Encounters With SJWs/Tumblristas Offline or In Unusual Communities

[beechiness]

It's a very SJW thing to dredge up shit from the past to ruin people's reputations. I'd just laugh if it backfired on them at some point in the future. Which it will. I can't imagine any business wanting to touch a campus crybully with a ten foot pole, knowing it will only lead to drama and lawsuits over ridiculous shit like "microaggressions". I don't think the "diversity consultant" protection racket is big enough for all of them.

Technically true, but digging up juicy tidbits on people (past or present) has *always* been a part of politics.

It's just that social media makes it much easier nowadays.

Probably in a decade we will be desensitized to it and you will need to uncover something really big in order to harm someone

It's a very Internet thing, really. 4chan has been doing shit like that for lulz for years, and it was common sport on Usenet way before that. This site does that.

SJWs are just really douchey and annoying about it and, ironically, the very tactic is laughably easy to do to them, too, and their own pasts are usually pure lolcow material.

I'd say probably the main difference is that 4chan does that for lulz, while Tumblr does it to fight for social justice.

Both are just as progressive.

This is rather minor but in my Diversity in Media class (I'm a journalism major), we were talking about if someone who belongs to the majority group can cover a minority community (particularity a white person covering a POC community). Our professor (a black woman) thought so and cited an example from one of her old jobs at a newspaper in which a white female journalist was in charge of covering Hispanic issues. According to our professor, the woman was really good at her job and even was fluent in Spanish. But of course, some of the students disagreed with her. Something about coming from a place of "privilege."

I mean, I do think some problems can arise if said journalist isn't careful or insensitive. I don't think the students who disagreed with our professor were totally wrong, but I feel like this kind of mindset is rising in popularity and its dangerous. Nothing good comes from segregation.

One of my siblings' friends was a rabid SJW and she would verbally attack people a LOT.

I don't know any specifics, but needless to say, my sibling isn't friends with her anymore.

Tangentially related to your point, but I have huge gripes with the way the word diversity is used. That is, as a roundabout way of saying gtfo white people.

I was reading a newspaper article from a local college about "diversity" in faculty members. It quoted an African (not black American, btw - this guy was from Africa) professor who had worked in a majority white school and was happy that he now was in a department with "diverse" coworkers. Fair enough. But he went on to say that he enjoys being surrounded with people who think and have the same background as him. Hello? How is that "diversity"?

And for the powerleveling record, I'm not even remotely white.

I've seen a few mini 'slutwalk' performances in the city. I always do my best to avoid them, even it means taking the long way to work.

I have a follow up in regards to my particular story. Here is the original post.
I finally got tired of reading her nonsense, and I decided to just cut ties with her completely. I took a few screenshots as examples of her in action, and this isn't even the worst of her. In the screenshots are three people: blue is a stranger, green is a friend of both parties involved, and black is the girl I'm talking about. Green posted a link to an article about gentrification, so blue came in and mentioned something about the interviewee, a pet shop owner in Brooklyn, being notoriously abusive and neglectful towards the pets he sells. Black steps in and does her...thing. She then drags green into the fight, and green tries to diffuse the situation civilly, but the fight ends up continuing beyond what I took screenshots of.

The only class that contains the word "diversity" and imparts real, fascinating knowledge is "Biological Diversity".

I don't regret abandoning critical studies one bit. Just wish I'd done it earlier, because all of those years blowing off math means that I constantly make silly arithmetic errors doing bigger calculations

I knew this person who was an SJW for Autism. He defended people who had some rather heinous behaviors (Examples: A kid randomly slapping people, and another one making threats in the name of his obsession with Yu-Gi-Oh) all because they were Autistic. He even snitched on people that were annoyed with such behaviors. I wish I was kidding.

Once had a friend from high school with Asperger's who loved drawing cartoons and posting on tumblr. When I remet her a few years later in college she was then a self-proclaimed feminist. In fact she did her class project on a feminist. She talked a whole lot, told people that she had depression and had a lot of strange friends.

Well, it's not like she's ranting about Privilege (TM) and trying to rationalize headmates, otherkin and made-up sexualities, right?

...right?

I don't even remember how it came up at the time, but a while ago I posted on Facebook that I was against circumcision of infants for anything but medical reasons. Cue a majorly leftist friend of mine screeching about how I was obviously a monstrous anti-semite and how could I justify my own existence. Something about how if I opposed a traditional practice by a marginalized and persecuted ethnic/religious group I was oppressing them. I was like...dude, there are LOTS of traditions by minority groups that we know are wrong and have banned or condemned. I am just against cosmetic surgery on infants that has negligible (if any) benefits and quite possibly serious side effects. If an adult wants to get circumcised, more power to them, just wait until they're old enough to understand what's going on. But no, major tenet of Judaism that circumcision must be done such-and-such a time after birth or it doesn't count, blah blah blah, die anti-semite.

My younger brother's girlfriend's probably an SJW and I am kind of noticing the Kool-Aid approaching my brother unfortunately...

Have you taught your bro never to stick his dick in crazy? And that no amount of "good pussy" is worth losing his soul?
