“Feminism in 2018,” Watson captioned the post.
Initially stumbling upon Watson’s post, I assumed it was real. I’ve covered enough bats*** crazy feminists’ theories and unintelligible blog posts that such an asinine concept seemed more than fitting to have come from a sincere feminist fresh off her gender studies degree.
While I was eagerly searching for the actual article, it became apparent that the post was a fake, perfectly satirizing the insanity of third-wave feminism. And then things became even more hilarious: the satirical site was actually shut down by the prankster who created it because — brace yourself — the writers were out-crazied by real feminists. Medusa Magazine was pumping out satirical takes, only to be one-upped by the real feminists — including ones who write for The Washington Post.
The Medusa Magazine creator announced the shutdown of the site in November. He has stayed somewhat anonymous, but revealed that he is also the owner of AgeOfShitLords.com. (Seriously.)
“[W]e are shutting down our rather hilarious project because we can no longer compete with our competition,” said the creator in a post hilariously titled, “I created ‘Medusa Magazine’ and I am shutting it down because Feminist stupidity has surpassed satire.”
“Myself and the fellow Shitposters who operated and published articles on this website while it lasted pride ourselves on writing fairly believable satire with just enough retardation to keep our readers in constant doubt. This has been fun, but all good things have to come to an end. I am shutting down this website because recent events have proven to us that it is no longer possible to satirize the Feminist left,” he wrote.
The creator hyperlinked to a Facebook post (which is currently unavailable) he allegedly published in May showing his premeditationregarding the site. “One of these days, I’m going to start a Feminist website. I’ll get a couple of Shitlords together, and we’ll write tons of satirical articles, but from a Feminist perspective, to make the site look more believable. It will be the ultimate Social Experiment.”
“Since starting the blog, our articles have been featured on several media publications like Info-wars, The Federalist, The Gateway Pundit, and several other websites that fell for our prank, including one Russian website that covered our article calling for ‘White abortions’, as proof of how politically correct the west has become,” he bragged.
He says he was eventually discovered because he used the same fake name to “buy medusamagazine.com that I had used to buy ageofshitlords.com a year ago.” Classic.
“[W]e are shutting down our rather hilarious project because we can no longer compete with our competition,” he continued. “We have come to realize that our competition is not other satirical websites, but rather the people we are trying to satirize.”
The site noticed they had been officially out-crazied when they ran an insane piece called “Why we should believe women who accuse right wingers of rape more than those who accuse liberals.” Just two days later, “an actual Feminist and self-proclaimed expert on ‘rape culture’ wrote an article for The Washington Post no less, using the same rational and reasoning as our satirical article that was written just a few days before,” he said.
The WaPo piece was amazingly titled, “I am a feminist. I study rape culture. And I don’t want Al Franken to resign.”
And there was more consensus on the issue from the Left:
“Its [sic] like they read our hoax article, agreed with it and then decided to incorporate it into their movement,” noted the creator.
“And that is why we are shutting down this website,” he stated. “Because there is no point in operating a caricature website of Feminism anymore when real life Feminists are now more insane than any caricature we could ever dream up.”
We are literally past the point of parody when it comes to feminists.
