How nice you have something else you can sell
So, Amp of Alas has sold his domain to porn sites. He won't allow comments, didn't tell anybody about this, and won't respond. Only after

womanspace outed him did it really dawn on people how how shitty it was for a so-called feminist man who's gotten a lot of attention just for being a guy to sell out to pornographers.

laurelin points out that he had other options; giving a shit about women, for instance, but that would require he oppose the male trolls whose company he evidently finds preferable to that of uncivil feminists.

Well, shit.

What a wankin' arsehole!

Well, at least his true colors have shown at last. I hadn't visited that site much at all lately, but I'll be avoiding that place like the plague in the future.

At least I don't have any LJ posts referring to that site that I can recall. I'd be going back and editing to destroy the links if I did.

Perhaps his porn partners won't stay pleased with the deal for long. I'm sincerely hoping that when the word gets out among online feminists that he's just another male privilege wanker trying to use feminism for his own gain, traffic to his site drops drastically from their no longer visiting and feminist-bashers stop coming because there's no one there to bash anymore, and the porn advertisers get no revenue from his selling out to them.

	BTW, the womansspace link came out funny. They don't have an LJ account by that name. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	Jesus Farking Christ. I stopped going there a while back - Robert and his ilk turned me off the site - but it's nice to see that truth will out, eh? :( (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Yeah, pretty much. Men matter more to him in reality. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	Ampersand is a complete tool. In other news, the sun rose in the East today. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Yeah, but he's such a sneaky little jerk about it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	Yeah, adn I like how he didn't try anything but selling out women. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	I wish I could have that quality. I keep getting unpleasantly surprised because I have some standards, and it just keeps tripping me up every damned time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	Kind of proves the point about him only being a 'so-called' feminist man though doesn't it? Rather neatly and thoroughly. Asshat. (Reply to this)

	I see that he has finally made a post about this in order to respond to ......Hugo. All the women who are outraged about this are being ignored. No surprises there of course. I'd like to know exactly how much money he was paid. What is the going rate for selling out women these days? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	How he acted in the dispute he had with you sometime last year made it clear to me I didn't want anything to do with his site or pick up the LJ rss feed to it. He's written some good pieces--some of his theory is very good, but his practice stinks, and that's the bottom line to me. And this is in keeping with what I saw then. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	sold to porn sites... like... to make his site a porno site? Or just to generate revenues by linking to them? (Reply to this)

	Wow, that's beyond lame. I hope he likes his 30 silver coins. This makes no sense, not on an economic, technological, political or any other level. It. makes. no. sense! Dude, you're an idiot and a bloodsucking louse! (Reply to this)

	There are so many other ways he could have raised money. SO many other groups he could have sold the domain to. It's telling that this is the option he went with. (Reply to this)

	ginmar, those of us with long memories of the Ms boards are just fainting from unsurprise. IIRC (and Miranda can probably back me up on this one), Ampersand made his pro-porn stance clear in some very heated debates there. (Reply to this)(Thread)(Expand)
