That quote is from Jason Patric's character fantasized, fetishized memory of a gymnasium gang rape in high school, in the sauna scene in Your Friends and Neighbors, a play/ movie by Neil LaBute. In context, the character is a seemingly normal, average guy, but he holds deep secrets and pathologies. Much like the main characters in Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho or Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club, you are not supposed to be comfortable with, like, or worship them. They are warnings of the foibles and dark places in all of us, and how well horrors can be hidden from view very close to the surface. They were never meant to be heroes or role models, they are trickster teachers of how NOT to behave, and how to look for dangers in others.
The evil and problem is not in these characters having been created and offered to the public; much like guns or television, the danger is in how the reader/ viewer with deep pathologies inside them and limited comprehension turn these bad boys into heroes and icons. These wrongful, out-of-context applications reveal quite alot about those who would look to them for guidance on masculinity.
In the post, http://www.str8bro.net/2011/01/one-of-best-representations-of.html#more Adam/Kevin claims "it is one of the BEST representations of masculinity in film." No whole real male could ever think this way. Adam/Kevin, and the whole Str8Bro gurrumiao paradigm are totally based in second and third wave eugenic feminism, where all males are rapists, and penises are weapons.
As of this point, I will warn any G0ys or whoever else is onboard at MBP- NONE OF THIS MIND-FRAME WILL BE TOLERATED AT ANY POINT IN MBP, ON OUR SITE OR NY OF OUR BOARDS. TO DO SO WILL BE IMMEDIATE REMOVAL AND PERMANENT BANISHING.
