Encounters With SJWs/Tumblristas Offline or In Unusual Communities

[shitheady]

there's this chick who's in both of my classes in college who I'll call Sophia. and well, I knew she was an sjw instantly.
Sophia has that typical purpleish pink dyed hair but she shaved it the next day I saw her.
I was placed in a group assignment with her and while answering some questions she kept going on about how the patriarchy allows men to always speak over women and how they always have more privileged than them. Oh, and of course how white women ruin feminism. It was really weird because there was only one guy in our group who clearly felt uncomfortable about her saying all of that.

About a few weeks ago we had to give introduction speeches and hers was on a book she wrote so I looked it up on amazon and the summary was basically "the main protagonist is a black, gay trans man who travels through time looking for his lovers." It only had three reviews which were obviously family members judging from their last names.
I looked at her Twitter and she goes by he/they pronouns which I'm not shocked about, but she never mentioned it to the professors which I expected her to do.
Then this past Monday Sophia gave a speech on transgender women and 'why black trans women dont get recognized enough' and it was really awkward.
I find it annoying how she has to constantly be writing her script for her new book during class. it has something to do with a genderfluid guy from what she was bragging to everyone about.
what I find really funny is how if anyone mentions trump she has to quickly turn to give them a disgusted look.
oh and Sophia really likes talking about the Lgbt community in every conversation for some reason especially her mom who's, of course, a lesbian.

Hey, at least she finished a book.

There are people far less obnoxious that haven't even accomplished that much.

It's called a fetish.

I once took a summer course in sequential art (comics) between my junior and senior years of high school. I’m glad I took it, given that it gave somewhat of an impression of what working in the art world is like, having to meet deadlines and whatnot. The negative being that this was my first real encounter with full on SJWs. I had some in my art class back home that I at least somewhat got along with, but with these ones, it truly felt like any time I’d make a joke or voice an opinion, I’d be hanged up on. This was before I knew how to handle these kinds of people, mind you, an it did make me feel like shit half the time while I was there. Doesn’t help that one of the instructors usually sided with them. Seriously, how was I supposed to expect a sequential art class to be filled with feminist chicks and whatnot?

They've gotten into making comics lately.

Mind you, this was back in like, 2015 or something. Back then I wasn't expecting that sort of stuff, and hell, didn't even know it existed.

Recently I was in a rental place (they still exist around here) and heard some girls talking about which one they wanted to watch that night. I can't remember which film they were discussing, but one of the girls said,

"Oh, that's such a good movie, except a dog dies in it. I couldn't handle that-- it would have been such a good movie if there wasn't animal death in it, but they killed the dog, and it just ruined the whole movie for me. Why'd they have to kill a dog?"

I'm 100% sure she has a tumblr and she makes posts with the #tw: animal death tag.

 

[Next Task]

In before you remember that they were discussing something like Old Yeller or Marley and Me, in which the whole point is the dog dies...

Though to be fair, a dog dying is a pretty easy way to make me cry. Not in a Jurassic Park 2 way, but in a proper man's best friend way.

 

[fishercat]

I always get mad when I'm watching a horror movie and the dog dies just to make the audience upset. That's just manipulative.

On the other hand the disaster movies where the dog lives, even when it’s a highly unlikely way (I’m looking at You Independence Day), are hilarious.

 

[lord of bad jokes]

so i have followed this thread for some time now, and i love it.

I have had some encounters myself i would like to share.
this is quite a long one.

the first one was when i was studying abroad in the states (i'm from Denmark, so i'm sorry if my grammar is rough) i landed in a small town in the middle of nowhere, when i was introduced to a "greetings group" consisting of some weird people( i had never met a SJW before) the group consisted of all girls and as a horny 17 year old boy, life could not be any better. Until one of the Fuckers opened their mouth and first fucking question one of these girls asked me was "do you believe in women's rights" and like that well-raised boy i was, i answer nicely yes. that open the biggest floodgate of bullshit ever. i was being invited to join the anime club ( i fucking hate anime) and ask if i wanted to help protest against the school for not creating a third bathroom for trans-people. i have never been so confused about life before, i thought i would come over to the states to slay some mad puss. but ended up almost becoming some little bitchboi. fortunately i began playing football, and they left me alone.

the other one is pretty recent, i'm studying to become a carpenter here in my home country. and the way my school works is, the different departments are split up to different section of the building( like all the educations involving craftsmanship is in one part, all more book related educations are in other parts) but we all share the same eating area. So some of my Friends and i were sitting, relaxing and joking. when my good friend (lets call him R) were telling some mad jokes about Sweden (fuck Sweden. Sweden is a walking joke in the Scandinavian countries for been a Communist country run by femnazis) when some girl with blue hair and a t-shirt with the gay flag on, stood up and walk over to the our table. where she began to yell at my good friend R for being sexist and demeaning to women. and that if he didn't have anything nice to say, then he isn't allow to say anything at all. the only problem is at i'm a big advocate for freedom for expression, and if there is anything that i get "triggered" over it's when morons with no sense of humor or context for that matter try to shut down/censor our right to say the fuck we want to. it ended with i got threats on my life because i was a sociopathic rapist with no right to live.

this is i vote to reinstate the death penalty here in Denmark.

Without giving too many details to identify either of us, a few years ago, a former friend who was questioning his gender identity asked me out, was rejected, and then he persisted again and again, asking me if I would be attracted to him if he transitioned to female. He proceeded to send me pictures of him in a dress and a wig, and when he was rejected again he went on a Tumblr rant about the cotton ceiling bs and how cis lesbians are transmisogynistic (and when I confronted him about it he was like "oh noooo I wasn't talking about you" ). It was an odd and kinda jarring experience. I still feel icky about it.

Sounds like a grade-A creep.

When I visit a new forum or website or community, I generally pick a username that doesn't indicate whether I'm male or female, and don't bring it up unless it's necessary or useful. This is important to this story:

I was on a text-only chat with some folks, and one--a young woman--was discussing an injury she had sustained earlier that day along with some heat exhaustion. She was talking about all the scotch (or some hard liquor, I don't remember) she was going to drink, and I mentioned that it's important to hydrate with actual water after a heat-related episode.

I was immediately dogpiled by every woman in the chat for "mansplaining" to a woman what she should do with her body. Because obviously, only a man would say that (which was vigorously supported by every lurking predator--I mean "male feminist" in the chat).

Yeah, I moved on.

 

[Raptorkin]

Sounds like a grade-A creep.

He definitely was, and there's more that I could say but I might end up outing him as it relates to a niche fandom he was active in at the time.
I kinda exaggerated the "Tumblr rant" part; it was more like one of those passive-aggressive posts people sometimes make with one vague word in the text post and a story in the tags. Like "#not good enough as a man #not a good enough woman #cis lesbians are the reason the cotton ceiling exists etc etc

Keep in mind all of this happened during my Tumblr phase of 2012-2014 and I have my own mildly cringy history as well, but even I knew the cotton ceiling was bullshit and manipulative. But last I saw him irl, he seems to be doing much better. He's dropped the whole trans thing and has picked up healthier, more productive hobbies.

 

[Stock Image Photographer]

Wait, so did he ever go on hormones or was it just limited to crossdressing? Because de-transitioning after going on hormones is a great way to earn yourself the ire of the troon community forever.

Nah, he never started hormones. For him he was mainly questioning his gender identity because he liked "girly" things like painting his fingernails and would ONLY play female characters in video games... which I thought was kinda weird that he would ascribe that to his gender identity (he'd say that while playing alongside my male character in a game) but whatever. The more I think about it the more I wonder if he came up with the idea as a desperate way to get into my pants because in his narcissistic mind he thought I'd automatically be attracted to him if he started presenting as female.

ETA: Jesus, imagine if I had said "maybe" to his question of if I'd want to date him if he were female.

Didn't happen to me, but to my sister.

So she just moved into a different middle school with world history class in particular. The teacher in the class decides to not really stick to the subject of history (the teacher looked pretty average, but millenial-ish according to her). Instead the teacher pulls up pointless "projects" about poor people, immigrants, etc. as well as taking jabs on Trump on occasions. Because of that, almost no one passed the class other than my sister and a few others.

Despite the school not doing anything about it, my sister pointed out that the teachers "don't like that him though".

Shit, this reminds me of my 7th grade state history teacher, she used her class time to talk about pollution, global warming and how bad Bush is instead of anything she was supposed to. This just a thing with history teachers?

Often, they're not there to teach history; they're there to make history.

At least most of the history teachers around the school district are competent.
