Encounters With SJWs/Tumblristas Offline or In Unusual Communities

[Positron]

From reading these posts it seems alot of SJW hang around colleges and getting degrees in the long run that wont amount to shit. Unless your really good at playing a victim and really lucky like a Wu or a Quinn, it seems following that hardcore ideology just gets you stuck with a useless degree, a fuckton of student debt, and zero people skills.

If they want to waste their time and their folks' money, that's their prerogative.

The problem is that they also waste the time of other students, students who genuinely want to learn instead of engaging in playhouse politics; waste the time of the teaching staff (not including those teaching "how-to-make-shit-up" courses like Cultural Studies, Media Studies or Gender Studies as they are Asking For It); make a mockery out of student feedback, and create a toxic environment for everyone around them.

My sister is actually unfortunately big into the whole stupid scene. Big fan of Doctor Who and Sherlock...she refers to herself on her tumblr as a "self proclaimed Anglophile," but fortunately doesn't seem to have any "kin" or "headmates" or made up pronouns. She's big into the idea that white men are responsible for all the evil throughout the history of the world...she's always been an upper middle class white American girl and our dad paid for her college, which she repaid him for by becoming a raving SJ psycho. He seems to enjoy it, though, because he's always deliberately pushing her buttons to make her freak out.

She claims you can't trust the dictionary because it was written by white men. "Racism is power+privilege." Rape culture, patriarchy, all that. She does little else besides smoke pot and complain about how she makes no money and America sucks and is just the worst and how England and Australia are so much better in every way, and how when she gets enough money she's going to live "Literally anywhere but here...or Asia...or Africa...or South America...or Eastern Europe...or Western Europe..." She'll bend over backwards to blame America for anything and absolve its enemies of anything. Our discussion on the A-Bomb was essentially her saying it was unreasonable of America to demand unconditional surrender and we should have made whatever concessions the Japanese wanted to avoid dropping the bomb.

One time I let her borrow a DVD box set of mine and when she returned it after a year, she had completely destroyed the first disc. When I said she should replace it...not even the whole thing, just the $10 first disc she ruined...she freaked out and screamed and took to Tumblr to bitch about how it was my fault and why didn't I replace it myself, because I lived at home and what expenses could I have? When I pointed out that she also lived at home and had literally no expenses outside of the enormous amounts of pot she smoked, that I had to pay for my car, car insurance, student loans, phone bill, insurance, and anything else I wanted, she replied by saying she needed the money more because how else would she afford her six month to a year long vacation in Australia?

Oh and she's 25.

I actually dated a girl I know now was an SJW like 4 years ago. Seemed too good to be true at the time. She was a tall, sexy, spiky haired, leather jacket wearing, punk-rock Asian chick. Drop-dead gorgeous, and unfortunately a proto-tumblrina. But like I said, ridiculously sexy, and the fact she really hated keeping her clothes on made me overlook a whole bunch of tumbrific behavior for longer than I should have.

- When we first met, she said something along the lines of "so do you think I'm Chinese or Japanese?" She got offended when I (correctly) inferred from her name she was in fact Vietnamese. A white person should apparently know nothing about other cultures' naming conventions. Or anything about any other culture for that matter.

- She had very strong preconceived notions of how I, being a white guy, should think, act and believe. She would get upset if I acted differently from how she thought i should. Our conversations rarely went much beyond small talk for that reason. She had me figured for an ignorant racist hick and nothing was gonna change her mind.

- She firmly believed I was racist, conservative, and Christian. I'm well known to be tolerant, rather liberal, and agnostic. She'd constantly try putting words in my mouth to fit her narrative. She'd always insist that she knew I must have something against gays/minorities/etc. but that I was just real good at hiding it.

- She'd always tell me about how hard her life was and how rough she'd had it. Told me she and her folks had been poor and immigrated to escape tyranny and that she didn't know a word of English when she arrived. Turns out she was an infant. Didn't know a word of any language. Also her parents were rich and saw a better business opportunity.

- Never shut up about my "privilege". I've been poor and working class my whole life. I live in the woods in what can best be described as a shack. She lived in a very nice neighborhood, in a nearby major city, in a 3 story house she owned outright. Had a Masters degree from an excellent university and worked a part time dick-off job just because she felt like it. She got money from her folks. She'd always talk down to me because I couldn't afford college. Also, it turned out she just never bothered getting her citizenship until her mid twenties, because she got most of her education cheap or free as a noncitizen (or so she said). Me being a white dude totally made me super privileged over her though and I never heard the end of it.

- I shared something on my Facebook wall celebrating Obama's reelection, and she called me out in the comments because she "Knew I voted for Romney, so I shouldn't pretend otherwise" She would not believe I not only had no problem with a black president, but also voted for the guy. She'd always find reasons to pop on there and go "nuh-uh, you're a racist/sexist because you're white/male!" I ended up blocking her.

- I forget what brought it up, but one time I used the term "Founding Fathers" and she freaked out, called me sexist because apparently I'd used that term to "erase" the founding mothers. No response when I asked who they were.

- I'm 1/4 Native American and 3/4 German. She told me the German didn't count because Germans are white and whites have no culture. So I guess I'm 3/4 white. She was certain that as a white guy, I had a problem with interracial couples. She apparently didn't notice we were one.

- She kept getting weirder. You'd think she secretly wished I was a bigot or something. The stories she'd tell about her "hardships" kept getting more and more unbelievable. One day she called me up at work and told me that during some conversation a few weeks prior, she said something and I "didn't validate her feelings" and would I like to apologize now? I just basically walked away from the whole thing at that point.

Sounds like she had a certain "fantasy" image of you, and that's what she fell in lust/love with.

Odd, such a dedicated culture warrior falling in love with someone she perceives as racist hillbilly.

Watch Beauty and the Beast sometime, some people just fucking adore the idea of falling in love with damaged goods and 'fixing' them to make them into the kind of person they wanted in the first place.

Wow, yeah that's probably exactly it. You said it way better than I could!

It just started to wear on me. Like it just boggled her mind how being "super oppressed", she managed to study abroad in two different countries, own her own home, and work a minimum wage job just because she enjoyed it.

Being super white guy privileged, I was obviously just some slacker who had chosen the blue collar, broke half the time, paycheck to paycheck lifestyle. And it irritated her.

One of the few SJW oddities I've seen in person was flyers for a social justice club at my school. I haven't seen the members yet, but from what I can gather was that they didn't do much other than a first meeting and eventually a movie and popcorn, and then suddenly disappeared by the next semester.

As for assuming...they could've been those silly ol' Tumblrites, complete with shitty pronouns.

I got a group of SJWs, the uber-right Parents Television Council. However, I'm not sure if they're worthy of a lolcow page yet, but given their double standards, hypocrisy and the toxic presence of their former founder L. Brent Bozell, then I guess it could be reasonable.

Is this becoming a thing? I'm suddenly hearing it everywhere, but I've never seen it yet with my own eyes.

I went by my (very diverse) alma matter last week, and I noticed very little I would call social justicey. I saw more fliers for actual Marxism than for Social Marxism. (The Black Student Union was bringing in a police detective to talk about the recent deaths of innocent black kids at the hands of cops. Not a very SJWish choice.)

The only SJishy events I saw ads for were put on by student life, i.e. the administration, not the students.

I've gotten to know a few SJWs in real life unfortunately, even one who is an otherkin. I was close friends with one and I have a lot of stories about her, and she is the only one that I figured was an SJW before checking out her Tumblr. The close friend I will refer to as A, the otherkin will be referred to as M. There are two others that I haven't gotten to know well enough to talk about them in detail, and I will refer to them as C and D.

A has a really huge disconnect between her stated identities and what she has done, both past and present, and is very much a special snowflake. She states she is agender, aromantic and asexual. However, if one looks at her Tumblr, she reblogs a lot of yaoi porn even though she says to me in person that she's repulsed by penises. She used to be a lesbian, but said to me that she doesn't want to touch other women sexually. What is even more interesting is that in the last couple of weeks she changed to aromantic even though she has had a girlfriend for a year and is not going to dump her now, because she apparently likes kissing. I've been skeptical of her sudden change to genderfluidity because she justifies it with the strangest bullshit, like that she suddenly changes to feeling like a man because she stands with her legs wider apart. She even did some really bizarre stuff like draw anime boobs all over my planner because she thought it would cheer me up (NO), and even worse she drew ecchi of a friend I had a crush on for my last birthday, all without asking me. Like I really needed her to tell me she thought of my crush in a sexual way.

The otherkin M I'm actually really concerned about, I'm wondering if I should do an intervention because she's 16. She blogs some typical extreme SJW stuff about race and gender (race especially) and could deserve her own thread but doesn't because she doesn't write her own stuff, all she does is reblog stuff she presumably agrees with. Back when I followed her the stuff she reblogged actually really scared me because of the extremeness. She went off the deep end some time in November when Big Hero 6 came out and she started being a fictionkin to Tadashi Hamada. Since then she now considers herself fictionkin to Captain Kirk, Anakin Skywalker, Captain America, Spiderman, Romeo Montague, Troy Bolton from High School Musical and Garnet from Steven Universe in addition to Tadashi, and is even a dogkin (inb4 bitch jokes). She is also questioning whether she or not she is fictionkin to Harry Potter, Raleigh Beckett from Pacific Rim and Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians. I just noticed now how 9 out of 12 of her confirmed and questioning kins are white guys, which is strange considering her extreme views on race theory and that she's latina in real life.

D and C are fairly run-of-the-mill by Tumblr SJW standards, like being/supporting tucute and saying POC can't be racist to white people. However, they stand out to me because they're radical feminists, they say misandry doesn't exist and contrary to popular Tumblr opinion, they actually believe feminism is not about equality but about liberation, which makes me actually scared of them. Honestly I ask myself as a girl, what, pray tell, do they think I need to be liberated from?

Again, I actually want to do an intervention on M because she worries me, especially since she has a boyfriend that I believe she met over Tumblr who is also fictionkin to several characters and is self-diagnosed with mental disorders and proudly calls himself an SJW. Should I do it, and how?

An Anglophile who also blames white men for all the bad things that happened in the world.

Nope, no conflict of interest there.

LOL, colonialism.

I've watched many friends fall into the SJW cult unfortunately.

They started out being okay in high school (back when they had an actual sense of humor) by when they went into the liberal arts college in Vancouver (to take theatre studies) that was when they became rather brain dead.

Still not sure if they were trying to fit in or what.

If I might bring up a counterpoint about Beauty and the Beast and Stockholm Syndrome...

And to get back on topic, here are two greentext stories about SJW types in a hopefully fatal collision with IRL.

Yeah I'm not sure if she hates white men because she hates our dad, a white man who has provided her with everything she's ever gotten, or if she now hates him as a result of her hatred of white men.

One time we were watching TV and I briefly stopped on an Iron Maiden concert and she scoffed all derisively because "Nobody wears band t shirts to a concert." I was like "We're looking at a picture now of like, 50,000 people wearing band t-shirts to a concert." She said you're not supposed to because "If you wear a band t-shirt to see that band in concert, what you're saying is that you're better than the other people there because like 'Oh I've liked this band forever,'" but it's cool if it's a shirt you bought at the show. I still legitimately have no idea what that even meant, like, am I supposed to buy tickets to see a band I've never heard and just pray I like them enough to be able to buy a shirt?

That's not SJ related, but I think that weird sort of judgmental dicketry goes hand in hand.

I went to a different college than my group of friends. And one of the girls in the group turned pretty SJW, being one of the few girls, everyone else followed. I met up with them a few months later and they spent the whole time talking about "shitty attitudes" and privilege.

Really weird to see people I spent 5 years with go pretty crazy in 5 months.

It depends on the band. I'm not surprised Iron Maiden fans would wear Iron Maiden shirts to an Iron Maiden concert, because their fans seem like the type who would do that. But for bands with smaller followings, it's just considered kind of tacky or just a faux pas. Like, usually you wear a band t-shirt to say you're a fan of the band. If you're at the show already, it's assumed that you are a fan, so wearing the shirt is just kind of redundant. Also, usually people buy band merch after the show is over, at least the shows I've gone to.

I went to see The Residents with a friend in New York a few years back, and she wore her Residents t-shirt. She was the only one at that show wearing a shirt for the band she was seeing. But it didn't really matter that much, we were both seeing them live for the first time and it was still an awesome show.

So, it's not that big of a deal. I find it odd that she insists it's a bragging thing though. I can't make sense of that at all.

What's funny about the whole "white men wrote the dictionary" thing is that regardless of who wrote it, the dictionary is supposed to be the normal definitions of the consensus for different words. So for example, if enough people invent and use a new word like "blog", it gets added to the dictionary.

blog (1) n. an instrument of the patriarchy used to express privilege. I oppressed a thousand POCs today on my blog. (2) vi. to perform cultural appropriation. He blogs about his favorite Japanese foods. See also: mansplain.

White men also invented the internet- I think they should stop using it and make their own separate internet. like the DPRK, but more inclusive. Like the DPRK.

My roommate is sort of in the SJW vein. She's a really sweet girl, but I try not to talk to her much because the things she says are pretty cringe-worthy.

- I'm going to business school, because I'm at a point in my life where I really just need to get a degree that will let me support myself. When I told her this, she said, "I guess that could be important in our materialist society." Of course, she's majoring in art and minoring in gender studies.
- Claims to hate capitalism, but I think it's more like she hates any form of economy that, you know, actually requires people to be productive and stuff, because that's mean. For some reason thinks that only capitalism is like this???
- Apparently her beef with capitalism is that "it's not nice."
- As far as I can tell, has no real interests outside of LGBT stuff; doesn't like to hang out with men unless they're gay men.
- Will draw women naked, but not men. (ART MAJOR. Oh my god, how can you not want to draw both male and female nudes if you're an art major?)
- Genuinely thinks that the only reason anyone would ever vote Republican is because they're selfish and mean.
- Of course, her parents pay for everything.
