AWE FUCK I GOT NINJAD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY HOURS OF WORK.
Okay we should have a more organized way of doing this so that this doesn't happen again.

But chewing? In your quest to throw in as much overwriting as possible, you landed on chewing?!

This troon's grasp of simile almost reminds me of the pictures on WikiHow, where you wonder if the guy drawing them has ever even seen a dog in his life. At least you can actually tell what the WikiHow hack is trying to do. I have no clue what would possess anyone to describe just frying food this way. Just say they fried food!

the multiple summaries of the chapters didn’t bother me, i liked reading both because you each highlighted different crimes against literature, giving me a fuller picture of the utter lack of talent on display here.

it really bothers me that this Twitter brained coom-lord can’t go 3 sentences without making an internet reference. dude literally can’t think about anything other than internet culture. memes spoken aloud, constant references to Tumblr and Twitter, esoteric gender shit, acronyms incomprehensible to anyone unfamiliar with niche belief systems of the terminally online. micah and all his sycophants think this book is a great piece of art that will have a lasting impact on culture? what about anyone who didn’t grow up speaking English and therefore reads the book in their second language, or reads a translated version (may God have mercy on the translator)? how can this be a truly culturally important work of art if 20 years from now no one knows what a Gordon Ramsey meme is? what about the people who don’t know right now?
Harry Potter was translated into basically literally every written language on the planet. In 10 years, Micah, will you be able to say the same?

you can also tell how terminally online this guy is by his total unfamiliarity with what kind of physical feats a body can perform, what things sound look or smell like, what different pains feel like, etc. to give him credit dude definitely seems to be intimately familiar with and capable of describing what it feels like to air your gunt out over a fan.

i’m also wondering if this dude is going to mention every single time when a woman is on her period.

I'm actually curious to know what Gretch will have the women do with the prepubescent boys or ones going through puberty, are they thrown out, castrated, killed or worse yet are the troons caring for them?

An air conditioner falling directly on a head could very likely kill someone. It could definitely break the skull.

I took an anatomy class in college. One afternoon after lab I and my lab partner stuck around to ask the teacher something. For some reason we ended up holding a real human skull, not the fake plastic ones.

Frens, our skull is incredibly light and fragile. The real skull felt much thinner and far more delicate than the plastic ones and it was definitely lighter in weight. I think if I squeezed it too hard I could have shattered it. It was an incredible experience.

Could an air conditioner from the second floor (I assume) crush him and tear his head open and brains spill everywhere, etc? I doubt it.

Fatal skull fracture? Hell yes. A box of kleenex in the back window of your car will kill you if it hits your head in a 55 mph collision.

Edit: werdz

Honestly, the pigs get extra food. In this universe, pigs may become the dominant species — they’re already being pampered by their human pets getting all kinds of organic matter as food. Besides, piggies won’t mind eating zombie balls (frankly, it’s probably one of the better things on their menu).

Still can’t get over the “no more game” bs comment at the start, but we still have goats, pigs, and deer…

 

[jumboseafood]

Interesting. Doesn't strike me as very realistic, but I am aware that I can be a little autistic about things.

I mean you wouldn't be wrong but this whole novel makes no sense.

This novel is the worst incarnation of the long-dead Mr. T Ate My Balls meme.

 

[Hugbox Kommissar]

Woo! Sheetrock bucket returns!

The flashback to Beth getting kicked out of the socjus collective is the only part that rings true so far. Don't know if the author is drawing on their own or someone else's experiences but they really nailed the tone: the performative sympathy, the faux sincerity, the petty grudges. Good shit.

Spoiler: TERF Gestapo raid nitpicking

Were they expecting resistance? The way they led with a gas grenade makes me think they were, but then they didn’t seem to have their guns out when they entered. If they weren't expecting resistance why waste the grenade?

 

[AMHOLIO]

why is the plural of TERF "terves". It's an acronym? "Trans exclusionary radical vagina e-havers sapians"?

Troons are retards and now it's any feminist is a Terf, not an acronym, but a word. I like it better than bitch since it sounds technical and like we got a swag gang. I'll even include honorary male terfs in our sick gang as long as they dunk on troons.

Only comment for this chapter:

where she’d played Magic: The Gathering and

Beth didn't ever shower beforehand. My guess is that Beth is going through a type of redemption arc: a sinner before he was lead to God, a piece missing all his life, he was relentless and cruel like all other males. Converting to his inner self turned him towards Christ and has lead to him surviving the first phase of rapture for his conversion, now he struggles with the sins of his past self when he was angry and took his anger out on everyone since he wasn't alllowed to have the revelation of god by society (i.e. troons framed as bad lead him to delay his conversion, societys fault for implementing toxic masculinity).


I'm trying to say this is the incel > troon pipeline, I'm sure of it. Let's see if he's written any sort of sympathetic or if Gretch can't help but blame society for his problems.

For some reason we ended up holding a real human skull, not the fake plastic ones

Did you quote Hamlet?

 

[Niggaplease]

yeah sperging about chapter 8 ahead

this is what annoys me about the protagnists, and endears me to the terfs, the whole woes is me shit.
Nigga your in a zombie apoclypse that affects biological males, unless you went through with the whole cut your dick and balls at surgery then your a walking time bomb. if the women in your little hippie compound were so TrAnSpHoBiC, they would've sent the tranny with the axe wound with you on your way out. But they didn't because the one with the am hole lacks a fucking penis and balls therefore unless that tranny took t they would probably not even produce enough testarone to become a rape zombe, assuming I go by logic, and not your half assed world building lore for the rape zombies. even if it was the half assed logic, how would your average fuck know as society breaks down about you eating zombie balls some how magically keeps you from going ape shit, or even know with a castrated tranny might still pose a risk?
I am assuming society breaks down as the virus springs up all at once and not in pockets with one country getting the virus and spreading it to a another. then information about the plague will be limited, medical researchers would probably have only hours at best days to figure out whats going, hospitals would become overwhelmed with infected, services like police and military will break down, even basic communication of information would be severely limited. your average woman would probably know fuck all about whats going on or how to cure it or how to prevent it, and will probably have to go with the basic instincts and logic, pp means stay the fuck away from me. that kind of simplistic logic.

On top of this, any group going around killing real women during a zombie apocalypse would be genocided so fast their tiny little tapered heads would spin.

and not with shitty crossbows, this america god damn it if a troon shot at me in a post apocalypse they'd be eating buck shot.

Dude just tell me you want another chapter and I’ll make sure we have no more overlap. It’s not a one-per-customer deal.

Also terf is a great word but the plural “terven” is my favorite. It’s like a coven of terfs. It’s a word with FANGS.

 

[umami's milk]

Well if I'm going to just be messaging you anyway, wouldn't it just be better to have a group convo with every volunteer and just relay information on who is doing which chapter that way? So that the volunteers know who's doing any chapter at any given time.

 

[Great Monkey King]

a look that said You know, and I know, that somewhere under those blunt bangs and that mismatched foundation you’re still every bit the man you’ve always been, and you’ll never be anything else.

How is this book pro-trans?? Actual question. How are trannies reading this and going "YES! SO EMPOWERING!" or whatever it is that makes them love this book so? I know, I know. They like it because people are beating up women and the incel to troon pipeline is strong. But if an actual woman had written this, they'd all be crying about how it is violent transphobic propaganda.

Edited because fuck autocorrect.

I don't even get a chapter then again I suck at formatting and I'd sperg too much, everything this troon says about women kind of make me mati.

 

[Lazy Printer]

I know that its some kind of fetish that he have but i think that it also a way to say that he is a trully and honest woman like he wants to say "I get it! women have periods! Its normal!" in order to get praise from handmaidens or something.

that's what's so boring about this whole premise, the second you see it's about men being turned into rapist murderers it's obvious the book is about women's bathrooms and just painting women who aren't totally comfortable and accepting of trans women in their spaces as overly accusatory and punishing innocent transwomen and blah blah blah same exact string of nonsense tweets meant to shame women you've seen a million times before. It's not a clever allegory because everything is just explained openly from the outset, it's not a good satire/meta-commentary because it's written from the perspective of a person who's way too invested to see the forest for the trees, it's literally just an argument someone had in the shower except they wrote the whole thing down. How are you supposed to get invested if you know right away that the moral conflict of the story is just the whining of some narc who refuses to listen to people?

Right?

I'm trying to think of how to make this plot work, and I think the answer is to not rework this plot, but to set things when the Ball Plague first hit.

An unfair worldview (as Gretch sees it) could be laid out with an opening scene where an Evil Group Of Mean Girl Terves haughtily tells them that they're in the wrong bathroom. Team Gretch tries to defend themselves, but makes a clusterfuck of it by pointing to a woman with obvious PCOS and being like "how do you know that we're not women but she is?" This rightly offends the terves, even though Team Gretch was just trying to make a point about beauty standards. Team Gretch miserably leaves, unhappy that these bio-essentialists care about such nonsense and that trans women are always assumed to have the worst motives.

Cue the Ball Plague news as they walk back out into the shopping center, and an immediate subsequent attack by a few nearby men going feral.

Over the course of the novel, women all around the world discover that they are united by their ~~~feelings of womanhood~~~ and they must ~~~band together to protect those most vulnerable women who don't fit the mold.~~~ The evil, exclusionist terves are eventually seen as a destabilizing force to this new, scrappy, woman-centered understanding, and are cast out into the wilderness so that their Real Women selves can face off with the Real Men, as they clearly want.

Bam. Plot arc that justifies Gretch's worldview, villainizes terves, and has momentum. Done.
