Man, I've whined about my favorite characters and pairings getting ignored before, but fans using the terms "oppressed" and "triggered" for it makes me want to punch someone.

Another term they like to abuse is "gaslighting." Gaslighting is an extremely complicated form of psychological abuse where there abuser makes the victim doubt their own sanity to the point where they can't tell fiction from reality anymore. SJWs seem to use it to mean "someone disagreed with me on the Internet."

Not too long ago I read a post that basically compared SJW "triggering" to actual triggering. The scenario the writer gave was that you have two people watching a war movie. One is a Vietnam veteran, the other one is your typical SJW. There comes a battle scene, and both of the people watching the movie are triggered. The Vietnam veteran was triggered by the violent depiction of the battle into thinking he was back in the war. The SJW's complaint? A character in the movie used the word "bitch."

It's a simplistic reduction, and ignores that you don't have to be a war veteran to have PTSD, but I get the feeling that it's accurate a great deal more often than the people perpetrating the fallacy would like to admit.

Oh man... I have not seen gaslighting used yet. I know what it means and what movie it comes from, so their explanation is going to look totally bizarre when I do see it. I'm sure it won't be long now.

Every time I discover a new popular SJW buzz word or term- X-privilege, mansplain, Die Cis Scum (which I've only heard of and don't care to look into for my own blood pressure)- it gets more difficult to remember that we can't save these people and just have to wait until they burn themselves out.
