There are absolutely no spoilers to the movie in this video.

These guys probably live right down the street from you, JSF.

Do Right, Be Right. :)



Well that was 15:11 of my life I'll never get back.

Social Justice Warrior

A person who uses the fight for civil rights as an excuse to be rude, condescending, and sometimes violent for the purpose of relieving their frustrations or validating their sense of unwarranted moral superiority. The behaviors of Social justice warriors usually have a negative impact on the civil rights movement, turning away potential allies and fueling the resurgence of bigoted groups that scoop up people who have been burned or turned off by social justice warriors.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

So then, in accordance with ecg, anybody who actually and honestly supports Civil Rights is for Social Injustice?

Hey guys, are your brains shaped like pretzels? Cause your logic is sure twisted out of shape. Just because you define something a particular way does not mean that is the only way it can be defined, nor that I have to agree with you. A person who fights for social justice does so for everyone's civil rights, even those people that hate them for doing so. Yes, there are extremists on both sides that would like to shut down the other's opinion, but they do not define the whole of either side of the argument.

If you call for a boycott of anything because you say it is controlled by SJWs, aren't you as guilty as those you condemn?

Had to share something I just saw on Twitter.

What's the opposite of a Social Justice Warrior?

A Status Quosader.

That would assume a brain structure

I think the whole SJW hate is just another offshoot of the "I don't wanna have ta be politically correct" crowd.

While I agree that sometimes people are too quick to take offence these days (although most of the "offence" articles are just clickbait) I've never understood the people who sit around whining for their right to insult strangers and groups of people with antiquated terminology. It's like learning new adjectives is painfully abhorrent. What happened in Jr High that they had to vow to never update their behaviors or learn new facts??

At least some of us graduated Jr. High.

Ha!

I think it's equally valid (and definitely not mutually exclusive) to say that the opposite of a Social Justice Warrior is... a Social Justice Warrior! Similar approach, similar tactics, just fighting for the rights of different people.

Same tricks, different agenda... and if you feel that others don't deserve an enhancement of their rights, then, yes, Status Quosader - if not Status Degrader - indeed.

Sorry about that Whozit.

Damn. You've already squandered about 15% of your life you took back by boycotting this movie. My bad.
