Encounters With SJWs/Tumblristas Offline or In Unusual Communities

These women get resentful of men who spread out, even though it is pretty unlikely a man was the person who told them to keep their legs together, and even though most men have no clue women are uncomfortable sitting this way.
no one gives a fuck what your aunt told you the year before you got your period or whatever

Something these women almost never acknowledging, most of "misogyny" is directed to women by other women, but instead of saying women can be shitty they just say the men force them to attack their "sisters" or whatever...

Yup, no one really would mind if a woman chooses to sit comfortably. But, even given the choice of claiming the comfortable posture for themselves, they choose to shame and deny men for the comfort. And this is very telling of the feminist mindset.

That's pretty much precisely my problem with that gripe. It's not about expressing personal liberty, it's about shaming others into conforming to your own self-imposed restrictions.

You'll see posts on Tumblr about women proudly talking about how they spread their legs next to a guy on a crowded subway, or refused to move aside on the sidewalk when somebody was walking in the opposite direction. What a sad state of affairs that these are lauded by some as little acts of revolution.

At least not wearing a bra doesn't involve invading others' personal space.

Which is funny because they're rebelling in a way nobody but dumb dangerhairs would even notice because nobody else obsesses over the awful, horrible oppression that men have BODIES and they, holy fuck, actually occupy space!

I once ran into someone who I'd assume is probably one of those otherkin tumblrites somewhere you don't normally see them (I can't remember where the fuck it was honestly, it was years ago by now) that kept claiming that I was one of those grey aliens from Homestuck. There's not really much more to it than that.

As for other IRL encounters it wasn't me that had this one, but a family member once told me this funny story one December when someone stopped them at their job to scream at them for putting both the Hannukah and christmas stuff in the same holiday section of the store mentioning appropriation or some wild shit like that. This person has no previous knowledge of these types of people, and isn't into social media at all, so I'm pretty sure they were telling the truth.

The "internalized misogyny" argument, where apparently women are too stupid to think for themselves and are easily brainwashed by men. That's some great feminism!

Just how inadequate do you have to be to consider such ''feats'' worthy of praise and/or fighting for feminism?

The other day, at summer college, I went up to a few girls to try to make some friends. ESPN was on TV so I struck up a conversation and asked one of them if she liked sports.

"I only watch women's sports," she says.

I was afraid to ask further questions.

To be fair, I do too.

But not because I like watching sport, mind you.

More adventures at summer college:
There was a kid from my town in my class. Right in the neighborhood, even! But as with most people in my area, any time he was outside of a far-left hivemind, it was like a whole new world. One day he came up to me and shared his stellar observations that this place seemed much more conservative than home. We're at a major college campus in the north. That should say enough.

But then, in another bout of carefully worded discovery reports, he tells me how he noticed "most rich people are conservatives."

I know the street he lives on. Average housing cost? I'd say about two million dollary-doos. And Bernie signs still stand on the lawns of those mansions, wasting away in the summer storms, soon to be faded as the Obama 2012 stickers still stuck to the cars in the driveways.

But sure, kid. Most rich people you've seen are conservatives. Whatever you say.

Again, the Fallout fandom is infected and must be amputated. (Then again what fandom isn't a festering growth of autism?)
I keep running into more and more SJWs in it. :(

While looking for mods that re-texture the landscape and the details of characters' clothing (You know Preston has some wicked embroidery on that vest) I ran across these gems:
There's quite a few that state Preston Garvey apparently wasn't African-American enough, but this one was probably the ugliest I could remember seeing. (That person's mods collection is a riot as is- don't get me started on their Murphy.)

There's also a mod in which certain male characters needed to be an attractive female- because trans or something idfk- but I can't find the hilariously bad non-prototype Synth Lady Nick one now. You'll just have to enjoy the Tranny Preston.

The Fallout fandom has always been cancerous, but the tumblr side especially. So I like to spam this official Fallout 2 artwork whenever I can.

On the plus side, I think this behaviour should be encouraged where possible. Seeing a nice pair of JCB starter buttons on the seat opposite you brightens up a dull, grey, cramped commute.

Whoa. Did I say that out loud? I best check my privilege.

It's unused art for the 'Child Killer' reputation in Fallout 2, which essentially makes you a social pariah.

I forgot about that. "You have killed children, the youth of the wasteland. This is apparently a really bad thing. You evil, evil, person." The description sells it the best but also drums home the idea that your character is you and that a character who would happily murder a child is likely to see it like that. The banality of evil etc.

Then again, the people behind Fallout 1 and 2 (the TRUE AND HONEST Fallout, not the Bethesda lightweight nonsense) went on to do Torment, VTMB, and much later, Pillars of Eternity. Now there's some games that would really trigger Tumblrinas, and in the case of Pillars, did (but only because of a stupid poem on a tombstone, not because of actual real triggering or nightmarish content such as systemic racism in the setting, or the fact that the plot is driven by a pandemic of children being born in a vegetative state).

Anyhow. Back on topic. Ahem.

This was in 2010. I was crossing London mildly intoxicated with some other headbangers. We'd all hopped on at the same time after a Bolt Thrower (excellent death metal band whose material is mostly about either the First World War or Warhammer 40,000) show. (The 40K content was quite thick on the ground - purity seals on jackets, Imperium of Man eagle tatts, even a few people sperging audibly beforehand about their army lists.) We all changed at Marylebone as well to get on various places home. I was feeling like I needed something to absorb the beer I'd swallowed both in the club and in the queue outside, so I stopped off at Burger King and got a nice big greaseburger with chips and chilli sauce.

I thus found out the people I was with were vegan animal wrongs activists (you know, the MEAT IS MURDER lot) and apparently me having a greaseburger in their presence triggered them. One of them rolled up his sleeve and showed me his Sea Shepherd tatt. He was tall and thin and looked like a good feed would kill him. I told him that Sea Shepherd were a bunch of poseurs and hypocrites and couldn't sail a boat for love nor money, as well as being fundamentally wrong in their ideology and actions. Salt was produced. I was asked how someone as right wing as me could possibly like a band who first emerged in the hardcore punk scene (very early on BT used to hang out with Extreme Noise Terror and Napalm Death). How could I get to sleep at night?

I answered, "usually in a state of post-coital euphoria next to my stunningly beautiful red-haired wife, who, for the record, bangs like a shit house door in a gale." All of which was a lie but it made a good riposte.

Sea Shepherd Man's bint (a rather chunksome lass with pink hair) told me I was a bloodmouth, a misogynist shitlord as well, and should check my privilege.

I winked at her in a deliberately lascivious matter and said something like, "Don't be jealous, love, you're not my type." Speechless were they with rage.

There weren't any other people there on the platform, but if there had been, they all would have applauded, no doubt.

Then my train arrived, upon where I hopped on it.

So, yeah. I met Tumblrinas coming home from a death metal show. I wasn't expecting that. To be fair I should have spotted the danger signals when one of them nodded sagely as another one said they objected to black metal on ideological grounds.

I think of all the different styles of metal, it's probably melodic death metal and/or metalcore which is most susceptible to Tumblrina infestation. The former because of Opeth and In Flames and the hipster periphery fandom, and the latter because they seem to attract "FIGHT THE POWER!!!!1 ANARCHY ROOLZ!!11one" edgelords. Thrash is too drunken and raucous and they reckon the crowd are too fatphobic to catch them when they stage dive. Power metal too nerdy and gamery and full of toxic masculinity. Black metal, well, NSBM being a thing puts them right off.
