Double standards? What are those?

It's not just that, it's that once POC's have appropriated your culture, continuing to use it yourself is racist.

In regards to cultural appropriation.
Would these two Japanese versions of western cartoon's count as cultural appropriation? (Spongebob speaking Japanese and MLP:FiM in a Japanese opening that a weeb might sperg about) If so, then SJW's will show double standard when they say those are okay but not this:
And that isn't because the above is 4Kids, it's because the above was appropriated by American's for some English dub.

I feel like posting this legendary SJW intellectual ass kicking:

Edit: BTW, if you're wondering about context, google "Jason Schreier Dragon's Crown".

And then do us all a favor and don't give Kotaku any more traffic, even if it is funny to watch their delusions.

Umm... If I get on a ship today, and it sinks, women and children get off first. That's maritime regulation.

Way to know the facts before opening your trap.

The women and children first rule or "Birkenhead Drill" was first used when the HMS Birkenhead hit some rocks near the coast of Africa. The captain ordered the women and children off the boat so that in case the ship goes down they would still live. The men stayed behind in order to save the ship. The ship did sink and only a quarter of the men survived. As the ship sank the sailers were order to stand straight in formation and many were devoured by sharks.
Of course a SJW will see this heroic sacrifice as prove that men are evil but the Birkenhead Drill is more about the discipline of the British navy than sexism.

She's right. "Women and children" have traditionally been mentioned in the same breath, and women have been viewed as being somewhere between children and adults in terms of maturity and ability to take care of themselves.

A large portion of the core to the women's side of the SJW movement is that they want the boons that come with modern independence (a high paying job, freedom, respect, etc.) but also want to be coddled, protected, given top consideration in romantic interaction, and generally treated like the women of a hundred years ago when it allows them to feel special or dodge responsibility for their actions. The men also hop on board with this, trying to protect the women as if they were too stupid, incompetent, and delicate to handle the harshness of working towards their goals, taking responsibility for their mistakes, and thinking of others before coming to conclusions. While they call themselves liberal and progressive, much of what they push is really a massively conservative agenda fighting against the natural changes that are going on as a result of women being expected to take care of themselves.

If the SJW women all suddenly took the viewpoint of "expect as much from me as you would a man, and I will take full responsibility for myself" and both understood and meant it, women would be off the SJW agenda.

Anyone else here a fan of old musicals? I was listening to the original soundtrack for Fiorello! and stumbled on something that could be used as an SJW theme song.

My law shall state: "To whom it may concern
When a lady loves a gentleman he must love her in return!"

In re: my law, ad hoc, to wit, to woo
"When a lady feels affectionate then the man must follow through."

Here's another law we women'll do our best to legislate:
It shall be completely criminal for a man to break a date
Each offender shall be rapidly thrown in jail where he belongs
Thus we'll right our Bill of Wrongs!

This video is quite popular across Tumblr and SJW's recently.

Also, you're a hateful bigot if you think that women have vaginas.

I tried watching the video, but had to stop. I don't want to watch a whole video for her to finally tell me "what someone just said/ask." Can someone give me the 411. Thanks.

She's completely insufferable, but her broad point is absolutely correct: people who whine about free speech usually ignore that part of free speech is other people having the freedom to criticize what you say too. Free speech is not "freedom to say anything I want, in a protected vacuum."

Edit: It's actually way more reasonable than I thought it would be, given that the woman delivering it seems to be a walking cartoon in every other aspect of her life, as evidenced in the same video. But she didn't make the dumb SJW argument that "you can't have those opinions because they make people feel bad", her point is just "if your opinions make people feel bad and they think that makes you a bad person, they're entitled to that opinion in the same way you're entitled to yours".

She just found a way to express the thought in the most smug awful way possible. But if more SJWs were like her I wouldn't have a problem with them. They're entitled to be smug and self-righteous on the internet, that's fine with me.

I loved reading this. You're right on the money with this comment!
 
She is definitely correct about the freedom of speech going both ways but she isn't going to win a lot of people over to her cause by being so condescending. I honestly hear her tone more than her message. But she does agree that we can call SJW out on their bullshit so its okay I guess.

I watched the video, but I kept being distracted by her B-for-Boleyn necklace. If Anne Boleyn talked like that, I'm surprised Henry didn't behead her a lot sooner.

She also said "G.I.F.s". Like she spelled it. "Gee Eye Effs." What the fuck.

But anyway, who actually makes a claim that freedom of speech is "freedom to say anything I want, in a protected vacuum"? It's a strawman argument.

This is the kind of situation that I THINK she's talking about:

1. Random tumblrtard with 7 friends posts something about black people's hair.
2. Someone reblogs and 100 people are saying she's worse than Hitler.
3. Person freaks out over the response, posts BUT ITS MY OPINION OK, essentially doubling down.
4. 100 more people say she's worse than Hitler.
5. Tumblrtard deletes everything.

It takes a weird understanding of the world to look at this example and think the problem is a misunderstanding of freedom of speech. It's rather a misunderstanding of the internet, and how what kind of feels like a conversation with a couple of friends is really a conversation with a couple of friends + Google, which means a conversation with the entire literate world.

Because who would this video be made for? It's not for someone who doesn't understand freedom of speech. It's for the 100 people who said she was worse than Hitler. Nobody is going to be enlightened by this video and suddenly run to the library to study prior restraint laws. People who act like self-righteous weenies every day, searching out things to be offended by and dispensing hashtag justice will probably feel better about what they've done, though.
