New user, excuse any clumsiness in this post as I get used to doing anything but lurking.
So, I'm kind of a recovering SJW. I was pretty awful, I practiced it offline, lost a few friends and lived pretty miserably because nothing stood up to my expectations that tumblr made me believe I deserved. I was the friend that people would purposefully make offensive jokes near so they could watch me spazz into a faux panic attack.
But the fellow IRL SJW friends were the ones that got lost. At some point I realized how far things had gotten, how far THEY had gotten, and backed the fuck out. For a solid week one of my friends got me into the otherkin fad, and that was my red flag to jump out.
Said friend is one I've known for over half my life, loved her to death, don't even give a shit now if I'm powerleveling too much and she recognizes me here because frankly she would need the shock. In any case, it started off with her identifying as asexual, and despite having a condition(a treatable one) that tends to kill sex drives, she would get angry any time anyone indicated it might be medical and could be fixed. She'd throw a fit if anyone assumed she was 'broken'. And then she began to reveal some stuff that had always been going on, but tumblr reinforced it...She believed she was a fairy/fae thing that had empathetic healing abilities and could telepathically communicate with hurt creatures. And then she told me that I was actually a dragon and in a past life we had guarded some forest together. Well. I didn't want to lose the friendship, I was lowkey thinking she was schizopal or something, but I went with it for a small amount of time. But it all had to stop when she told me that she was literally Lapis Lazuli from Steven Universe. And one of the girls from Mad Max: Fury Road. And a genderless robot. And some anime girl from RWBY. And they just kept adding on and on...And then diagnosing herself with Autism, AVPD, anorexia(the years I spent with her, she eats like a pig), PTSD(from petty middle school drama), the list goes on and on and on. I finally realized that I did not want her friendship when she tried to cheat on her boyfriend with mine, and when I told her boyfriend, she tried to 'kill herself', aka cut her wrist a single time very shallow.
I know dozens of SJWs in my life, but only one more is interesting--a self acclaimed Marxist, genderfluid, shoplifting drug-loving hoe. Details can be given but I don't want this post to be longer than it has to be.
