Re: Weirdest stuff you've read online recently

[(Anonymous)]

I almost wonder if that person was a troll pretending to be a SJW?

Re: Weirdest stuff you've read online recently

[(Anonymous)]

Yep.

That's pretty much what I always assume when I see stuff like that.

I think it "works" because a lot of people are just waiting to see an SJW do something egregious, so that they can go off an an exasperated, yelling rant at whoever happens to be around.

(possibly one reason I tend to go with "troll." I hate being the "audience" for exasperated yelling rants, even if they aren't about me)

Given that actual SJWs have mistaken a blackfaced painting of Mozart for the "real" version of the painting (instead of getting mad at a concert hall using blackface in their advertising) I generally tend to assume it's either/or -- could be a troll, sure, but equally likely it's just some dumbass.

AYRT - ... my jaw dropped. Wow. They're SJWs but don't even know when it's blackface?

Re: Weirdest stuff you've read online recently

[dethtoll]

Nope. They're so deep into it that they assume that everything has been secretly whitewashed.

I mean, on some level I could see a troll coming up with that and everyone else just buys into it, but it's my view that most of these SJWs who do this shit are young and immature and ignorant as hell. The hope is they grow up, shut up, and smarten up -- preferably all at once.

AYRT - Well, there is some hope. I was close to the LJ equivalent of a SJW in my late teens/early twenties - not quite as bad, but I would scour news sites for stories about various atrocities, everything was offensive and had to be corrected... and often I just blathered on about things I didn't actually understand. My poor flist.

Re: Weirdest stuff you've read online recently

[dethtoll]

Haha, well, if you're living proof, then...

Part of why I stopped hanging out in predominantly male-oriented spaces (namely gaming forums) is because the older I get the more socially conscious I get and some people really, really don't like that.

Wasn't really blackface, though.

Re: Weirdest stuff you've read online recently

Maybe they were confusing him with Beethoven? Dude was actually part black.

If it wasn't on Mark Reads, maybe? But Mark Reads is a very special place, so...

Full context:

Person A: "And now I'm starting to wonder whether it's actually problematic for Dumbledore (and eventually Harry) to insist on referring to Voldemort as Tom against his wishes."

Person B: "It's manipulation / psychological warfare, certainly. Especially in the final confrontation between Harry and Tom/Voldemort, Harry uses it as such. Deliberately."

Person A: "Absolutely. But I'm more wondering whether that particular form of psychological warfare crosses a line. There have been all too many real-world examples of the refusal to acknowledge an individual's chosen name/identity being used in the real world to tragic effect. There are too many Leelah Alcorns out there.

We're shown all over the place that Voldemort fights dirty, evil, crosses every moral line like it doesn't exist (and refuses to acknowledge that most of them do) - and that the difference between him and Team Dumbledore is that the latter fight fair, fight honorably. Using the favourite trick of the transphobic bigot in the process seems more than a little problematic in retrospect."
