lots of people who call themselves SJWs are obnoxious assholes about it, and I won't deny that, but that's still better than intentionally antagonizing and insulting people, or saying that respecting people is just too annoying to you, which is what makes you a shitstain. it costs you nothing to not be an asshole, so why not refrain from it?
at the end of the day the greater evil is people treating other people like shit for no reason, not people being obnoxious ABOUT the people who are treating others like shit. ideally both sides would calm the fuck down and move towards a solution but that won't happen any time soon, if at all.
Yes, there are extremes on both sides and clearly neither is acceptable, I don't know how I can be more clear about that? but the answer isn't exactly in the middle of the two, the endpoint needs to be somewhere on the "treat everyone fairly" side of the scale. Where it's at now is simply unacceptable. I'm not saying "oh you can't say this" or "this should be censored" but I am saying "if you say shit, you deserve to get called out on it, and deal with the consequences" whether that's lack of sales of a product you're pushing, or just being disliked/shunned/whatever.
Stop having this conversation the way corey wants to have this discussion. The only person in the thread talking about social justice warriors is the guy complaining about social justice warriors. Ignoring the gigantic gap that exists between being a decent thoughtful person and being a social justice warrior.
Except most people on here aren't actually decent thoughtful people. Bolded the important part but they aren't decent either.
Shame tactics are some ol' fascist bullshit.
Lets try to keep this on target though because this discussion surely isn't about Faux News anymore.
yeah, like with many many other issues I feel like both extremes will just force each other to be more and more extreme and shit will just stay fucked, i don't even know why I bother to try posting about it/discussing it irl.
edit: and honestly, I probably take a lot of the frustration I have from dealing with ignorant/hateful people irl out on here, which is shitty of me. easier to tell random posters that I think they're assholes than to tell someone I know personally. sorry about that.
Someone get walk a coffee.
On topic: I wish they would do aljazeera. I am curious where they would be on the spectrum.
It's weird to me when people use the term SJW as an insult. I can't think of a more worthy cause to fight for than social justice. Must be nice to have so much privilege that you can't see that.
It's weird when people defend people who are literally batshit crazy. I can't think of a more worthy cause than shutting them up. There's a difference between social justice and Social Justice Warriors, who are on the extreme polar opposite end of Fox News Warriors
We're trying to get a batshit crazy person to shut up too, but you keep posting.

there used to be a newspaper called social justice just before the second world war
It was anti semitic and facist
