Worldview...that was a lot of the problem between us, and I feel it's what eventually broke us apart. We liked hanging out together, and we had our jokes and our teasing, and we told each other our problems and secrets, but in the end, we just couldn't understand each other when we really needed to. The lens through which she saw me and my actions might as well have been a kaleidoscope to me, and I'm sure it was the same in the opposite direction.

Yeah she has turned very...SJW-y. And some of it is just ridiculous shit.

For instance I reblog something from her about Lil Cricket, a gas station where we came from. I sang the jingle from the radio commercial everrryyyoonnneeee knows. Someone told her it was "OMG THAT IS SO RACIST!!!" Because the word cricket was once a derogatory term for black people. But I looked it up and while it was one, it was a term used in the midwest in like the 1800s. Also, there is literally no proof that that is the reasoning behind the name. So she told me I had to delete the post because it came from her blog. And she bitched at me until I did.

She has also gotten into some other stuff that I don't feel entirely comfortable with.

Also, I once had a confusing conversation with someone from England who was horrified at Australia's favourite cheese, they wouldn't even tell me what the problem was

Honestly, I know how coon has been used as a derogatory term. But there are also (ra)coon hounds and (ra)coon hunting. So I don't ever think of it that way.

That is really fucking stupid. You might be better off without her.

[kaijinscendre]

Maybe, but we have been friends since kindergarten. :(

That sucks. Hopefully she'll realize how ridiculous she's being in the future.

You could try to back off and get some space for a while. She may grow out of her SJW phase, like so many others do. Also, sometimes with a very long history of friendship, people start to take each other for granted. If she's going to stop talking to you over stuff like that, then forget it - time out for her.

There has to be give and take in any relationship, and if you've apologized, you've done your part. I don't know all the particulars, of course, but in my personal experience, there were times I just had to walk away. I don't want a friendship where I'm the only one who ever gives - my friendship is worth something too, and if they can't see that, then obviously they don't value it. And I won't waste any more time on that.

Sorry, my thoughts got long and rambly. Anyway, with luck, she'll grow out of the phase.

Well, that's just not... cricket.

Badum tish, I'm here all week folks!

I feel you on the worldview differences. There were just some things we couldn't see eye-to-eye on when it came to one of my past friendships, not to mention the borderline emotional abuse I withstood.
