Do you think it would be fair to distill your objection down to the notion that the tolerant should tolerate intolerance?
Quote:I think it's a good representation of their inability to be self aware. By treating people the way they treated her and others like her they manifest the things they generally claim to stand against. Intolerance, and hatefulness.As far as I can tell..an outspoken advocate for victims became an apologist for victimizers..and you, in this, feel that there is some sort of intolerance and hatefulness in her previous fanbase turning on her?
Quote:In my opinion it's their blind tribalism, and their extreme us vs them mentality that undermines them and creates the problems that are so easily honed in on by the right. It's like that old meme with the bicyclist jamming a rod into his own spokes.Do you think that advocates of social justice are the ones who create the us v them group dynamics when dealing with bigots whose platform is the literal embodiment of precisely that? The whole point of social justice is an attempt to influence society and law so that everyone is "us"....but..obviously, the bigots aint havin that...so..what is there to be done, in that case...and does the exclusion of bigots and bigotry from a society or culture of equality actually represent meaningful hypocrisy....or have we found another talking point that collapses in on itself as soon as it;s explored?
Quote:I'd say it's a mongoose/viper deal. The alt right/regressive left are tied to one another, it's just the nature of the beast right now.
Are we gonna hit all the boxes....the regressive left, now? I think that the terms "sjw culture" and "pc culture" as used by their detractors are directly tied to the right..but not tethered in any other way to reality or a coherent objection to social justice or political correctness. It's real easy, don't call people the n word, and maybe allow for others all the rights and privileges one claims for themselves. To object to a pc culture or an sjw culture....apart from intentional mis-characterizations of either position....is to object to -that-. This is, ofc, -exactly- what the people who use either term to discredit either position object to.....as much as they'd like to babble about a laundry list of other things and grievances.
Can you tell me what's regressive about the actual position of social justice...or political correctness? Do you object to either position in actuality, or a (literally) cartoonish mischaracterization fed to you -by- the right and alt right?

-in elaboration, I wonder what sense it would make to refer to "the problems of marital culture", by reference to The Real Housewives.
I'm trying to figure out what "sp" is in context.
Enlighten me?
As Bob explained, south park. Twice now just in this thread we've seen south park referenced as conceptual proof that the sjw problem exists. In one of those cases, a person is pretty convinced that they totally came up with the same objections on their own. This, despite having their objections informed by that very show and it's explicit (and explicitly hilarious) satirical take on what the shows vehemently anti-liberal creators see as liberalism.
Let that sink in........
