You do realize you're arguing that people should shut up about bigots so people will stop being bigots, right?

[(Anonymous)]

No? I'm arguing that there are better ways to talk to bigots to try to get them to listen, outside of leaving a billion angry comments calling them assholes and worse and telling them to go educate themselves, and inviting all your friends to do the same.

That's what SJW do, and they think that helps.

[chardmonster]

But a lot of them won't listen.

I honestly used to agree with you, but yeah, nobody's mind is changed on tumblr.

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, there are cases where nobody will listen. Screaming at them... guess what, still doesn't help. So no matter what, nothing good is accomplished. In those situations? Yes, I wish people would give up and move on because it's a lost cause.

In others, a lot of the time, dialogue is actually prevented because people figuratively go in swinging. OMG HDU HAVE SAID WHAT YOU SAID? RACIST and immediately puts the person in question on the defensive when half the time they're not even aware what they said was offensive. Then they pile on saying they should have known and HDU not be as American-cultured and college-sociology-educated as the rest of us, go teach yourself... and it almost never goes well.

I say this as a college-educated American who is not white het w/e else. It doesn't help. They're alienating people who might have listened and learned something, if given the opportunity (but it's not their responsibility to educate anyone! of course).

I have strong feelings about this, can you tell.

[(Anonymous)]

Isn't this what the SJW's refer to as "the tone argument"? (i.e., "You should listen to the content of what I'm saying; the way I say it should not matter.")

I'm always hard-pressed not to laugh when someone drags that little gem out. It's a nice idea, but it rarely works that way in real life.

[diet_poison]

oh man I hate that. Me saying "you're being abrasive, please stop" isn't the same thing as saying your abrasiveness makes your point invalid. It just means you're being unpleasant and I don't want to listen to you, and chances are, neither does anyone else. -.-

It's just an excuse to be an asshole and try to get away with it.

[chardmonster]

Oh yeah, I hate that tone argument blacklash bullshit. Tone matters.

What I'm saying is that people who write out thoughtful explanations still get called SJWs by a lot of the anti-sjws.

I'm not defending the sassy gif brigade.
