Worst of Social Justice

[Murdin]

Now, can we try to learn to get over it and assume that most here are good people with good intentions and try to find common ground?

Honestly, this pretty much describes my main beef with UP here. Well, I certainly wouldn't say that most people are "good with good intentions" since I'm an incorrigible cynic, but you get the idea.

People who feel the need to express their frustration about a celebrity that refuses to explicitly identify with their cause are not "fanatics" and "the worst of social justice". This kind of irrational tribalistic behavior is so commonplace everywhere that it is absolutely pointless to single out a group for practicing it. Meanwhile, as you said, openly misandrist thinkers like Dworkin who put their toxic rhetoric on print are better examples of "bad feminism" than some girl who went verbally berserk during an encounter with an abrasive bunch of ideological opponents. So much for him being critical of "callout culture"...

Alrighty folks, let's get this shitshow back on the road:


No they fucking aren't. They might be part of the lgbt+ community, but they aren't "queer".


Trans Jesus headcanons... yeah, you're going to hell.


Wha... I don't... aplatonic? The fuck?


"Supposedly". "Supposedly". Christ.

Queer on tumblr is basically slang for "any LGBT+ plus group"

Aplatonics: When you look at Norman Bates and think; "MY GOSH, I AM JUST LIKE NORMAN!"

[guizonde]

wait. wait... wait... waitwaitwait.

aplatonic. as in non-platonic? incest: keeping it in the family! 

also, repeating something does not make it true.

The real way to win in SJ - just imitate your enemy's infantile name calling.

That cannot go wrong and give certain people ammunition against you as well as notions of a high horse and a gate to go dashing out from.

So is this proof that Tumblr thinks all cis people are "cis scum" and all men are "dudebros"?

Note: The above is not me being serious. It's me joking and sucking at it.

Well, as a man who thinks getting insulted (?) by a tumblrina is a sign I'm living right, I really wish they'd be more creative.

Fun (?) fact: There's a local term for straight people that is coincidentally identical to a racial slur in English.

It's somewhat insulting, depending on who you ask, but most people don't even know it exists so they don't really take offence. That's the typical thing with trying to throw slurs at the for-lack-of-a-better-word privileged, they don't really have the social power to make it threatening, and so people don't really care.

I don't want to say "slur = disparaging nickname + power", but...


also, where's davedan when you need him?

[rookie]

Sigma, you realize we're all going to start guessing now, right?

[Sigmaleph]

Fun as that sounds, you probably shouldn't fill this thread with slurs. It's used primarily in the UK and short for Pakistani, that should give you enough to know what I mean.

[Kat S.]

Can anyone figure out this math?

[Even Then]

It equals to ten kilograms of bullshit.

probs a troll blog tho

[guizonde]

that doesn't make any amount of sense whatsoever.... 0.o
