I haven't met any pro-SJ person who is willing to sit down and calmly discuss their views. If they cared enough to inform instead of accuse, SJ might not always be followed by a W in the internet's opinion.

Lol in my experience, people always use the "sjw" insult whenever anybody says something slightly political that they don't like. My friend once got called one for talking about her personal history with abuse and rape, and I once got called one because I was uncomfortable being around homophobic people. Lmao I also once got called one because I said rapists were worst then stupid internet trolls. You can get called an "omg evil sjw!!" for pretty much anything these days.

DA. Before gamergate, SJW was used by activists against slacktivists. It basically meant the same thing White Feminist means now. A fake activist who continually talks over and silences people who actually have the oppression they're claiming to champion.

I've never seen it used like that. SJW is always used to describe an internet slacktivist who harasses others to conforming to their opinion.

I don't know your friend or their views, but if they were shaming others and acting like their opinion was the only valid one, then maybe they deserve to be called a sjw.

You don't go to reddit, I take it.

Really? Because I know several people who are for social justice (without being SJWs) who would be willing to sit down and inform instead of accusing. Granted I'm also a 40-year-old who does volunteer work so my circles might not be the same as a standard fandom person? IDK.

(And this is not to say that SJWs don't exist, or that the extremists who only accuse all of the time and can make fandoms/Tumblr a toxic place don't exist. They absolutely do. But there are also rational/moderate people who care about social issues as well. I really just want to sit some of these extreme SJWs down and explain to them that the world isn't black or white, but that would be an exercise in futility.)

I think that's one of the big things that frustrates me about a lot of SJ debate, the mindset that explaining things = bad. There's an understandable motivation behind it - people don't want to have to explain the same damn topics over and over again, especially in an age where the questioner can EASILY find the information they're asking about with a simple internet search. But it's gotten to the point where if you've decided, of your own accord, to have a conversation with someone explaining basic concepts, you're suddenly "hand-holding" and catering to privileged people.

I'm just kind of sick of feeling like some kind of bad person because I like talking and explaining stuff like this to people.
