@Demon:
Never had any vocal progressives do this to me, but I've had Anti-Progressives do this to me all the time.
Which tends to happen if you stay within your own circle jerk group lol.
You might want to branch out since I can find literally dozens of that with just doing 5 min of research.
Don't agree with the anti-progressives? You're just a marxist libtard cuck, and they deem you not worth talking to anymore and try to end the conversation with that.
And that happens to the other side too…..What's your point?
How about you stand in the middle and observe both sides? Because, and get this mind-blowing revelation, both sides are equally toxic and rely on the EXACT SAME METHODS.
Um… what? I legitimately don't know what you mean by this... I get called an SJW just for defending my own existence. I'm not special at all, I and people like me just want to be treated with respect.
Ah so it's not that EVERYONE should be treated with respect and given basic human rights. Its simply YOU and PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
And why are you defending your existence? For what reason exactly? Like anyone who is self-conscious and has taken the time to understand themselves doesn't need to justify themselves to anyone. I'm generally interested in that aspect. What is it that you want to accompolish? What is it that you seek?
I can understand about standing up for your rights WHEN someone attacks for being religious, LGBTQ, minorities etc….. but online "SJW's" go out of their way to be offended by ANYTHING without even understanding the original point.
A… Are you kidding? That's all the stuff I routinely get called an SJW for being very vocal about.
Where? Amongst who? Real life? Online?
You… you do know what "SJW" isn't a monolithic thing right? Because you're acting like "SJWs" are a monolithic group that believe in the same things.
Anybody who is vocal about being progressive gets labeled an "SJW" online these days. Any piece of pop culture that does something progressive like a TV show features an LGBTQ Character, or a comic book introduces a disabled character, or a video game features a non-white protagonist, these things immediatley get labled "SJW" and are attacked mercilessly by people who don't want any of those types of people included in "Their media.
When I say "SJW's", I'm referring to the ones online. I know that there are lots of people in real life that actually want to bring awareness of the issues and change the systems surrounding them.
Also the stuff you are talking about is EXACTLY the problem. Throwing a gay character, or a female character, or a handicap character IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE ANYTHING. Mad Max Fury Road is exactly what you want in media yet it accomplished NOTHING in terms of the actual female characters and what it was saying. Instead it was the same generic "She Female. She can kick ass" which apparently pleased lots of people despite being an absolute flat character.
Do you understand what I'm getting at here? Lots of modern works are about throwing the surface level bullshit in order to be more "progressive" but have no real depth to them once you put more than 2 seconds of thought into it.
Writing them like an actual complex characters and then implementing those issues to communicate to the audience would be ideal.
Modern media needs relevant works on the topics. Not fluff pieces.
There may have been a time when "SJW" referred exclusively to extremists who go too far, but we are far past that now.
Nope.
We are still living in the times where you cannot be allowed to express yourself if you got anything to say that isn't trending. Say you have a problem with a implementation of a gay character in a game? Instantly get mocked and called a "homophobic" person.
If both sides were capable of listening to one another then you would have a point. Otherwise regardless of how "loud" the progressive people become, the same type of mentality will be applied.
