Being anti social justice warrior is a catalyst for bullying behavior

RE: Being anti social justice warrior is a catalyst for bullying behavior
I guess what I'm saying is that all these people crying about how PC culture is ruining free speech seem to misunderstand that maybe there's actual reasons for our language to change.

Much as I love George Carlin, while I understand his point about "shell shock" vs "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder", it wasn't about people becoming more PC or hiding behind softened language. It was about better defining a problem that people suffer from regardless of war experience. Sometimes that's what is actually happening when people cry about things becoming more PC. And then those same processes get equated with the kind of petty teenage bullshit you see on tumblr, and they're not the same at all.

Of course, I expect in that first scenario that Person B would be nice and assume positive intent on the part of Person A, regardless of ignorance.

Always best to start a conversation about that stuff in a friendly manner.

I can hear all the angsty teens crying out about your ageism as we speak, Summer.  Wink
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Not all the people whining on tumblr are teenagers. They merely have the emotional maturity of one.

OP, due to the relative anonymity, the internet itself is the catalyst for bully behavior, not anti-SJW or SJW. Shit, just take a look at some of the behavior here. Given the right subject and people, almost anyone can become a bully, myself included. 

Now, piss off.
But you're missing the relevance that the anti sjw phenomenon has on culture. It's not just that people use offensive words, that's actually not the issue. It's the ignorance behind these things that's exacerbated by these anti sjw movements. There's insensitivity to minority issues, like the real fact that cops get killed by police, yet people dismiss black lives matter, totally missing the point of the movement? People dismiss gender issues when transgender people are real whether you want them to be or not? Or the discrimination I've seen towards me and other people on the autism spectrum, I get mocked when I ask people not to use the word "autism" as an insult, which is used as a way to say someone is socially awkward or embarrassing. It's hurtful, and no I will not piss off of my own thread. You can't just tell someone to piss off, I could tell you to piss off but would you really piss off? No, so idk why you think I would. Double standard, friend.

bold mine

You're right, I am. Because I refuse to give them any credibility where credibility is not due. If an anti SJW has a valid point I'll consider it. If they are going for a reaction (which most are on the net, ?anti SJW trolls?) then why would I even need to respond? (other than to make fun of them) When you get angry because they are not being sensitive enough for your tastes, all you're doing is giving them power. So, if you want to react (or over react) to them, be my guest. But don't expect me to jump on the band wagon, especially on the internet. If I think it needs to be addressed by me, in my real life situation, then I'll address it as I see fit. 

BTW, "now piss off" was both bait and a joke. I see that you took the bait and missed the joke.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
