Okay dude I'm not in SPN anymore but seriously: take a deep breath. You are making assumptions about the person you're talking to as well, which is not a good look. Yes, it's important to talk about social justice issues -- by debating the source material, not leaping to "you sound like a white dude". (That just opens you up to "hurr hurr, I'm actually an [insert race/gender here]", and then the person happily ignores everything you had to say.)

Also, for the record, there IS such a thing as SJ gone too far. That includes shit like SJW telling me how to react to my own fucking sexual assault. Or claiming that straight male 'bronies' must be disturbed and/or users for 'co-opting female space' (yet adult female bronies are somehow okay). I don't know if that sort of thing is what the poster was referring to, but I can definitely see where it would lead someone to wash their hands of the whole movement.

I made a few assumptions below, but in the above comment I don't -- I say what they sound like to me, because that's what they sound like. If it's wrong, whatever-- but that they stopped replying to me is pretty telling, I think.

What happened re: your sexual assault is disgusting, I'm sorry that happened. (Male "bronies" are really fucking problematic though. They claim, frequently, that MLP:FiM is created and aimed at them as its target audience, that they are the largest part of fandom, etc. and perpetuate disgusting, -ist ideas like pony porn, the "save Derpy" movement, seriously racist, homophobic and sexist remarks all over their sites and forums, transphobic and sexist slurs hurled at a vocal objector to "Derpy"/Bubblecup's original portrayal in the show, and more -- including threatening to r*pe and/or murder female fans who objected to them or their "causes". Adult female fans of the show are fine because by and large, for one thing, they are not "bronies". "Bronies" refers largely to a specific group of straight, white adult men who are fans of the show, usually obsessively. While there are women who consider themselves "bronies," they frequently do not participate in this group or were wrongly informed (possibly by actual "bronies") that anyone who is a fan of MLP is a "brony". Orrr there's some serious internalized misogyny going on. It happens.)

The people who do awful things in the name of social justice aren't really who they're talking about, though. They seem to be referring to... well, anyone who dares to question anything they're into. :\ It's deeply problematic and I'm freaking tired of people going "OMG SJWS ARE THE WORST" and shit. Ugh.
