Worst of Social Justice

This is like watching an abusive relationship.

I'm reminded of this:

It must be such a burden, having to treat people who want to help with something other than blind, vitriolic hatred.  I feel your pain.

From a blog that replied to the above:

really allies should be treated as shitty as the opressors because its not like we can tell the difference

Her profile says this:

Hi everyone i'm Kaylee (but prefer to be called kaeli).  I'm 15 and really socially awkward. [. . .]  i'm (unfortunatly) white and cis and straight (ugh :( ikr) but trying to change.

Really hope she's a troll.  Notice how she says "not like we can tell the difference" like she's part of these groups when her profile clearly states she's not.

Good luck changing that whiteness. Maybe if you dig around in your ancestry enough you can find someone who's Cherokee or Mexican.

Reminds me of that one episode of South Park where Kyle tried to make himself into a tall black guy.

Well, if you dig back far enough, we all have African ancestors.

Yeah, but if the fraction is so large you can't quantify it, does it really count? Much better to be 1/128th Cherokee.

Or you can just listen to rap music and say you're a transnigger.

I've heard that sometimes people low on the internet. Maybe that could work here?

So now people are calling The Witcher 3 racist on the grounds that all the human characters are white.

Also, while I did not by any means see every city, burg and outpost in The Witcher 3's world in my 70+ hours spent within it, I don't recall a single non-white humanoid anywhere — not in Skellige, Novograd, Oxenfurt or anywhere else. Once I realized this I couldn't stop looking for any example of a person of color anywhere, and I never found it, unless you count naked monster women sitting at the feet of a boss like a slightly more awkward tribute to a Frank Frazetta painting. But maybe they're in there, somewhere.

The problem?  The game is based on Slavic mythology!  I mean, what the hell?  If somebody makes a game based on Hindu mythology, should they add Native American characters for the sake of diversity?

Jesus Christ, this is even more ridiculous than the "controversy" over Resident Evil 5/i].  Yes, God forbid a game set in Africa have black people as enemies.

[cinema sins] hahaha... that's racist.[/cinema sins] except if you're a tumblrina.

They used to just call themselves Wiggas.

because it could lead to thinking that it's just a preference not to be attracted to trans people, or to POC, or to any marginalized group.

Because it is.

Despite the fact that I have never met a (non-asexual) white person who wasn't attracted to at least some non-whites, attractiveness is still an utterly subjective and personal experience.  You don't ever get to tell a person whom they have to find attractive.  It's simply not your business.  And even if it was, it wouldn't matter because we don't really get to consciously decide who is and who isn't attractive for us.

Try to change the overall cultural understanding and representation of beauty, if you want to, that's a noble goal, but don't make this personal.  It just makes you seem like an authoritarian asshole.
