A lot of the "weirder" social justice blogs are trolls trying to discredit the social justice movement, for what it's worth.

ALL-PRO SEXMAN posted:I hear a lot of people saying this but I've never seen any actual proof. Then again I don't spend any time whatsoever reading crazy people's tumblr pages so I doubt if I could tell a troll from a genuine whackjob. "Riley," one of the louder and bigger nuts (also responsible for The Arkh Project, a Kickstarter scam that was supposed to be a JRPG with the entire cast being transgendered POCs who enslaved cis white people), frequently calls people niggers on Livejournal and says a lot of open racist stuff on there, if I remember correctly. The bulk of the other really really crazy people on Tumblr are just pretty obvious Poes, like the autistic Korean flying dog in a white girl's body and whatnot.

on the left posted:There are plenty of weeaboos with social justice blogs on tumblr that think Imperial Japan did nothing wrong. Getting angry at someone for drawing an anime slightly too light-skinned and promoting a "game" that treats black trans people enslaving whites as a good thing, then going around calling black people dumb niggers and repeating Stormfront talking points on a different website, takes an astounding amount of cognitive dissonance if it's not a troll. e: god no I'm not saying to judge trans people based on them, I'm using them as an example of crazy right-wingers trying to disrupt the social justice movement. Trans people and 90% of social justice people are cool.

evilweasel posted:I don't think anyone should give any credence to claims that "oh everyone on our side who is bad is actually just a plant from the opposition". I'm not saying literally everyone who is a crazy SJ person is a plant, just that there's trolls among them, and my guesstimate is that there's more trolls loudly saying stupid and horrible poo poo than genuine idiots doing so. Also, a lot of such crazy SJ blogs legitimately do push slightly reworded right-wing views (the obsession with cultural appropriation, in many cases, has the logical conclusion of society being entirely separated along racial/cultural lines- the exact thing that a lot of neo-Nazis want) so it's a fairly believable assertion.

Hodgepodge posted:When I've dealt with "cultural appropriation," it has tended to be along the lines of white people stealing artwork from native people, then telling them that a bunch of white dudes know more about their culture than they do. The stuff I'm talking about is when people say things like "learning a new language is cultural appropriation" or "watching movies made by non-white people is cultural appropriation" or "eating at a Chinese restaurant is cultural appropriation." There's sane examples of it, and they're not what I'm talking about.

Hodgepodge posted:So, they basically don't know anything about the concept but its name? No, they're using the concept as a way to push lefties towards radical right-wing ideas. I imagine they understand it just fine and are just being malicious. e: also jesus gently caress, how about let people decide for themselves whether SRS is right for them instead of giving it a blanket yes or no? It helps some people and doesn't help others.
