Allecto

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

_allecto_ is a batshit crazy "feminist" from the land down under who's name is Dani, She lives in the Blue Mountains in the state of NSW. She is a self described "lesbian separtist" whose journal posts mostly consist of of Youtube videos or long screeds about how all pop culture is an endorsement of the patriarchy.. She also makes no sense, and has way too much time on her hands.

[edit] Overview of the stupid

Her user profile encourages free speech...except when it doesn't. To wit:

“	First of all, this journal is for women who have a genuine interest in women's rights and commitment to sisterhood. Discussion has always been a vital part of the development of the women's movement. If you disagree with something published here, please don't hesitate to say so unless your opinions fall under the banned comments section. If you do want to engage me in a discussion about something I have posted on my journal, please treat me with respect. You have every right to disagree, you have every right to tell me how and why, but you do not have the right to insult your own intelligence by attempting to insult mine. I am not easily offended and I will merely have a good laugh at your inanity before deleting your comment. So, don't be stupid if you actually want your comment to be published. Banned Comments All comments that are: pro-porn pro-prostitution woman-blaming racist misogynist lesbophobic pro-capitalist ...or otherwise woman-hating will not be tolerated on this journal and will be automatically deleted. I love to have good discussions with other women who do not always agree with me. But I will not allow comments that are insulting, woman-hating or potentially silencing of women.	„
—_allecto_, making complete sense

[edit] Fear of rape

For someone who claims to be so badass and strong, to want a journal that "let[s] it all hang out. let it seem bitchy, catty, dykey, frustrated, crazy, nutty, frigid, ridiculous, bitter, embarrassing, man-hating, libelous, pure, unfair, envious, intuitive, low-down, stupid, petty, liberating. We are the women that men have warned us about." she has a very strong fear of being raped. Though she did advocate lesbianism as a viable birth control method. That counts for something, right?

[edit] Why She's Lulz-Worthy/TL;DR

This luser's main claim to fame, such as it is, is a 2,764 word screed on how Firefly is a sexist piece of rape endorsing trash. As of early April 2008, this post had recieved 146 comments. Now, you're allowed to not like Firefly, after all, most of its viewers are basement dwellers just like you. But claiming a show with 3 women as main characters, 2 of which are very skilled with either weapons or machines, and the third is the only successful businessperson on the ship somehow indicates "how much men hate us" is a bit hard to believe.

“	For myself, I’m not sure that I will recover from the shock of watching the malicious way in which Joss stripped his female characters of their integrity, the pleasure he seemed to take from showing potentially powerful women bashed, the way he gleefully demonized female power and selfhood and smashed women into little bits, male fists in women’s faces, male voices drowning out our words.	„

To this end. she read the scripts of every episode, and counted the number of times that male and female characters spoke. She comes out with 458 for men vs. 175 for women, which, well...it's a show about a male character, primarily, and what the hell does the ratio have to do with anything? Oh, and because of the way the show is written, it means that Joss Whedon "Beyond a shadow of a doubt...uses his own wife in this way. Expects her to clean up his emotional messes. Expects her to be there, eternally supportive, eternally subservient and grateful to him in all his manly glory. I hope the money is worth it, Mrs. Whedon. But somehow I doubt that it is. No amount of money can buy back wasted emotional resources."

Oh, and having a black woman on the show makes him a racist. Really.

Then there's the comments, which just get dumber from there.

In short, a classic example of Unwarranted self importance.

[edit] Where Are They Now?

As of January 2008 _allecto_ has migrated to WordPress. Her new blog can be found here. She may also have started dating BitingBeaver, because they both agree that a teenage boy looking at porn means that he's going to become a rapist. Oh, and he should be aborted retroactively.
