Encounters With SJWs/Tumblristas Offline or In Unusual Communities

I'd call /cgl/ a lot of things, but chill isn't one of them.

Lolitas tend to be even bitchier and snarkier than the rest, and they're as anti-SJW as the rest of 4chan. As you can imagine, SJWs don't handle being snarked at very well. I've seen the person @Meowthkip mentioned mocked there more than once when SJWs in the community came up.

Also, isn't having arms that long a symptom of Marfan Syndrome?

It can be. Long limbs and especially long fingers in general, really.

I had a friend who turned out to not be a friend at all who was a hardcore SJW and into Lolita.

Are there a lot of them in the Lolita scene?
Yeah, there are. Lolita has always attracted very special snowflakes, but a lot of the lolita community takes place on Tumblr and many of them are teenage girls, a lot are trans or lesbian so you can start to see where SJW stuff comes in.
/cgl/ is really different, if people are anti-SJW they don't usually say it publicly so that's why you see more anti-SJW stuff on /cgl/ where they feel safe. Whereas SJWs mostly avoid /cgl/.
There was another event recently, where someone was "trolling" on the lolita secrets livejournal by making racist comments. SJWs decided to flood the secrets community with ~positive secrets~ about how lolitas could be any race, gender or body type! Ignoring all the reasonable people pointing out that they were feeding the trolls and 99.9% of lolitas already don't care what your race is, it was literally just one bottom tier troll who probably isn't even a lolita.
Another recent post on a Facebook group had a girl asking what other people's headmates thought of lolita and if they liked to wear it. It garnered quite a few serious responses.
There is a substyle called "wa lolita" that is sort of like kimono inspired lolita. As you can imagine there have been several arguments over whether or not wearing it counts as cultural appropriation. (in a fashion that's culturally appropriated from Japanese people who appropriated it from Western fashion...)
Oh, and the girl's arms didn't really seem that long, I wouldn't have even noticed if she hadn't pointed it out.
 
"Chill" probably isn't the best word for /cgl/. The entire EGL community is filled with drama, including /cgl/. There are some really great threads that are similar in content to things you'd find here (cringe, weeaboo horror stories, etsy shit). However, girls frequently get pretty sandy about people they don't like (typically because they're fatter/show more skin/are more popular). Cosplay and lolita are Serious Business to them, but if you're civil to them, chances are they'll be civil to you.

That said, I guess they can be pretty chill in context of the rest of the lolita sites. A lot of the facebook communities revolve around handholding and asspatting newbies who don't want to put time or money into the hobby, in way that is pretty similar to tumblr. Those communities pretty frequently have drama over things like "omg you don't like my ero lolita coord? slutshaming!" which then gets posted to /cgl/ for them to mock and/or rage about. /cgl/ is often one of the only places you can say "Jesus Christ, grow up," or even "No, you're wrong," without risking getting warned or banned by inconsistent mods.

This one is from a really cringey lolita mentoring community. IIRC the girl made the bolero so she could have made it longer, it's also helpful advice for future sewing projects and the group is for advice in the first place. I'm just assuming she's an SJW because "shaming"
I've literally never heard someone get upset about someone telling them they're too tall. I especially don't understand because, like the commenter said, tall girls often have problems finding lolita that fits. I'm almost impressed by how stupid this is.
 
Every single time I hold a door for someone I fear getting lashed out for being a sexist pig regardless of me doing it for everyone.

I have the same feeling, but I'm not going to stop doing it.

Civility is an essential component of society. Allowing retards to destroy it is not an option.
 
Note: whenever I use any adjective to describe anything on 4chan, it should be interpreted in context. /cgl/ is chill by 4chan standards.
Pretty much this. Saying /cgl/ is chill is like saying /tg/ is well-mannered. Sure, compared to /b/ maybe, but you still have to be careful not to slip in nerd-rage froth.

No, not really.

it happened you guys (no, i didnt get laid). i got sjws get legit mad in public and i didnt even mean to.

last night i went with some coworkers to trivia night at the local bar. it's kinda posh and college-y for my taste (2.50 for a glass of beer?!) but hey, they've got couches and girls and liquor and i didn't have anything else going on. we ended up getting a pretty sizable team together and everyone was generally having a good time.

however, the trivia topics were somewhat insane. i expected movies, music, maybe some geography and history. being the hip, swanky bar it was though, our first category was "latin american cinema" (i saw city of god once, guys) and the next was "ecological disasters". it was slightly off-putting, but hey, i had friends and alcohol so it was all good. at least, until the third category: famous feminists.

one of the girls there, lets call her Kez, does not care. i mean, i don't care, but she does not care. she drinks beer and throws the bottles when the fights start and joked the whole way through these fancy-schmancy topics. long story short, i'd marry her if i didn't think she'd knock my teeth out before i finished popping the question. so, immediately, when feminism is brought up she has to have the first word.

"oh, fuck that, i'm like the anti-feminist." several people laugh, and another friend of mine, lets call her kat, remarks that she's a feminist. i try to avoid any tension by remarking that everyone should be treated equally, but nobody likes tumblr-styled gender politics. everyone seems to be more or less in agreement and the round starts okay. except the gauges-and-stupid-sweaters couple at the next table over, who shifted in their seats slightly when they heard us. apparently, the girl was one of the tumblr gender police; the type of person who takes neopronouns seriously. she got up and left, presumably back to campus and the domain of comfortable opinions, and apparently her partner wasn't too steady with her (or was, in 8ch's tongue, a total cuck) because he stayed behind.

this guy is righteous pissed at us, filled with piss and vinegar. not only were we misogynist shitlords, but we also ruined his chances at playing politics for vagina. so he gets up, comes to our table, throws his trivia cards in my face, and just gets to a cartoonish level of mad. "YOU FUCKING SCUMBAG. YOU ARE THE WORST, MOST BACKWARDS PEOPLE. THANKS FOR KILLING MY VIBE, IF I SEE YOU NOT IN PUBLIC (thats not a typo, he was just having trouble making sentences) I WILL KICK YOUR ASS". honestly, i only learned about him and his dates social justice kink later, so i thought the guy might've been fucking around MDE-style. so, i just kinda looked a little lost and asked who the hell he was - looking back, i should've punched him, but i was dead sober at this point - thus a lover, not a fighter. Kez and Kat both laughed, thinking he was some friend of mine pulling a joke, then laughed harder when we figured out he was genuine. he stormed out without giving me an answer, and only when describing them to a friend later that night who had a class with them did i learn the full story.

the punchline is, he left his giant 600 dollar smartphone (because of course he has an expensive phone to properly communicate his deep thoughts about privilege) at the table. Kez wanted to steal it, but i talked her down into throwing it under one of the couches. later that night we watched him waddle back in and angrily interrogate people about it until security came by and told him to either find it himself or leave.

God I hate the tough guy act. My response whenever someone pulls that shit is to tell them to drop their threats and fucking swing. Of course they are always giant pussies.

You missed a teachable moment. Nothing like having your avowed anti-feminist lady friend being the one to seek him out and return his lost property after he freaked out on her.

You do have to wonder what kind of feminist ally would threaten to physically attack a woman for having different political opinions, though.
 
In retrospect I should have explained that to her, but I just nodded, said "of course not" and let things be. Plus earlier in the lecture she tried to convince everyone Edward Snowden was transsexual, so by this point I was too amused to care arguing anyway.

I think she might have been confusing Snowden for Chelsea Manning, who used to be Bradly Manning.

LOL A+ research there, lady.
 
I visited my old high school GSA last spring break and I have an update to share about the otherkin SJW I befriended. I wanted to test how deep she was into this stuff and told her all about Vade, thankfully she was disgusted by Vade's actions. I even let her know about Springtrapp and she's actively avoiding her. So I'm sure she can be convinced out of the whole thing, but as of late she now has a multiple system going on when she didn't before. *sigh* From what other friends of mine said, she rarely talks at GSA, she mostly just sits on Tumblr the whole time, which I'm not really surprised about at this point. I do however think I can reach her.
 
I had a similar experience to the tough guy above - I was walking with some of my friends, lets call them A B and C. So we're commenting on some stuff in some shops in the mall. We get to near Hot Topic and make jokes about some Superwholock looking merchandise. Specifically, I say that that shirt totally crawled right out of Tumblr. My friends laugh, and make some jokes about the kinds of exceptional individual found on Tumblr.

Here comes this big, tubby looking guy and his tiny, latina looking girlfriend. She says I should "collect" my friends for their "totally problematic, ableist statements." I hear my friends laughing - its another Tumblr Takeout Meal. So one of them says, "Ooh, "collect", so scared. Get lost, Tumblrina. And take your landwhale with you."

So the guy gets angry and says that our "fatshaming" and "body negativity" is highly triggering and "You do not want to trigger me! I am a violent man when triggered! I can kick all of your asses!" He...plainly didn't know what a PTSD trigger really was.

And I've been learning a style of boxing (thus I'm reasonably confident I can take him), so I step forward and say "Put up or shut up." He notices I am taking a fighting stance.

He suddenly says, "I am far too triggered with all these shitlords around, lets go, Aimee-chan." My friends laugh and we keep going. Quite a fun series of events.
