@Diakon:

"SJW" is just the new cool fearmongering term that conservatives and some centrists like to use, just like the "uppities" and the Great Feminist Menace of yesteryear (even though some people today still seem to be stuck in the past, tragically).

The reality is that save for a few misguided folks, usually teens who don't have a very in-depth grasp of social politics, as well as a good lot of blatant trolls who know very well what they're doing, the majority of what gets classified as "some kind of SJW bullshit" can be anything from centrist/mainstream/"normal" equality politics (the kind your local law already accounts for, probably, unless you live in some fundie haven), to politics further on the left that favour equity over equality, to radical left politics which don't beat around the bush when it comes to identifying and bringing attention to inequality and "heavier" forms of oppression (like fascism or imperialism), and which are generally known for not being very nice, as they forego all forms of respectability politics.

It's a lot easier to just call everything you don't like or wish to comprehend "SJW bullshit" and label everyone who tries to have a rational discussion about these politics a "pesky SJW" or a "tumblrina" even if they aren't as per the words' definitions, which is why threads like these end up being created everywhere on the Internet, including gay porn sites apparently.

EDIT: Also, according to a lot of people, even something as simple as bringing up LGBT topics or just mentioning that gay people exist is considered "SJW bullshit" and "pandering", which should give you an idea of just how useful that term is in general.

Ah, so a few folks are causing all the crap we see all over the west.

What exactly are you saying is mainstream or centrist that got labeled SJW?    I'd love to know.

Which is worse; #KillAllWhites  or  #KillAllBlacks  I can tell you that this experiment was done on Twitter by several people and Twitter only banned accounts that post one of these, but not the other.    Similar thing on Facebook and YouTube.

YouTube bans for racist videos unless it's anti-white racist videos.    The same as Facebook.    Both have countless channels/pages of black supremacists and nothing happens to them, but white supremacists get their channels deleted.  I believe that ALL racism is bad and should be deleted.

@bob5678:

And? Voting isn't a requirement to exercise your Constitutional rights…

Ah, so you don't have to vote to help your side win, but if your side loses you can riot and loot.

You don't have the right, constitutional or otherwise, to riot and loot.  Nor do you have the right to pour piss over the head of a reporter like they did to Lauren Southern because she was asking about all the made up genders.  Nor do you have the right to force white people to walk through a creek to get to classes.  The list is never ending of things we've seen from the left that they have no right to do.

@raphjd:

Umm, that quote is exactly what you said.

Let's compare:

"SJWs do not exist"

"To be honest, the only time I EVER hear about SJWs is when other people on the internet complain about them. "

No it is not what I said. What are you not getting?

SOOOOOO dishonest.

In your quote, you are claiming that SJWs only exist on the internet and only because people complain about them.  Nowhere in the quote do you admit that you have seen any SJWs anywhere, in real life or on the internet.  You act as if they are mythical creatures that right-wingers made up.

How hard is it to google anti-Trump riots, especially someone who claims to be so clued up on what's going on?

@alibix:

No isn't the same thing. A country of people =/= SJWs. Are you serious?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_equivalence

"A common way for this fallacy to be perpetuated is one shared trait between two subjects is assumed to show equivalence, especially in order of magnitude, when equivalence is not necessarily the logical result. False equivalence is a common result when an anecdotal similarity is pointed out as equal, but the claim of equivalence doesn't bear because the similarity is based on oversimplification or ignorance of additional factors. The pattern of the fallacy is often as such: "If A is the set of c and d, and B is the set of d and e, then since they both contain d, A and B are equal". d is not required to exist in both sets; only a passing similarity is required to cause this fallacy to be able to be used."

"I only ever see SJWs on the internet so they must not exist"

vs

"I only see Americans on the Internet so they must not exist".

Both are the same, except for the subject.

We both know that both groups exist because how else would they be on the internet and in news articles.

@cannonmc:

I do ignore the content but I still have to scroll through all the crap to see any interesting posts from decent members

Umm, there are aren't that many of these topics.

And who the hell do you think you are to judge who is "decent" or not?!

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/28/movies/debbie-reynolds-dead.html

She died just 1 day after her daughter Carrie Fisher.

@cannonmc:

Do you lot ever give up 

Are you still here whining about a topic you claim you aren't interested in?

BTW, when you report me, you report me to me.  DUH!!!!  The fact that you have only been targeting me, shows you are an SJW who can't stand up to his convictions.  Instead of insisting we shut down topics you don't like, just ignore them.

@raphjd:

I live in Scotland.   I see more Americans on the internet than I do in real life.   Therefore, things that happen in America have no effect on the rest of the world, including who is elected President.  See how that doesn't make sense?

Internet SJW feminists get to talk at the UN.  They wanted to criminalize as "violence" calling someone stupid or a liar on the internet.

Jessica Valenti (columnist @ The Guardian), UN Women and many others say that equality harms women, so women need to be lifted above men.

Obama and Hillary make SJW feminist claims, despite official US government stats proving them wrong.   Many, many politicians are guilty of this.   I have only ever seen these people on the internet or TV, so clearly they have no efffect on the greater society.

I've only ever seen Justin Trudeau on the internet, but as Canada's PM, he has affected his entire country by chosing his cabinet members based on their genitals, not experience or merit.

Politicians, despite official stats saying otherwise, keep claiming that cops are killing black people at a rate higher than any other race.

Univesrities routinely pander to SJWs.  If you live in a college town yo will proably see it, but if you live in the middle of nowhere, then you won't.

False equivalency. SJWs are supposed to be everywhere in the west. You wouldn't expect to see Americans in Scotland, but the internet makes i seem hat you should be seeing SJWs everywhere.

All your other statements are honestly very misleading and you provide zero sources and also have nothing to do with this post about a college safe space.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2016/12/27/a-professor-called-trumps-election-an-act-of-terrorism-then-she-became-the-victim-of-terror/?utm_term=.3ea7addaf821

How about you talk about conservative students wanting to sue teachers because of what the opinions the express? Don't they need a safe space?

You see how ridiculous this is? Wouldn't they be SJWs? You're definition of SJW is so loose and basically looks like you call anyone who doesn't agree with you an SJW.

NOPE.  I only ever see Americans on the internet or TV, so they must not exist in real life.    It's the same thing you say about SJWs.

Umm, how f'ing lazy are you?

It's stuff like this that proves you either have absolutely no clue what is going on in the world or you live in an echo chamber.

Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn spoke at the UN.  That info isn't that hard to find out, nor is it hard to find video of them speaking there.

UN Women isn't a secret organization.  It's easy to find stuff from them.  Notice in your search that there is no UN Men, because well gender equality.

Jessica Valenti is a "journalist" and not hard to find info about.

The US Department of Labor and the FBI crime stats prove the gender wage gap and feminist rape stats are lies.

The fact that you don't know about any of this shows you are either extremely clueless or you agree with them so it just blows by you without you noticing.

So, when talking about college safe spaces, we can't talk about SJWs.  Is that what you are saying?!  It does fit with your attempts to remove SJWs from the real world.

Ok, lets talk about that Professor.

She said that half of voting Americans committed TERRORISM and ASSAULT on the US, because they voted for someone she doesn't like.  Her anti-Trump rant had nothing to do with the coursework she was lecturing about.

There isn't a lawsuit, just a complaint to the head of the college.

Ironically, Rob Schneiderman, president of the Coast Federation of Educators/American Federation of Teachers Local 1911 that represents Cox, said he wanted to make it so professors and STUDENTS can have free speech on campus.  So that is the opposite of college "safe spaces".

The funny thing is, this article doesn't mention any of the cases where conservative Professors get in trouble for things they say; like the one who said he was against abortion but it's legal, in a lecture about how personal morals and the law don't always match.

Lets not gloss over the fact that the article is quite biased to the hard left.

Only in Oakland?

I guess the thread about the arrested "protesters" in Portland doesn't exist.  The Portland riots went on for at least 4 nights.

LA started out as a peaceful protest but turned into a riot as the sun went down.

In Indianapolis, the "protesters" shouted "kill the police" and threw rocks at the police.

There were several others.

You really need to pay attention to the news more often and NO, Clinton News Network isn't real news.

Umm, that quote is exactly what you said.

The show in question is result of Jeremy Clarkson being fired  from the BBC for punching a producer over not having some type of food provided, during filming.  The other 2 left as well, out of "sympathy".  The BBC show Top Gear was well known for its racist and homophobic comments, though almost always by Clarkson.    Until he punched the producer, the BBC protected Clarkson from screams of racism, homophobia and whatnot and refused to punish him or limit his comments.

Amazon hired the trio and made a nearly identical show to Top Gear, but seemingly different enough to avoid copyright issues.

BBC hired a new set of presenters and the show was pretty much a failure due to the main host, who was ousted at the insistance of pretty much everyone working on the show.

There you go, a bit of background history.

@kalayaan:

From your link

'Carrie Fisher's fame as an actress rested on just one role, but it was a role in one of the best known and most successful film franchises in cinema history"

And this is so true

The 2 main reasons for this is;

1. She was manic depressive (old name for it) aka bi-polar.  It made concentrating on doing the job very hard for her.  This lead her to take illegal drugs; mainly cocaine.  She would do cocaine to bring her up and booze to bring her down.

2. She got type-cast as Princess Leia.  This is a curse for actors who perform an iconic role, especially at an early age/beginning of their career.

@alibix:

Vocal Minority? To be honest, the only time I EVER hear about SJWs is when other people on the internet complain about them.

Here's the bit where you claim SJWs only ever exist is in minds of "other people" (read: people who disagree with you) on the internet.

Also, GT.ru is not an echo chamber because we don't censor view points, despite how many SJWs report topics insisting they be deleted.  Everyone can express their viewpoint, unless they start name calling, which over the last few days I have, as the forum admin, ignored when people have called me a troll and other things.

The only thing topics we do not allow are illegal ones, as noted in the forum rules.

Umm, they made their voices heard by not voting.  They told the rest of the electorate to decide for them.

If either vote (US or UK) would have went the other way, the leftists would be telling the losing side to shut up and suck it up.    Also, the losing side would not be rioting aka looting, as we see now.

I hope you realize that both sides made their vioces heard in the campaign leading up to the viote.  As we see, the only thing left is for the losing side to riot/loot.

Princess Leia has left the building.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/11/15/election-records-more-than-half-arrested-anti-trump-protesters-didnt-vote-ore/93877132/

One of the local TV stations looked up the 112 arrested protesters and found that only 25 voted, at least in Oregon.  At the time of the article, there were 17 arrested protesters they hadn't been able to look up yet.

It's just like with Brexit.  The side that lost couldn't be bothered to vote and are now butt hurt.
