Lament of the Mind

Anti-sj is kind of a term that sounds more extreme than it is and probably also doesn’t cover what most anti-sj blogs or people that agree with it are about. 

We’re not anti social justice, or against help and equality or anything like that. We’re anti the aggressive counterproductive “pseudo helping” attitude that sometimes runs rampant on tumblr under the guise of social justice. It just became kind of easy to call the people against that anti-sj and most blogs ran with it.

So for the record, I’m not against social justice itself, I’m against the toxic and stupid tumblr brand. Let’s see if I can find a few examples real quick.

[safety is now discrimination]

Or that time that people running a blog all about how white people food is shit and stupid accidentally made fun of asian food on there and quickly apologized because you can’t insult asian food it was only garbage if it was white.

Or that time death treats were sent towards a innocent tumblr blogger who posted a photo of herself in a kimono because she was “culturally appropriating” despite if being a gift from her host family abroad.

Or that time that there was a news report about the death of a white 9 year old boy over racial bullying and people responded with “cry more white tears”

Or every single time when someone claims to be offended and it’s used as a excuse to bully or threaten everyone who opposes them. And then saying that you are silencing and tone policing if people object to hostile bullying behavior. 

Or absolutely annihilating anyone over something offensive they’ve said in the past and deeming people problematic and trash because god nobody ever makes a mistake or says something wrong ever in their lives, right?

Basically the toxic attitude that isn’t helping anyone and has driven people away from good causes. No room for debate, questioning things isn’t allowed. Hiding behind social justice as a shield of immunity in general and abusing that. Seeking problems behind everything and using it as an excuse for abuse, aggression, restricting and bullying.

That is what I am against.

THIS. SO MUCH, THIS.

I can’t even tell you how many people I have unfollowed because they literelly act butthurt over everything and use it as a means of harassment to anyone that doesn’t understand or agree with them.

To avoid going on a rant that will potentially offend someone (rolls eyes) all I’m going to say is the people that do this shit act like no one is considering them or the group they think they’re standing up for; perhaps they should flip that perspective around and think about how the person they’re about to attack (for probably no good reason) does not have your life experiences and may know absolutely nothing about your “triggers” and it DOES NOT give you the right to hurl insults and accuse them of ignorance or discrimination.

Consider everyone. Even the people you disagree with. Aggressively jumping down someone’s throat because they used the wrong term to define someone that’s transgender or ethnically different from them is not going to enlighten them, it’s just going to make them too afraid to ever talk to another transgender or (insert ethnicity here) person ever again.

I’m not even going to try to add this. My feelings on the overactive SJW tumblr bullshit in a nutshell, folks.

(Just going to say though, some of you out there do legitimate good things to help actual social justice and you are wonderful people. This doesn’t apply to you folks, and keep up the good work.)
