"Neckbeards vs Legbeards": Or, Social Justice Extremism

People have a right to be bigots. If they want to hate all of a certain group of people, they have every last right to do so.

Trying to shut down bigotry is a fool’s errand and will usually only spawn more bigotry.

And just remember: it’s not a strawman if it’s based on actual encounters. And really, really, REALLY wanting it not to be true doesn’t make it not true.

Hell, they won’t even listen to people from the group they’re championing. If someone of that group takes a stance opposite of a SJW, they’re labeled a misguided at best, and a traitor at worst. It’s prejudice under another name, assuming that the oppressed can’t speak for themselves and should be shielded from the world.

I’d rather have a bitter enemy than a bitter ally. At least I can fight the enemy…

I can understand the problem with people speaking over oppressed minorities when they themselves don’t belong to the group, so the comparison is not really accurate, but the SJW take it to such extremes that they won’t even attempt to listen to people with actual high education in racial relations, politics and history, if that person is not considered sufficiently oppressed for their standards. It doesn’t matter if that person agrees with the SJW, because the SJW are not interested in educating or helping anyone – they only want verification for their bigotry and hatred.

Most of the SJW don’t even belong to the groups they are trying to “save” (no problematic sub-context there, nope, none at all) and are in fact the most privileged group of people in the world. It should be illegal for these people to speak about oppression or privilege, because they have no understanding what they are talking about when uttering those words.

At least there’s one thing we can all take away from this: SJWs fight themselves as much as, if not more than, they fight non-SJWs.

Feminist SJWs like to tear into trans SJWs for either “trying to fake femininity” (for MtF trans) or “abandoning their femininity” (for FtM femininity).

Gay SJWs and black SJWs often argue about homophobia in rap songs.

SJWs in general complain about the ignorance of people, but then also complain that “it’s not my job to teach you”, as well as dismissing any suffering or prejudice outside of their particular focus as “unimportant”.

Someone should make a list of Myths and Realities about SJWs. Just like what law enforcements and awareness education groups do to discourage young people from joining gangs.

First, educate people on what SJWs are. So they can distinguish them from real advocate groups.

If it were as simple as educating people of the ills of these idiots we wouldn’t have the problem in the first place.

It’s still worth a try. It can make those with any sense of rationality think twice before they make such rash choices. Zealots are already fucked up beyond repair. Find a way to marginalize them.

The closest thing we have right now is that “Welcome to tumblr” video. I’ve seen comments from people who already know about tumblr, but I don’t know what’s the reaction to someone who doesn’t know about it before watching the video, assuming that they are told everything in the video is not an exaggeration.

I know it’s picky, but why is it so common for these activists not to type correctly? Almost all of their posts are either in all capitals or all lowercase. Why? I guess the former is for when they have to scream/repeatedly hammer in a point and the latter is when they want to be all “funny” and try to laugh off people trying to talk with them. I swear I remember seeing someone call someone else out on this, and they responded with the typical fedora jokes and such about them being picky.

Kind of a shame when the basic rules of English grammar are apparently something to be associated with the hated group of your choice and avoided.

“4Chan Syndrome” ironically may apply to some of these people, as funny as the concept sounds.

I’ve seen that video, and the SJW rage that came with it. The guy did a good job in bringing out to light some of the worst of SJW behaviors.

And a perfect example of the SJW mentality shows up right here.

Oh for fuck’s sake, how much do I have to bet that these people are living comfortably in suburban homes and have too little to actually whine about so they make up bullshit to feel validated for their so-called oppression?

You know, hoping that whenever someone involved with the show talks about how much they agree with a Tumblr post that says that they make fun of fans on Twitter because of behavior, which they go on to describe as “autistic” didn’t read all of the post…

God that fucking artist. What the fuck is his deal? He just wants to try to act all above everyone while simultaneously drawing shitload of R34 of a kid’s show.

And he’s a fucking “professional?” With his shit jokes and teasing, then trying to be a fucking nanny when he wants to buddy up with show staff?

Fuck two-faced people. They are this fandom’s cancer.

I mad, I very mad. Guy who thinks waifu jokes are top comedy and that fans react to things that he apparently doesnt see as worthy, fucking draws a shitload of porn and then gets on a soapbox about what shitty people we are and how we’re a joke to the staff. And how we have no pull with Hasbro so we should stop complaining.

Hope that the post that was referenced wasn’t this shit one, but I don’t know.

There aren’t many artists I know who has connection with the staff, and the way you say it is kinda worrisome… Mind shooting me a PM? Or maybe you can just call the names here.

A few have that connection, but most have tact not to bring in fandom shit around them or try to use it to perpetuate something.

I have a good feeling I know who you’re talking about.

Yeah, that whole thing was just a tad hypocritical. What makes it worse is that the ones on Twitter that he’s talking about will never ever read that post of his and will continue right on their merry way.

All it did was make him look like even more of an asshole in my eyes.

The ones who do that on Twitter are the people who have accounts for no reason but to tell the staff how much they hated their work.

As if I needed a reason to dislike him beyond his art…

Can you shoot me a PM about the guy’s identity, too? Seeing you saying that kind of stuff about that person makes me realize how out of the loop I am with some of the fandom dramas.
