Not long ago I posted on how WHAMs (white heterosexual able-bodied males) have the superhuman ability to strike fear in everyone else's hearts with a mere utterance. On that occasion it was a song on a bus that petrified the nation. Now there is a fresh WHAM controversy riling the nation, and it concerns criticism of a film.
The film in question is the re-boot of the Mad Max series from the late '70s and early '80s, which is near and dear to any red-blooded male who grew up in that area. It seems the reboot (Mad Max: Fury Road) is a feminist Trojan horse that portrays the lithe Charlize Theron barking orders and kicking males' behinds. This doesn't surprise me one bit; practically every film these days is drenched with feminism and various other perversions characteristic of spoiled, decadent societies. What has surprised me, at least a little bit, is the hysterical reaction to the blog (Return of Kings) for criticizing the film and calling for men to boycott it. Apparently, the mainstream media targeted the blog post for censure and thereby caught the attention of the masses. I found out about the whole affair when a mangina condemned the blog post on my Facebook news feed. Even the mainstream temple of Time magazine identified the film as feminist, yet the blog post is hated merely for complaining about this fact.
This is fascinating for a couple of reasons. For one, the mainstream media have decided that they cannot simply ignore the manosphere/androsphere, but rather must attack it (which is the third step toward victory). For another, it reveals new depths to the hypersensitivity and insecurity of non-WHAMs, for not even having the megaton star power and money of Hollywood on their side makes them feel safe from WHAM criticism, even from an otherwise obscure blog. Once again, this calls out for explanation, and the only one I can come up with is this: they know in their deepest recesses that WHAMs are the ones who built this society and are necessary to maintain it. Atlas is not supposed to shrug; he is supposed to keep holding up the vault of the heavens while everyone else keeps nipping at his heels. But he is starting shrug, just a little bit, and they are scared to death.
