Mike Cernovich is a Dingus- And Other Thoughts
I used to hate hearing the word dingus batted around my classroom. At random, students in my first hour Spanish 1 used to shout it out. The preacher's son was a huge fan of it.
Then girls started shouting out "penis" at random in my 7th hour Spanish 2 the week before last. I instantly longed for the innocence of last year.
That night, I went back to the counselor for therapy.
I don't know if any of my students read my livejournal. So now I'm going to invoke a double standard. I don't like hearing either word for male anatomy batted about.
But Mike Cernovich is a dingus.
He has the gall to be moralistic towards James Gunn. And dredge up years-old tweets. I haven't read James Gunn's tweets yet. I might have if they had been unearthed by basically anyone else but Mike Cernovich.

Cernovich is the alt-right conservative commentator who published a book, which I haven't read but I can judge this one by its cover, it's a piece of shit; and he once was quoted as saying Date Rape wasn't a thing. That even though a woman, while unconscious, would be submitting to non-consensual sex, it doesn't qualify as rape. This man has a wife and a daughter. I certainly hope his perspective changes as his daughter ages into adulthood, and he has to worry about how young men are treating her. I hope he has some enlightenment.
But to me, he's the guy who got Guardians of the Galaxy 3 derailed. I see Marvel movies as hit or miss. But Guardians of the Galaxy is a corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that is unqualified success.
And the soundtracks. The Soundtracks! What an Easter Basket full of Easter Eggs! They elevated those films! I cared about the intergalactic gunfights and chases because they were set to great standards from the 1960's, 1970's, and 1980's! It was like a really good classic rock and oldies station that happened to play an exceptional, thoughtfull, well assembled set of tunes.
But Cernovich can't stand to see something that hits four quadrant demographics, including Democrats, do well. And James Gunn was outspoken against James Toback, among other directors who have vile history uncovered in the wake of the #MeToo movement. So Cernovich felt the need to be moralistic. But in doing so, god damnit, he really screwed things up. A lot of people, Democrats and Republicans, were looking forward to a Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. And I can tell you Cernovich wasn't whistle-blowing on James Gunn to protect anybody. That's not Cernovich's speed. He doesn't protect people. He throws people under the bus.
And this time, he is throwing theatre-going America under the bus. He's punishing anyone with the least liberal tendency.
Donald Trump once said Mike Cernovich should win the Pulitzer Prize for his book. The book that defends men being the chest-beating caveman chauvanists who should take an aggressive approach to women, and force them into bed. Donald Trump may have pulled strings with a Russian lawyer to get himself elected President of the United States.
But Mike Cernovich is never going to win a fucking Pulitzer Prize. Not. Ever.
Conflict is attention is his motto. In other words, it's good practice to go out looking for a fight? I've lost enough sleep over the past twenty-two months over our current president of the United States. I've wasted enough time worrying about our country with such an asshole at the end. But Mike Cernovich is such an unheralded douchebag, I think even he brings a little relief that we could do worse for our president. But that's more an insult to Cernovich than a vote of approval for Trump.
Attention is influence. Well, I'm paying attention to what he's saying. Not because I'm influenced. But because I'm concerned for the eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one year old college student girls, some mother and father's daughter, encountering every parent's worst nightmare, that their daughter is going to get persuaded, coerced, drawn against their will, forced into a bed, by some male lover who's that horny that he'll do whatever it takes to have her without submission. Alcohol. Rubedein.
Sexual Assault is any type of sexual activity that a woman does not agree to. Any type of sexual activity. Cernovich strikes me as not an academic man, not a particularly empathetic man, and not an intelligent man. But as long as people pay attention to this shitbag, he's going to keep selling books. I think people are more astonished than impressed by what he says. Btu enough people are impressed by what he says for me to have some veyr real concerns.
"I use trolling tactics to build my brand."
And men should be dominant alpha males and adapt a gorilla mindset, when dealing with the opposite sex.
He's fine with using and losing woman.
I think Mike Cernovich is so not beautiful of a man, so flatly contradictory to universal morals, including but not limited to Christian moral values, that I feel compelled to completely vote down the ticket Democrat (not something I do every time, but lately so), just to curb this man's influence.
Mike Cernovich needs to be made irrelevant. And fast.
More women could potentially be raped, assaulted, or drawn into bed with false promises because of this man. Let's have this man be a "whatever happened to that guy" former celebrity. I want that accomplished in the next couple of years. I hope I can't even remember his name in a year from now.
And Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 is still going to be made. It may take until 2021. By that time, hopefully, Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, Cory Booker, or Eric Holder will be President of the United States.
