social justice

[lasse]

did you check your privilege today /v/?

[Kooh]

I don't get any of this. I don't get what they fight for or why I'm a cis scum. It's not my fault I like women.

the most ironic thing about the social justice crusaders that i've encountered is that most of them are actually white and (???)privileged(???) themselves, and thus spend most of their time getting offended on other peoples behalf. and if they're not, it's usually a case of "wah i don't enjoy the challenges in my life due to the labels i was born into, i'm going to whine about a general category of people who i perceive to have it easier than i do!" — and i think the whole "die cis scum" shit is the most ridiculous and extreme example of this.

and that's another thing — labels. i don't know if i just run into weird people, but i'm at the point now where sometimes i'll meet a new person and they'll tell me their sexual preference (usually "pansexual", because that's the new cool thing these days) not far after telling me their name, which is totally inappropriate and not something i care about hearing. this obsession with labels is one of the most irritating things to me about people these days. there are so many different types of people in the world and so many wonderful types of characters to be found among mankind. do you really have to put each one of them in a neat little box? does there really have to be 10-20 labels for every human being?

the other big thing that bothers me about them is that they don't actually do anything. they blog about these problems as if they're the next generation, changing the world with elite electronic diplomacy, throwing around heavy words like "rights" and "privileges", but they're not actually effectively solving any problems. in a lot of ways, it feels like they're generating more hate, because the only thing they've ever accomplished is arguing with people they have no respect for on the internet (ie cisgendered privileged white people)

we live in a generation where you can accomplish so many things using the internet. and considering the fact that most of these people live in america, they really have better things to complain about. but they do, and that's all they do. i'm not saying things can't get better than they are, because a better tomorrow is always worth fighting for. i just really don't think this is how people should be fighting for it.

also

although we generally seem to be in agreement about social justice, if anyone has any contradictory opinions or defenses FOR social justice, i'd be totally down to hear them. part of why i opened this thread was because i actually would like to hear both sides of the argument, because i have never once heard a logical perspective in support of social justice and would like to hear one that isn't biased or angry, and isn't on tumblr where everyone is offended by everything.

"The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS; Russian: Содружество Независимых Государств, СНГ, tr. Sodruzhestvo Nezavisimykh Gosudarstv, SNG) is a regional organization whose participating countries are former Soviet Republics, formed during the breakup of the Soviet Union.

The CIS is a loose association of states and in no way comparable to a federation, confederation or supranational union such as the European Union. It is more comparable to the Commonwealth of Nations. Although the CIS has few supranational powers, it is aimed at being more than a purely symbolic organization, nominally possessing coordinating powers in the realm of trade, finance, lawmaking, and security. It has also promoted cooperation on cross-border crime prevention. Some of the members of the CIS have established the Eurasian Economic Community with the aim of creating a full-fledged common market."

Yeah, as a fellow faggot myself, I tend to feel like all these social justice assholes are really nothing more than a ploy to purposely make the LGBT community as a whole look like a big pile of ass. These blogs seem to be more interested in picking apart the abbreviation and fight with other queerfolk in some sort of imaginary contest of "who's more oppressed" when we're all equally given the shaft by who ever is in power, which to me is another conspiracy theory on how this all just seems like a bad ploy to me as all this queer infighting doesn't really exist anywhere BUT tumblr.

It's ashame that this is the most notable example of transgender people on the internet right now...

[rtil]

seems like these 'die cis scum' people are the equivalent of PETA to vegans and vegetarians. the outspoken unfortunate stereotype that is only true for a very vocal minority does more to damage their cause than to advance it.

[Sheepy]

Yeah.

I honestly have no clue where this particular movement even came to be, they weren't around not only a year ago.

[ZennyPLUS]

Well we are on the internet, crazy shit goes down here.

Relevant, anyone ever heard of the "Arkh Project"? They've been donated thousands of dollars to make a shitty Neverwinter Nights mod and try to pass it off as a game.

Not to mention the obvious scam, the founder of this project has actually been proven to be a big transphobic fuck off of tumblr.

[Sinitron]

nuke tumblr with real nuclear weapons

fallout does the rest, problem solved

[Sheepy]

but then where else will I get my daily dose of ecchi and cat pics

[rtil]

i'm amazed the arkh project isn't dead yet

[Sheepy]

I honestly thought it was myself until I checked up on it just now. People really just got tired of making fun of it but that's it.

Another thing that was short lived however was that there was this interest in "transethnicism" where people would be all: "I... I just don't feel white... I've always felt Korean..." for example.

This was obviously started by a bunch of jokers I bet, but unfortunately people took this on seriously and started comparing it to transgenderism, so now your gender identity was now being compared to some asshole's racism. I'm at least glad that thing died out before it could get too much attention, as this would ALSO not fair well for people like me in world view (They've always making fun of trannies on TV all the freaking time, lets not give them a reason too while they're at it, especially false ones). Maybe I should just write a book chronicling the AIDS that infect tumblr on a daily basis.

[Sinitron]

seriously one nuke for every individual tumblr user would solve all the world's problems

[rtil]

if by solving the worlds problems = everyone dead, then yes it would

[Sheepy]
