Honest answer

[chardmonster]

There's an idea that started in feminist circles that has since spread: "the personal is political." You can find a good explanation here: http://www.feminist.com/askamy/feminism/fem153.html

The problem here is that the "SJWs" tend not to have much in the way of, well, lives. By that I mean they appear to be, in general, young (hovering around college age or younger) and deeply sunk into internet fandom communities. This is their world. So they care a great deal about, say, whatever show they're obsessively following and will act as if that has the same weight as day to day life because that IS their day to day life.

For example, someone drawing a character as the wrong color is literally the worst racism they have ever personally experienced, so they'll treat it as such.

So the people arguing for "social justice" on the Internet are less like the people who actually go to protests, and more like the people on Youtube posting random crap about Israel in the comments for music videos. I can believe that.

[insanenoodlyguy]

That's a bit wide, but anybody who actually prodly declares themselves one, that's a good bet.

As as chard has repeatedly pointed out, the ones who proclaimthemselves the anti-version are pretty much the same shit tier.

Re: Honest answer

[chardmonster]

For the record, there is a hell of a lot of awful random crap about Israel.

Re: Honest answer

[(Anonymous)]

There's also a hell of a lot of awful random crap about the United States, but for some reason criticisms of it rarely include calls for its total dissolution.

Re: Honest answer

[chardmonster]

The US has the dubious advantage of having subjected its indigenous population a century ago.

Those fuckers are actively doing settler shit to its indigenous population right now, on television, with modern technology.

Re: Honest answer

I hadn't thought of it like that. Makes perfect sense! Also, that sort of isolationism in newer generations is kinda depressing.

Re: Honest answer

[insanenoodlyguy]

I don't think that's new though. It's just that those people used to throw themselves into, say, books or music albums, and now they have an internet where they still get some social interaction, albiet not the healthiest kind to have if that's all you have.

Re: Honest answer

[scrubber]

:0!

Well this is a solid explanation.

Re: Honest answer

[(Anonymous)]

Man, most of this entire conversation is legit.

Re: Honest answer

[(Anonymous)]

boy, won't they be disappointed when they finally get out into the real world and discover that scrounging around for rent and having to decide between buying gas for their car or eating is suddenly more important than the shade of Korra's skin.

or that their boss doesn't give two fucks about whitewashing in a film. they just want their project completed on time and shut the fuck up about who's fucking who or what show is 'problematic'.

Re: Honest answer

[(Anonymous)]

well a lot of them are still on my friends-list and living with their (from what I can tell horrified and or resigned parents) so they don't pay rent. They are still complaining about sims and how they can't be expected to attend real world protests.

Maybe because they stayed up all night on tmblr and protests are in the morning?

Re: Honest answer

tis a sad, sad thing

Re: Honest answer

[chardmonster]

A lot of hard working people are still living with their parents because have you noticed the job market lately
