Encounters With SJWs/Tumblristas Offline or In Unusual Communities

[Alberto Balsalm]

Ran into some SJWs in Japan. Most weren't weeaboos. Weeaboo and SJW doesn't go together well cuz cultural appropriation, feminism and all the hoohah. One got arrested for shoving a police officer.

Were they generally white or Japanese? I've seen a couple white folk on Twitter moving to Japan and suddenly becoming experts on every Japanese social issue.

How respectful of the culture they were guests in. Fucking white people, amirite?

I didn't spot any Japanese SJWs. I don't know if such persons even exist. They were mostly white and occasionally of another color, but not Asian. They were also the kind where you can tell they are SJWs just by looking at them.

Overweight, with glasses, short dyed hair (undercut included at times), tattoos/piercing and wearing fandom clothes?

"What do you mean I'm disturbing the order here you shitlord?! REEEE--" ~SJW before getting put into Japanese Jail for deportation

Seriously, they tried to stir shit in a culture that emphasizes order and politeness. But I guess they don't care for what the yellamen think.

White man's burden.

The Japanese are too sane for SJWs.

May they continue to be so!

 

[Positron]

Oriental cultures tend to value conformity, fixed social roles, and obedience, and children are taught "you're NOT special; you deserve NO RESPECT until you EARN it". Things are changing unfortunately, and considering children in China today are treated like royalty, I can foresee a new generation of little Chinese SJW monsters.

I don't think the Japanese have been 'too sane' for anything... ever. But thank God their crazy doesn't mesh with social justice crazy.

Almost. Don't agree with the fandom clothes part unless it is a Steven Universe shirt.

I joined my university's radio station as something to do besides class and in hopes of meeting interesting people. Unfortunately it was polluted with Tumblrinas and SJWs.
We were having a meeting one day to discuss policy change and someone mentioned February 14th as a date to schedule something for, and then said "Oh wait, never mind, you all probably have plans." Dude 1 said "Wait, what's the 14th?" and another guy said "Haha, I guess that's how we know you don't have a girlfriend, dude".
Cue the resident Tumblrista leaning across the table and saying to Dude 1 "Wow, that was sexist AND heteronormative of them." This person wears a button that says "He/Him" sometimes, and sometimes one that says "He/Him / She/Her".
Another time I was talking to a member of the programming crew and she seemed nice and normal. We started talking about clothes and she said she likes to shop at Old Navy, "because it has a great selection of clothes for a genderfluid AFAB like me!!"
The person who used to be more or less in charge of programming was also some form of gender-thing. She was in one of my classes and she decided to do a project about how grammar is a "gatekeeper" and how asking people to try and have proper grammar, especially immigrants, is racist and ableist. She couldn't tell the difference between "their", "there", and "they're".

How did she make it into university

She's not even the first one I've met.
EDIT: This is the same person who is friends with Sophie LaBelle on Facebook.

suddenly becoming experts on every Japanese social issue

After living there for how long did they (supposedly) become experts?

Ran into some SJWs in Japan

I'm guessing SJWs are a small minority among foreigners over there?

One got arrested for shoving a police officer.

What led up to that?

Typically not very long. Most recently, I encountered a guy who was just going on his second year of living in Japan, and he was super concerned about misogyny and Gamergate. He was blasting a local workers' organization for having the English slogan "Women Work!", because they totally should've known a foreign language enough to understand that it could be misconstrued as an imperative. He ironically did not know enough Japanese to read that the organization he was criticizing was lobbying for laws protecting women's equality in business.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

He ironically did not know enough Japanese

That's what I thought -- he sounds like a guy who thinks he's an expert on Japan when he clearly isn't.

Women Work!

So he wasn't familiar with "Engrish?"

Gamergate

Somehow I don't think very many Japanese people care about GamerGate.

Wouldn't it not be cultural appropriation if they're actually Japanese?

The gatekeepers are failing at their jobs.

SJWs were more common in the touristy places (Ginza/Akihabara) than you see in some US cities. However they usually shut up when they notice that no one cares about what they have to say.

And the one was obviously in a verbal fight with a "lolita" over how this person was supposedly submissive to the patriarchy and how lolita fashion was a Japanese only thing. Luckily a cop was nearby (cops are easy to find in Japan, however they aint trigger happy). The officer tried to calm the SJW down and said (his English was surprisingly good compared to the average Japanese person) that otherwise she would be disturbing public order. He tried to pull her aside and then she shoved him with a "don't touch me pig". Boom. Arrested.

Most tourist weeaboo aren't Japanese though. SJWs mostly pick fights about cultural appropriation with non-Japanese tourists. Plus, I have yet to find a Japanese SJW.
