adios 717 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 What's your position on the various Social Justice Warrior issues? I'm usually very liberal is support of them, in that I think they do more good than harm and we're going through a period of adjustment (which will settle somewhere in the middle). But today I read a definition of transracial which even I can't support. Basically, it's to identify as a different race to the one you were born as. I can understand people being justifiably very offended by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5220 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Is the transracial bit coming from that woman who was some form of black rights activist only to be exposed as being white? And is now claiming she's transracial and actually is black? I don't get what the fuss is about tbh, it's an entirely natural extension of the same lines of thought that came before it. As for SJWs in general, it's a massive topic I think they've done a lot of good, have overextended themselves in a bid to retain relevance, and are now damaging their own cause by othering people they should be uniting with. It's also a huge attraction in a general sense to virtue signalling politicians and other assorted fuckwits. Like church and religion back in the day.

I was aware of her, but not that statement. And apparently, it's a thing now. I don't think it's a natural extension at all. People can genetically be LBGTQXYZ, you can't suddenly be black because you feel like it (even if genetically we all are a tiny bit). It's potentially offensive for some white privilege cunt to suddenly think he's a minority and all the shite that goes with that. Transparent kind of touched on that issue with transgender people last season, but I don't think it's remotely the same thing. My apologies for the use of gender-discriminatory language.

Hang on, are we saying that the 50+ genders they've come up with are grounded in scientific fact? That'd be news to me but if a non-social science research has proven it then fair enough I guess.

adios 717 Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Not to my knowledge, but it's clearly down to brain chemistry, and seems harmless to me. Had no idea there were anywhere close to 50 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5220 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) Well, that's kind of my point. She claims to have been raised black or something. Who are we to say that, in a climate where social justice considers social conditioning to be the paramount driver of behaviour in individuals, that her experience is not a legitimate 'black' lifestyle? I'm not seriously arguing this btw, but this is definitely one of the slippery slope areas of modern life. Consider that by claiming to be transblack, she moves to the pinnacle of the SJW hierarchy in terms of victim points. She'd be female, black and trans. AND unfairly maligned by a world that claims to be universally inclusive and yet still doesn't recognise her legitimacy. In short, these people are fruitloops.

adios 717 Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Can you link to all the types? I'm too lazy to do more than a couple searches. I think LGBTQ is all fine, as is general gender ambiguity. Interested in the whole breakdown though. I'm hoping it's a small percentage of these guys that are total fruit-loops.

Why do you refer to "SJW"'s as if they are an organised group Rayvin? You say it as if they're a political party or a company. What is their cause? Who are they? Its a fucking stupid term iyam.

I'm moving house atm with no internet connection and am responding through my phone. Will try tomorrow to find something that lists them. I also wanna stress I don't think they're all fruitloops, and moreover agree on what most people consider to be the normal gender groupings (LGBTQ), I just think they've gone off the deep end largely in a bid to outdo each other. Victim status is quite literally a commodity to these people. EDIT - yeah that link is probs a good starting point. I don't claim to be well informed in truth, I've just heard such people make more of the fact that the number exceeds 50.

What defines a SJW? Am I one? I care about various rights and causes and whatnot? "they" came up with the term, again, who is they? And while we're on, virtue signalling?

Rayvin 5220 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Virtue signalling is where you make a big song and dance about certain virtues you have, for the primary purpose of looking good. So a good example of this was when everyone changed their Facebook avatars to French colours in solidarity with France after the Charlie Hebdo attack. Now, you could argue that the French people in general may have been heartened by this, but actually the only people who see that you've done it are your friends and family. Thus, you are signalling your virtue to them at very little personal cost. Any obvious act of virtue would be considered signalling I suppose, but it's mainly used in this sense to denote people who don't really care and are simply in it to look good. Much like people who went to church 20 years ago - often to demonstrate their 'godliness to other people. As for caring about rights and stuff - so do I. But I need evidence and clear demonstrations of cause and effect. I also need people to be open to actual, real solutions (rather than window dressing). Hence a lack of belief in any contemporary manifestation of the patriarchy for one thing. You do have people who care about social justice who are capable of these things. But the ones who aren't tend to be the ones who steal the headlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 The right would say that we're all united as bleeding-heart, namby-pamby, so-called-accountants and thinking we're all unique special snowflakes.
