FNTT Season 5: the MENSA round

Feministe’s Next Top Troll continues, this time with commenters who assert their intellectual authority. Obnoxious troll comments below the fold. Vote for your fave:

courage the cowardly dog:

Obviously, my remarks were too logical, too coherent and too unassailable to post because it they had been posted they would served as the intellectual nuclear bomb to feminist ideology.

Jack:

Why are radical feminists so pro-gay marriage? Is it because they reflexively support anything that threatens the traditional family?

The good thing is that women like Jill are non-breeding their leftism out of existence. The bad thing is that her high-IQ genes will also not move on to the next generation.

I was torn, but the fact that Jack credits Jill with having a high IQ, well, he can’t be ALL bad if he knows that Jill’s smart.

2 AlmostAmanda 6.9.2009 at 2:43 pm

Damn, this is a tough one. One the one hand, I love the idea that the first troll has the ability to drop THE intellectual nuclear bomb on feminist ideology, yet lacks the “courage” to state his name. On the other hand, you’ve got to love that Jack is both happy and sad that Jill is not “breeding” because she is both evil/stupid and very smart.

The stoopid. It burns.

Courage the cowardly dog, because his statement *actually* made me wonder what his previously attempted posts said… >_>

Yep, I seem to be some sort of closet masochist where it comes to reading troll leavings. I’ll work on that.

Look, copraphology is quite important in understanding the lifestyles of all organisms, even “soft” things like culture! I’ll not have you insult everyone who studies shit, Laurie!

5 Tracey 6.9.2009 at 3:18 pm

I vote for jack because I actually love the show Courage the Cowardly dog and am disgusted the fisrt poster took the name of a beloved character.
With that said, I think there should be a category for emails (I understand not wanting poster/comment to be matched up to emails). I mean stupidlesbodyke@gmail and stuffitcunt@yahoo are pretty cassic.
Though, I find it somewhat creepy that to me it almost seems as though Jack is hitting on you (a way to pass on your genes, for the human race of course).

6 Edie 6.9.2009 at 3:19 pm

Once again, FashionablyEvil makes my point. Jack at least notes Jill’s high IQ.

Courage the Cowardly Dog’s circular logic has holes the size of Montana’s skies, but nowhere near as clear.

7 j.elise 6.9.2009 at 3:27 pm

Backhanded compliment + implication that all things (leftism? smarts? gayness?) are genetic + accidental assertion that family-threatening liberalism and intelligence go hand and hand >> censored nuclear bomb to feminsim.

Also, non-breeding, like the unbirthday, is a fascinating and important concept.

8 KathyMarie 6.9.2009 at 3:33 pm

Courage gets my vote, for bad writing, misuse of a pronoun, and forgetting a helping verb phrase. Outstanding intellectual nuclear bomb, that.

9 Sam 6.9.2009 at 3:41 pm

They’re both so stupendously cocky that I can’t truly decide which is more repugnant. I chose Jack because he appears intelligent enough to know better. Surely someone who can speak so concisely is more of a threat than a pseudo educated clown like “courage” because Jack doesn’t sound nearly as trumped up, self important and insane, people might actually be inclined to give Jack time of day. Generally tyrants and dictators are great speakers.

10 Personal Failure 6.9.2009 at 3:48 pm

I’m nonbreeding right now! In front of everyone!

11 shah8 6.9.2009 at 3:50 pm

I voted for jack, because there’s a kind of can’t keep it straight on the right plane quality that I suffer from as well.

Gotta vote for the home team of silliness.

12 JessSnark 6.9.2009 at 4:20 pm

Courage gets my vote for 2 typos in a single sentence asserting his cleverness.

13 kb 6.9.2009 at 4:22 pm

for once, a comment that I actually want to see again. How can we not love the idea of an intellectual nuclear bomb? courage all the way.

14 Skwrr 6.9.2009 at 4:24 pm

Courage, by a long shot. He’s just so full of himself.

15 Woman 6.9.2009 at 4:26 pm

Jack. Definitely Jack. He has the whole nice veneer covering seething hate thing going.

16 abby jean 6.9.2009 at 5:22 pm

i am now dying to know what intellectual neutron bomb could explode feminist ideology! a clear win for courage the cowardly dog, for not just insulting individual people but dismantling our entire belief system.

17 Sheelzebub 6.9.2009 at 5:26 pm

This is a tough one. I like Jack’s post, in that he thinks political views are somehow genetic (someone better tell my very conservative parents this so they can find out who switched the babies at the hospital). I also liked the fact that he called Jill smart. SOMEONE has a secret troll admirer!

HOWEVER, a good troll does NOT issue compliments. Also, CTCD used one of the most ridiculous similies I’ve seen in a while. Seriously? His argument is like a nuclear bomb to feminism? His argument is more like a half-formed amoeba zapped by radiation–flailing and dying.

18 DireSloth 6.9.2009 at 6:47 pm

Courage stealing the name of one of my favorite cartoons got me peeved, but I’m gonna have to go with Jack’s crazy pseudo-eugenics wingnuttyness.

19 Froth 6.9.2009 at 6:53 pm

Courage, for the delightfully unsuccessful attempt to appear clever.

20 bethrjacobs 6.9.2009 at 7:26 pm

Jack is a pig it’s typical to call feminists “smart” it’s actually a slur like saying all Jewish folks are smart.IE when I was asked to leave S.F. ballet school I was told I was;”REALLY SMART AND SHOULD GO TO COLLAGE”….but in the same breadth I was told by the same pig that :”I looked like a transvestite”or to be precise like a member of a male cross dressing ballet company that spoof females.

21 bethrjacobs 6.9.2009 at 7:30 pm

P.S. my mother is a former Mensa member and Jack should watch it.He knows not of what he speaks.Her I.Q. confirmed as a child to be around 165 could blow some one like”Jack” right out of the universe,and she hates dumb men.Almost as bad as “Jack” is I would say only in reverse.

22 bethrjacobs 6.9.2009 at 7:37 pm

P.S.S. they are equal and probably their same sob…who is probably enjoying some Kleenex and lotion right as we type. I think I’m going to be sick. They or he is why I stopped dating….

23 Tiktaalik 6.9.2009 at 8:33 pm

I voted courage because he’s an offense to the character of the same name (who’s a kind person, err, dog)…

24 hexy 6.9.2009 at 8:49 pm

Courage all the way!

25 MomTFH 6.9.2009 at 9:02 pm

Oh, courage is the bomb.

26 Icewyche 6.9.2009 at 11:02 pm

BIG HEAD KITTY! *squees*

Ahem. Sorry. I went with “Courage”, because the old “You peons can never comprehend my brilliance” argument always seems that much more trollier.

27 Christy 6.9.2009 at 11:47 pm

Jack, only because of his TOTALLY SCIENTERIFFIC assertion that “leftism” is inherited. They’re both awesome though!

28 gordo 6.10.2009 at 2:26 am

I have to go with Jack, because of the eugenics. I think eugenics and right-wing ideology are naturally intertwined, and it’s nice to see yet another demonstration of that.

29 annajcook 6.10.2009 at 7:03 am

I went with ‘courage’ because he came right out of the gate with “obviously,” thus negating the need to justify anything that followed with actual fact. That, and the phrase ‘intellectual nuclear bomb’ to describe his own brilliance.

30 Laurie in Mpls. 6.10.2009 at 10:02 am

shah8:
I have no doubts that the study of, er, *leavings* has its place in science. Or cultural anthropology, for that matter. I’ve been known to closely examine scat while hiking myself. I think I’ll leave studying the troll leavings to the experts, and those immune to its effects, however. ;)

31 Lauren 6.10.2009 at 10:33 am

Oh man, this one is hard.

32 DaisyDeadhead 6.10.2009 at 2:26 pm

No offense to Jill’s genes or anything, but courage wins with the nuke reference.

33 Gwrthryfel 6.10.2009 at 5:15 pm

Wow. I almost could not decide which commentor was a bigger asshole. But I had to go with Courage, coz he thought his comments were so amazingly logical and unassailale and coherent, and that they would ’spolde our feminist brains.

34 Gwrthryfel 6.10.2009 at 9:14 pm

Hmm how about commentator, instead? Yeah.

35 Gina 6.11.2009 at 3:39 am

Jack. I liked that he mixed it up with a little compliment at the end–you don’t see that very often in anti-feminist trolls.

36 Roving Thundercloud 6.11.2009 at 10:37 am

Had to give props to Courage for his mercy in withholding the nuke that would lay waste to all our silly feminist notions.

37 bint alshamsa 6.12.2009 at 2:54 pm

I’m going to have to go with Courage. Real trolls don’t leave compliments.

38 Ami 6.15.2009 at 11:15 pm

courage the cowardly dog for grammar mistakes in defense of his massive intelligence

39 AutumnWytch 6.17.2009 at 4:05 pm

It’s a race to the finish for first prize in prick-ery, but CTCD had me at intellectual nuclear bomb.

40 SippingJuleps 6.17.2009 at 10:38 pm

I’m with Jack, because, as a feminist wife and mother (who also supports gay marriage), I’ve had it in for the “traditional family” all along.

41 Mike 6.19.2009 at 7:23 pm

I think Jack’s just sad that the chances are so low Jill will join her “high-IQ genes” with his low-IQ genes, thus giving his germ line a shot at survival. Still, he’s just so *charming*… who knows, Jack – keep ‘em coming!
