    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

    SJW feels like a bad comparison group to gamergater.

    Maybe terfs as a group instead?

    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

    which is more important

    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. :D

    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.

    Does Desmond count in assassins creed

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

    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.

    Social Justice Warrior used to mean something, dammit!

    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.
