Disaster Pants: Will Wheaton Attempts a Brief Defense of "BernieBros," Then Collapses Into a Quivering Pile of Shame and Fear

He pushed back, slightly and not terribly cleverly, at the "BernieBro" stuff, asking, perfectly fairly I think, if those tossing about the "BernieBro" term as an insult would think it was fair if people began saying "Hillary Harpy" in return.

So far, the charisma-free former child actor is just acting like a kind of a man, who, when he feels other people are trying to bully him into submission, proudly (and properly), gets (weakly) scrappy.

Just a thought: if you would be (IMHO rightly) offended by "Hillary Harpies" or similar, maybe lay off the whole "Bernie Bros" epithet.
— Wil Wheaton (@wilw) February 3, 2016

Not exactly the Battle at Stirling Bridge in Braveheart, but whatever, he's doing the best with the small amount of testosterone he has.

Then people began criticizing him for being insufficiently deferential to Narratives of Intersectional Oppressation.

@wilw Please continue condoning the vile behaviour and misogyny from many Sanders supporters. Go on.
— Hillary 2016 (@45Hillary16) February 3, 2016

He began meekly protesting:

Yeah that's so clearly and obviously what I said. You're neat. https://t.co/PnuyRHVEMn
— Wil Wheaton (@wilw) February 3, 2016

Someone complained that "bro" wasn't perjorative but "harpy" was, so he had committed a WordCrime by upping the ante so dramatically. Oh, by the way, "bro" is of course meant perjoratively in the "BernieBro" insult.

So he apologized. I don't want to say he apologized like a little bitch, but I have seen small female dogs beg for forgiveness, and they looked a bit like this.

Except they looked more like men, four legs and fur and all:

I do, and I apologize. I chose my words poorly. I was attempting to convey the pejorative intent in both cases. https://t.co/KJjvUorKMI
— Wil Wheaton (@wilw) February 3, 2016

But that apology isn't enough: He doesn't humiliate himself completely enough, nor savage himself for his horrible behavior in coining "Hillary Harpy" as a hypothetical equivalent to "BernieBro."

So he prostrates himself, rends his clothes, and begins smearing feces on his own flesh to show that he can self-chastise enough, with no need of outside assistance.

Who would want to live like this? I would kill myself.

I wasn’t defending terrible behavior, but I understand why it seemed that way.
I stirred up a shitstorm on Twitter earlier today, and as I thought about what I said, how I said it, and how people responded to me, I needed more than 140 characters to work it all out.
I’m going to acknowledge my privilege right now, before I get into this. Because I’m a middle-aged white dude, I don't have the same experience in life tha... well, pretty much everyone else who isn’t has. I know that the world is set up to make life for people like me as easy as possible (Scalzi's "lowest difficulty" setting), and even though I try to see from outside of my own limited perspective, I don't always succeed.

By the way, your particular life as a straight (technically) white male, as a child actor and professional Dungeons and Dragons dork on YouTube, is probably a bit easier than many other straight white dudes' lives, who have done things like gone to war to fight for your pathetic ass, so do not include them as you abase yourself.

Speak of your own soft, flabby existence -- but don't assume other people have spent their whole lives playing dress-up with spock-ears and hobbit-feet.

Good Lord, then he whimpers some more. It's really a shameful spectacle.

On Reddit, they're laughing, because Will Wheaton was a major (weakling) thug in the GamerGate wars, and still can't see this same bullshit -- attack and then cry "harrasssment" -- was and remains the preferred tactic of the Social Justice Warrior.

By the way, part of the reason for Wheaton's self-abasement is a column he cites by feminist idiot Amanda Hess. Hess says, in the most State-ish way posible, that "Everybody is Wrong" in the Bernie Bro nontroversy.

She is a feminist. Her claiming "everyone is wrong" is her crabwalking manner of conceding that "the feminists are the only ones wrong." She's forbidden to actually say that, so she says, like the Black Knight, "All right, let's call it a tie."

Here are her examples of why this "feminist critique" of "BernieBro" culture was "necessary."

[A critic's claims about a "BernieBro" problem] was buttressed, though, by a series of tone-deaf pieces that served as a Bernie Bro proof of concept, essays by Sanders boosters like Walker Bragman ("Hillary’s personality repels me"); Michael Sainato ("Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, and Hillary Clinton all share a common insincere, yet polished, demeanor inherent with an affluent lifestyle”); and Ben Norton, who dismissed feminist identification with a female candidate as "high-school clique drama."

These are all things that are Forbidden to say, she's claiming -- you can't say that Hillary's personality is repellent. You must give her Respect.

You can't say she comes from an affluent lifestyle. And note especially: The point of this statement, which Hess cutely omits, was to say Bernie Sanders' wife does not share the tropes of the affluent; he was praising Bernie Sanders' wife for being of a different kind.

That is, in fact, the entire point of his piece; he's writing about what a nice First Lady Bernie Sanders' wife would be.

In other words: She lies.

Or, let us say this of her: She is claiming that an attack on the soft and easy assumptions of the upper middle class is the same as an attack on women, probably because she herself shares in those assumptions, and she's too vain and proud to countenance any sort of attack on herself. So she conflates a criticism that is all about class, not gender, as an attack on gender.

Let's face it, as many poor or minority women have noted: "Feminism" as currently configured is nothing more than a lobby for the people who control it, nigh-exclusively: upper middle class Private College white women. So if you casually note that Hillary Clinton is of this class -- and she is, obviously -- they take that, rightly, as an attack on their own Identities and Tribes.

But because no one besides Comfortable Class White Women Feminists gives a shit about the worries and preoccupations of Comfortable Class White Women Feminists except Comfortable Class White Women Feminists, she pretends that this was an attack on "women," rather than a very specific sort of woman. (And a championing of another kind of woman -- something she, again, deliberately hides from her readers.)

Here are her other proofs:

The Sanders campaign’s critics had plenty of material to work with beyond those blithely condescending columns. They could throw in a bunch of bottom-feeding social media sexists, like the poster in a pro-Sanders Facebook group who called Hillary "clitrash." The campaign also made its own gendered gaffes, including the smug statement that Bernie was "willing to consider" Hillary for veep. Finally, there’s the tendency of online Sanders supporters to call Clinton fans corporate-shilling "Hillary bots" and to argue that journalists are “auditioning for jobs with the Clinton White House.” Put it all together, and you have a perfectly reasonable (though not unimpeachable, and certainly not universal) argument that Bernie has a little bit of a Bro problem.

And that's her case: One rando said "clittrash." Someone who is so completely marginal she doesn't even bother to name him (or her).

That Bernie Sanders said, horrifically, he'd be willing to consider Hillary as Veep. What should he said? That he would not consider her? Or, a I think the feminist robots would prefer: "No, I would never consider her as Vice President because she's plainly to Superlative to be anything but President and I herewith endorse her for same."

That women journalists are debuting for jobs in Hillary's White House? 1, of course they are, 2, of course they are, 3, this isn't a gendered attack, this is an attack about self-serving mercenary careerism frequently seen in the Comfortable Class White Woman Feminist ranks, Media Auxilliaries, and 4, of course they are.

And that some people call Hillary's supporters "Hillary bots." I call Marco's supporters RubioBots. Trump's supporters are called Trump Bots.

This is such a standard claim -- and frankly a fitting one; people who do nothing but regurgitate week-old propaganda talking points sound like fucking mind-dead robots -- that it could not possibly be considered 'gendered" or "sexist," unless, as one suspects, the real claim being put forward by Comfortable Class White Women Feminists is that We Must Always Be Treated Like the (Real Body Type) Queens We Are, and Must Never Be Contradicted Or Disputed.

One does strongly get a whiff of that from this foul, narcissistic crew.

I understand the desire to always be praised. Everyone has that. But, being a man, I have no ready ideology to cite that says I should always be praised.

Only Comfortable Class White Women Feminists do. (Well, any "minority" has this as well, I suppose.)

What can we say of this overt, open claim by Comfortable Class White Women Feminists that they must not be spoken of except in praise, and they should not be spoken to, except in deference?

As one female critic of feminists put it, in one of the most stinging and perfect lines I've ever read: "This isn't 'feminism.' This is merely female."

But based on this scanty and absurd list of Grievances, Amanda Hess finds that the made-up "BernieBro" nontroversy is a teachable moment for both sides, and the craven, worm-like non-man Will Wheaton debases himself.

Who would want to live like this?

How does anyone live like this?

This is, I think, complementary to James Lileks' take on the collegiate SJWs:

"The person will pass from the bubble of college to the bubble of social enforcement, keen on perfecting the world. And for the rest of his or her or xer professional life, they'll be shouting BE QUIET to a calm, rational adult who is too terrified to say 'you're a terrible child who understands nothing. Go to your room.'"

"This isn't 'feminism.' This is merely female."

that weakling wheaton made the first big mistake, he apologized. I hope I never have to face down the harpy storm but if I do, I hope I never apologize.

But for Wil, as a SJW, he should be punished via poetry, he should lose his gigs in polite society. No more gnab gib for him.

82 Re: Praise culture

I know there was a time in my life that this culture was a damn sight less comfortable with effusive praise. When being told a thousand times "You're great!" or "You're the best-est!" was actually uncomfortable for people because they had some sense of personal introspection. Humility used to be a thing.

When you got an award and the simple "You make me proud." you got from your grandfather was worth more than the damn award itself.

But these shitty "Everyone is best-est" bullshit sweepstakes where "Everyone's a Winner!" just makes me tired.

I suspect all of Hef's girlfriend schtick was nothing more than models on a TV show.

Feminism is not now and, bluntly, has never been about equality. It has always, always, always been about female superiority. Which is, of course, ridiculous.

Women are not better people. They're just *people* who are just as likely to be honorable and dishonorable and honest and liars and just and unjust and altruistic and sociopathic. My go to retort on how women are oh so much gentler and kinder and the like is that there is no force on Earth as vicious as a pack of 13 year old girls. The old joke that guys get angry and hit each other and then go out for drinks whereas women get angry and torment each other into lifelong eating disorders isn't actually a joke.

You know what? I get my icky, icky, icky human emotions hurt all the damn time. So what. I whinge at Bander and whine at others and then I suck it up buttercup and keep going because that's what a woman does.

Oh my... woah. He should have just gone ahead and killed himself right there and then. Not that I am advocating anyone's suicide, but I think he would have spared himself the misery if he had just ended it right then.

I don't know if white people that do this sort of thing realize how pathetic and worthless we come across to others. It's quite pathetic and disgusting to me. I'm not sure who they think they are impressing. They are just marking themselves as targets for extra bullying.

142 A couple of good things about Wheaton though:

- He was easily my favorite part of Big Bang Theory before I stopped watching that stink pile of feces.

- The video of him encouraging young people to embrace their passion and inner nerds is one of my favorite videos ever. Moved me to tears.

- As a liberal, he's not the worst kind of liberal. He's relatively harmless. I disagree with him on pretty much everything politically. But, it's okay for people to disagree. He seems like a decent dude who would get along with someone regardless of their political preferences. Unlike say, a Patton Oswalt who I am pretty sure would set someone on fire if he found out they were conservative.

Not that I find a great deal of sympathy for him. He's a real dick on twitter.

Frankly, that seems like the tone of the fight from Hillary's supporters at this point: Badger and belittle Bernie supporters into silence as hateful misogynists. Reminds me of things back in 2008 when Hillary supporters were all racists for not backing Obama.

170 The weird thing is that I'm seeing a lot of scattered evidence across the net that women, particularly younger women are big on Bernie and not Hillary. Someone mentioned her only voters are people that voted for her hubby the first time and I'm starting to wonder if that's not the case.

Of course, if she wins the nom, they'll all line up for her anyway but right now, interesting.

Welcome to the future -- where you're all six year olds forever, and you have fifty thousand angry mothers scolding you until you die.

Easiest difficulty setting, indeed.
But really, most boys never really listen to their mothers after the age of 5 anyway. Now if Dad told me to knock it off, I did, most of the time.

185 There's a Syfy channel series I caught on Netflix. It's called "Dark Matter". Season 1 is on Netflix and Season 2 will come out in a few months.

Pretty good for a Syfy series. That is, it's an interesting premise, overwriting (too much telling, not enough showing), limited sets and some earnest actors trying to overcome it all.

For the penultimate episode of the first season, they had on Wil Wheaton as the episode's villain. They probably intended him to be a recurring character and a personal nemesis to one of our heroes.

Oh, my dear God, I have never seen such bad acting.

Sharknado cameos were Emmy-worthy compared to this.

He wasn't even chewing the scenery. It was like he was reading off of cue cards after no rehearsals. Like he was a last-minute replacement on a live show and had no idea what his character was until he read the lines.

To be fair, it does make sense. You just don't need to include it on screen. I mean, they are on a 5 year mission, in deep space. You know a bunch of people are getting it on, so it's not unlikely that a few people a year would pop out a baby. I guess you have to have somewhere to put them.

Ya'll speaking about young women for Bernie...my cousin, whom I love dearly, and never even knew until this year was liberal, is feeling the Bern. She grew up much like myself, going to private schools, privileged (more privileged than me....I grew up in a much more middle class household), in a decent family, with no wild behavior, no pregnancy scares, she spent, and still does, most of her time reading, doing homework. As of 10 years ago, she was staunchly conservative.

She went to the University of Notre Dame, and as often happens to college kids, came out a little less conservative. Then, she went out East for grad school. And, I don't know what happened, but man she took a hard left. She isn't loud or annoying about it. Like I said, I didn't even realize she had changed her views until recently. Now, what a bookish, intelligent, well brought up, non-hippie, put together young woman can find in Bernie Sanders, I honestly have no idea.

that the world is set up to make life for people like me as easy as
possible"

Gah. This "white privilege" business again.

I understand that the people who push it have ripped off the dramatic gimmick from _They Live_, and have produced a video where a white guy puts on White Privilege Glasses, akin to the "Hoffman Glasses" from TL, and is amazed at how differently the world suddenly looks.

So, for instance, walking past the intersection of "Jefferson Avenue and Washington Boulevard", he puts on the glasses and suddenly sees that the signs read, as a black person would see them, "Slave Owner Avenue and Slave Owner Boulevard".

Thunderation! What an amazing insight! Secret history revealed! The protective canopy torn away! The sordid underbellies of the Founders on view!

I'm sure that all those whiteys who had not previously been aware that Jefferson and Washington owned slaves are indeed exemplars of insulated, arrogant "white privilege". Except, um, that's not me, and that's not the overwhelming majority of the white people I know, either.

For Pete's sake, can you even *find* a biography of either man which fails to prominently mention that as having been a feature of their lives?

The whole thing this guy describes sounds just like this Wil Wheaton fiasco in a different context. Except in this case the men are saying "fuck you" to this whole feminist agenda.

265 He wasn't even chewing the scenery. It was like he was reading off of cue cards after no rehearsals. Like he was a last-minute replacement on a live show and had no idea what his character was until he read the lines.

Wheaton always looks, moves, and talks as if he just had a pole stuck up his butt. Stand by Me is his greatest achievement and his character is the reserved, pole up the butt kid.

His second greatest achievement is Star Trek, where he plays a "genius" with a huge pole up his butt.

I am going to pretend that wasn't as sexist as it was, as I am a female who enjoys football...and baseball...and basketball...and even sometimes, golf. And have for years. As do my mom, sister, aunt, cousins, and friends.

As to the original question. I like Star Trek and Star Wars pretty equally. Collectively, I like more of the Star Wars characters than I do Star Trek, although Spock is my favorite character from either franchise, with Han Solo being a very, very close second. But, I enjoy the Star Trek universe a little bit more, so for that reason, I give the slight edge to Trek, but they are so close...it depends on the day and my mood.

I would argue that the civilization- building was an equal opportunity venture, as the key component of civilization is human beings...who wouldn't be around if women didn't destroy their body and nearly die every time one was born. I don't take away from what men have done though. Without men, we would be nowhere. But....I mean....women did their fair share.

And this is coming from someone who believes men should be the head of household, support the family, hopes to be a housewife because she feels a woman's place is at home taking care of her family. As backwards as I am, you still made me go POP.

312 So, fun story about Wil Wheaton's avatar.

It's from his cameo in Questionable Content, a webcomic by Jeph Jacques. It started out as a Millenial's view of living in MA with a crappy job. It morphed into a liberal preachfest, with only two people in the cast of about a dozen in a stable, heterosexual relationship (they're also never seen anymore, for some odd reason).

Jeph Jacques got some criticism from SJWs that he wasn't SJW-y enough a year or two ago, and one night stabbed his drawing hand in a drunken rage. His wife has also since left him, and the comic is now about him trying frantically to get back into the good graces of the SJW crowd (which is why I stopped reading).

So yeah, I'm guessing Wil Wheaton knows full well what the SJWs can do to people.

I suspect all of Hef's girlfriend schtick was nothing more than models on a TV show.

I also suspect that by now, Hef only wants a warm glass of milk before his nap.
Posted by: mnw (rare and flounced) at February 04, 2016 05:11 PM (EXkrA)

Kendra Wilkinson is married to Hank Baskett,the football player. She was always the hot "dumb" blond on "The Girls Next Door" series about three Playboy models living in the mansion with Hef.
She has sort of described what sleeping with Hef was like. I guess he took enough Viagra to engage in threesomes, etc. which she was a part of.
Blech.
She has a couple of kids with Hank, and went through a separation from him when she found out he had gone to an apartment with a woman, who turned out to be a transvestite....

Kendra posed nude numerous times for Playboy and for Playboy videos. She also sued to block a sex tape that was going to be published that a high school boyfriend had taken of them.
She has moved on from the sex model life, but I do believe that Hef bags all of the women who live in the house, even if it is just one time.

341 >>>> A bit random perhaps, but this all reminds me of something I came across a few days ago. Over on Reddit was this discussion about the emasculation of men within the Mormon church.

>>> You're probably not going to get a clear, unbiased picture from a forum where ex members of a group sit around and talk about how terrible it was to be a member of that group. Just sayin'.

>> I think we found the mormon in in the group.

> Yep. So?

LOL. Well, need I really point out the irony? Mormon says ex-Mormons are biased and shouldn't be listened to. You mean kind of like how Mormons are biased or is this some other special type of bias that trumps your bias?

342 seriously thats pathetic

I've heard Justin Bieber will randomly approach women at parties and ask, "Are you a Belieber?" No charm, no patter, that's it.

Well, given I didn't say that, I suppose it's good you explained it to me.

Idiot.

As a reminder, here's what I actually said, "You're probably not going to get a clear, unbiased picture from a forum where ex members of a group sit around and talk about how terrible it was to be a member of that group.

Just sayin'."

See anywhere where I say you shouldn't listen? Or did I actually just say they might not be unbiased?

346 And here's a MIL joke for those that had MIL they didn't like:

The wife's mother said: "When you're dead I'll dance on your grave" 'Good, I said, I'm being buried at sea/'

When you are rich/famous/musician you don't need a line. You don't even need to talk. It doesn't even matter what you actually say, just paying attention to some women in that status will cause them to melt.

Uh oh, must have really hit a nerve. Did I offend your gold digging adulterous profit or something? The implications of what you said are clear, you just don't want to admit it. Unless you have a specific reason to offer that discredits exmormons as having nothing useful to say about mormon culture, STFU. Considering that you're hanging around here, you're probably one of those mormons that drinks up all your beer on a fishing trip huh? I have a feeling your church wouldn't approve.

351 bonhomme, btw, wasn't Joseph Smith the first socialist in America? That whole Nauvoo thing, the bank he started, etc.? What was it called, law of consecration? Shouldn't you be voting for Bernie. Snark aside I'm genuinely perplexed by the whole dichotomy. Your church talked about Zion and is clearly communist in nature. It has blessed us with men like Harry Reid and Mitt Romney, among other turds like Orin Hatch. But then at the same time it votes 90% republican. I'm not sure what to think about this.

352 I was hot for Tasha Yar too, though I must have been twelve. The actress had a drug problem, and got help. The death of her character was coordinated with that, and the cast and crew were helpful IIRC.

Posted by: BourbonChicken at February 04, 2016 06:31 PM (VdICR)

353 333 There's a documentary on Netflix called Chaos on the Bridge that goes over how Next Generation was started up and why the first few seasons were so godawful (hint: Roddenberry went full commie retard

I seem to recall an early episode where the crew did some Prime Directive violatin' & basically preached a free love gospel to a developing civilization. I always wanted to see what became of that planet, did it become like Detroit with the destruction of the family, or like Europe & just wither away until invaded by a culture that actually reproduces?

354 Figures this Wheaton palooka would be a Scalzi fan.

Scalzi writes the kind of politically-correct, homogenized rehash of Robert A. Heinlein's themes that would click with a twit like Wils-boy.

And he's a flaming lefty, of course.

355 So, fun story about Wil Wheaton's avatar.

Thanks, pookysgirl!

I like Questionable Content, but you're right, it's definitely become very preachy as to the proper way to live the Way of the Left.

Your take on the situation was very interesting.

Posted by: Sort-of-Mad Max at February 04, 2016 06:46 PM (DLu2s)

356 Hey everybody.

Wheaton is just another example of someone who, because he got extremely lucky in his chosen career and made enough money that he never has to work again... thinks that therefore means he's smarter than 99.999% of the world and has the right to tell others how to live.

One thing I'm learning big time as I get older: some people literally cannot. emotionally. handle. success.

362 That sure is a lot of words--and this is a lot of comments--about Wil Wheaton. I mean, come on. Wil Wheaton.

Posted by: Jim at February 04, 2016 08:15 PM (JTwsP)

363 Wil Wheaton is a worm. And it is ironic that as an adult he is living in the same namby-pamby, kumbaya, let's all hold hands with alien monsters that are trying to kill us, make believe Star Trek world he acted in as a kid. Only difference is that in this real world the monsters are real.
And many of them are female. Heh.

Posted by: LGoPs at February 04, 2016 08:35 PM (SK7CK)

364 And that some people call Hillary's supporters "Hillary bots." I call
Marco's supporters RubioBots. Trump's supporters are called Trump Bots.

----

(name)Bots is terribly uncreative.

I hereby nominate 'Rubes' as the nickname for Rubio fans. Trump supporters are, of course, Trumpets. Cruz fans get to be Cruzers.

I don't have any ideas for Carson, but I'm sure someone else will.

365 So I read a hysterical twitter account about stuff overheard at horse shows. I find it funny because I grew up showing horses, surrounded by oblivious rich white women (and even more oblivious rich white teenaged girls). I suppose I too was a rich white kid but I did have to work for my horses (had horse related jobs, not working in a meat packing plant). So as I got older, I heard a term for the kvetching rich white females do at horse shows: "First World Problems."

So the point of all of this is when I listen to these harpys complain, all I hear is a rich white teenaged girl saying "OMG! I just spilled Starbuck's on my $2000 saddle!"

367 Not that I have any desire to take up for Wheaton in this matter, but bro is now being used as a pejorative. My fav recent example is the term brogrammer used in the software industry to describe young white dudes flaunting their fledgling coding skillz to the annoyance of other team members.
