The "manosphere" is mad. Mad about Mad Max.

Pictured: So Mad

Now first, let's preface this with the well known fact that the "fake geek girl" is a complete myth. No woman, ever, has dedicated her free time to books, comics, games, movies, and TV shows, absorbing as much nerdy pop culture as possible in order to receive the much-coveted male nerd attention.

If you want to know what it takes to get male nerd attention, here's a video game character action figure with soft, squishable boobies.

Anyways, there's a new Mad Max movie, which is currently sitting at 98% on rotten tomatoes...

And the "manosphere" doesn't want you to see it.

You see, the first problem they have with it is that the writer is a woman. Not just any woman, but Eve Ensler, author of the Vagina Monologues. And that is bad because she's a woman who wrote about the experiences of women. You know how that goes.

And now, in true MRA fashion, they make statements so shockingly false that it becomes hilarious.

Hilarious

Really Hilarious

Yes, that's right. Mad Max doesn't take orders.

Except for, you know, from his boss, Fifi , in Mad Max 1.

"Aaaaaaahaaaaaa!!!" you might say if you were an MRA, and excelled at defeating your own arguments. "That was in the first movie, before Mad Max was Mad Max. The real Mad Max doesn't take orders. ESPECIALLY from WOMEN!"

Which is a fair point. The Road Warrior/Beyond Thunderdome Max would never take orders, especially from women. (wait for it)

EXCEPT in The Road Warrior when he was taking orders from the leader of the refinery settlers, Pappagallo, and his second in command, Warrior Woman. Warrior WOMAN.

And then of course there's the Aunty Entity (Tina Turner), locked in a power struggle for control of Bartertown with Master/Blaster. Aunty Entity bosses around and barks orders at Mad Max for a time and ultimately banishes him. Because she's more powerful than him.

American America for Americans

And to wrap it up, this "American" franchise is and always has been an Australian franchise.

Bro, do you even Mad Max?

Or, rather, to quote a professional quote maker: "The tone of this MRA article about Mad Max: Fury Road is something I've seen in person all of the time. In an enthusiasm to prove expertise in all things, they accidentally conflate "their" vision of how something is with how something is. So the same way you have an article like this where the person clearly never even watched any of the movies, you have dudes with minimal knowledge of a thing just sort of assuming that their take on it is the take.

Annoying know it alls with no grasp of reality beyond their own vision of how things ought to be have of course existed since the dawn of time, obviously that's not new. But I feel like I've been encountering this more and more where the disparity between the guy's take and the text of the media is so at odds that I have to question if they read or watched it. They're faking it to appear cool.

And again, I never hold it against someone if they're not into the same stuff as me or anything like that, just if someone's going to talk the talk..."

And there you go. No one has ever met this mythical "fake geek girl", but all over the internet, right now, are multitudes of manly men who have never seen the Mad Max trilogy pretending to be experts on it to earn cool points.

It's shameful what boys will do for attention.
