"Someone once made me feel bad about social justice, therefore, social justice must be bad, because my delicate fee-fees are more important than realizing I might have made a misstep, so fuck everyone who tries to identify with social justice. But I love Trek, so I have to figure out a way to address that."
You have been FAR more polite than our dear wonderful GrayArcadian has been. She's eating a sammich right behind me and needs more compliment..... I digress. M has literally been kicked out of Trek fan communities on facebook for telling men off for being assholes.
I know that he can't see me as anything not someone who yells at people which makes it complicated but I don't like yelling. I don't think it changes anything.
So my experiemce was that SJ arose and a concept, and people started to adopt it, and then people behaved in specifically shitty ways and got labeled with SJW
As opposed to just social justice. the warrior part used to connote someone who didn't care about other people but claimed to be working on the side of Justice.
Ew, dick swinging men. The men who are too stupid to consider that if they're set off by the phrase 'social justice' maybe there's a problem and it's in them
Honestly just the fear of being told 'no' seems to enrage or terrify most men. You don't have to do or say anything against them, you just have to have your own opinion.
And appears to think that social justice = cancel culture? Has a very skewed idea of what social justice is, but is absolutely convinced that he's right and refuses to listen to explanations.
The FB group? The ones who actually talk are primarily older, white, and male, going by their photos. The reason I keep digging is just because it's hard for me to watch the show and see what they saw.
with the above, I was actually trying to drill down to where we agreed because I think we actually do! On a lot! So i felt I was being decent, not hostile/heated.
Someone definitely just said "you were both at fault" and other than walking away--which I grant you, I should've done - I just can't figure out what I said that was wrong? Meh. I'll get over it.
"confident in your opinion" only translates to "combative" when you're a woman tbh. You were not combative, you just didn't allow him to convince you to throw away your opinion and nod along with his
YES I KNOW this is bad for me just...I have NO IDEA how this guy got so mad
