Gantolandon posted:No. My argument is that this statement is not falsifiable and implies that everyone disagreeing with it is automatically wrong. Which is considered a lovely way to discuss anything. The non-falsifiable arguments used by SJW aren't terrible because they lead to no discussion. They're terrible because they impose the zaniness of tumblr on all the subaltern they supposedly represent and subsequently inspire toxic and delusional thinking that has more in common with a cult than a social justice movement. It's kind of a pain because you can end up being associated with people who question your minority status if you express disagreement. Keep in mind these people are so delusional that they think a derisive term for a particular brand of internet activism is the same an established term that inherently implies violence and has a storied history of things like mobs backed by the state setting activists on fire. That in itself is indicative of how eager this community has been to misappropriate the terminology for its own ends, 'privilege' means something completely different now that a bunch of immature social retards got a hold of it. Now it's just like the Pat Boone version of "Tutti Frutti": completely stolen and misappropriated to be more accessible to more people than Little Richards version and nowhere near as good as a result. Granted, little Richard rightfully gets the credit for the song these days but that hinged on people calling out the fact that the Boone stolen in the first place. Pre-emptively shutting down that sort of criticism is nothing more than a way to protect the Pat Boone version of "privilege" and since I think the term can be useful I'll be calling out the shitheads who misappropriated it until it means something again. Kristov posted:You may have stumbled into a good point here. In some ways the goalposts have shifted to the point where you have to belittle imaginary minorites (rather than, y'know, real ones like black people or jewish people) in order to stroke that hate boner. This is a good example of what I'm talking about, the viewpoint that criticism can only be drawn by hate. This is the same tactic that cults and domestic a users use to discourage people from listening to outside criticism. And let's be clear here, you're associating hatred with those making fun of obvious lunatics in a specific internet community, you're not talking the loving klan or Clive Bundy or the Republican Party here, you're talking about people who make fun of insane narcissists who think their dragon dildo makes them a oppressed minority. Those people are lunatics that are out of the ordinary even to the kind of people who buy dragon dildoes. Bifner McDoogle fucked around with this message at 15:25 on Jun 27, 2014 |
