Encounters With SJWs/Tumblristas Offline or In Unusual Communities

It's something insanely autistic I've never really heard of, so sounds like it deserves one.

I guess it's a question of whether it's a CW thread or here.
Likely CW, since its not really on tumblr and theres plenty of similar content in CW
 
I think this is the best place to post this, but I recently re-read "The official Politically Correct Dictionary and Handbook" from the early 1990s which was poking fun at "PC" as this sort of thing was then called. Some of it is woefully outdated (ever referred to Warwick Davis as a "PORG" (person of restricted growth) or as "vertically challenged" or as a disabled person as "handicapable" or suchlike?) but other bits are spot on and very little's changed really.

My personal favourite is the idea, genuinely floated back then, that grammar is racist and sexist and PROBLEMATIC because correct grammar excludes marginalised people who never had the opportunity to learn it property or suchlike. Which I've seen genuine SJWs spout nowadays.

Thankfully, one item of old school PC autism that never materialised is the idea of "hung punct" which is where you extend a punctuation mark at the end of a paragraph to the right hand margin to show that you're aware and in tune with the needs of marginalised people. It's basically written privilege checking, except more autismal.
 
Oh, boy, I could write you guys a book. I must be cursed with knowing several people who are SJWs IRL. I posted once in another thread about a long-time friend (also an ex-girlfriend) who went from a sweet, funny, mostly-nice person to a racist, fake-pronoun-using bitter twat who also hated straight and "cis" people.

But I also recently had an encounter with another long-time friend. We were schoolmates in earlier years and had reconnected on Facebook. In that time since I'd last seen her she'd gotten her nose permanently stuck skyward. The few times she condescended to "talk" to me, she got uppity and huffy over a couple things I shared or mentioned in passing. NONE of which were offensive or nasty. She ended up pissing me and a friend off and he trolled her hilariously. Even the most blatant of trolling statements was met with legit hysterical rage. It was amusing, baffling, and kind of sad.

And I have ANOTHER longtime friend, who, while being a really sweet girl (albeit crazy), is going too far down the SJW path for me to feel comfortable. She says stuff like, "If you don't honor preferred pronouns, you shouldn't be friends with me." Cue eyerolls.

I left out a lot of detail for tl;dr/hide powerlevel purposes, and am willing to elaborate more if there is interest, but yeah, it's very frustrating knowing them in person! At least they usually confine it to social media.
 
Watched today one of those "gossip and fun" random live shows and apparently the star today was a 17 year old transexual boy, apparently the "first" in his state (surely the first of course...). The way he spoke sounded like he had just studied his speech, very robot-like and emotionless.

I wonder if this kid just hasn't been on tumblr a little too long and maybe in two/three years he'll feel terrible regret for this. I mean, most people did weird things at 17 that they thought to be doing the "right" thing, only to feel regret later (teens are the years of your stupid decisions). I feel all this "i'm gay/bi/trans" thing that teens are into nowadays is just following the "cool" gay bandwagon trend that social media spergs over and since everybody likes following the sheep around...

I'm just surprised since I thought this tumblr nuttiness only occurred in the USA, but eh, based on the "transphobic" comment I heard at a con last year, and the "kill the patriarchy" graffiti in my college, I suppose I just have to accept this. Sigh...

power level but i have little cousins around these ages that i haven't seen in forever and i'm praying they don't turn into trans-trending man-hating tumblrinas or anything crazy like that plz...
 
I thought I had chilled out things in the game group where some chick randomly called me a shitlord for no reason but months later, when I just sort of casually said "remember that time you called me a shitlord and that was kind of funny because you couldn't possibly have been serious about that?" she flipped the fuck out even worse than the original time, but luckily, she left the group forever because apparently, just having a person like me in it was unacceptable.

So apparently my mere existence was enough to chase off an SJW.

I guess I'm ok with that.

What exactly was the aftermath of that amongst your group?
 
So last week I actually saw a non-binary walk by me at college.
They were really heavy-set, maybe 300-400 pounds, and their jaw was in a permanent scowl from the force of gravity.

Their hair looked like they had crushed up cyan blue and pastel pink, mixed it up, and soaked their head in it with hot water, before giving themselves a shitty attempt at a pixie cut.

I was passing the time before my next class sitting in a couch, but when I saw them I immediately lost track of the game I was playing to try and take in what I was seeing. Were they a boy? Or a girl? Were they even human?

And then they came to the stairs. It was then I realized they were wearing granny denim shorts up to their naval, and you could see a clearly defined bulge/cameltoe form the back, as well as their asscrack in clear view. They would heave one leg onto the step, and then another onto the same step, then catch their breath for a second.

They did this for the next 10 steps until they got to the mid-clearing, and at that point they had a line of six people waiting to pass.

And then our eyes met, and I could see them trying to figure out what I was. Then I saw a faint shadow of a 'stache, and what looked like a 5-o'clock shadow, and a bra strap peaking out from their shoulder. They gave me the look that said "male scum", and proceeded to make the next climb up to the first floor. And that was the last I saw of them that day.

I live in a pretty conservative neighborhood, so I never thought I'd see this event unfold.

But on the plus side, they don't allow furry porn or yiffing.

I came from the era of Neopets, and not even they had this shit.
 
I've got a transgender person in one of my uni classes who reminds me terribly of Sophie LaBelle. Like, this person is very, very clearly a male, but wears dresses and makeup and colors their hair a horrifying dark teal at the bottom. Doesn't shave their legs, arms, or try to use a bit of a higher voice. But the face and manner of speech is extremely similar to Sophie LaBelle's.
 
The other day near the snack machine I found a girl with a t-shirt that said that "feminism: the belief that women should be treated as people" aka that definition that floats around tumblr at times. the girl was close to hijab-wearing muslim girls (lots of muslim girls go to this school).

Would've snarked but i was busy and she was like 6 feet tall.
