Yes I'll let this fedora wearing virgin Randall tell me how to pull tail LOL. The only reflection I need is in the back of the heads of the HB8s I fuck from knowing what women really want
I call Poe. Right?

More advertising for /r/xkcdcomic
There's no point to going to /r/xkcd anymore. It was commandeered by some conspiracy/TRP/Holocaust denier asshole. Forget about it and move on. Making any more posts about that subreddit in meta-subreddits is just giving it more attention.
"The best revenge is to live well." So, the best revenge against an internet moderator is to ignore him and build a great community.

Of course, /r/TheRedPill has to fire their own shots[1].

His humor is great, but his white knighting knows no bounds. He should stick to subjects that his aspie ass can grok. [+12]
.
White-knighting is utterly pathetic. No man who goes to bat for "women" or apologizes "for men" could ever have my respect again. It is utterly misguided, Stockholm-syndrome level delusion. [+9]

fuck that bp turd and his stick figures. [+6]

The problem is that there's a certain population of men who honestly view "girls say they want a nice guy" as meaning that "nice guy" is the only criterion on which they would possibly be judged.
When *anyone* says "I want someone [insert characteristic here]" they mean they want that in *addition* to things like "being physically attractive." When a guy says he wants a nerdy girl (or a girl says she wants a nerdy guy) he's not saying he'll date any nerdy girl who crosses his path, he's saying it's a *plus*.
Being "nice" is the bare goddamned minimum. If you don't have more in a relationship to offer than that, you're not going to get anyone who themselves has more good qualities than "she's nice."

Of course, anyone who mentions the elephant in the room[1] of this relating to the subreddit's mods gets his/her post deleted. The CSS has even been altered to make it slightly less obvious[2].

I like XKCD, and Randall is obviously very smart, but he's very preachy when it comes to relationships, and I don't think he's quite as clued in to human interaction as he thinks he is.

You're going to get backlash when you fight stereotypes with stereotypes.
Attacking "women want assholes" with "everyone who laments that is an asshole" just means we've taken a step to the left instead of improving things for anyone.

Well, the fact is that this particular comic uses some kind of circular reasoning:
Let's start with person A who gets rejected by person B.
Person A doesn't "respond to the rejection by belittling their judgement and self-awareness". So, according to this comic, person A is the kind of person that B wants.
Therefore, A retroactively doesn't get rejected? That doesn't work.
