Yeah. I feel like I'm on an alternate reality tumblr or something because the things everyone complains about here are not things I see all the time. I'm sure they're out there and they're obnoxious and are probably even more common than they seem to me, but I have a really easy time avoiding them so the generalizations are so weird to me.

I never see these "SJW" going on a rant and using SJ to bully people - it just seems like a silencing tactic. folks can be annoyed when they've been shit on all their lives

I have seen this and it wasn't pretty. But it depends on the fandom/tag a lot and it's also not as prevalent as some people would like to have you think.

A while back a SJW bullied one of the Gamegrumps presenters and accused him of queer erasure because the SJW was convinced he was bisexual (despite him repeatedly stating he wasn't) and she posted a private email conversation in which she is very manipulative and treats him like the bad guy all for insisting he's not what she says he is. (And yet people like her are perfectly happy to scream their heads off if someone else uses the wrong label, but they're exempt!)

He promptly rips into her for violating his privacy, and while she immediately backpedals it's very clear she and her little friends still stand by their actions.

I see this kind of shit all the time on tumblr.

Do you dismiss everybody with a legitimate point who don't blackmail others?

What the fuck kind of question is that?

Shit, I didn't mean from that example! I should have been clear, I meant in general.

NAYRT

Hours later and I still have no clue what you're talking about, and its been on my mind since seeing this.

It's not a matter of "legitimate point", it's a matter of "none of your fucking business what anyone's sexual orientation/gender/whatever is and what they choose to make public about it".

I have seen that and I try to tell people to cut it out when I do see it.

What I don't see nearly as much of as people say there is is people acting like their fanon is canon. What I do see a lot of around here is:

[happy burbling about headcanon]

"That's not canon!!"

And I'm thinking "they never said it was...?"

Or a lecture about how it's fine to have headcanons as long as you don't act like it's canon, which is true, but there was no indication that they needed to hear it.

I'd add one other thing but that will probably get some of this aimed at me now.

Oh what the hell.

Sometimes I get annoyed when people say that a character must be 100% straight because they have only been seen with members of the opposite sex. That argument completely ignores the reality of bisexuality and being in the closet or in denial and it's annoying. Doesn't make the characters queer in canon (should I repeat that in bold so no one lectures me on that?) but the arguments are still annoying.

Yeah I have literally never seen it either. I grant that it might be a result of my pew pew fandoms, but seriously, it must be easy to avoid if I can get by without so much of a whiff of it, let alone full on drama.
