Come on with that shit.
Sorry, I'm going to need for you to rework that into something with a discernible point before I can properly respond. In any case, the strongest of the SJWs are very much arguing (in defense of one of their own) that there is nothing wrong with pedophilia as well as arguing that when one of theirs posts an article, no contrary opinions should be heard. If both those things are logical and proper to you, then please ignore this post as we have too little common ground to even argue.

The strongest? On what measure? Have they changed anyone's mind on the subject?

This is a problem though, the tarring of people with needless labels and terrible associations. There are members of the movements who deserve no respect whatsoever, but this sort of thing leads to a place where there will be no respect, and then nothing of value can progress in either direction as people just dig in their heels and rage against each other...

Some truth to that, but there's a glaring difference.

One side is hurling general hate and insults to the entire other side for merely disagreeing with them and their false narratives.
"You disagree with our claim that games promote rape? You're all hatemongering misogynists!! [no explainations given]"

The other side is calling a FEW people out for their GENUINE, SPECIFIC offenses, and calling out those group-wide false claims.
"Anita is wrong about that claim - here's why..."
"No, GG is not misogynistic - here's why..."

The anti crowd hates that and goes even deeper into a rage - then screams for their opponents to stop resisting their narratives.

...a few good youtubers pointed this out nicely:
1. SJW's make terrible, false claim
2. The group they targeted resists that claim
3. The original SJW's use that resistance to show others they're actually 'victims' and 'targets of abuse'.

Those in the middle want to take the default action which is where SJW's and feminists get their most power... give the screamers what they want so they'll shut up. They'll even forcibly shut down the sensible resisters because it's far easier than dealing with the ear-rending screaming and wailing that'll come from the SJW side, AND we naturally want to protect the 'innocent' and punish the 'guilty'. They know this and exploit it to the fullest.

Needless labels? Social Justice Warrior is a title created and adopted by the militant, authoritarian far left progressives. These are some of the core anti-GamerGate personalities who are now supporting pedophilia; are we supposed to ignore that, or accept that they were legitimate before and will be again but we should all just ignore their current support of pedophilia?

They're not. Not even close. Might want to look up that whole #notyourshield thing...

Again, not even close. Deliberate projection to try and take the correct label off the offender and stick it onto the person pointing it out. (Where the hell did you even come up with "assaulted by feminists most of his life" from anyway? Holy shit... that's brazen bullshit! But, hey, slander is no new territory for Anandtech SJW's.)

Here's a weird concept for you (that goes against your doctrine...) Pointing out someone's offenses does not mean you're a 'victim'.

One chooses to consider themselves a victim to gain sympathy, extra compassion, and gifts (tangible or otherwise.) This is why the femi-SJW crowd love, love, LOVE to consider themselves 'victims' at every possible opportunity. A victim gets patted on the head and given a lollipop while the white knights suit up to go kick the 'offenders' ass for her. Even if the truth is he hadn't done anything at all, she kicked him in the shins, then cried that she was a victim to have him re-punished by "the system". Pretty sweet deal for her.

Haha, yes. Clearly the guy who has at various times in this thread said that feminists are oppressing him through the police and the courts, how feminists are oppressing him like Orwell's thought police, how feminists at work were conspiring against him so he had to record himself, etc, totally doesn't view himself as a victim.

Feminists are everywhere trying to destroy you, but it's not that you're insane and it's not that you've convinced yourself that you're a victim, it's all really happening.

GG seems to have picked up some interesting free-trade perspectives.
I found that interesting as well, but I see the connection. The more power we yield to government, the more free is government to use that power as it wishes, not as originally intended. A YouTube video of, say, Anita Sarkeesian saying stupid things, annotated with comments, one day might well land one in prison for copyright infringement and IP theft. Whenever we have the confluence of a great power being handed to the UN and that body inviting authoritarian progressive radicals being invited to address them, we know we have the combination of common will being empowered with the potential power to enforce that common vision.

Hell, we even believe in upholding Bahar Mustafa's free speech (she was wrongfully jailed in the UK earlier for starting the #killallwhitemen tag), despite despising everything the twit stands for.

Heh... the SJW's call for their detractors to be silenced and punished.

Gamergaters are calling for their detractors to be freed.

Somewhat critical difference in human qualities, eh? :cool:

Yep. Everybody supports speech that agrees with them. The test is whether we support free speech when it offends us. I am old enough to remember when the left led at this.

"It's always hilarious to hear SJW used as an insult. "Social justice warrior" is the basic plot of most '80s action shows and cartoons. Arriving in places and fighting against discrimination? The A-Team were social justice warriors. It's practically a synonym for Knight Rider. Insulting someone for respecting other people is like insulting them for masturbating -- the fact you don't do it has way more to do with why you're so upset all the time."

And of course, hate speech is simply speech you hate.

I might tend to agree except that those now styling themselves as SJWs are fighting against such protections for individuals and for legally mandated group think. They have zero respect for people, only respect for groups, which is why a transwoman not toeing the official line is vicisciously attacked by those very people demanding we respect transgendered people as a group. Freedom to think exactly as you are told to think isn't generally considered freedom outside of China and North Korea.

I don't recall the A-Team showing up to make sure you did not have to hear dissenting points of view. I don't recall Knight Rider protesting and threatening violence to prevent Republicans from speaking on college campuses. Perhaps you could hook a brother up with some links?

EDIT Also, you are ignoring the 600 lb pedibear in the room, their support for pedophilia, in favor of relating them to 80s action heroes. Que pass bro?

WP, you're underselling it. SJWs, and whatever other labels you're going to lay on people, aren't just pro-pedophile, they ARE pedophiles. Why else would they take a stance of support, unless it was because they want everyone to just be cool about fucking children? And let's not kid ourselves, all the GG-ers are just full-on rapists who can't wait to force their sad little dicks and vaginas into/onto whatever person happens by that whets their insatiable appetite for tearful hate-sex.

Enough of your politically correct bullshit.

It's almost like you're using sarcasm to justify support for pedophilia. Long as it's the right team, of course.

I get why that is stuck in your craw. It's monstrous and horrible and basically evil. It's unconscionable, right?

Consider that more. Consider the absurdity of it.


I'm a person who calls out the team sports bullshit all the damn time, so I am not here in support of anything. I entered this thread to try and form an understanding of the issue.

All that has been washed away in this thread by those who keep on with the pep rallies for their team. And to what end, I cannot determine.

I'm glad you have enough tar for everyone, but maybe stop and consider being less liberal with it for a bit. Maybe see where things land.

In doing an admittedly small amount of research, it would appear that there are groups dedicated to treatment and support for "non-practicing" pedophiles. I'd say that has some value in the world, but the stance you seem to be taking allows for no such nuances. Or am I mistaken?

(Luke McKinney, Cracked.com)

I think the issue with this quote is that the person is looking at the term "social justice warrior" at face value. It's like he just heard the term, and defined his own sort of definition (i.e. the reference to the A-Team or Michael Knight from Knight Rider). While you could argue that his examples are warriors that dispense justice in a social setting, I've never understood that to be the point of people using that term.

From what I understand, people use it to describe someone with a fervent desire to change society's viewpoint on a specific topic to match their belief. I likened the idea of these people to a sort of modern day Crusader, but you replace religion with the topic du jour. (The topic-at-hand does seem to change often, hence the topic du jour.)

I actually agree with you. I try to stand by my rule of "if you aren't hurting anyone -- including yourself -- then it's none of my business", and as much as I find pedophilia disgusting, just because someone professes to be one doesn't mean they're actually acting on it. So, I'd kinda be going against my own mantra if I made blanket statements like I've seen in here.

Now, to be clear, from the skimming that I've done in here, supposedly this girl did distribute lewd photos of her young niece or something like that. So, if that's true, then I don't think she meets your definition or my definition of "okay".
