Worst of Social Justice

So, Wil Wheaton made the awful mistake of declaring someone his spirit animal.  SJWs take it upon themselves to call him out, and he explains himself.  Another SJW, pissy that Wil didn't just say 'sorry, won't do it again' responds to his reply, invoking "whitesplaining" and "tone policing".  Wil responds in a less than pleasant manner, and starts a SJW shitstorm.  All over the words 'spirit animal'.

Also, reading through notes of multiple posts about this incident, it strikes me as funny that SJWs bitch about "cis white allies who act like they have an equal voice to minorities", yet have no problems white-knighting for a cause or group that's not their own.  Bonus points if they ignore or argue with members of said cause/group.

Just me or are people really fucking extra sensative these days?  I sometimes wonder if it's possible to say anything without offending someone somewhere.

It's funny. You can bash Christianity to your heart's content and these people won't bat an eyelid, but even mention a concept from another religion in a less than reverential manner and to say they shit the bed would be the understatement of the century. Superstitious nonsense is superstitious nonsense, regardless of culture of origin. Just because non-Christians came up with the idea of "spirit animals" doesn't suddenly make it less ridiculous or somehow deserving of respect.

Hah, I saw that he'd use the phrase "spirit animal" the other day, and just knew it was going to end up becoming a shitstorm.

Tumblr is pretty much full with teenage girls with too high an opinion of themselves. Of course if the people they are "standing up" for dare to disagree with them, they obviously have "internalised misogyny/racism/what the fuck ever"

Funny that the alternatives they offer all stuff like patronus and other fictional concepts. I also loved that one reply Wheaton got where the person explains just how stupid this backlash against Wheatons use of "spirit animal" is and how the complainers had completely disregarded all european shamanistic tradition (so they basically were quilty of the crime they accused Wheaton of.)

Also I am reminded of one thing: Patron saints. You find all kinds of crazy-awesome people amongst them. Even though I'm not catholic I'm tempted to go pick a patron saint for myself. BUT I GUESS ONLY WHITE PEPPLE CAN USE THAT TERM!!!!2 I mean it's not like there would be any non-white catholics or orthodox people. Check your privileges PoC.

Wait a sec...Wil Wheaton?  As in Wesley Crusher?  Haaaaaaaaaaa.  Excellent response, brother, excellent response.

I wouldn't be too suprised if Tarrantino saw a picture of this guy somewhere and was like, "Damn, he needs to be a character in something!"  I can imagine him working like that.

Isn't he something like the Saint of Saints?  I mean, if we pathetic humans can reach the lofty goal of sainthood, surely the Lord himself can and has achieved it.  It'd be like Nikola Tesla not using lightbulbs.
