So did Atheism + bite the dust?

[TheMessiah]

In theory, Social Justice sounds good. I was once an advocate for it, but as soon as I began to voice an opposing argument, I was verbally harassed, my personal details were threatened and ridiculed. From then on I learnt that Social Justice Warriors are vile; they have poisioned Feminism and tried to do the same for Gaming and Atheism.

These Social Justice Warriors, that clam to campaign for justice, often mis-construct words such as Feminism, Misogyny, etc and they will in any way possible try to silence opposition. Atheism + is an example, look at that link the previous user cited, it showed how they dealt with other Atheists who tried to offer an alternative view.

Read this link for proof: http://www.skepticink.com/avant-garde/20...-atheists/

- Are you saying you don't care for social justice? When there's two sides fighting opposite causes likely there will be hate and disagreement. However, I doubt those people have really poisoned atheism and feminism and gaming, how many people in every of those communities agrees with such hardcore positions?

--> I think insulting people who don't agree with you is usually not wise if you want to get more support. If you ask me, atheists have more reasons, as skeptics, to be pro-social justice - Religion in particular is used and has been used to deny social justice and reinforce oppression to specific groups of people. "It is not natural to be gay", "God says women should be put in their place", "Rich people are gifted by god and poor people are lazy", etc. Being a skeptic means you probably will not believe people who bring bullshit excuses to oppress other groups

- I am saying that Social Justice Warriors are quite toxic, not Social Justice in itself. Social Justice Warriors claim to be morally superior and claim to fight for Social Justice, yet they harass people who disagree because they believe the ends justify the means. However awful those means may be.

The link Cato gave should summarize the facts and how intolerant they are. They completely ridiculed other Atheists who attempted to even merely post a contrasting argument. They would simply not tolerate it.

These people were willing to threaten people's jobs just because they disagreed with them, despised people based on their age/colour/race and bullied people. This is not Social Justice, but the warriors who have become identified with it.

Also, in case you missed my edit, here is a video explaining Social Justice Warriors and how far they will go with threats (second video is about gaming):
