I made this thread as joke. You are all way too obsessed with wanking over social justice. Can we talk more fandom things now?

Why not both?

Because the social justice wank here is exhausting, and pretty much a place for the anti-SJW people to rant about how they hate social justice, and the social justice people to say it has a point, and both sides won't see eye to eye, with a few neutral comments thrown in, and it's pretty much just a place to start wank.
I find it hilarious that the people here complain about how tumblr is infested with social justice, while the majority of discussion here is wanking over social justice.

Don't read it?

That's what happens when people start threads like these. If you hadn't, it wouldn't be here. :\

It's equal amounts of the SJ crowd and the anti-SJ crowd bringing it up, and you've just +1'd yourself.

OP
Trust me, if I hadn't, GC would still be full of social justice topics anyways.

One less.

but where is the lie?

I love that meme so much. :-)

TBH, you should have seen this coming.

If you want a fandom thread you should make a fandom thread Sherlock.

"Guys, guys, I made a thread about Sherlock!"

/people proceed to discuss Sherlock

"Ha HA it was just a joke, I didn't really mean to start discussion about Sherlock. Why are you all talking about Sherlock now? Guys?"

Bad choice, a Sherlock thread would be just as much about social justice as this one

Missed the point, it was about how "it was just a joke" makes absolutely no difference when there was zero indication it was a joke and it was a likely thread to happen in all seriousness.

Did you think I had a side on SJ or something? I don't. I was only commenting on how badly done the joke was.

Nah, I was just trying to joke about how discussion about any Moffat-related show is inescapably SJW-related

OP
I kind of thought a thread titled "Social Justice Wank" would be a bit of an obvious joke. Clearly I overestimated fandom secrets.

Yeah, because it's everyone else's fault that you look exactly like every other pro/anti social justice troll. You keep on believing that.

If Sherlock had made this thread he would have to steal someone else's laptop to follow it. Srsly does the guy does not know how tabs work?

Hahahaha, well played.

OP
I actually thought the joke would be way more obvious, but I guess it did prove my point that people here are obsessed with wanking over social justice.

For some of us, this is our only place to vent about social justice antics. (In my case, I can vent to my husband as well, but I do want to give him a break from my thoughts on occasion because it can be a lot to deal with.) So I'm not going to see it as a joke. I'm going to see it as an effort to sequester the chatter to one place to make life easier for everyone else.

OP
Lol, maybe I came up with a good idea? It would be nice if all the social justice wank ~~I just can't bring myself to call it disucssion~~ would be kept to one thread. I'm not hating on you all for wanting to talk about social justice things, but I do find it disappointing when I come to GC and most of the threads are about social justice stuff. I feel like it's even seeped into the secrets, and the discussions on the secrets. The whole "social justice had taken over fandom" isn't just true for tumblr, it's true for places like fandom secrets too. :/

AYRT

For me, social justice has taken over people I've known for years, and it's hard to discuss complex issues like racism with them because of it. As a result, when I see activists being racist, it bugs me, and most secret communities react the way my friends and acquaintances do. At least here I can talk about it and get halfway reasonable responses in return. Even if there's disagreement, I actually find the responses here to be far more reasonable than what I'd get elsewhere even for non-fandom issues.

Congrats, you've become the f!s Victor Frankenstein. The creation has broken free from the creator.
