Being a Bestiary of SJWs Most Foul and Wondrous

[melty]

This is one thing in particular that always really bothered me on Tumblr. I've noticed it was mostly women who were into traditionally "masculine" things that were always transitioning to whatever male-centric pronoun they found out about that week. I've always thought that was kind of sexist in itself, if that makes any sense.

It does. I really don't understand this attitude either. I have grilled a few tumblrinas on it and have yet to get a decent explanation (I know, "expecting logic from SJW" but they do usually have some kind of internal consistency even if it's really dumb) it's like they are stuck in the 1950s and if you have any interests besides cooking dinner and getting pregnant, you're obviously a guy. It's really bizarre.

I have had the immense privilege of witnessing tumblr sjw's interact with the real world and be shocked when their peers don't accept odd pronouns or self diagnosed dysphoria.

It was at a party a while back, one of our neighbours had invited some friends round, including some girls who had the bad hair dye common amongst teenagers and the sjw crowd but comparatively rare amongst scots in their 20's. One of the boys, a recently graduated engineer, commented some thing to the effect of ' I like your friends hair, makes her look cute' (or something similar i can't remember his exact phrasing)

He was told that actually 'she' was a 'he' and identified as a 'demi sexual male'

This occured in one of those awkward moments when the conversation lulls so everyone heard his slightly baffled reply:
'so why is she wearing a dress?'

There was some laughter which was cut abruptly short as the sjw started shrieking at him. Full on shitlord mode. The look of confusion on her face when the rest of the party wouldn't lynch him and had the temerity to first disagree with her and then when she wouldnt calm down ask her to leave, was incredible. She seemed genuinely confused as to why it wasnt acceptable for an adult woman to scream abuse at someone she felt was wrong at a party.

Tumblr is 'dangerous' because of how divorced from the real world it's values are. In reality no one cares about 'patriarchy' or your gender identity or your self diagnosed mental health either. People will call you as they find you. That's life: sooner or later one will have to face the music.

I'd love to hear more stories like this one, and I know there are people with their own stories to tell. Someone should start a thread for real-life SJW encounters.

It's like the SJW's and MRA's have more in common than they realize or something.

Lol, it's funny a lot of the time how extremists, even if they're proposing two opposing ideologies, often seem to become indistinguishable after a certain point.

I would be interested in this, because they seem a mixed bag in terms of IRL behavior.
I too have had the dubious pleasure of meeting a Tumblr SJW in the real world. She runs in some of the same circles I do, and I've heard some talk of her extremely abrasive behavior online, which apparently bothers her roommate quite a bit. We ended up hanging at a friends place with a group of people, and she tagged along with her friend.
Firstly, for a group that values diversity, they certainly do have a certain "look". Blue-green hair (cut short, edges shaved), a number of fairly gaudy piercings, some goofy sleeve tattoo on her arm, and a tattoo on the back of her hand with that "ohm" symbol white people get so that can discuss meditation and how deep they are. Wardrobe consisted of that unique combination of "hippy" and "homeless person" outfit that's so trendy these days, complete with ground length skirt in snowy weather. What intrigued me, however, was her subdued (though still rude) behavior:
She sulked on the couch the entire time, despite asking if she could come along in the first place. There was initially a bit of grumbling after a request for her to not smoke inside ("it's just American Spirits, they're natural!"), but otherwise she didn't really say anything. As in, to anyone, for the entire time. She mostly stayed on her phone and ignored everyone. This fascinated me, as I expected a lot of ranting and raving when the conversation turned political. At one point, she corrected someone about the whole "xir/xeh/whatever" thing. I figured his response of "Eh, nobody listens to that stuff anyways" would start a rampage, but she just kind of rolled her eyes and resumed her pouting. I almost wonder if that's a common thread, where people who are raving lunatics online keep quiet IRL because they know they can be called on their behavior. Who would have thought real world consequences would encourage people not to act like assholes?
This is fun! Anyone else got a good "close encounters" story?

I had a friend pull me aside at a convention and told me my talking about multiple systems upset somebody. Though it was more about they thought I was calling people with DID big fakers, but I was talking about people faking it with like, Homestuck trolls as headmates.

My friend was like "okay, that's good. Just don't talk about it anymore."

That's the closest I can think of right now and really it was more of a misunderstanding than anything.

Hmm. I've known a couple MRA types who were raging misogynist wizards before getting laid and then suddenly became normal.

Maybe if we somehow got these two warring clans together and dumped pheromones or something on the lot of them they'd turn into normal people.

It's true; there's even a term for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_theory

 

[StallChaser]

This reminds me of an Oliver Campbell stream where he breaks SJWs into four basic categories along similar lines.

The demagogue - The leaders. The rarest type, but the most powerful.
The sinner - Someone who was an extremist of an oppressive ideology (nazi, white power, MRA) who is trying to atone for their sins, and does so by becoming an extremist in the other direction (they haven't really changed).
The hurt - People who have been legitimate victims of some really nasty shit and are being taken advantage of, or otherwise drawn to the cult of social justice.
The not guilty guilty - People who don't want to be seen as racist, sexist, or whatever other -ism is being thrown around. They're not, but they've internalized in some way that they're guilty if they don't jump through all the hoops put in front of them, and will readily accuse anyone else of [insert -ism] if they don't do the same.

I will be blunt and honest here: both sides of the SJW ideology on tumblr have gotten fucking awful. Like, the only difference between the SJW parts and the anti-SJW parts of tumblr is the fucking political beliefs. Kind of like Democrats vs Republicans. Hell, I'd even say that tumblr has become the living embodiment of the Subreddit "Stormfront vs SJW" on both sides to say the least. I'm almost interested in making a thread in pointing out the lolcows on the other side, since I can tell you that they DEFINITELY exist on tumblr.

So as to make myself not look like I am going off-topic here, yes, I can agree that there is definitely some kind of hierarchy and various kinds of SJWs on tumblr, and surprisingly enough, many of the SJWs have various political ideologies. For example, fucking TERFs and the tupuke crowd are considered to be major SJW shits yet these groups absolutely despises each other. Tumblr politics is actually very interesting to talk about and VERY easy to get jaded on both sides quick, as I have been both very extremist on the SJW and the anti-SJW sides at one point, so I can confirm that both sides have major cows that honestly deserve their own threads and both sides deserve to be criticized to say the least.

What is a "tupuke"?

 

[DirkBloodStormKing]

What is a "tupuke"?

Tucute. Basically someone who believes that being trans is a choice and that dysphoria is not required to be trans. A good example of a tupuke is the infamous idislikecispeople.

Shit bro, thanks for giving me a nasty name to call these disgusting hivemind drones.

I'm depressed that I can't use the word "problematic" anymore. I tend to use that word a lot to describe a thing or action that causes me problems. Now I have to drop it so people don't think I'm an SJW.

You think that's bad? Now anytime you say the word "trigger" it triggers people into thinking you're talking about SJW shit.

Can any of the sjw experts here explain the weird genders like puzzlegender, or catgender or whatever? Like what are these supposed to signify? If you were one of these genders, what is it supposed to feel like for you as a person? Is there any kind of justification for this? This one is easy to handwave, I really want the deeper explanation, however dumb it is.

It's basically just them being special snowflakes because they're line of thought is "I'm more specialer than these dumb truscum, TAKE ME SERIOUSLY PLS."

It's supposed to make them seem more 'damaged' or less normal.

That the person you're talking to is an eye-popping lunatic lolcow who should be laughed at.

If we're talking about IRL encounters... This is probably gonna be incredibly sappy but whatever.

I've told this story before but one of the reasons I really grew to hate SJWs was because I essentially lost a friend to their ideology, and back before I developed a thick enough skin for this stuff I was pretty harmed by it too. That's of course very dramatically stated as we had grown apart in other ways, but it played a big part. She and her sister were both pretty sheltered growing up; they were both home-schooled (not for religious reasons though). So I imagine that made them pretty susceptible to the emotional manipulation and shaming of Tumblr, which they both joined in its early incarnation. Soon, everything followed: Pink hair, septum ring, and an extremely judgmental attitude toward everything I said or did. The older sister became a hyperfeminist ideologue who threw out anything she liked before and chastised others for it as soon as it stopped reflecting her politics. People like this who cannot separate the appreciation of art from politics have since become one of my biggest pet peeves. The younger sister wanted to start taking testosterone, adopted the they/them pronouns, "genderqueer" label, etc. I guess "they" could be, but it reeked of transtrending to me. Given that she's only 15 too this seems like a particularly dangerous move if it really is only pretending.

Now, I was following her on Tumblr and Facebook at the time so I absorbed everything she said. I've always been extremely susceptible to guilt, and the mass-shaming social justice types use was something I'd been harmed by in the past. When I was a young teen I had a lot of times where I hated myself for being white, male, etc. before I matured enough to realize I didn't have to answer for my entire race/gender. My friend essentially dragged me back into that state of mind. It was really unhealthy because I noticed I was taking everything she said at face value because "I don't want to be sexist/racist/homophobic/etc. do I?" One of the most notable moments came when I was feeling really horribly about myself and had to show a friend the blog she'd linked to. He immediately was shocked and said "This is just petty bullying. I can't believe you're taking this seriously." Looking back, I can't either. At the time I was shocked. I thought "Bullying? This is just fighting for equality!" It's scary how much denial I was doing. My friend was awesome by pointing out that an upper middle class, HOME-SCHOOLED white girl complaining about oppression seemed really ridiculous. But being drenched in this was a very educational experience, it taught me to be incredibly skeptical of labels and ideologies, even if they seemed to mirror myself.

The final moment where I knew I had to break with these two was where I was having a crisis over her making fun of "not all men". This fucked the younger, more naive me up. Because it robbed me of avoiding their bile directed against my gender. I texted her asking "What's a more appropriate way to say 'not all men' so people can know I'm not as bad?" She responded by saying "Well, you should never say anything like 'not all men' because the truth is that pretty much all men ARE that bad. You just have to have a really anti-sexist attitude." Gee, thanks. I read that and realized that if someone was really far-gone enough to truly throw out an entire gender, they really were too much for me. It's especially ridiculous because while she said "not all men" was the wrong ideology, she was also dating a white guy at the time (even though omg muh open relationship lolol), so it seems like she had to have been thinking he wasn't like "all men". Blatant doublethink. Now she lives with that guy up in riot grrrl central in the Northwest and I think has been fucking like 11 (!) other guys in addition to him. I worry for him because while he knows it's supposed to be open, I don't think he's as "open" as her so I sometimes worry about how that makes him feel. I don't mean to denigrate open relationships, but that is just skanky as fuck lol.

Also, I just want to say that their hero-worship of Beyoncé was pretty hilarious to me. The older of these two sisters was literally CRYING tears of joy watching her Girls Run the World performance and telling anyone who didn't like it that they were misogynist. I'm not trying to discount her completely, but I seriously have to wonder how much of Beyoncé's feminist image is marketing playing to young college-age Tumblr girls. If her FEMINIST label really is a marketing thing, then holy shit for people so disdainful of capitalism they're being played like utter fools by her.

I've had one or two other experiences with SJW types but nothing so extreme. I saw a poster on my campus the other day that said "ARE YOU AN ASEXUAL, ROMANTIC-TYPE PERSON?" followed by an email. I imagine it was a group to discuss Doctor Who and drink tea and whatnot.

But yeah, common feature of all the SJW people I've met is that they're incredibly passive-aggressively bitchy in real life and seem to do this stuff on the internet to feel like heroes. I think it's pathetic.

(It's one of the reasons I first joined the Kiwi Farms, hearing people of all walks of life finally rip into these retards gave me such an incredible peace of mind )
