It's about people being sick of being attacked for what they enjoy, and people getting sick of feeling marginalized when they attack people for what they enjoy. It's two sides playing victim and painting the other side as bullies and oppressors. This is the spark that's ignited all the resentment from both sides, the social justice warriors versus the people who don't give a poo poo about social justice, it seems--which is Everybody Else. That's where #notyourshield came from, that's the crux of all of this. People are sick of being attacked, and people who are attacking them are sick of feeling marginalized or downtrodden. Until a meaningful--I stress meaningful--dialog is brokered, this bickering will never end. Neither side can win. I doubt that meaningful dialog can be achieved on the internet. It's hard enough to get heated combatants to calm the gently caress down in the real world where human lives are at stake. But on the internet it's incredibly easy to stir poo poo up and the consequences for doing so are comparatively insignificant.
