Yes, just like how every single label is subjective.

Tired Glutton 04-12-2016 03:02 PM

So is it like a term you use to express your dissatisfaction with what you feel mainstream left wing politics has become?

Nepsotic 04-12-2016 03:08 PM

Has become/is becoming.

Like all labels, it's designed to describe a group of people. "Social justice warriors" in itself does not sound very negative, although it's used as an insult, because there are a lot of people on the internet who just call other people bigots/racists/sexists even when, in my opinion, it's completely uncalled for.

Same goes for "regressive left", as those people usually identify themselves with left wing politics, and call themselves "progressive", sometimes not even understanding the basic concepts like free spech.

Nepsotic, why do you criticize your comrades?

So, it’s a meaningless label you apply to people whose views are too SJW for your taste.

It's true. Like many buzzwords thrown about, the term "SJW" is absolutely meaningless and is just an insult. There aren't any political connotations, and there isn't a need to argue semantics when it comes to it.

Like the insults of calling someone a faggot or autist, they're almost never comments about what those words actually meant, they're used haphazardly because they have a crisp sound to them, and they immediately get across "this means something negative".

Dissociating the term with those who generally use it and its regular connotation.. SJW is someone who vehemently defends a social ideology. It's used to combat or refer to those defending the extreme feminist stances on the internet. Such as this Tracer's Butt fiasco.

SJW make sense.

STM 04-13-2016 04:00 AM

Tbh when I think of SJW, I don't think of someone defending anyone, I think of a "nice guy" fedorabro who whiteknights for personal gain.

Vlam 04-13-2016 04:08 AM

I think most of them are sincere.

Except it's really not meaningless or tossed about as much as you're trying to make people think. It's got a pretty clear meaning.
"Social justice warriors" are literally just that - warriors of social justice. Usually getting offended in other groups of peoples' behalfs, 'privilege checking', basically just doing whatever they can to make themselves feel more powerful and righteous than whoever they're debating.
That's another thing - they are the most self-entitled cunts you will ever meet.

Vlam 04-13-2016 05:58 AM

Except that there's nothing new about it. Other groups have taken the place of the "proletariat".

That's my point.

"How dare Blizzard censor themselves!!!111!! This is disgraceful! We need to be upset, rablerablerable."

How hypocritical. Fighting for ones own sense of personal justice, using the buzzword of "censorship!!!11!" to vehemently defend a moot point. That sounds like Social Justice Warriors to me. Blizzards replacement pose even enforces my reason for irritation, they're not being censored and never were.

The term is an insult now, and those using it are generally absentminded to how hypocritical it is. But I'll agree, SJW's are the most annoying cunts I'll ever have to silently listen to over the internet.

Right, but nobody is actually saying this. It's perfectly understandable for Blizzard to change it what with how the market has evolved into a bunch of people, including the media, whining about gender politics in a medium they probably haven't even touched in their life.

Except for the people earlier in this thread getting mad about feminist censorship and irrational requests.

It wouldn't be a non-issue, if Blizzard ignored the irrational request to remove the non-sexual pose.

The issue is that they didn't.

And people say that feminists aren't ruining anything or censoring anybody's expression.


EVP_Glukkon 04-13-2016 10:47 PM

Who cares about irrational requests, idiots will say whatever they want. Blizzard decide what to ignore or not, they are just trying to please people to make money.

Varrok 04-13-2016 10:53 PM

I meant to say "It would be a non-issue, if Blizzard ignored the irrational request to remove the non-sexual pose."

Thanks for noticing my mistake.

Nepsotic 04-13-2016 11:24 PM

I was talking about the feminists, not Blizzard?

Varrok 04-13-2016 11:28 PM

I'm not really upset with Blizzard either, with the way they actually handled it.

Xorlidyr 04-14-2016 12:18 AM

SJW are just one of those people who have no fulfilling life or an ability to view things in a neutral manner.
I was a SJW once so I would know. I was an antitheist, islamophobic SJW.

When did anybody say anything about females ruining anything?

Varrok 04-14-2016 07:33 AM

For STM all feminists are female. Don't challenge his vocabulary.

Xorlidyr 04-14-2016 09:23 AM

STM is being jocular 80% of the time, so mind it and understand, that you are simply being trolled by him a little.

I'm a feminist and I'm only female like 20% of the time.


Also it appears one does not enjoy the taste of one's own medicine hmm?
