Uh, what?

People making obviously fake, or hard-to-believe, claims about a thing do not necessarily discredit it. Rachel Dolezal claimed to be black, but this did not discredit the idea of blackness. Why this happened for PTSD is due ultimately to the hatred most of America has for the concept of mental illness and the mentally unwell, and the lingering suspicion that those ideas are fake. "SJWs" had nothing to do with it.

Maybe I didn't pay enough attention to the Dolezal thing (because it's really, really stupid) but have people been using it to say that all black people are faking it?

also, the common perception of homosexuality hasn't become any whiter since the 90s and DOMA, you idiot.

If gay rights campaigns haven't been focused on making the public perception of homosexuality as white, normal, and unthreatening as possible, then why do self-described social justice activists keep writing articles complaining about exactly that?

Conservatives have definitely been using it to say that anti-racism activists are hypocrites.

Cause you seem to have a real fixation with her specifically as opposed to all the other people we've mentioned.

Like is she your waifu or something?

She is either somewhat hypocritical or rather short sighted if she genuinely believes that the hundreds of thousands of dollars she received was all because her videos are positively fascinating and not related to a wider desire for social justice, and thus she is entirely unobligated to further that desire with the funding she acquired.

Her backers are just bad at spending, she doesn't need more money to make videos and if you want to help women out then there are way better places to spend your money. You don't have want to do that but I dunno why you'd give her money otherwise.

so now she's a hypocrite because you have scanned her mind and you believe that she thinks that all of the people who backed her did so because they sincerely want her project to succeed

and her backers are also hypocrites for giving their disposable income to a person you don't like doing a project you don't agree with instead of UNICEF

Probably because they are/were, but they did not control this process nor necessarily drive it. And as a member of the fag community, suck my dick.

People who mock trigger warnings and always claim to be Genuinely Concerned about actual bigotry and injustice yet when called out, but in practice are usually not supporting those groups at all. Same as people complaining about PC in their parents generation. It's just getting mad at people telling you that you are a jerk instead of listening to them.
