underwater, which takes way longer because you have to place the sand without displacing the water. Impermanence is a great lesson.

Or, as the Sufi story goes, "This too shall pass."

It'll get better EH. We don't always see eye to eye but you're good people. It'll get better.

Stay strong, EH. Remember, there hasn't been a day yet you couldn't get through. Thousands of days thus far and you've beaten them all; whatever is going on the next couple days, my money's on EvilHomer.

As Stan Rogers sings in a song about a hard-working farmer, "There's victory in every quarter mile." For you it's not fields plowed (I assume), but whatever it is -- even if it's just hours endured -- there's victory in every one of them.

For you, EH:

Yes, it's Supergirl on a couch with a bunch of puppies.

Thank you, everybody! I wasn't trying to be emo, and I wasn't trying to make this about myself - it's a Chasing Amy love triangle thing, and knowing the sort of guy I am, it's bound to get a lot worse before it gets better - but I will get through it eventually. I always do.

My main concern here is for you guys! It's sad to see you all fighting. We used to all be bound together in common interests, like laughing at furries, and it sucks that people who bonded so well over furries now get so angry about videos like this one.

The love triangle is between myself, a close friend I am (secretly) head-over-heels in love with, and her former lesbian-girlfriend, whom she still pines for. I've spent the last week helping this Amy of mine get back together with her ex, like a bizarre mashup of Chasing Amy, Cyrano, and Tale of Two Cities. I don't really see any way that can end happily.

Interesting aside, she and I first bonded over laughing at furries, too.

Find some way to be physically repulsed by your friend; maybe ask her to film herself doing a Tubgirl thing. Once your brain can disentangle physical attraction and love for her as a person, you'll be good.

Failing that, Bort sez, this sounds like an unhealthy thing, you trying to push the two of them back together. You can probably do it, but it's not necessarily necessary for it to be your burden, and you'll pay a heavy emotional toll for it. Martyrs make for great fictional protagonists, but it's not a great way to live one's life.

Bort identifies too much, and wishes Bort could tell these things to Bort 1998. :-(

Well, I'm not really pushing. SHE'S pushing, and I'm helping her, because I genuinely want her to be happy, and because yeah, I've got terminal martyr syndrome! For example, I spent much of yesterday driving around the southern half of the state, looking for rare roses to send to the ex-girlfriend on Amy's behalf. I'm smart enough to know that's not really healthy, and I'm self-aware enough to know that I'm not owed anything for simply "being a Nice Guy", and therefore, cannot blame anyone else but myself for the internal problems I'm causing. All the same, this is what I do.

I tried getting grossed out by her, but the problem is, she's too perfect for me. Emotionally, I mean! She's insanely attractive, yes, but to be honest, I barely even notice her looks - it's her brains and her attitude, our shared interests and the frighteningly similar life stories that roped me in, and that kind of stuff is both far rarer and far harder to "get over". Plus, whenever I get around her I transform into a charming, confident, highly-motivated alpha male, and it's hard to be phased by gross stuff when I'm in beast mode like that. She talks about BO, she talks about fecal incontinence, she talks about autistic SJW otherkin slapping her in the face with dragon dildos - doesn't help at all.

On the plus side, I think the confidence she inspires in me has been bleeding out pheromones, because there's been a bunch of young ladies taking an interest in IRL Homer as of late. Unfortunately, none of them motivate me anywhere near like this one girl does, which is leading to further, interlocking love triangles.

Yeah, that does sound too familiar: "well I can't have ____ but at least I can do this much for her". Looking back at when I was going through something similar, this was the "bargaining" stage.

YOU are the alpha male in your life. You may behave more like one in her presence, but she doesn't bring it out in you, you opt to show it. That's all you, bud!

Some of my most rewarding periods have been when I chose to be in no relationship. If you can feel complete outside of a relationship, that's a good place to be in sometimes.

Evilhomer, the solution is sitting there right in front of you already, you're practically doing it without even realizing:

Build a Pavlovian association between her and Kevin Smith, problem solved. There's no way you can pine over someone who makes you think about Kevin Smith.

It's a decent plan Mr Wildcat, but with my luck, I will instead wind up with a fetish for Kevin Smith.

You're corn-fusing me with some other cat!

What I say is, you can take the boy out of the rye field, but you can't take the rye field out of the boy. Can you dig it? Yes, you can.

Oh, yeah, sorry, Mr Zircon. My mind's like 10.6 miles away right now.

EH, I've probably already said this at least once but when you start calling people "Mr." and "Ms." on here it makes me imagine that you're actually Tiny Tim.


So by all means keep doing it.

....fair enough- it's hard to rate this 1, 5, 3 and N/A all at once. There's no button for that.

YET

Poetv must uncuck itself

Will you two lead the reformation, please?

So which one of you fuckers is gonna be POETV's Martin Luther?

Would I have to nail up my 95 Theses, or can I do it like Philip Seymour Hoffman in Happiness?

If she looked like rich daddy's conservative smughole in the video and did the exact same shit it wouldn't be here.

but conservatives found themselves a nice stereotype for THOSE DAMN SJW LIEBRULS RUINING OUR CUNTRY!!

and the some fucktards on the left are so embarrassed to be associated with anyone not fitting the perfect leftist human archetype that they join right in out of fear that they would be accused of supporting the same views.

I'm far enough left to support guaranteed annual income, elimination of vice laws, STRICT wage caps, and I'd seriously consider bans on advertising and ownership of more than two properties.


But I look at some (SOME) of the stuff going on at universities right now and all I see is Beijing, 1965.

Obviously our great cultural revolution would take a very different form, but in some ways it has already begun, we just use online smear campaigns against intellectuals to discredit them and ruin their careers, instead of locking them up and torturing them, and obviously we're nowhere near that point yet, but the underlying urge to erase ideological opponents is essentially the same.

I agree with both OZ and JHM here. It is like a miniature, trivial mini-Maoism. It'll never succeed for that very reason (you CAN silence your enemies with enough bullets and gulags, for a long time at least, but not with 'online smear campaigns' and temper tantrums). Still, it will trash some careers needlessly, ruin a few people's lives, and above all distract the Left when it is really needed.

Case in point: our SolRo here is expending FAR more anger and vitriol at POETV LAUGHING AT A SILLY PERSON ON YOUTUBE than on, say, the Republican Party nominating a borderline fascist.

I read the new English translation of The Cowshed last winter and had a bit of an epiphany about why so much of the modern left, which I theoretically agree with on most points, rubs me so much the wrong way in practice.

Ji Xianlin's description of the years on campus leading up to the Cultural Revolution, of the destructive role of partisanship, of how he got pulled into it despite being essentially apolitical, and of how it degenerated into organized thuggery, is actually really unnerving in light of the tactics the more reactionary factions on the left have been behaving for the last few years.


I really highly recommend it just in general, politics aside, one of the best pieces of autobiography I've ever read, and short.



In terms of the problems with the left on campus, everyone should give "Galileo's Middle Finger" a read. It's not going to win any awards for its prose style and it's definitely flawed, but if even 10% of the stuff in it is true (and there's no reason to believe it isn't more like 90% if you've been paying attention to this stuff for the last decade) then that's enough.

And just for the record, my gut reaction to videos like this is empathy for the subject. I was never a FCIPH type and trolling in general is usually something I'm not that comfortable with (occasionally it's masterful but usually it's either stupid and boring, or these days outright harassment).

But for fuck's sake.

This is what happens when you're born under a Clinton presidency, although the deregulation of advertising to children under Bush 1 didn't help either. Infantilization by mass media and a broken educational system creates great consumers but not necessarily great citizens. This is the left's version of the psychology that also gave us Gamergaters.

Thanks, OZ. I will look for a copy.

>>Case in point: our SolRo here is expending FAR more anger and vitriol at POETV LAUGHING AT A SILLY PERSON ON YOUTUBE than on, say, the Republican Party nominating a borderline fascist.

I don't seem to think SolRo is necessarily as emotionally invested as you seem to think. He (or maybe she) could be just telling strong truths strongly.

Also, it makes more sense to complain to POETV about what POETV is doing.

Finally, I like Trigglypuff. I think she's kind of badass.

There is an associated interview clip with the puffster, you should have a listen. She asserts Godwin's Law in under two minutes! Then, emotional meltdown. Then, whatever. I stopped listening at that point. She's a dream boat to be sure.

I suggest you revisit it and skip to 2:00, where she makes an extended Power Rangers simile.


I definitely feel bad for the hell the Internet is going to make her life for a couple of months, especially since she's obviously not even close to emotionally prepared to cope with it, but if she plays her cards right there should be a few years of decent lecture tour work waiting at the far end.

for fuck's sake, JHM
