No, I would say that title goes to the word "troll". Basically, everyone that says something you don't agree with is a "troll". I think this in turn has resulted in the heavy use of the word SJW because such people are notorious for their intolerance to differing view points and their quickness to use insults.

Hmm, I guess the term "social justice troll" may have just come into existence.

You gave yourself away there. That may be true that its no longer a novelty but that doesn't make it any less wrong. During the crusades torrching people by the stake wasn't much of a novelty either, but does that mean we should stop bringing attention to it and shaming it? No. In 20 years you might even say that transgender heros in games wont be such a novelty either, but again, does a new standard mean that we cannot fight that standard or that by virtue of being standard a standard can not be wrong?

Agreed. Im guessing its an American phrase, I never hear it used in the UK so I haven't a clue what they are talking about.
Edit: *looks it up* oooh! Well, yeah some people are going to bitch about anything and everything.

Wait, are you saying it's wrong for women to be leads in video games?

In line with that example, two ladies that had their taco business shut down because of cultural appropriation. |
Yep, exactly. This is what Social Justice Warriors do. Anyone who sides with them is scum.

It's referring to people who get bent out of shape when someone else is politically incorrect and go on a public tirade because of it.
SJW are good and bad.
They bring light to many issues but they are so deeply to one side that may be attracted to extreme ideas to get what they want.
They want conformity to ensure people get respect but to many that is fascism in a different light.
Yeah, I really thing the extreme labeling predates Trump by at least 4-5 years. The most overused terms are all the ones the SJWs use. When I think of SJW I don't think of someone who is looking for equality or using logic. Equality for all is a great goal to strive for. The rhetoric of SJWs at the moment isn't for all.

So, these are websites you deliberately want to distance yourself from, but still posted as sources... maybe that's not a smart thing to do.
I actually did some googling and found out about Eva Tiamat Baphomet Medusa and Stefonknee Wolscht, whose names you omitted. Turns out that yes, most of the reporting does come from right-wing sites showing them for shock value, conviniently omitting their work as activists. In Stefonknee's case her "play therapy" is conveniently conflated with her "believing she's six!! Shock and horror!" Unsurprisingly this has resulted in death threats.
I've seen this tactic time and again, to paint trans people as "freaks" to be paraded for your amusement. It's quite repulsive and I'd advise you to stop posting such rubbish.
As an aside, which Youtuber was that? Kind of curious on what rabbit hole one would have to go down to end up on MrCTV. |
As I said before, it doesn't matter which webisites you go to for those stories because it's widely covered. I didn't omit anything. Their "names" were in the articles. You're like the other person who was trying to fit me into a position I didn't take. Keep having a bug up your ass about the websites. I can link plenty of others with the same info. I was simply pointing out when social justice goes too far. I'm completely fine with treating people like people (that includes transgendered people) but in these extreme cases, I draw a line with transage, transracial and transpecies. Edit. the trans youtuber is Blair White btw.
