Encounters With SJWs/Tumblristas Offline or In Unusual Communities

[One Man Bland]

It's always urban fantasy with these guys.

My guess it has to do with laziness. With regular fantasy or sci-fi you have to create a new setting from the ground up and taking how this new world functions, its economy, government, social hierarchy, etc. and explain that to an audience in an engaging manner, while urban fantasy often defaults to "oooo there's a Magic Thing that exists in our modern world, but Normies don't know about it because reasons!" because that takes out three-quarters of the work that goes into world building.

Easier to insert identity politics and "muh representation" into a setting where you don't have to think about how your they/ them pronouns would mean diddly squat to your peasant father when he's trying to marry you off to the neighbor boy for a dowry, or how race relations might change when aliens and such are involved.

And even when they do write in a proper sci-fi or fantasy setting, they shrink their world. It always seems to devolve to sex, relationships, and either a shiny "progressive" Mary Suetopia or a grungy strawman dystopia.

I ran into another SJW at a 40k shop though this one is mostly sane by comparison to the last one I ran into.


A few months back I picked up a space marine army on massive discount from a hobby shop that closed down. I got thirty marines, a few rhinos and razorbacks, a couple predator tanks, and some whirlwinds. A nicely built armored unit about half painted in custom heraldry. The few painted and helmetless marines were a mix of conventional fleshtone, a pale to tan thing, and black. There were two squads and a whirlwind painted, so I set them aside as an allied detachment. I match the new ones to my existing Carcharodons Astra and pack everything away.


A few weeks pass and I hear about a tournament going down at a large hobby shop in a nearby city. I register, more intent on having fun than anything else, and go through my games. I placed top 10, so I was happy, and settled down to run some casual games with some of the others.


A nice black guy sits down across the table and asks to play. I'm happy to, so we roll to see who deploys first. He goes first, and starts deploying a guard army of fuckawesome painted minis, all of whom are black. I ask about the total lack of heraldry and he says, "I made this army to bring more black representation to the shop." My question seems to have made him defensive so I nod along and ask if he considered making a regiment and backstory to build from that. The defensive tension starts to bleed away and we get to chatting, our own game mostly forgotten.

It's nice to see a story with more of a positive ending.

I believe someone I knew through a recreational sport league turned out to be a SJW.

Spoiler: When Sports and Social Justice Mix

I'll call her Irene and her then-bf Henry. Henry is African American and she's white.

After one particular season in the league, Irene and I made the observation that the captain from one of our rival teams (I'll call this person Judy) seemed to purposely overlook certain players form our team when Judy needed substitutes. In one instance, a number of our teammates stayed to watch Judy's team play. She needed two players to round out her roster that night, but she only asked one of them to play and purposely chose to play short one player. Irene and I couldn't understand why she wouldn't ask one of the other people to give her the minimum needed for a full team.

I then asked Irene if she felt Judy was prejudiced against her and Henry being a mixed couple because there's still some people that are prejudiced against that. Irene quickly dismissed my question and claimed Judy felt Henry was too competitive for a recreational league.

This was also the time where I seem to recall Irene making posts supporting Black Lives Matter and claiming that Henry had been stopped for Driving While Black in the past. She also made a post or two about White privilege.

The next Spring, Irene chose to form a team with her new co-workers. I asked if she needed me to play, but she finally said yes at the last minute once she realized she didn't have enough people to round out the roster. When that season ended, she claimed she wasn't going to field a team in the Summer because her coworkers proved to be unreliable, cancelling either at the last second or simply not showing up, meaning Irene couldn't find subs on short notice and leaving our team playing short handed almost the entire season.

Imagine my surprise to see Irene did in fact field a team that Summer. While she didn't have any of her coworkers on the team, she instead formed a team with other former teammates of ours -- everyone else but me. I found myself wondering why she told me one thing and did another, but I felt it wasn't worth confronting her about it.

However, I can't help wondering if my original question asking if Judy was prejudiced against mixed relationships somehow triggered her, and that my refusal to signal boost her social justice posts also played a part in Irene apparently considering me persona non grata.

That's weird. You'd think Judy might have been all too happy to accuse somebody of racism against her boyfriend.

Huh.

 

[Shitassdeaddude]

Maybe Judy was black and it was the other way around? I think we're going to need slightly more clarification so we know what dynamic was going on.

In the story, Henry is the African-American bf of Irene (white). Judy (white) is a third party who captained a different team. I asked Irene if she thought Judy was prejudiced against mixed couples, and I was told Judy's possible issues with Henry were unrelated to his race. Ever since, Irene hardly interacts with me as if my question triggered her in some way.

Hopefully this clears up any confusion.

 

[Shitassdeaddude]

Ah, alright. Thanks for clearing that up.

Wasn't expecting to find rees of "muh soggy knees" in the reviews of a podcast making fun of kids' books:

 

[Rev]

this isn't as good as most your stories, but I came across an sjw in an overwatch match
I jokingly referred to myself as "daddy" and that was enough to set one of my team mates off. I forgot exactly what she said, but she said something about how that's triggering and I could be a decent human being and not say suff like that. She said a lot more that I forgot.
And then someone from the opposite team got involved (this was all in game chat). They were actually defending me tho. They called her out saying stuff like "you cant expect everyone the censor themselves for you" ect. People were just arguing in chat instead of actually playing the game.

Not really a big deal but I didn't really expect to see a sjw sperging in an ow match. The whole situation was pretty comical.

 

[Vorhtbame]

Yeah, most Tumblr SJWs spend their time with Overwatch Rule 34/63 fanfiction and fanart, not actually playing the game.

I'm amazed Blizzard didn't ban you for that.

So I'm part of a Facebook group for posting fat, cute animals. The group has a jokey rule that you can't use the letter N in posts, you have to use M instead. It's just kind of silly.

This...person decided to post a bit about how they didnt like the rule, thought it was "idiotic", and it "made them upset".

Predictably they got banned for being a fucking loser who can't appreciate a joke or fat animals.

Annnnnd of course they're a troon. Went from a dude named "Marcus" to a Locria lookalike calling itself "Grimmie". Before and after attached.

EDIT: So this individual uses female pronouns and has their gender as "female" but at one point called themselves a "genderqueer nonbinary demiboy". At one point their profile picture was a "demiboy pride dragon" with a Hufflepuff filter over it. I almost want to try to find their Tumblr and maybe have found myself a whole baby cow.

I'll bet she'd jump at a chance to write your code of conduct though.

I'm not sure he can jump. Maybe just sort of lunge upward.

Because he's fat.

Post cute fat amimals.

I suppose college isn't a particularly unusual place to encounter these kinds of people but boy I ran into a winner in my Arts in US Society (which, despite seeming like a class about history and art, is actually a circlejerk of hens squawking at each other about gender and diversity). We were asked for negative examples of controversy in the arts and there's one particular girl (Let's call her Tulip) who when she shuts up has this habit of looking around at everyone like we're all going to assault her. Naturally Tulip's also batshit insane and will not shut the hell about about Mexicans and racial discrimination even where it doesn't exist (she's Mexican, went on a 'fatphobic' rant too because she's a bit on the tubby side).

So with that built up she still managed to throw me off by going on this long ass, totally off topic rant in the middle of class about how Rosie the Riveter was ACTUALLY a Mexican woman named Rosita who they grabbed off the streets and never paid or gave credit to. Now naturally anyone who knows jackshit about jackshit knows this is a bogus story, one so bogus I don't even know where she got it from. Rosie the Riveter's model was actually a white woman named Naomi Parker Fraley who, while quitting the factory job several weeks later, worked at the factory that originally created the poster.

Naturally, ten minutes later this same girl went on a rampage about how mentally ill people are portrayed in horror movies and subsequently told a class of 30+ people that she's a schizophrenic. And we're only three days into the class.

I had a NB peep in my choir class. Since they came from a conservative Texan family (that naturally had a thing against the LGBT community), they would grumble whenever we had to do religious-themed music. Guess what, lots of good choir music happens to be faith-based. The protests became louder during Christmas time when they asked if we could do secular songs. I'm sorry, but pretty much all the rockin' tunes for Christmas will have you singing about Jesus or angels. Well, except Carol of the Bells.

There was also a time my professor did a voice like a stereotypical Japanese person and they got mad and said "that's not appropriate". Joke's on you, BITCH, the professor revealed her mother was Japanese and spoke English just like that. My professor does not look Asian at all so I was mildly surprised that she did have a Japanese mom, but there you go.

Last year, something sort of nice happened with a friend of mine and I thought I'd share it.

A long-time friend of mine got clearance to have a holiday party at his workplace, but he was disallowed from having any thematic holiday decorations lest someone be left out. He then proceeded to ask if he could have them if every available culture was represented, and HR said yes.

That weekend, he put up a Christmas tree decorated with menorah lights and geld, bead ornaments for Kwanzaa, moon-and-star decorations, and topped by a santa ornament. There was some concern that the display would piss off one of HR's flunkies, who was a notorious SJW that tended to get offended by the stupidest shit.

"Merry everything," he said.
And she thought this was hilarious.
The season had been bridged and a good time was had by all.
