Since a lot of people are bringing up SJW's I'll be a little more critical of the other side. Sometimes nobody can ever bring up anything, if anyone finds something sexist, racist, or homophobic, they are a dirty SJW who wants to ruin fandom for everyone. There was a comment on in a thread that sums it up pretty well: "When did social Justice Warrior morph from meaning someone who wields Social Justice and inequality and a weapon to hurt other, to someone who calls out anything ever."

Yeah, I fear it's becoming as misused as the word "troll," where all it really means anymore is "somebody whose opinion or feelings I don't want to have to see or deal with."

It's the old 'boy who cried wolf' conundrum. You hear about somehing often enough and it keeps turning out to be bullshit, eventually you stop believing (or caring about) it even when it's true. This is what makes SJW's really dangerous and not just annoying; their rantings desensitize people to genuine problems.

Maybe it's just were I am hanging out online, but I am starting to see the same thing happening to anti-sjw's. Also there were plenty of people desensitized to genuine problems before the major involvement of SJW's.

True enough, on both counts, but they definitely haven't helped matters.

If people weren't already apathetic about those problems they wouldn't *be* problems. So, really, SJWs aren't making things worse - they're just not helping.

I find that pretty bizarre, tbh. Maybe I'm just perpetually skeptical, but I'm perfectly capable of teasing out the legitimate critique from the over-the-top nonsense. I do it all the time, and I'm not sure it's a special skill to have, just a willingness to listen and actually think about the stuff I encounter. Somehow I don't think the burden of blame lies entirely with SJW if their legit beef is getting tuned out. JS.

I reserve it for the kind of thinking that says it's ok to give a queer and genderqueer editor a bad review because of purely arbitrary boundaries between sexualities and language policing invented issues of "appropriation."
