Worst of Social Justice

[Sigmaleph]

So are they saying then that a female sub who likes that kind of rough play "just doesn't know what's good for herself" and / or "is indoctrinated to be a slave"?

eh, sort of? The argument is that femsubs have internalised sexist social norms and most of them (us?) wouldn't be subs in a less sexist society. Not exactly about being a slave. Unless that's what youre into.

This same blogger, two posts down: "don't infantilize neurodivergent people!"

"Don't deliberately set off our serious mental problems out of petty revenge" and "Treat us as adults" aren't mutually exclusive.

I'm sympathetic to the message, but since I'm a total asshole I'm gonna say that you're a fuckin' dummy if you start shit with people who know your weakness.

[Canadian Mojo]

Without context I can't know for sure, but this sounds an awful lot like "I'm allowed to be an asshole, but you can't pick on me because I'm special."

Fuck that noise, if you can't swim stay out of the pool.

It could also mean "You don't have to pamper me like a baby but don't go off your way to be specifically dick towards me either." Like if you are arguing with someone over what's the best character in [insert comic book] and since they know that you have trauma relating to a certain subject they start spamming the thread with images about it knowing it will hurt you.

There's a difference between "you're not allowed to say anything if I'm an asshole to you because I have mental issues" and "deliberately aggravating someone's mental issues in retaliation for being an asshole makes you an even bigger asshole, there are other ways to confront someone than to mentally abuse them like that"*.

Dude, ET, we get that.  Nobody here is suggesting the latter is okay.  Thing is, a lot of these pics are describing the former, like the people who use (often self-diagnosed) Asperger's to be complete pricks to people.  Problem with that one is that there's no context, so its really hard to tell.  Alas, we're all...pretty jaded when it comes to this kinda crap.  Hell, that's why this thread started in the first place.

[Even Then]

Fair enough, and I'm not denying the former has ever happened. I'm just also jaded when people start talking about the former, because more often than not they're misconstruing the latter to be the former. A lot of jade going around, I guess.

I don't even know if I'd call this bad.  It's just really really silly.

And since when were Emoji's gendered?  That's new to me.

[mellenORL]

It's not intentional, mind you, but more of an over-sight by people who have designed anthropomorphic emojis, not the simple circular face ones, but the ones that look like people. Pretty much all of the many anthropo emojis I've ever seen were male gendered, no doubt just meant to be the "default" sex. But that is kinda lazy. I really liked the way the girls in this video expressed themselves. It's also kind of ironic that a menstrual hygiene product maker, Always, put out a corporate sponsored PSA that should maybe specifically mention that this is a great opportunity for designers working in .GIF and HTML code to produce and "market" lots of female gendered emojis. Overall, the PSA is kinda no big deal, except, once again, I realllly liked how smart, low-key, and self confident the girls and young women were in expressing their disappointment about this, albeit relatively minor, issue.

Where was that implied?

Yeah, the add is narmy as hell, and I think the idea that emojis are hurting the girls self esteem is absurd.  However, adding more emojis isn't a bad idea.

Funny. I thought this same rhetoric was used to justify transphobic remarks on imageboards.

It justifies just about any bigoted insult thrown a minority's way by a sufficiently anonymous haggler. "Here's what happens when you step out of line..."
