I'm just interested in getting the fakers out The fakers and the ones who abuse the cause are the ones who need to be called out. They are who, at least I call "SJWs"

I guess what I'm saying is, yeah real activism is good but we need to let people know that they can't discredit these important causes by being asses.

We need to call out the people who tell others "You can't say you're depressed you're white" or "lol men's tears" in response to a girl posting about how she hates "men's tears" because she knows guys who have been abused raped and have eating disorders.

"The fakers" is an interesting way of putting it, since if I had a nickel for every time an anti-SJW railed about being oppressed by terrible, bullying SJWs the actual thread went like "racist/misogynist slur" --> "that's racist/misogynist!" --> "no it isn't stupid SJWs!" --> "check your privilege!" --> "you told me to check my privilege?! you're racist/sexist against white people/men!" I'd be considerably better off.

Then it devolves into shit-flinging on both sides. If rape/death threats are made against the SJW, it becomes a sterling example of how minorities are oppressed to repost time after time; if rape/death threats are made against the anti-SJW, it becomes an example of how SJWs don't "really" mean it and just want to bully people and said link gets posted time after time.

Even better! Anti-SJWs who jump into the conversation and use terms like "lol men's tears" or "you sound white" in an attempt to mock or discredit the SJWs/SJWs making hyperbolically racist or sexist statements to do the same. I've seen both too many times and it's fucking pathetic.

I think what they were trying to get at is people who are plugged into social issues being against SJW behavior.

Privileged bigots go far beyond just being anti-SJW, since they are basically focusing on a vocal and visible mouthpiece for very important issues that they are dismissing and lashing out against as a whole.

After all, if they're the ones flinging that particular brand of shit, you know that there's no one and nothing that they're going to find "reasonable" at this point in their lives.

It's a big part of why civil criticism and debate about this issue cannot really exist, since on top of being sensitive, justified and important disagreement is also automatically labeled as derailment/tone argument/internalized bigotry/etc. and lumped in with the people who are crying about being oppressed by "reverse racism" and "heterosexual erasure" -- because that definitely is the other half of the landslide.

I agree though, it's exhausting and depressing all the way around. More so because it also doubles the burden of what needs to be accomplished.
