Aww, damnit. I've just got out of bed and here we go. OK.
Yes. I can't imagine why you're taking it so seriously. It's good that Jack made a double-posted, swearword-laden post explaining how silly you are for taking it so seriously. About eight times.
Yes. I am the swearword fucking king. Good morning Haus.
Alychmia, I direct you to one of my initial posts on page one of this very thread where I quote directly from Matrix Sorceror...
A direct result of this is that men have become mincing sissies, ineffective and impotent, and females (in consequence) are sexually unsatisfied harpies from Hell. The solution, then, is for Man to regain his lusty, Pan-like nature as a dominant sexual being, and for Woman to inherit her power as a sexually voracious receptacle of the god-current, or Phallus.
Hehe! Maybe he means that Women are receptacles of the God current, and therefore better at manifesting said current in the world? I don't know though, and I'm not getting any further into any of this shit, because I respect Women as equals, so yeah, I'm not straying down that path thanks.
Which I interpret as Jackie Boy saying that women are nothing more than objects to be penetrated by Teh Phallus! I find it interesting, and disturbing, that he feels that sex is one of the "vices" that keeps us souless humanatons plugged in, yet female warriors have to be "sexually voracious". Teen fantasy wank hour in my view.
Yeah, good point.
Jake doesn't care, he's written a book, he's had a laugh, he's written another one and put it online, he doesn't give a fuck what you think, he doesn't give a fuck what I think, the reviewers think, this forum thinks, that's that.
Then my criticisms of this poorly thought-out shovel full of stolen ideas and pseudo-philosophy shouldn't matter, should they? So I'll continue.
Of course, that's what I said in my second post.
He never intended for people to take things like that so seriously
Really? Because the introduction to Matrix Sorceror says different:
What concerns me more, however, is that particular portion of readers who enjoyed the book without feeling any need to take it seriously, who perceived the whole thing as a cunning and (hopefully) good-humored gag, and who took personal delight in partaking of this “gag.” (There are, I am assured, plenty of readers who took it as such and did not enjoy it, but they are not my concern here. If they know what is good for them, they will stay away from this present work.) Though I am gratified by this response, and indeed to some extent counted upon it, I must now risk the wrath of such readers by bearing some disturbing news. Matrix Warrior was not intended as a gag.
Perhaps it's in the subtext, hmm?
Ok then, maybe he never intended for people to take things like Women being irrational so literally. Or, maybe he did, but I'm guessing that he didn't.
Anyway, just because I've spoken with him a few times, it doesn't mean that I know what he thinks on everything, so I'll stop posting in here as if I'm defending him now. I guess that having spoke with him quite a bit, I see the person there, so I am sticking up for him in a way, but yeah, carry on if you want. Honestly though, I'm sure that after knowing him a little, I know that some of his stuff is written just to wind people up, and I'm sure that you're just taking the bait with some of this. |
