This is how I have been of late. Unless I know you, if you post more than 3 posts a day about some kind of -ist issue (especially if it involves white, male, cis tears), you are an instant unfollow.

Of course that means I am slowly running out of blogs to follow. It seems like fandom and SJW are becoming the same.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-06 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Me too. I think it's because I feel like I am being preached at with those posts. Like how if a stranger walks up to you and says, "Excuse me, have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal lord and savior," most people automatically mentally check out. That's what happens to me.

Unless you sign up for it, no one likes being preached to.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-06 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup, there's a lot of quasi-religious zeal on display in SJW-land. There a rigid orthodoxy attitudes, language and behaviour - ignorance of same means you must be saved and deviation from same means you must publicly repent or be cast out as evil. There's much parroting of specific words and phrases (SJW bingo) and shoehorning of dogma into every conversation. Plus, a tendency to follow charismatic leaders and engage in dramatic acts of accusation and behaviour-policing towards others attract their notice and approval. Pretty much, it's all "we're right, we're here to save you and if you don't get on board with that, then you're a bad person". Exactly like the Jesus-freaks you meet at Uni - they have a lot in common.

A dangerous cult that bullies its victims into killing themselves.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-07 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
That is true. I've seen SJW bullying people to the point of saying they deserve to die if they don't subscribe to their beliefs. I wish I was making this up but they have zero compassion for people who they deem 'wrong'. Absolutely zero compassion and they will constantly harass someone.

I know this because I've been trying to comfort people who have been told they were scum and deserve to die.

It's funny how they claim to be fighting for social justice, yet they do it through hate and bully tactics.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-08 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
This is because they aren't fighting for social justice, they are fighting against it. Everything they accuse others of, are the very things they are guilty of themselves.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-08 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Said this for years. No one believes but it's 100% accurate.

The sad part is that, because of their zeal and overall unpleasant attitude(s), those types of people severely undermine many important issues to the point where most people will automatically tune them out because they automatically think "Ugh, not another SJW thing", and then make every effort to shut down any sort of dialogue (because it *does* go both ways, after all) with the other person who might be on the SJ/SJW side of things.

Well, that's the thing, isn't it? There are useful conversations to be had, but some people are just so keen on joining a gang and dumping on people and being right all the time that dialogue becomes impossible. The question to ask them is "do you like being right or do you like making a difference?" Because if it's the former, you know they're not actually interested in making things better at all.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-08 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Except, useful dialogue is exactly what they are trying to shut down. THEY ARE THE ENEMY. Why people cannot comprehend this I fail to understand.

You know, I never quite thought of it this way, but it really does fit.

Oh just three a day?

My unfollow policy is three posts that rub me the wrong in total.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-06 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
That's more like how I do it.

[personal profile] ex_mek82 2014-04-06 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Eee'yup. My follow list these days is mostly close friends (who I can give a pass when they post SJ-ish stuff), art inspiration, artist blogs (and ones with ONLY art), and pug dog photo blogs.

Needless to say, my blood pressure hasn't thanked me enough over the last year or so.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-07 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
It only takes one post for me to unfollow. I already know what I'm getting into, and most of the time it's the right choice.

I'm a very argumentative person by nature so I have to cut myself off before I get the chance to get worked up.

[personal profile] jaybie_jarrett 2014-04-06 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh "___ tears" is an instant unfollow for me. I just can't take people who brag about "drinking __ tears" seriously.

I try to keep my blog a positive place. I'll signal boost something to help someone or make a comment about something but most of the time I try to avoid spouting controversial opinions and arguments. I mostly just reblog food at stuff related to my writing.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-07 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
SAME.

That '____tears' thing is so gross.

It's an automatic loss of respect for anyone who says it.

[personal profile] jaybie_jarrett 2014-04-07 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
There's standing up for what you believe in and standing up for yourself and then there's being petty and spiteful.

Sad thing is when you call them on it they either dismiss you or give you a fucking sermon about how "the oppressed are speaking their minds on the one place they are able to feel free too. " or some other excuse.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-08 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately those they call "the oppressed" wish they would stop fighting nonexistent battles "for" us that really making our lives worse...and setting, in particular, disability rights backwards by about thirty-five years.

[personal profile] jaybie_jarrett 2014-04-08 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah seriously.

Quit telling me to be offended by "idiot" and "stupid". I may be autistic but I'm also pretty DAMN smart so I'm not upset at the mere mention of the word stupid.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-08 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
One mention of tears like that is an unfollow from me, and I'm not even a cis, white, male. It just annoys me. How childish can they be? Why would I want to listen to anything else they had to say?
