Radical opinion - SJWs are really bad, but the reactionaries are just as bad.

@vriska The worst thing of internet culture is that the lack of consequences also causes a severe lack of moderation, and people raised on the internet are often absolutely incapable of dealing with opinions they don't like. Those two are the best examples of the trend.

@vriska So, are these "SJW's" an Internet phenomenon? I read about such behavior happening on social media and such, but I don't see it happening in the real world.

@m14brony There are some IRL, but they're rare, as it's way harder to brainwash and emotionally extort people in real life without anyone calling you out.

@nerthos I see. As I suspected, these "SJW's" are an overblown internet phenomenon. Online prestige is, in a good deal of cases, inversely proportional to real-life prestige.

@m14brony Well, the main difference is that you can't, in real life, basically say that anyone who doesn't agree with you is a monster and a rapist and many other things, and tell them they should die and have no place in the "new world order". You'll get beaten up or sent to a therapist on a court order. Online, the only thing that happens is that people send angry messages at you and block you.

@nerthos True. The real world, in spite of its problems, can serve to keep a rough check on sociopathic, manchild, etc. behavior. I am more obliged to take someone into, say, identity politics seriously in a face-to-face encounter (in spite of the theoretical shortcomings of such a thing) than some rabid, caricatured "SJW" type whose presence is largely nonexistent outside of cyberspace.

@m14brony The only reason they're an issue is that they have an easy time brainwashing teenagers with self steem issues. People who would solve their issues over time and have no issues later in life. Instead they get caught up in this kind of thing and alienate themselves from everything, destroy their social circles, and make really bad life choices.

@nerthos These so-called SJW's are just a more recent example of a generalized phenomenon (the Online Disinhibition Effect). They are following on the footsteps of trolls, Internet tough guys, the type of furries that makes that whole fandom look bad, attention whores, the types of brownies that make the whole fandom look bad, etc.

@m14brony I know, but unlike trolling or ruining a fandom, they're ruining real issues. Making people not care or outright go against certain groups just out of spite.

@nerthos That's an inevitable consequence of excessive reliance on internet forums and such. Realistically, there isn't any feasible way to make "SJW's" and other such types of people stop what they are doing.

@m14brony Well, you can force them to go to therapists.
Monday, 07-Mar-16 03:31:26 UTC from web-
@nerthos Assuming you could magically "dox" all of them and somehow get them sent to a therapist.
Monday, 07-Mar-16 05:31:37 UTC from web-
@m14brony Most of them are pretty easy to locate.
