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.
