I read plenty of hokey and reductive political stuff on tumblr, but I have also read a lot of insightful posts where someone lays out their experiences as, like, a queer anarchist person of color and it is interesting and different from my life and I feel like I have been given some kind of insight.
yeah i like that stuff
trying to get your head around different perspectives is interesting and i think important
Anyone who identifies as an SJW can't really be offended when they're lumped in with people who invent new gender pronouns for their alternate personalities.
uh, why not?
I fucking hate that caring about something suddenly makes me the same as an idiot of tumblr and therefore my opinion just as easy to dismiss
Woah woah
You were willing to lump someone who used a term in with people who are fucking vile human beings, because they also use that term.
You don't get to paint people with a broad brush and then object when it gets done to you. We all play by the same rules here.
I actually firmly believe (and can probably prove) that we are all NOT playing by the same rules. Although many people will go to great lengths to prove that we are all playing by the same rules. This applies to pretty much everything, in this thread, in D&D, in all games, in the whole universe.
When someone says "SJW" they don't mean "Makes good political and social points to correct misgivings with the current structure of western civilization"
They're exaggerating the "warrior" bit of that to mean "crude, rude, dude(tte)s who think there's a point to be made by being a jerk to everyone who's not a *kin."
So no, don't take offense to "SJW" hate if you're a feminist/egalitarian. That's like getting angry at everyone else for hating the gammadion cross because the NAZI's propagated your design to push a hate message.
The term is being used much more widely these days, from what I've seen. Obviously the gamergaters are an extreme but anyone questioning if maybe there should be more female or poc main characters in media can get the label thrown at them.
GTAV is the only game of recent memory where one of the main characters is a POC.
GTA is a pretty progressive, if satirical, game in its own right. It's too bad people ignore it.

I dunno... I could see someone bitching he's too white. He's arab right?

GGers proudly wear their label. They don't get painted with a brush they wear a team jersey
says one social justicey thing suddenly you are a SJW
I was more talking about lumping in anyone who uses that word pejoratively with the GGers.

@Bogart@Jacobkosh The Invisibles is awesome, you should know. Well, I guess you do. Took me a while to get started on reading. I still haven't finished the first book.
@Elki fuck yes! And the good news is, it gets better. Like way better.

i am a little frosty at nerds and social justice people for ruining fedoras
frankie bought me one like a decade ago and i wore it out to fancy things sometimes and thought it was smart!
and now they're ruined!
I still rock mine on occasion cuz I'm not sure anyone in my entire social circle is aware of reddit/tumblr/whoever ruined fedoras and created the dumb m'lady meme thing
Please consider the environment before printing this post.

Fedoras can work if you're dressing like you should be wearing a fedora.
If you're wearing a silk shirt with flames and JNCO pants... a fedora is probably not the concept one should entertain. Besides, you don't want to get cheeto dust on the brim anyways.

it's a pretty bad comparison because of what the two issues stand for (at least on their face)
Social Justice vs Ethics in Game Journalism

@Donkey Kong
I beat someone in a vidya and they call me a try-hard and I kinda had to wonder if they meant it as an insult at first
yeah maybe I do try hard — I'm pretty happy with doing that.
yo I dunno man I didn't make it
Plus there's boobs and drawings of cyborgs
we watched a Columbo last night and the murderer guy had a sick fedora
looked so classy
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

he keeps it to himself mostly >.>
I uh
Are you minimizing when I get upset and afraid when people follow me and my boyfriend around and call us faggots
Is that what's going on here
it is upsetting! i looked pretty good in hats!
for a while i could still pull them off, since i wear a jacket and tie most days
i mean maybe i looked a little like a hipster, but at least i didn't look like a self-pitying viciously misogynist nerd
now they're just lost

It wasn't just a pejorative for anyone who happened to care about social justice issues.
It was a very specific kind of person for whom "getting righteously indignant at every single thing ever" was a way of life.
There's maybe one person on these forums who I'd have described that way but now the term iw so watered down what's the point anymore.
