>communist inflicts tedious edits lecturing on how problematic mocking SJWs is

Just disassociate this place from imageboards. I think Something Awful, Tv Tropes, or Spacebattles would be a more fitting patrons for the actual userbase of this wiki at this point.

And I think random IPs should disassociate themselves from here if they can't handle this thing called "nuance". Guess which one of us is going to get what they want, red-baiter. --Newerfag (talk) 21:20, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Found the binary brainlet.

"This article doesn't mock them hard enough, it had to be written by communists" is the exact kinda galaxy brain-level analysis that warrants these additions in the first place. --2600:1700:19C0:2760:545F:D59B:AEBA:D054 02:10, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

• • While the whole "On the Other Hand" makes a few good points, it has an air of trying to whitewash the left, SJW's and pandering to them. I say cut that whole section. User:Flufflion.

That "heterosexual white men" lines, and the lines about LGBT and women being part of the population seem pretty indicative there's a leftist agenda in this section.

You know what's special about people who hate SJW's? They do the exact same things without realizing it. You're so determined to seeing what's wrong that you have no clue on what's really neutral and what isn't, and if you see a 'leftist agenda' in a brief summary of why 1950's writers didn't include women as a leading character then you really need to take a step back. Likewise getting triggered at the words "heterosexual white men" while ignoring how they were used (pointing out that there are more people demanding for other stories) is the same as some SJW immediately writing you off just because you said words they didn't like. -- Triacom (talk) 11:19, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

I absolutely am left-leaning, and that shows in all my edits to an extent. That said, my biased ass thinks that Triacom has an excellent point. This section has managed to stay relatively neutral with minimal skub all things considered. They provide a good analysis without being red army commie propaganda, even with the addition of praiseworthy female and LGBTQ+ representation. -- Kracked Mynd (talk) 17:14, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

I find it sooooo funny that acknowledging what valid points SJWs have in order to point out how they get it wrong is somehow "biased". So many antiSJWs crow about debate when properly addressing and analyzing opposing arguments are the most basic facets of any debate remotely worth it's salt. --72.89.210.198 00:55, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

Vro, if just stating facts and disagreeing were a problem, the entire rest of the fucking page wouldn't exist. The section exists as an analysis of things that they "get right," in theory if not in practice, and how these not-extreme examples relate to /tg/. If you're super upset about this, you might consider just leaving it alone and forget about it (remember, you are just on an article on a website about an imageboard about playing with toy soldiers). -- Kracked Mynd (talk) 01:37, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

I'm not even upset, I was just literally agreeing with you both. You may or may not be mistaking me for another anon. --72.89.210.198 01:56, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

I find that very likely. Sorry for causing any offense. Either way, you might consider making an account, this is one of the reasons it's so useful. -- Kracked Mynd (talk) 03:40, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

Actually have one, just 2lazy2log lul --72.89.210.198 10:10, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

• • How many people missed the part where I said "it has a few good points"? Also, User:Kracked Mynd, the fact that you give Triacom's rebuttal the stamp of approval having admitted to having a left-wing bias makes the implications look stronger. I didn't think it needed to be said that people who aren't heterosexual white men want to see themselves portrayed, because to me it's obvious that people of all types want to see someone like them depicted and portrayed positively. The term "heterosexual white men" gets thrown around too much in a pejorative way these days (I am not a white person, I'm mixed but would be considered a person of color). I'm also not sure this article addresses the problem of those among SJW's who champion tolerance and inclusive then proceeded to practice what some call "reverse discrimination" and pushing the pendulum the other way to demonize majority groups. I suspected a leftist agenda because it appeared to be a case of "they wanted to say more, but they kept it minimal." While there have been problems in media from before the 1950's, there have also been commendable films, for examples films with strong female characters or even leads before the 1950's - including the films Mildred Pierce (1945), Gone with the Wind (1939) and Queen Christina (1933). After considering what you said, I can see the point of the "On the Other Hand" section, I would still like the points I raised in this paragraph to be acknowledged please, can we do that? User:Flufflion.

Nobody missed that, just like how they didn't miss the fact that you deleted it anyway. Kracked Mynd wasn't the person who made the article so I've got no clue why you think there's implications from them there, and if that was obvious then it wouldn't needed to be stated. It's written there right now because you always come across people who write off anything that doesn't have a heterosexual white man in the leading role as 'virtue signaling' or 'jumping on a bandwagon' or 'having a SJW agenda', instead of thinking for a second that there might've been any other reason. It's the exact same thing the extreme-SJW's do to the stuff they don't like, and while yes the term "heterosexual white men" or better yet, "cis white male" is often used in a pejorative way, the context it's used in that section is certainly not. I'd also expect anyone reading this section to have thicker skin and be able to handle a phrase like 'heterosexual white men' given how often this wiki uses the word "faggot" (either directly, or in a portmanteau). The points you raise here (specifically about the films) also don't paint a good picture of what the time period that we're talking about was like and come across as more of an excuse. Were there films that you describe? Yes, were they in the vast minority? Fuck yeah they were, trying to use those to excuse the time period and/or what happened is no different than throwing in a token black character to appeal to a specific demographic, or to try and say your movie's politically correct, or if we're going to a more extreme example: "Hitler created a lot of jobs."

If you want to add onto the negatives of what SJW's are like and try to do, I doubt anyone would complain, but don't try to excuse the points the "On the Other Hand" section brings up, since it's important to explain why they exist and if/how they might have a point (while also how they commonly fuck up their points/message). -- Triacom (talk) 02:18, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

The bulk of the article already covers that subject, Triacom. And if one cannot use "heterosexual white men" as a purely descriptive term without making the people it describes upset, how else are we supposed to refer to them short of something like "heterosexual males of Caucasian descent" or something equally obtuse? I would like to say more about my conjectures about the origins of the phenomenon and how the most fanatical voices within it became the loudest (as they are wont to do in nearly any group of people), but I choose not to because they are unprovable and because I lack the sociological expertise needed to test it myself. But to make a long story short, what you assume to be obvious is anything but that to the majority of people who actually make popular media. --Newerfag (talk) 16:18, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

SJW and /pol/ = /pol/ar opposites of the same thing.

SJW's tend to get associated with the left for a reason. While the early set of images added went overboard, I think that we need to be able to say a few things. Some people posting here have said "don't bother polishing a turd." However, someone (or someone's) keep making edits when they see an edition that rubs them the wrong way. True, this isn't a leading SJW board, but neither is it a leftist platform or an Antifa board. We can rightfully take the mickey out of that abhorrent board /pol/, then we should be able to humorously point out the problems with SJW's. So I propose one of several solutions;

• We delete the SJW page altogether if we can't play nice about it.
• We compromise, and add a few of the mentions of SJW's and why they get associated with left-wing politics.
• We edit-lock this page.

Discussing the merits of one of these three solutions is more productive than an edit war or just bending over backwards and letting those posters who want to whitewash their precious leftism get their way. What say you?

The problem there is it implies editors are invested in preserving the reputation of leftism rather than recognizing this isn't the place to go but so in-depth on it (and/or surmising most other people wouldn't care enough). Also implies we haven't been compromising and going with the second option for some time.

In addition, check the edit summaries again - SJWs are relevant by virtue of being pretty much everywhere on the internet (thus we "have" to cover them to some degree, /pol/ is another 4chan board and regularly tries to hijack shit on /tg/ and every other board (hence the gallery being full of 'gb2/pol/' memes. I'll probably look into fixing that shortly). --72.89.208.68 02:12, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Also helps that /pol/ views are mostly just the latest iteration of a particular form of right wing political thought, whereas a SJW can be practically anyone left of center (or of the person using it, hence the reason (I assume) no one cares enough to detangle that particular knot - too many possible schools of thought to cover, and that becomes plausible deniability for outright attack articles (e.g. the 'Feminids' bullshit someone tried to sell before). Regardless, I'll think on that a bit more. --72.89.208.68 02:19, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Stop wasting time on polishing a turd. It's a waste of good drinking / role playing time

The WHOLE article is summarized by the last paragraph and that is not reason enough to keep the whole page. It's not relevant to /tg/ and this wiki. There are more important things that need to get done! -- The Awkward Man 14-8-2017. 23:46 UTC+1

I find it amusing that it all happens regarding pages about over-obsessive nuts who think they're better than everyone else and insist on letting the world know. TiamatRoar (talk) 21:55, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

If you haven't noticed, people tend to react to those nuts but becoming nuts themselves. It's like a disease. --Newerfag (talk) 22:16, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

SJW's and the Left

The seems to be some overlap with the /pol/ and SJW targets. From the page for /pol/ "board, nowadays populated by neo-nazis, alt-righters, ancaps, edgy contrarians, and other colorful characters who rant on Jews, black people, women, "Marxists", Muslims, Christians, Athiests, and every variety of white depending on the time of day." However, if /pol/ board is considered the extreme right, shouldn't SJW's be the extreme left? /pol/ board is even described as "the cancer on the opposite side of the body. They have preferred targets as well, which is anyone they deem "privileged", in practice this is a group that is a majority, is perceived as being powerful and/or one whose views clash with theirs; examples of the far left's preferred targets include men, Christians and conservatives. Why list the preferred targets of /pol/, but not the SJW's?

Many of the art-righter wypipo are actually little different than SJWs. Suburban and rural Wypipo wouldn't know oppression if it was throw in their faces by a chimp. These "men, Christians and conservatives" are mostly anacaps, obese losers who worship that Russian slut Ayn Rand who deserve the backlash. Both the alt-right and SJWs are full of bratty white teens and twenty somethings with some sort of grievance and think they know better than everyone else. It's the ultimate first world problem.--Valvatorez (talk) 18:07, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

That doesn't make much sense, Valvatorez. I was listing the groups that tend to get targeted by SJW's; I also mentioned the irony of SJW's attacking Christianity because the article said that the mostly Christian attacks on things such as Dungeons and Dragons were proto-SJW's (ironically the creator of Dunegons and Dragons, Gary Gygax, was a Christian). SJW's tend to be and support left-leaning causes and ideals, so I say there needs to be more about the left and SJW's. On a side note, how is that "catering to snowflake Christians"? And "Christians" is spelled wrong. Your words indicate a callous indifference to the humanity of certain people. We Christians (myself and others) may be comparatively well-off in Western society (for now), but Christians are a persecuted minority in countries including Pakistan and North Korea (to head off any accusations of playing "Oppression Olympics", every group has faced unfair persecution at some point). Should the persecution Christians face be addressed or not? -- User:Flufflion

The issue is addressing that begs the question of whether or not /tg/ actually cares that much about the subject (protip: they really don't). Speaking of, I'm gonna see if I can't compress it a bit more sometime tonight. --LGX-000 (talk) 01:17, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

No, that is because it is playing Oppression Olympics and Whataboutism that whiny wypipo engage in. 1d4chan should know better than to give credibility to a Soviet Propaganda technique. Or whataboutery for our British freinds.(but that's what American Christians have been doing for several years now.) Those North Korea and Pakistani Christians are siding with tyrants who oppress the very people they share a country with. However this isn't about minorities in far off countries. If we're going to engage in whataboutery we may as well dedicate a section in the /pol/ article about the IRA and how they fault persecuted during The Troubles. Many here more than old enough have experienced that personally. Or if were going to engage in the both siderist nonsense. We could also mention NLFT, Nagaland and Eastern Lightning with paragraphs defending describing their POV as well. Not every view point is valid and 1d4chan shouldn't have whataboutery in its articles.--Valvatorez (talk) 02:28, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

And that about sums it up, really. --LGX-000 (talk) 02:51, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

You didn't answer my question Valatorez; what is an anacap? Second, to everyone, just to clear the air, I wasn't trash talking Dungeons and Dragons or Tolkien, I wrote those points to elaborate on the reasons behind the issues (for the former) and some of the complaints raised (for the latter, however baseless they were). There's a difference between stating complaints and actually attacking people, so why was the bit about the Lord of the Rings removed? There seems to be a disproportionate leftist sympathy on this page (left-sympathetic concepts include secularization, catering to emotions and recently, a tendency towards suppression of free speech surpassing that of the right; all of which have appeared here). It is disingenuous to lump /pol/ with the right by association and attack both, but not also dissemble the left for its problems. It speaks volumes that this page was labelled flame bait; even Matt Ward's page hasn't gotten that label. In short, can we civilly discuss the left here as the /pol/ page here does the right? To briefly get off topic, there is so much wrong with what you said Valvatorez I have to break it into bullet points.

1) Oppression Olympics is often misused as an excuse to ignore the suffering of a group you dislike (which I suspect you are doing here); everyone get unfairly oppressed at some point, some more than others.

2) What or who are you accusing of a Soviet Propaganda technique?

3) Christians in North Korea and Pakistan ARE one of the oppressed groups; oppressed by an Islamic (former) and atheistic (latter) regime. They don't side with the tyrants, they're the ones being ground under their heel while other people approve it. The governments of those countries don't just let people leave (especially North Korea; people leaving is not common and difficult), they didn't ask to be born into a country ruled by a draconian regime that won't let people leave.

4) I wasn't asking to put that on the SJW page. I want to point out the irony that the SJW concept originated with those mostly Christian groups, and now SJW's are predominately left-leaning and the left has a history of anti-religious sympathies and Christianity is their preferred target among religions (note I said preferred not "only", and this issue is an elephant in the room regarding religious discrimination).

5) In closing, why should we care about your views and welfare since the favor will obviously not be returned, especially since you seem set on trying to suppress certain views?

Found the SJW amid the pile of slurs. It is just /pol/ with the races reversed.--Namefag (talk) 21:44, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Essentially what Namefag said, though you're not necessarily wrong about the types of white people both sides attract. --LGX-000 (talk) 23:22, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

I think you're missing that the right isn't being discussed civilly on the /pol/ page, it's as bad as this page is in that respect. I've been trying to tell people for ages that politics, especially American politics, are so emotion-driven and so prone to irrationality that there is no way on Earth that this page wouldn't attract those problems; that said, I think he may have meant anarcho-capitalism, which is a completely different kettle of fish that I think he may have gotten mixed up with libertarianism somewhere. I'm opposed to discussing politics anywhere on this wiki for the simple reason that nobody involved in it is remotely mature enough to do so without it devolving into a shitstorm.--Newerfag (talk) 01:46, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

I agree Newerfag; the thing is this emotion-driven politics is a trait of the left rather than the right, especially the Alt-left. Also, thank you for explaining what Valvatorez may have meant by anacap. I was seeking to point out that this is often an example of the negative qualities of the left, but these days the left seem to be a protected class in the Anglosphere and online. What I would like to add to the page, which appears to have been edit-locked, is that politics in the UK have shifted from the hard-right authoritarianism towards the alt-left. If possible, I may clean up the page on /pol/ a bit. User:Flufflion

Take my advice, don't bother polishing the turd. --Newerfag (talk) 06:53, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

tried to do some clean up

i tried to clean up the article some by presenting their positions in a better format. i corrected the bit about SJWs being liberals, they are not liberals, they are leftists. i also added some stuff about the roots of their philosophy and motivation. also deleted the last paragraph. --Kapow (talk) 07:38, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

• Does anyone but some hardcore political grognards care about ye olde definition of Liberal? The mainstream English speaking world has long ago started using the term "liberal" to mean centre-left. The digression on classical liberalism just seems really grognardy and stretches out the page more than it has to. Crazy Cryptek (talk) 09:02, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
  • SJWs are not center left tho, they are far left, as demonstrated by their positions. much of their philosophy comes from a mix of hardcore reactionaries, and hardcore communists. the resulting political abortion, is not at all liberalism.--Kapow (talk) 18:45, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

edits

"Why don't you do more edits?" This is why. Dumbfuckery like this. Poor 1d4chan may be beyond saving at this point. --Furore23 (talk) 11:03, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

• There's already an article on Tumblr, and incursions into /tg/ games means it is certainly relevant to the board (Magic: the gathering is a prime example, as is pretty much anything Wil Wheaton does). Not even this site is exempt, though it's mostly on the fringes. --Asorel (talk) 12:09, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
  • Sorry, should have been more explicit: the problem isn't that there is a page, the problem is that it is 100% adolescent gator trash. --Furore23 (talk) 14:30, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
    • So if you choose to interpret the page as pro gamergate, it warrants deletion? Good to know.
    • Feel free to fix it. --Thannak (talk) 14:59, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
      • There's nothing to fix here. It shouldn't have been made in the first place. 1d4chan is no place for RL politics. Besides, we're trying to be a respectable wiki, not Encyclopedia Dramatica Junior. --Newerfag (talk) 15:31, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
        • Um, actually the entire site is pretty Encyclopedia Dramatica. That's kind of the difference between it and a legitimately respectable wiki with citations and sourced information. Its an informal guide to /tg/ culture and relevant information, presented in a slightly more refined manner than you'd actually see in a post on 4chan. Furthermore, it isn't an "attack page". Just an explanation of how you'd see literally any reference on /tg/ to the SJW meme; as a generic insult referring to a few screwballs from awhile back. See: Furry, as the two are quite similar groups in terms of 4chan history in that they were a vocal minority who irritated a few and lived on as an insult long past their loss of interest in posting on the site. --Thannak (talk) 16:23, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
          • Also, I recall there was a very annoying tripfag back in the golden days who only posted with Sergal pics, but as far as I know there has never been an attempt to incorporate them into an actual /tg/ homebrew. While no doubt somebody gave them tabletop stats at one point, that crucial information has been left out of the page and as it stands should probably be merged with the more general Furry article. --Thannak (talk) 16:37, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
            • Fair enough, perhaps it deserves a cleanup tag instead- personally, I just view the whole thing as a political issue which /tg/ just happened to be caught in the crossfire, hence my misgivings on the page and preference for it to be removed. As well as my own philosophy that the best way of dealing with them is to deny them recognition in any form at all. By the way, Sergalfag never used trips, he just used the avatars and had a very distinct posting style in which he was as condescending as possible while remaining superficially polite. (Ironically, when I looked at /tg/ a few hours agp there was an attempt to incorporate them into homebrew games in one thread- it was shot down almost as soon as it was posted.) --Newerfag (talk) 16:49, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
              • • Yea, I can't help but feel the same way about them. /tg/ never goes after the SJWs, but they almost constantly try to shoehorn their beliefs into here. The only way to really deal with them is to IPBan their threads every time they appear, and to give them no ground. NOTHING, not even an inch. Because if you give them an inch, they'll take a mile. Evilexecutive (talk) 16:53, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
        • We are a chan based wiki. Let us not fool ourselves with delusions of respectability. This wiki has been irreverent and proud of it since the beginning. I take issue with your attempts to try to put this square peg into a round hole. I see no great push to "respectability" from a majority of users. This reeks of the same kind of whitewashing that has infected the hobbyist community as of late. Just from a different direction than it normally originates. --Goldnoon (talk)
          • I find these negative nancies pretty amusing, though also pretty irritating. "Let us not fool ourselves with delusions of respectability", is pretty much someone saying that they have no intention of ever bettering themselves. You really should leave if you think there isn't any work to do on improving the wiki. While I'm one of the fandex editors, I do take the time every now and then to check up on the Cleanup Section to see what I can do to help improve things. Which is a hell of a lot better than bitching about "How things will never get any better". Evilexecutive (talk) 16:31, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
            • Indeed. It's that mindset that makes most of /tg/ itself think we're not much more than a bad joke useful only for the tactics pages. There's no point in calling ourselves "/tg/'s wiki" when the board wants nothing to do with us.--Newerfag (talk) 16:49, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
              • I'm sorry that you feel so ashamed of our roots. We can be a informative wiki and still have articles that are fun and troll lolcows. You are sadly mistaken if you think that the majority want this wiki to be all business. Climb down off that cross. You are not martyrs to the ungrateful plebs of /tg/. --Goldnoon (talk
                • Have you actually asked /tg/ what they think of us? You'd be surprised by how many of them disagree with that sentiment. It's not that the funny articles exist, it's that the humor is increasingly dated and in some cases refers to memes so old hardly anyone on /tg/ can be counted on to remember them. Keeping the humor is fine, but it has to be up to date at the very least. --Newerfag (talk) 17:31, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
                  • Yeah, general reaction I've seen is "Don't look at that, its just inaccurate memeshit, don't bother", to the point that pages without memes and with accurate info shocks some who check it anyway. From what I can gather most people just use it as a repository for tacticas and fapfics. --Thannak (talk) 19:38, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
                • By all means let us improve and update the humorous articles. There are some serious zombie meme's that could use to be replaced with funnier and more relevant ideas. I was under the impression from the way you reacted that you wanted to strip this wiki into another "Just the facts, ma'am" site like so many others. Which would definitely go against the spirit of /tg/ and our glorious history of combining solid tabletop ideas with triggering the terminally offended and milking the lolcows that infest tabletop gaming. --Goldnoon (talk)
                  • • I suppose I failed to make myself clear in that respect then, I guess. Funny is good, but it has to be blended in carefully or it'll fail to inform or entertain. I've yet to find the balance myself which is why I keep coming off as a stuffed shirt. --Newerfag (talk) 18:01, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Conversation, huh? This is promising. Not because of the outcome for this article, but because it may lead to a stronger definition of what 1d4chan is. --Furore23 (talk) 10:47, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Why does this page exist?

After the whole debacle that was "Minorities In The Imperium Of Man", I thought it was apparent that this wiki wouldn't be touching /pol/ or tumblr bait with a 12 foot pole. AFIK, the whole matter of SJWs vs. Regressives is best left to places like /pol/ or /int/. SJWs aren't a thing on /tg/ and many of /tg/'s SJW styled posts tend to be trolls since actual SJWs are incapable of truly sticking to a chan board for more than a few hours it seems (vice versa for /pol/acks and tumblr).

Otherwise, we'd probably need to bring up "Minorities In The Imperium Of Man" again and start writing about /pol/acks and how their version of the Patriarchy is the Cultural Marxist Jewish conspiracy and other sorts of BS for the sake of consistency. -X

Because SJW accusation or references is more of a meme, and Happy Merchant would be a subcategory on the /pol/ page whereas we don't have a chanboard to assign SJW to. --Thannak (talk) 08:17, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Feel that this is less of a meme page and more of a rant a la our Matt Ward pages. Difference is that Matt Ward is far for more relvant to /tg/ as a whole and it just seems hypocritical for us to get rid of "Minorities In The Imperium Of Man" which is more about Social Justice and still have this page. I was thinking about expanding a section on /pol/acks and how they often mirror SJWs with their own BS either on this page or the /pol/ page for the sake of neutrality, although I fear that would cause a backlash since I'm sure more offended /pol/acks utrilize this site than offended SJWs. -X

Feel free, being informative and humorous is the point of the site. Just keep it trye enough to not be a personal rant, unbiased enough outside of jokes or generally agreed upon /tg/ mentality, and funny enough to be a good read. Or throw references to 40k in wholesale, whatever you have time for. --Thannak (talk) 19:42, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Should it be done here or on the /pol/ page however -X

Regressive SJWs

Added a section on regressive SJWs (not necessarily /pol/acks) for a more neutral view and because they exist. -X

Calling anti-SJWs as social justice warriors themselves while trying to justify the actions denounced on the page is not neutral. You can't be neutral towards SJWs because the moment a progressive becomes worthy of someone's time they stop being an SJW. All that is really needed is the reminder to ignore them.--166.172.187.223 19:10, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

The point I was trying to get at was that anti SJWs can often end up acting like SJWs themselves. By neutral, I mean we just don't acknowledge one side of the debate exists while ignoring the other. There are plenty of regressives not worth anyone's time either. In fact you seemingly missed the section where I stated it was okay to fight what you believe in, just don't be an SJW or regressive SJW about it. -X

/pol/lacks are not anti-SJW, they're a different problem despite acting similar. Much like That Guy and WAAC faggots, there is a great deal of overlap but they aren't the same thing regardless. Also, really? All those rapid-fire 40k references? Come on, man. That's cringeworthy. --Thannak (talk) 21:53, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

/pol/acks by definition are anti SJWs. As in they oppose SJWs, but obviously, most anti SJWs are not /pol/acks and this does not just cover /pol/acks. Delete whatever references you want TBH, I just don't want an article sounding vitriolic as it's not in the spirit of this wiki. Having ap rant would be much worse IMO -X

I have never before heard of the regressive right being called social justice warriors. Keyboard warriors yes, but "social justice" is a leftist thing whether or not it is derogatory.--166.172.187.223 23:57, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

That is why I originally placed regressive sjw with a question mark. They exist, but there is no term for them. /pol/ack is the closest, but not all regressive SJWs use /pol/. -X

Wait, anti-SJW as in "same group, different alignment" or anti-SJW as in "against SJW"? Because my point is they are not the former, and in the latter all the article needs is a sentence saying "For their opposites in beliefs but the same in methology see pol" so said idiots get a full page. Or some other word, maybe a page for Stormfront or something. I dunno. --Thannak (talk) 00:02, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Based on the current wording of the page, it is written so that those two types of anti-SJW are the same. Maybe in vitriol, but I don't see them as the same.--166.172.187.223 00:06, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

I wrote it to say that although prog and regressive SJWs have different beliefs, they tend to act the same about it. -X

I still think the smart thing in this situation is to deny both sides recognition, including removing this page itself. By bringing attention to them you make them legitimate, so the only logical thing to do is to act as if they simply do not exist. But the question of whether or not this page ought to be deleted is one that I would rather save for another topic.(Unless you would like to address it here at least.) --Newerfag (talk) 00:07, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Honestly, this page should be deleted. We are not /pol/or tumblr. I don't care how progressive or regressive you are (okay, I kinda do in certain cases lol), but giving these people who sully their own ideologies attention isn't worthy of us. I only added the section on regressive SJWs because we can't just ignore one side of the debate. -X

Regressive SJWs are not the far-right on /pol/, they are the far-left "progressives" beginning to resemble the far-right through horseshoe theory. As in the people who want to "regress" and reinstate segregation to protect minorities from white people instead of the other way around. These terms were mentioned, but not used correctly. The far-right are usually just called bigots or neo-Nazis. People know about the far-right as a stereotype, while the new far-left is... new.--97.104.194.213 03:35, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Not really the horseshoe theory only really works on a surface level, often the far left and the far right will dislike something for very different reasons. Good example, Isreal, the left or sjws will not like it for being an apartheid state, while the far right would hate it for being Jews (and like the apartheid state)

Deletion?

I already stated my basic reasons for why this doesn't deserve its own page above, but here I would like to add that the actual presence of SJWs is admitted even on the page itself to be nothing more than another form of trolling, which hardly makes it worth talking about. And the whole section that anon added about just makes it all even stupider by pretending to be "neutral" when a truly neutral article wouldn't even be willing to acknowledge either side even exists. Better to just get rid of this cancer magnet, because the chances of it spontaneously becoming a halfway decent article are near zero now.--Newerfag (talk) 00:15, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

I am conquer in that it needs to go. At most the page should just say "SJW means Social Justice Warrior and has no bearing on /tg/" as it stands now it is just bad and should be gone, there is no real way to salvage itDragoon508 (talk) 00:51, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

I trimmed it down to that.--97.104.194.213 00:53, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Its a part of 4chan, and /tg/, history. Trolling is no less relevant than anything else. This is the /tg/ wiki, not the Warhammer 40k wiki. The page in fact is far more relevant than generic ones than Fail, and serves a similar purpose: to be linked to in text for a humorous effect. --Thannak (talk) 02:09, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Unfortunately the current policy regarding Linking Pages is that they must also be relevant to traditional gaming, barring a few very rare exceptions such as Skub and Derp. I've tried to make this argument in defense of Tubes, but it got shot down pretty hard. Mostly by Forgefather and his lackeys. I however do not see this page as being very useful at all for the In-text links as other pages such as Tubes, Derp, Rape, and DISTRACTION CARNIFEX. It really seems to just exist to cause butthurt, rather than to enhance any jokes. Evil Executive, CEO of Evil Incorporated (talk) 03:46, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Except that SJWs are barely relevant to /tg/. It's mostly the same kid of person always circle jerking. Considering many SJWs are of the hipster variety, many think trad games are "untouchable" or some shit. Besides, if we hate these people no matter their or our politics, we better not acknowledge them. ALSO, SJWs can't stand chan related stuff, so most SJWs we do "see" on /tg/ are going to be trolls to rustle our jimmies. Please Sig me properly by replacing this with ~~~~

If it happened, continues to happen, and exists within the culture it deserves an article summarizing what it is. We do not ignore what we hate, we mock or trivialize it. There is no legitimate reason to not have this page. There are multiple good reasons to have it, namely that it was something that existed on 4chan and /tg/, and anytime there's something to point out like the terrible writing in Ulrika the Vampire you can link this page as a joke. The only reason to mark this page for deletion is if it personally offends you in some way, which is even more reason to have it. --Thannak (talk) 04:29, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

But it HASN'T happened on /tg/, you yourself just admitted it. And we already have a page on trolling, thus making this one irrelevant. And your "multiple good reasons" thus far have utterly failed to hold up to any scrutiny- and you left out how you're only pushing this so hard because you made it in the first place. Conflict of interest much? --Newerfag (talk) 05:15, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

I did no such thing! Do not put words in my mouth because you have no better reason to want this gone than your fear of te internet boogymen. It HAS happened, and somewhat often. Furthermore, I've made an extremely large number of fucking articles on this site, and have no less right to argue for or against than anyone. None of my arguments have been discredited, you simply do not acknowledge them. In truth, accusations of being SJW and references to them are more common than any actual ones, putting it in "Elf Slave, Wat Do" category (which need I remind you we also have). Regardless, as a meme in 4chan culture which has been recurring on /tg/, this page should stay unless you have ACTUAL objections. --Thannak (talk) 08:12, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

You mean besides the fact that the page is unfunny and terribly written? If you had the inclination to make this page even halfway decent, you or someone else would have already done so by now. But that obviously hasn't happened, and until now it's been little more than bitching about people who don't even show up on /tg/! And at least "Elf Slave, Wat Do" is actually a part of /tg/ culture, as opposed to a malignant tumor brought on by /b/tard rejects and the eternally paranoid. We don't need shit pages like this, so either bring this in line with a real 1d4chan article or GTFO. --Newerfag (talk) 13:16, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Hey, guess what. We have a page for /b/tards too since they became part of the board culture. --Thannak (talk) 17:03, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Looks like there's a lot of hubbub going on here so I'll pitch in my 2 cents. Did SJW's ever contribute anything of value to the world of /tg/? If not, then I don't see why there should be a page about them. Simple as that in my opinion. Remoon101 (talk) 16:44, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Neither have Furries, we still have a page about them. Since accusations to SJW are lobbed around and they are made joming references to in addition to the actual trolling that has occurred, they are a part of board culture. --Thannak (talk) 17:03, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Since when is shitposting and bitching over irrelevant details board culture? --Newerfag (talk) 17:19, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Have you ever actually been on 4chan? --Thannak (talk) 20:40, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

I consider those things to be less board culture so much as a lack of it. Especially because /tg/ has never been a haven for shitposting to the same degree as the rest of 4chan.--Newerfag (talk) 22:04, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

After over a year since I made made this section, this page has somehow gotten even worse. The sooner this lightning rod of bitching and moaning gets shitcanned along with its /pol/ counterpart, the better. --Newerfag (talk) 04:19, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

The ridiculously huge ever-growing size of the page does seem a wee bit obsessive. TiamatRoar (talk) 06:36, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

I think it would be better all around if this page and /pol/ were simply redirects to the Skub page. Any relation to /tg/ they may possess is, in my opinion, thoroughly overshadowed by the cesspit of edit warring they are. These are pages the wiki frankly doesn't need and I'd argue the only reason anyone would want to keep them is as a soapbox from which they can announce their own opinions. At least that's what these pages have turned into. Redmaw (talk) 18:39, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

I feel that there is an option to just keep removing the soapboxing.--Namefag (talk) 19:28, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

It looks to keep coming back faster than it can be removed. Improving this clusterfuck is a lost cause, plain and simple. I've added the redirect, because I have no confidence that anyone will be able to polish this turd at any point in time. That goes for the /pol/ page too.--Newerfag (talk) 03:22, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

I'm not sure the chaos needs to be fixed. Nothing is more appropriate for the subject than a clusterfuck of fighting and edits. Its a meta article in the most wonderful way possible. --Thannak (talk) 06:21, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Believe me, it does. The longer it stayed, the more pointless arguments and bitching it created, which were all too prone to spilling over to the rest of the wiki. Any comedic and informative value it might've had long since died under the torrent of shitposting it attracted. --06:47, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Why not restore it to being a basic summary then, while reverting it back to that any time someone wants to bitch about it? Giving up is the worst possible response honestly since it turns the entire thing from parody into reality. --Thannak (talk) 07:59, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

We tried that more than once. Every single time, someone would turn it into their personal soapbox and any sign of parody would vanish. Preserving it was a valiant effort, but ultimately a futile one. I am not thrilled about it either, but it is the only lasting solution short of locking the page entirely. --Newerfag (talk) 15:05, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

I was working on a genuine attempt to fix the mistakes made here (many of which were mine, I won't pretend otherwise), but I suppose I can live with blank-to-redirect, if only because it gives me even more time to step back and think about shit. The whole "chaotic" thing IS thematically apropos, but it does come at the expense of cooler heads far more often than I, Newerfag or most people would like. So while it's not a move I necessarily fully agree with, I can perfectly understand it and will be willing to work with whatever result this produces. --LGX-000 (talk) 06:39, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

I'm going back to Thannak's idea for the moment. But it'll only work if everyone takes the effort to keep it /tg/ related and only /tg/ related. We all dislike SJWs, but that doesn't justify drifting away from the subject matter of the wiki as a whole. --Newerfag (talk) 19:21, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

And the page is locked for a month. Thank God for that. --Newerfag (talk) 22:18, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Well, we've tried and tried and almost managed to salvage this damn thing. But once again I have to wonder if the best solution is to delete this, then protect it so nobody can recreate it again. Random shitters here simply can't be trusted not to keep their delusional paranoia to themselves, and I'm sick of having to keep cleaning up the mess. --Newerfag (talk) 03:02, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

The lock to prevent IPs from dicking around is a sufficient stopgap for now, although I would have hoped it would last at least another month. --Newerfag (talk) 16:19, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

White Square

That "the day people got offended by a white square" commentary is ridiculously out of context with what the original person who allegedly got "offended" is trying to say... I mean, do I really have to explain that? Just leaving that there is kinda empowering SJWs by proving their antagonists aren't even willing to think logically about anything because it really shouldn't be THAT hard to understand what that "offended" person originally commenting on that white square was really trying to say... TiamatRoar (talk) 02:07, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

THIS. Those SJWS weren't offended by the square, they were offended by the cartoonist's politics who by drawing that square, was making it clear that he hated political correctness, which the SJWs immediately guessed. That image only gives SJWs power. Please Sig me properly by replacing this with ~~~~

Yes and no. They were offended by the implication that they would be offended and resorted to creative name-calling.--97.104.194.213 03:38, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Who gives a shit? We shouldn't have anything to do with their slapfight either way. And Thannak, just because you can make gratuitous links doesn't make them funny, and in fact drives the joke so far into the ground that you can see it poking back up in China. The fewer of those pages that exist solely to be linked to, the better.--Newerfag (talk) 03:45, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Oh for fucks sake, the white square is a joke, if its unfunny then just delete it rather than yip on about it. As for gratuitous links, there's plenty of worse memes that merit far more scrutiny. Just look at the Meme category and take your pick. This one is actually relevant to 4chan culture as it currently stands, unlike Illustraded manual for example. This is once again a case of people leaving pages and redlinks in need of work in the dust when they can quibble over minutia on a "hip" page until Wikifag steps in and decrees "I don't care". --Thannak (talk) 04:29, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Or when they realized that you can't polish a turd of a page like this. And I don't see you working on redlinks either, hypocrite. --Newerfag (talk) 05:24, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Oh, FUCK you. I wrote almost all of the fucking Warhammer Fantasy pages and did heavy editing to most of the rest. Not to mention overhauled who knows how many pages into at least not being a clusterfuck of strikethroughs and first person arguments on the page. Not even going into creating pages for old games and model manufacturers. --Thannak (talk) 08:16, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

So is that an excuse for holding onto this cancerous shitpile then? Nobody cares what you did in the past, only what you're doing right now- which is anything but inspiring confidence in me. --Newerfag (talk) 13:16, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

I think Newerfag's tone is doing violence to his point; that this page is only-tangentially-related to traditional gaming and the board thereof at best, and that it is creating a lot of stupid drama and "No YOU!" page editing. I'm not normally a guy who tags things for deletion, but I'm just not sure this is worth keeping around. --SpectralTime (talk) 16:10, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Wait, why is him pitching a hissy cause for deletion? Isn't that literally giving in to the basic SJW attitude? They shriek and whine until they get their way using baseless attacks and flimsy arguments? --Thannak (talk) 17:03, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

I can ask the same thing as to why "board culture" justifies making a page about whatever you want. Or to be more accurate, your highly distorted form of "board culture" that seems to have very little to do with /tg/'s actual board culture at any given time.

Because this is a wiki about /tg/. Unless you feel like going through the meme category and trimming the fuck out of it (not a bad idea). --Thannak (talk) 20:40, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Now this I agree with. --Newerfag (talk) 22:04, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

At least one can make the argument that furries are /tg/ relevant via Iron Claw, minotaurs, centaurs, and similar shit (in addition to how the mass furry posting on /b/ supposedly led to Warhammer Wednesdays and the creation of /tg/). SJWs can't even claim that modest shred of relevance to the board. And don't act as if you've been a saint here either, Thannak. You're the one screaming about how anyone who doesn't agree with you is as bad as the SJWs themselves. I'm only trying to point out the flaws in the page that you seem unwilling to acknowledge.

If it has appeared regularly on /tg/, it is part of board culture. Period. For fucks sake, TES is in no way connected to traditional games and we still not only have a page about it here, but 24/7 Generals. As for "screaming anyone who doesn't agree is an SJW", I made a (fairly apt) rebuttal to the point that deleting a topic because it triggers someone who complains is ironic and leads towards a bad road. Way to take it out of context though, you should consider politics. --Thannak (talk) 20:40, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

That's because people actually made it into a (relatively) functional RPG and a Warhammer port (see Scrollhammer), thus adopting it into /tg/ albeit only partially. With this, it was never used for anything productive and as far as anyone can prove its only use is as just one more insult, in which case I may as well make pages for " idiot", "retard", and every other thing someone has ever called someone else on 4chan ever.

Even if I overlooked the relevance aspect, I can still say that the page in itself was never funny, makes only the bare minimum of effort needed to connect it to the board itself, and until it was cut down it was prone to rambling about the same political claptrap that it was ostensibly meant to condemn. As it stands now, I'm not happy with the page but can accept it if it goes this far and no further. It tells everything one needs to know, and as far as I can imagine anything else would just make it as bad as it was before.--Newerfag (talk) 17:33, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

I thought we were arguing about this page being deleted. Yeah, it was bloated as fuck and not funny (although not every page needs to be funny, since only the ideal state is both funny and informative-if not both, something has to be one of the two). I'm saying the page belongs, not necessarily in the curresy state. Also, the point is that the loudest voice is not the one who needs to be catered to. --Thannak (talk) 20:40, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

While I would indeed prefer deletion, I would settle for aggressive culling and a full rewrite that illustrates what they are without dwelling on the subject long enough to imply that their position is legitimate (e.g. something like what we have now). THencenature is inherently political, which means that trying to make fun of them will only turn it into shitflinging as people flock to one banner or another and completely miss anybkind of joke being made in the process. And any kind of information worth knowing about them can take uup a couple of paragraphs at most without repeating itself or straying into opinions.

Hence my push to delete or shrink the page- the more attention you lavish on them, the more they can claim they're anything but a bunch of whiny simpletons and the trolls attempting to imitate them. The very act of acknowledging they exist makes them worse, and so logically ignoring them is the only correct option to deal with them. You earlier said we shouldn't ignore what we hate, but I say they don't even deserve to be hated.

And speaking of politics, a very similar debate to this took place on the Communism page in which it was pointed out that any page that taps too deeply into real world politics/ideology will generate flamewars simply by existing, so if one cannot delete it then its /tg/ links (which here are still anything but substantial unless you can show me an actual tabletop game featuring a SJW or undeniable evidence of their influence on the hobby) must be emphasized and the political content neutered to the point at which it simply cannot generate further flamewars. For the time being, I question if such a feat is even possible without simply redirecting the page to Shitposting. Which in my opinion would be just as accurate as what's currently present, if rather on the excessive side. --Newerfag (talk) 22:04, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Potentially relevant info actually concerning tabletop & SJWs

Recently this post claiming that tabletop gamers are terrorists has popped up. Considering that 1. The post has 12,000 notes, 2. It sounds like something that belongs on r/thathappened, and 3. It's forced the games store she accused to post their own response, this is probably noteworthy enough to add. Probably along the lines of:

"When SJWs go after tabletop gaming, its usually with sweeping accusations, such as the hobby as a whole is dangerous to women and minorities, and that these claims, no matter how outlandish, will be believed by at least a sizable number of people. And while this generally is limited to internet drama, this kind of behavior can have real-life consequences. Are we saying jerks don't exist in the hobby? No. What we're saying is that the hobby as a whole is not some evil destructive force out to murder anyone who isn't a straight white male. Your average fa/tg/uy isn't planning to commit hate crimes, unless it's for his Lich character in his Pathfinder campaign (And even then it doesn't count, because fuck elves). This hysteria should remind you of the D&D moral panic of the 70's and 80's when the religious right thought tabletop gaming promoted Satanic ritual murders."

Decide for yourselves if this warrants inclusion or not. 108.183.63.184 17:27, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

I should probably remind you that SJW's are generally not welcome on this wiki, or on /tg/. If and whenever they show up on /tg/, they're always met with cries of Sage and constant reporting for off-topic bullshit. Here on the wiki, they're met with outright hostility from nearly every major editor, myself included. We don't entertain them, as our job here is not give them even a single inch. Because if we give them an inch, they'll take a mile. Evil Executive, CEO of Evil Incorporated (talk) 18:49, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

I don't think this recent events should at all be placed in the article, because that is another case of just giving them the attention they want. Remember, they're no different from caustic trolls that still occasionally plague the wiki and the board, so treat them no differently than their original, classic form. Evil Executive, CEO of Evil Incorporated (talk) 18:49, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

And on top of that, giving them said attention also makes them seem legitimate- in their minds, people wouldn't be trying to argue against them if they weren't absolutely right. So we don't. It's simply a battle that cannot be won unless they are wholly starved of attention. Let the idiots jerk each other off, we don't need or want to be a part of it. In fact, I still question the wisdom of having this page on the wiki but can not currently muster the effort needed to re-engage the debate on whether or not to delete it.--Newerfag (talk) 21:20, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

At this rate I propose locking this article in its current state as of this writing

There's a time in every wiki when you realize that a certain article is simply too skubtastic and too attracting of political butthurt to be allowed to continue, which it seems, has come to cover pretty much every even remotely politically related article here. So why don't we all just lock the article and forget about it. We eventually laid down the law on articles like the Emperor's to-do list, I think it's time we lay down the law here before we get another Halo article sized shitfest. Crazy Cryptek (talk) 07:23, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

Before that happens, I feel like it needs a picture. Something too comedic to be taken as controversial, like the Venture Brothers one on the /pol/ page. --Thannak (talk) 19:09, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

Seconded on both counts because holy shit. --LGX-000 (talk) 01:36, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

PETA's letter to GW

We could add this gem to the list of examples of rabid SJW-ism.

http://www.peta.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Games-Workshop-Ban-Fur-Letter.pdf

Matt Ward responded to that: https://twitter.com/thetowerofstars/status/826052983565799424

• I wouldn't really consider PETA as part of the SJW force considering their antics of comparing chicken cages to the Holocaust, saying that milk causes autism, reducing women into sex objects to make a point and turning black people into racist 'caveman' caricatures. If anything they are the direct opposite of a SJW. Their both triggered cunts, but PETA are on a whole'nother level of nastiness and bastardry. Seriously PETA is the epitome of corporate hypocrisy and abuse. They kill more animals than they save and have a habit of firebombing scientific research centers for cures against certain diseases just because of the poor little mice. Seriously fuck PETA, I hope they go bankrupt and get sued. On the other hand, the post by Matt Ward have officially redeemed all his past wrongdoings. Kudos to Ward for being a marvelous fucking troll. Derpysaurus

Shitty page is shitty

This page is made like some pedowiki article using too many long words without actually telling exactly how much annoying those cancerous shiteaters are in practice.

would like to add this photo at the end of SJWs and "WH40k"

A while ago a sculptor, Stefan Mrdak Ražnatović, know as "Tupavko" on events like games day and golden demon made this image to explain why the Errant-questor model painting is hylarius.

" Skin color has nothing to do with it, as well as no possible feature of a model can be excluded.

What's involved is a poor management of these features:

1 - if I see a knight/ paladin with a BAROQUE armor I hardly associate it to a person with negroid or dark skin. 2 - Although I decided to go for contrast and to use negroid traits, I can not ignore that these characteristics are different from those of the Caucasian populations. 3 - If I do a black face, I certainly can not apply medieval hair or south america / central america indios hairstyle 4 - if a model has clearly white caucasian somatic traits,maybe avoid painting it contradictory on the presentation image is a good idea.

Why is all this WRONG? Because it produces a "cacophonic" effect,elements cobble between each other and give a "unconvincing" image"

SEE IMAGE

We speak English here, try again when we can understand what you're trying to say. --Newerfag (talk) 22:51, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

Lazifag here,done,if you want to integrate the photo and / or rearrange the explanation about Errant Questor painting would be a good argumentation

OK, so who is this person and why should we care? He sounds like just another nobody, and we have better things to do than act as a mouthpiece for random chumps. Not to mention that Knights have nobody with visible skin color anyway, which makes the whole thing completely pointless. --Newerfag (talk) 15:30, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

yes becouse "SJW end with "It should be noted that GW has been somewhat addressing these issues themselves, in Age of Sigmar anyway; several human models have non-white skin tones, the first unhelmed Sigmarine is black, there's a model for a Sigmarine woman, and the most promoted faction other than Sigmarines and Khorne is the mostly female Sylvaneth" and this is a good analisis that can be added to the meaningless black skin tone of the errant-questor presentation poster,born feom leftist mental illness

• Doesn't change the fact that it's just a quote from a random nobody (possibly yourself, as I cannot find anything else about this person) who can't even use the right language on this wiki properly.

Re: the picture being added by Thundercicle

Neither the graph nor the website affiliated with it have any actual connection to the SJW phenomenon beyond pointing out the obvious fact of political extremism being involved in it, which is not something that particularly requires illustrating. It doesn't even say anything about the issues that are associated with the phenomenon beyond political correctness, which is a different issue entirely and one with no relation to /tg/ at all. --Newerfag (talk) 20:14, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

this is a page about SJWs. who SJWs are and what they think is a very important part of the page, which the image and caption address directly. who they are, how many there are, and what they think is of prime importance to the article. SJWs are a tiny minority (about 8% in the USA) of overwhelmingly white, ideologically homogeneous, highly politically correct, politically active, leftists. i frankly cannot understand any legitimate reason why that information would be irrelevant to the article. the only reason i can think of why someone would want the information removed is to suppress it, and i think that is exactly what you are trying to do here. for that reason, i am reinstating the image and caption.--Thundercles (talk) 20:44, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

That 8% number you seem to have pulled out of thin air isn't even on the picture you're linking, and from the site itself I can conclude you are taking the picture itself completely out of context. I'm not trying to suppress it, it simply isn't informative. And weren't you the one who told me they weren't progressive despite their holding views that are identified as being politically progressive?

In any case, I expect you to drop your persecution complex long enough to explain where exactly on your picture says there that political correctness is the sole relevant trait SJWs have. Or where we're even supposed to get your 8% figure by looking at it at that matter. --Newerfag (talk) 21:01, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

1)The size of the circles in the image is based on the size of the population of that particular group. It IS on the picture and it IS informative, you are just not willing to see it. Additionally, the 8% number is in the link that is in the accompanying caption.

2)progressives are not liberals. those are 2 different things with 2 different epistemologies and completely divergent intellectual traditions. you are intentionally conflating words, and intentionally lying about what i said. that is why i more strongly believe that you are not acting in good faith.

3)I never said that political correctness is the sole trait of SJWs, you saying that i did is a lie. However, debates on political correctness and "hate speech" are the most important issue surrounding the SJWs. Everyone from across the political spectrum, can see that clearly. And that is exactly the relationship that the image portrays, as it should be, because it is important to understand the largest issue.

--Thundercles (talk) 21:57, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Obviously it isn't clear at all if you had to say all of that just to explain it, and looking at that very picture the sizes aren't clearly indicated as meaning anything at all. And apparently you aren't using the same definition of "liberal" that's used in much of the world today (e.g. the American sense of liberal as synonymous with left-wing)- whether you personally approve of it or not, they have been conflated to the point that it would be pointless hair-splitting not to do the same. And on the page as it is now, hate speech isn't even mentioned as a SJW issue even once. Nor should it be since it's not an issue in tabletop games outside of Racial Holy War.

And let's not forget that the report you're using has been found by actual political scientists to be riddled with serious flaws in its methodology, like never actually defining political correctness, and all of these classifications are purely invented by the authors of the report with no basis in how people actually identify themselves. If anything, the conclusion I've seen being drawn by these people is that the report is a load of baloney and can be dismissed accordingly. And really, do you really need to be told that fanatics of any type are rare? I could go on for a while and even link you to my sources which blow your "valuable information" out of the water, but I have a feeling you are too unwilling to back down to admit you might be wrong. Even if it is correct, nobody cares about "the larger issue" here. Except for you, it seems. --Newerfag (talk) 22:20, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

1)THE CIRCLE SIZE IS EXPLAINED DIRECTLY BY THE LEGEND OF THE GRAPH. OMFG YOU ARE A LIAR AND AN OBSCURANTIST. HERE IT IS

2) the fact that SJWs are a tiny minority is extremely important information. it is critical to understanding them and their tactics.

3)you are not posting your sources so im ignoring anything you say about the study being flawed until you do.

--Thundercles (talk) 22:48, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

1. The text was so tiny I couldn't see it. Stop projecting your paranoia onto me.

2. That should be a given, as is the case for any extremist. Do we also need to tell people that water is wet and that the Imperium of Man is not a nice place to live?

3. Here, and I'll even give relevant quotes seeing that you seem to hate reading anything that doesn't contradict your holy book:

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/10/22/17991928/hidden-tribes-more-in-common-david-brooks "The political scientists I asked about the report emphasized the limits of cluster analysis as a statistical tool. It can point to patterns and groupings in the data but can’t tell you how meaningful those patterns actually are in the real world. Someone might fit this report’s definition of being a Passive Liberal in theory but still vote no differently than a Progressive Activist in practice. The best way to understand this is to look at reports in the past that have used similar methodologies. There are a whole lot of them, and they’ve come up with radically different groupings than the “Hidden Tribes” authors used." "nobody thinks of themselves as a member of the Devoted Conservative or Passive Liberal subgroup. These are made-up categories for analytic purposes, not identities around which anyone is organized. Politicians can’t appeal to the exhausted majority because it does not exist as an identity group."

This Twitter thread, showing how the report's way of asking about political correctness was seriously flawed: https://twitter.com/jamesnewburg/status/1050045811902636034 "I suspect that this 80% finding wouldn't hold up if you gave respondents a competing option and guess what—it doesn't!"

https://medium.com/@andygoldblatt/is-hidden-tribes-highfalutin-bunk-d2fb20094ba5 "Research design can also create problems. For instance, what if you’re given a multiple-choice question where none of the answers work for you? More in Common used a well-known set of either-or queries to determine the authoritarian inclinations of interviewees. If asked “is it more important that your child be independent or respectful of elders, obedient or self-reliant?” I’d have no problem saying independent and self-reliant, the anti-authoritarian answers. But if asked “is it more important that your child be well-behaved or creative?” I’d say “both!” Same if asked “is it more important that your child have curiosity or good manners?” If forced to choose, I’d say creative and curious, but they’d be 60-40 choices — meaning the study would count me as an anti-authoritarian absolutist when in truth I feel some ambivalence."

http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/10/tribalism-exhausted-majority-centrism-david-brooks-democratic-party.html "To state the obvious, More in Common was never going to release a study showing that Americans have very little in common. And this bias shows up in some aspects of its survey design — most conspicuously, in the authors’ decision not to define “political correctness” for their respondents. A supermajority of the American public would (almost certainly) agree that “special interests” have too much influence over the federal government. But that unanimity would disappear the moment one started naming specific interest groups (say “Evangelical Christians” or “environmentalists”). Similarly, while 80 percent of Americans might abhor “political correctness,” the Exhausted Majority would likely splinter when asked whether that oppressive phenomenon keeps politicians from telling the “truth” about, say, the violent nature of Islam."

From your own source, the above. Notice anything different despite it asking what is essentially the same question?

https://www.salon.com/2018/10/14/do-americans-really-hate-political-correctness-another-misguided-attempt-at-balance-falls-flat/ "A major premise of the report is that polarization is driven by groups on the extremes, leaving groups in the middle “exhausted,” when they could otherwise bring us together. The echoes of Richard Nixon’s “Silent Majority” are unmistakable. But a chart from the executive summary actually undermines their argument. Figure 0.6 purports to show "The Exhausted Majority: Less politically active and partisan than the wing segments." But it shows nothing related to partisanship, and two things entirely unrelated to politics — donating blood and donating money at a place of worship."

Regarding the Population of LGBTQ+ People

The inherent problem with finding the number of LGBTQ+ people in any area is that it has to be done by admittance of the people themselves. This is the reason why younger people are more likely to identify as LGB than older, and also why there have been a seemingly odd number of older LGBT people since the early-mid nineties in the West. In the US, for example, there are approximately 44 conservative leaning or majority states where the overall philosophical ideologies of the majority could potentially endanger the out-person's job and housing. This is not accounting for more fundamentalist issues in regards to family (like a very traditional Christian or Islamic parents who would ostracize a child for their sexual orientation or gender identity - in the US LGBTQ+ people are 120% more likely to be homeless than their heterosexual counterparts, and if you want to look at hate crimes against LGBTQ+ people, look at the FBI report - there's simply too much data to discuss here and would cause too much skub). The best place right now, really, to look, is Germany. YouGov did an interesting survey using the Kinsey scale (which reveals much more than personal identifications like bisexual or homosexual does), which found that only approximately 73% of the population was exclusively heterosexual (assuming that the "incidental homosexual attraction" was just curiosity or experimentation), making the number much bigger than self-reported orientation.

All that said, Britain reports LGBTQ+ people as about 1/16, the US as about 1/25, and Japan as a little less than 1/10 (keep in mind gay marriage isn't legal in Japan and trans people can't change their legal gender until they've had government regulated SRS), so honestly, for simplicity, if not 100% accuracy, 1/20 is a-ok.

On an unrelated note, the tl;dr for the "Do SJWs Have a Point" is fucking massive. It really needs trimming down. I won't touch it because I think that I am inherently biased here, but it really needs to be less than two full ass paragraphs. --Kracked Mynd (talk) 21:24, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Simplicity argument heard, figure it's not a big deal in light of that, so we're good there.

As far as length, it probably COULD be cut down, the real question being "by how much"? Media rep's a bit of a wordy subject by its nature, and I don't wanna risk cutting corners (i.e. weaken the presentation) simply for the sake of brevity. --LGX-000 (talk) 03:34, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

And the information itself is important in order to provide context. Most people don't even think about the subject- there wouldn't be so much bitching about it if that wasn't the case. --Newerfag (talk) 04:17, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Seems legit to me, I'll leave it be. --Kracked Mynd (talk) 19:44, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Dissenting Opinion

Do SJWs have a point? No.

Modern Social Justice Warriors are a form of troll.

While there are genuinely some people that are interested in pushing progressive ideals onto the hobby -- the fact that they are should immediately disqualify them just like the "Alt-Right" pushing conservative ideals would be -- the vast majority of SJWs are actually a form of troll that discovered if you pretend to be speaking up on behalf of some marginalized group, no one is allowed to call you out on your bullshit. Or worse still, they are people who realized if you pretend to be a feminist, the cute girl with rainbow colored hair might touch your dick (or at least trust you enough to so you can spike her drink).

With this in mind, the reason SJWs do not have a point is because they are inherently not arguing in good faith. The people demanding Female Space Marines would never be caught dead in a gaming store buying plastic crack, painting it, or playing Warhammer 40k. The people writing Genderfluid Shapeshifting Elf Sluts into D&D 6.0 are doing so because hopefully the cute intern with tidy-bowl hair will like it. The people spouting crap about "problematic gender roles" have spent the past 8 years being indoctrinated by Identity Marxist professors and are literally preaching their religion to you.

You realize the whole concept of "Cultural Marxism" is literally Nazi propaganda updated for the modern era, right? (Look up "Cultural Bolshevism", it's the same thing.) On top of that, Marx himself and the vast majority of Marxists never gave a shit about culture, as they assert the only social division that matters is that of class. To my knowledge they never said anything about sexuality or gender roles either.--Newerfag (talk) 16:07, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

"One of the artifices of Satan is, to induce men to believe that he does not exist: another, perhaps equally fatal, is to make them fancy that he is obliged to stand quietly by, and not to meddle with them, if they get into true silence." - John Wilkinson. Cultural Marxism absolutely is a thing. The Frankfurt school examined Marxism after it got BTFO'd in the 70s, decided that it we take the class struggle and restructure it to other class groups it might work. Suddenly instead of the rich vs the poor it's the majority vs the minority, pick your favorite identity group -- whites vs everyone else, straights vs LGBTQP, what have you. Yes, I'm aware the Cultural Marxists investigated Cultural Marxism and found that it's a conspiracy to mention Cultural Marxism. But it exists. To pretend otherwise is gaslighting. And no, pretending disagreeing with progressives is "nazi propaganda" won't work. People stopped caring if some tool on the internet called them a Nazi ages ago. KiTA (talk) 21:09, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Long story short stipulating that all the social and political changes which happened from WW2 Onward in the "Western World" happened because of a few academics which did not like Jazz which propose one framework by which modern film studies guys and gals use in various degrees and ways to examine media is not a rational position to make. The world is a whole lot more complicated than that. Also the Burden of Proof lies on one making a positive claim. I don't have to disprove a claim that there is a 50 meter tall statue of a Space Marine on a planet orbiting Alpha Centauri. It could exist, but there is no evidence of it. Similarly claiming that the Frankfurt School has the reach that you say it does is a positive claim. Also the claim that it Covers up Evidence of itself from the masses is a positive claim on top of that. None of which are substantiated. Nazism however did like to accuse things it did not approve of as being Cultural Bolshevism ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Bolshevism ), this is a well established part of Nazi Ideology as part of their wider reactionary and antisemetic policies.--A Walrus (talk) 22:23, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Well it's a darned good thing that I didn't stipulate that, isn't it Walrus? Tell me, does the straw-manning come naturally to ya, or do you have to work at it? If you have to take my argument and turn it into an absurd absolute that I didn't say to attack it... is my argument the problem, or is it that you don't want to admit that I have a point? SJWs are trolls. Or at least, some SJWs are trolls. The ones that aren't trolls are activists. Neither should be taken seriously for hobby matters because they are inherently not acting from a position of good faith. Consider this -- if /pol/ showed up and started demanding their own version of IRL politics be added to 40k, like say ethnonationalist IG sects or it being cannonically mentioned that the Emperor killed all the Jews, there's no way anyone would put up with that. They would have JUST as much right to do so, since they'd be internet activists pushing their politics, just like the tidy-bowl crew is. But demanding the lore be toned down in other ways because some purple haired loon on twitter or the latest 40k General finds depictions of an authoritarian theocracy, or a male exclusive military "problematic" is somehow not called out. It's a "natural cultural evolution." Nonsense. KiTA (talk) 07:10, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Firstly those people did show up and did demand that, we saw a shitload of it when Trump was made president. Secondly you are stipulating that, just look at the other paragraph you typed out at the same time as this one. -- Triacom (talk) 09:13, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

The even bigger irony is that "Cultural Marxist" as a term was originally used by actual Marxists as an insult because of the lack of connection that the Frankfurt school had to more typical Marxist thought (compare with the similar terms "Jack Mormon" and "fast-food Christianity"), which you'll be surprised to learn isn't a hivemind. You'll also be equally surprised to learn that an obscure philosophical school whose main figures are all long dead isn't even remotely influential in the modern world.--Newerfag (talk) 23:22, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Yes, because Neo-Marxists totally aren't using White-skinned people vs Brown-skinned people, Straight people vs LGBTQP, Men vs Women, Sane people vs Trans people, et cetera, et cetera, in the same vein as old school Marxists used Rich vs Poor. Again, pretending Cultural Marxism isn't real is gaslighting. Neo-Marxists just switched from economic theory to identity politics when it became abundantly clear in the 70s that Marxism is a failed ideology that kills people every time someone tries to push it. KiTA (talk) 07:10, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

I'd just like to point out the dog whistle "LGBTQP" being used here, meant to associate the LGBTQ community with pedophiles. And we've been dividing groups of people into "Us vs. Other" since the dawn of civilization, long before that bunch of old farts ever put their ideas down on paper.--Newerfag (talk) 14:47, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

I don't think you get the difference between "cultural marxism" (Nazi propaganda) and cultural paradigm shifts. You seem to think that any change in thought or argument is somehow influenced by a particular school of thought instead of being what just naturally happens over time as people and culture evolve. If people never changed and culture remained stagnant, then we'd all still separate people on the bus based on skin colour, and it's not because of the frankfurt school that we've seen a change in culture and society as a whole. -- Triacom (talk) 09:13, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

I'd be careful with that one, because it sounds like KiTA might actually advocate for segregation, given their seeming sympathy to old /pol/ "infiltration tactics" (at least it sure fucking looks that way with their loose understanding of gaslighting, which condemns freedom of expression and action in things such as gender and sexuality which exonerating fascists). I think the real kicker is that we'd be banging fucking rocks together and struggling to plant more than one kind of seed without cultural change and exchange (although the Italians would still be fucking pissed about their cheese). --Kracked Mynd (talk) 13:11, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Don't forget his inability to distinguish different forms of Marxism from each other. It's a family of political philosophies that squabble with each other on a regular basis, not a single monolithic one. Violently too, just look at Trotsky's fate.--Newerfag (talk) 14:47, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

The argument is as such: If they can fix the "problematic" media, then they can fix the people who enjoy said media. And even if they can't, by ruining something "problematic" they've inherently made the world better, even if it sucks for anyone who enjoyed it. Especially since it sucks for anyone who enjoyed it, because according to SJW logic, if you enjoyed problematic media you were problematic yourself.

This is all documented in academic works such as Adrienne Shaw's "He Could Be a Bunny Rabbit For All I Care," wherein a Marxist researcher discovered that hobbies such as Video Games (this piece spawned the "Gamers are Dead" media blitz that helped spark GamerGate) or Tabletop are inherently meritocratic, which means that tokenism and progressive guilt can't find a foothold. To wit: Your genitals won't make you win any more games, therefore the scoring system must be broken.

Why does the Imperium need Female Space Marines? Because it drives SJWs nuts that there are people out there who don't think that the Imperium needs Female Space Marines.

And like any troll, the best way to deal with a SJW is to ignore them. And if you can't ignore them -- because they're doing their best to get hired and destroy your favorite game -- then the next best thing is to mock the everloving shit out of them.

Ironically, much of this opinion is trolling in itself, especially since Shaw's work is being completely misrepresented here. Why this is worth preserving on this talk page is a mystery to me. Also, it takes some real insecurity to interpret the logical step of expanding a demographic as being done to "destroy your favorite game". Honestly, it's like the original writer thought the big corporations whose interests start and end with money actually care about what one person thinks. --Newerfag (talk) 05:44, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Yes yes, disagreeing with trolls is trolling. Heard it before. And no, I don't think GW or WoTC or any of them give two squirts of piss about what any of us think -- but I do also recognize SJWs are performing a tactic called Entryism where they get positions where they can influence stuff, like forum mods or game designers, wherein they start pushing their shit tier politics. As for Shaw, you'll have to forgive me if I got the exact article wrong, she did the research and then did two different papers on it with the exact opposite conclusion, because she's a Marxist and thus inherently dishonest and dumb. KiTA (talk) 08:26, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Haha, the irony is so strong considering that is exactly what neo-fascists do all the time (eg, dog-whistles). As Newerfag pointed out, you're conflating some kind of organized coup of your precious entertainment by some illuminati left with natural cultural evolution. Please just think through what you're saying before you say it, bot every dogshit idea must be given a prose-form. --Kracked Mynd (talk) 17:39, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Yes yes, the neo-fascists that exist in your head are scaring you again, I get it. Remember the motto, call everyone to the right of Mao alt-right Nazi Russian bot Neo-Nazi white supremacist fascist neo-fascist. What magic word that means "bad guy, not of tribe" will you use when people laugh at Neo-Fascist, I wonder? "Natural cultural evolution" doesn't require deplatforming and activists joining companies just to spread their dogshit politics. Which is absolutely what the SJWs have been doing the past 5-10 years. KiTA (talk) 20:58, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

I'm not playing the Gish Gallop game with you, Mr. Fag. You know as well as I do that Shaw stated very clearly in her work. "Gamers" as an identity do not value shitty progressive cultural marxist ideals like forced diversity, tokenism, and fear of being "problematic," so "gamer" as an identity has to die. KiTA (talk) 20:58, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

If you actually read her work you'd know that the claim specifically referred to the idea that all gamers were single straight white guys, which is the polar opposite of what you seem to believe she was saying. I'm sure you could cite a passage from the work if I am incorrect. Oh,and your "media blitz" was nothing more than simple reaction pieces that are exactly what one would expect from the normal media cycle.

If somebody feels like they have a point then writing them off as a troll and deleting the topic outright isn't going to make them go away, moving it here at least helps prevents an edit conflict. -- Triacom (talk) 07:39, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

His additions thus far have convinced me that it was indeed for shitstirring purposes. In fact it's turning into outright conspiracy theorizing now. --Newerfag (talk) 16:07, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

And having this argument here is still better than having it on the main page. The problem I have with conspiracy theorists is it's impossible to tell when they're shitposting and when they're legitimately trying to explain their crackpot theories. -- Triacom (talk) 19:02, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

My thought on it (and why I initially left it on the main page) is that this viewpoint that everything any tabletop company does that alt-right (which is clearly what the editor is) /pol/fags don't agree with is pandering to the liberal Marxist is absolutely present on /tg/. It's just Jordan Peterson distilled into a *chan format and forged into the burning hot assmad we have all come to know and love about the reactionary right. Because the opinion (with a few revisions) isn't so god awful that it might drive people away from the wiki and, although the basic facts are clearly unintelligible nonsense, the case is at least pretty well presented. I see no reason why this shouldn't be represented somewhere in it's raw form (minus the racism and homophobia that usually comes with the posters) that is shown on /tg/, at least somewhere. I think it's also worth mentioning that KiTA has thus far been mostly just adding standard material to standard 40k articles. They seem to be a good editor, so I'm inclined to believe that this edit was in good faith. --Kracked Mynd (talk) 17:39, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

My issue with presenting it as is on the main page is firstly because it's arguing against the previous topic, and arguments should not be fought out on the main page. Secondly, the basic facts are unintelligible nonsense, as you point out here. They can't debunk the existing topic on why SJW's can sometimes have a point, since it's very easy to look back at older media and point out that it's very definitely wrong by today's standards. This is something the article addresses, and points out that it's also possible to do this the wrong way, by making it some sort of call to arms reactionary bullshit when they want to make a mountain out of a molehill.

TL;DR: the part about whether SJW's have a point or not is already covered very well and adding a topic that argues against it with little more than actual Nazi propaganda (Newerfag's right on that) and is so badly worded and presented to the point that we couldn't even agree if it was a shit post or not shouldn't be done. -- Triacom (talk) 19:02, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

I have noted that previously and question why he has suddenly deviated from his original editing patterns to something far more counterproductive. While I would like to believe that he is simply a regular editor with a one-track mind on this issue, his recent activity is making it uncertain if he can remain productive. In any case, the recent arguments made in its favor have done more to damn it than exonerate it. --Newerfag (talk) 23:22, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Not that I'm disagreeing here, but I do think KiTa believes in what they're arguing, which is why I'm not writing it off as trolling. No matter how stupid it is, I think they genuinely believe in it. -- Triacom (talk) 01:02, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Are we really going Godwin's law here? "Actual Nazi propaganda"? LOL. Listen, just because people don't agree with Progressive nutjobs and their SocJus cult doesn't mean they're "Nazis" or even right leaning. SJWs are a form of troll, and pretending they aren't is gaslighting. KiTA (talk) 20:49, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

If you don't know the history of what you're arguing for/about, don't complain when people bring it up. You didn't do the research on what the term meant, it's not our fault if you're too ignorant to know literally using Nazi propaganda in your argument. -- Triacom (talk) 01:02, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

If I may join this discussion, I don't think that SJWs should be classified as a form of troll because trolls aren't trying to accomplish anything other than making people upset. SJWs are people who are actually trying to push their beliefs onto other people because in their minds it is the right thing to do. If a person is only pretending to fight for social justice to make other people upset, then they are a troll and not a true SJW. I think that the worst SJWs are actually a modern form of religious fundamentalist extremists because they can't tolerate the existence of people who don't agree with them and refuse to recognize their own hypocrisy. And just like religious people, SJWs consists of a wide spectrum of people from decent dudes to delusional monsters. And also just like religious people, sometimes SJWs do have a point when they make an argument about something. It isn't simple, don't treat all people you disagree with like they are all the same thing.--107.136.191.182 23:02, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

I don't think they are. How many SJWs do anything other than harass people on twitter? A few percent? If that? For every Big Red you have 1000 unhinged lunatics ranting about how all men are a hive mind and the cause of all the evils of the world. That's trolling, not activism. They found a way to be shitty to people online and if anyone complaints, well, they're "nazi propagandists." KiTA (talk) 07:10, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Got a source or is this just another one of your assumptions because you've convinced yourself that the 'evil left' is out to get you and your hobby too? -- Triacom (talk) 09:13, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

These are points made in the article and they're also why I didn't just immediately delete the dissenting opinion and call it a day. Anyone who's trying to write off all SJW's is making the mistake that the more radical SJW's make of writing their critics off as sexist/homophobes/insert term here. -- Triacom (talk) 01:02, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

The "article" shouldn't be on the page. It's a discussion piece. If it's on the front page, then a dissenting opinion should follow it. I'm all for moving my dissent over here... but the "do SJWs have a point" needs to be moved over here too, because to do otherwise is silly. Also: Yes, SJWs like to call people names. But don't forget "nazi propagandist" or "/pol/fags" or whatever -- the second I criticized the soapbox, Kracked Mynd et alia sure were quick to trot out some tired old chestnuts about me. KiTA (talk) 07:10, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Arguments do not go on the main page, simple as that. If you think it's a discussion piece, discuss it here. If you have a dissenting opinion, post it here. If you think you can improve on what's already on the main page, then feel free to do so, but don't try to post a load of bullshit on the main page while claiming that it's just a dissenting opinion. The reason why the bit about them having a point is on the main page is because it's relevant to the topic at hand, and because it's relevant to the topic at hand it should remain there. Also the reason you have people calling you out for using Nazi propaganda is because you're literally using Nazi propaganda, did you not think that would get this kind of response? -- Triacom (talk) 09:19, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Modern third-wave intersectional feminism, which forms the core of the social justice warrior ideology, is very Marxist in its beliefs. It takes the Marxist 'haves vs. the have-nots' class-war framework and applies it to multiple cultural things (like whites as a united class vs. everyone else united as the "people of color" class), and mostly avoids economic class to make people not look at how well-to-do the core of the Twitter mobs are. The influence that social justice warriors have is not a Nazi conspiracy theory, though it does get exaggerated depending on what sources you browse. It comes from college campuses and is vomited out onto the internet. Of course Nazis are not going to like Marxists. That does not make the Marxists a figment of propaganda.--Namefag (talk) 04:11, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

You lost any credibility the second you claimed intersectional feminism forms the core of the social justice warrior ideology. If anything it's the other way around, and I'm not sure you even understand the cultural marxist bit we've been talking about which literally is modified Nazi propaganda. I also can't help but laugh whenever anyone talks about the 'influence' of SJW's, as if people are going to boycot something just because a popular SJW doesn't like it and cause it to fail as a result, or they'll go to see and rate highly the things that SJW's like. That's not going to happen, it would be like saying DC fans have a ton of influence because of the thousands of perfect reviews that are released whenever a new DC movie comes out, and the fact that they always do pretty well. -- Triacom (talk) 04:21, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

I think that gender studies classes inform keyboard warriors more than keyboard warriors dictate academic literature, though there is certainly a feedback loop. The Frankfurt guys invented intersectionality before intersectionality was a thing. While it was Nazi propaganda that they were taking over, it is simple fact that they held ideas very similar to the core of modern social justice. I'm not going to argue about the level of influence and power.--Namefag (talk) 22:14, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

>I also can't help but laugh whenever anyone talks about the 'influence' of SJW's< Are made-up gender pronouns in 40k stories not SJW influence? It's not like authors have difficulties keeping their agendas to themselves.--95.28.167.165 17:38, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Do you have the interview where the author talks about how SJW's put a gun to their head and forced them to add those? No? Then it's an author adding it in based on their own personal thoughts and beliefs. Claiming that it's the SJW's out to change/ruin your books is like claiming the anon's editing the page is proof Sargon of Akkad is targeting the wiki. It's laughable. -- Triacom (talk) 19:40, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Clearly someone has some problems putting two and two together. Non-SJWs do not identify themselves as "Whitecishet. He / him". Is he a BL author? Yes. Does he push his views through BL books while ignoring English grammar? Yes. Is he influenced by modern pseudo-marxists or is himself one of them? Yes. Or what, you're gonna pretend the answer to any of those questions is a "no"? -- 95.28.167.165 20:52, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Let me guess, you never actually looked at what the Frankfurt School actually said either right? And Gav Thorpe was never good. --Newerfag (talk) 00:13, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Where did the BL author tell you where to think? Oh they didn't? Did they say that they were forced to use those pronouns from the SJW's? No? Are you imagining you can see inside their head and are one of the chosen few who knows about this grand conspiracy to ruin the hobby using pronouns you don't like? Yes? Well then I'm going to call you a nutcase. -- Triacom (talk) 23:16, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

You could at least try to read what others write, m8. The part about straw man specifically. You're also rejecting the fact society as a whole and nearest entourage both affect the person. >Did they say that they were forced to use those pronouns from the SJW's< Can you say for sure that Mao was forced to learn theory of marxism from COMMUNISTS? --95.28.167.165 17:24, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

And you should stop assuming you know what caused them to write what they wrote. It makesyou look like a nutcase. -- Triacom (talk) 18:01, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and calls others "toxic ciswhite males" like a duck, then I'm a nutcase. Sorry for expressing disagreement with you on that, oh great all-knowing pillar of wisdom. --95.28.167.165 18:52, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

If you imagine it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and calls others toxic ciswhite males then yes, you're a nutcase. It doesn't take a lot of wisdom to know that you cannot assume to know what other people are thinking, or what influenced them unless they directly tell you. -- Triacom (talk) 19:31, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Wait, wait, wait, for realsies now, in all seriousness, do average people use made-up pronounces in their everyday life in UK (or USA, for that matter)? Like, you come to the store, and cashier asks you "What are your pronounces, fellow human-being?" Let's leave your inability to draw conclusions from people's actions aside for now. --95.28.167.165 15:38, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

No of course they fucking don't. Some "influence" you're worried about isn't it? -- Triacom (talk) 18:52, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

If they would ask? Definitely. Do you know that some particular words rise a certain flag above the speaker, right? Oh is that concept, too, a bit hard for you to grasp? But Lord of Lemmings is right, I should cut it out. --95.28.167.165 19:38, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

If they would ask, then they would ask. Fact is they can ask, but they don't. -- Triacom (talk) 20:31, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Let the dead horse lie. Stop talking about this. Its not a forum. --Lord Of The Lemmings (talk) 16:17, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Honestly, this is the kinda obvious "bad faith" argument that undercuts a lot of anti-SJW arguments - anyone who engages with the idea for more than five seconds at a time wouldn't have to make this kind of out-there assumption about pronoun usage, and that goes back to the use of SJW as a snarl via invoking a boogeyman that you aren't meant to think about beyond opposing them uncritically. --LGX-000 (talk) 18:32, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, there's absolutely No Way Whatsoever that the author made a few goofy decisions regarding one character without participating in some grand conspiracy to destroy a long-running franchise because question mark. --LGX-000 (talk) 22:11, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Twitter points. That is all the scheming it takes.--Namefag (talk) 22:15, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

>some grand conspiracy to destroy a long-running franchise< Nice straw man. We're talking about SJW influence on hobby, not some conspiracy. I highly doubt those authors stick together snickering and murmuring something like "And than we will make a transAstartes chapter, bwha-ha-ha". That still doesn't make them any less "left-leaning". --95.28.167.165 22:25, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Unless SJW's are forcing the author to do it, they aren't exhibiting influence over the author. -- Triacom (talk) 23:16, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

It's like the authors might have actually chosen to do all that shit entirely on their own for reasons which need not have anything to do with random idiots on the Internet!--Newerfag (talk) 00:13, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Exactly, that just begs the possibility of said authors being 'left-leaning' as a result of personal evaluation of their views as opposed to being 'influenced' by SJWs (not to mention the vagueness as to what that influence is). --LGX-000 (talk) 18:34, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Personal evaluations can not be discussed while discarding the environment the person lives in altogether, no? And once again, I personally fail to see how one can come to idea of using "new and improved" pronounces all by their own. Those simply do not exist in everyday life outside of certain communities, as Triacom so kindly pointed out. --95.28.167.165 19:38, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Except I didn't point it out, but before we get into that, do you really think authors of all people have trouble making up words and terms? If they're writing sci-fi, then that kind of thing might as well be a part of their job description. As for talking about personal evaluations, you're not doing that, you're imagining you can see inside somebody else's head and that they're having influence exerted over them by "the left". -- Triacom (talk) 20:36, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Oh, but you did. The argument that "they could do it" is invalid as technically they can also stab your guts. Those both, I believe, are not common occurrences. If you're so delusional to think Gav actually "invented" that pronounce - no, he took the one he had found most suitable (I wonder where exactly did he take them from... But I guess it counts as "imagining you can see inside somebody else's head", not "sane thinking process" in your book). You can find it on his Twitter. Don't get me started on how retarded the idea of "he invented something that fits alphabet-soup pronounce-friendly community so completely as if it was taken from it" is in the first place. You may as well start arguing Tolkien invented ye alde English, because in some edition of Hobbit the Middle-earth map he draw is marked as written in dwarven despite it being plain old English. --95.28.167.165 20:17, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

It's your own argument that you're calling invalid. You're claiming that they have the influence to make other people use certain pronouns, yet nobody uses those pronouns in day-to-day life and there's no evidence other people were forced to use those pronouns. They can use them, and they choose not to, so why are you freaking out about the possibility of them using them? I do like that you think effect=cause is a rational thought though, because you're not using cause and effect, you're looking and the end result and assuming you know what caused it. You're the one freaking out about what people could do, and now you're saying your own point is invalid. -- Triacom (talk) 22:38, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

To idiots changing the "Do SJW's have a point?" section

You do get that you're everything you claim SJW's are right? Let's go through your points:

• They demand change just for the sake of change, and then move on to a new thing to brigade and get professionally outraged over.

Anti-SJW's to a tee. That's what you're doing here, read what's actually on the page and consider it? Fuck it, what's on the page doesn't agree with you, better change it.

• Any attempt to cater to these people is essentially self-defeating as a business strategy as they are not really interested in whatever it is you're selling in the first place.

Once again, dead-on. Anti-SJW's talk a lot but never back it up, anytime something they like comes out it's never good enough because they always say it's ruined by the SJW's, or it goes poorly and the blame the SJW's for not buying it, even though they didn't go buy it themselves.

• And by catering to their demands, you will inevitably change or lower the quality of your former product and thus completely alienate and lose the respect of your former fanbase.

Once again, another perfect example of Anti-SJW's. Practically everything they want is edgelord level shit and any attempt to cater to them is to destroy your reputation in the eyes of the public.

• Worse even you do cater to them and it only causes them to stir into a further frenzy, like sharks that smell blood in the water.

This sentence is incomprehensible, its meaning known only to the brainlet who wrote it.

• SJW's are malignant whiners at best and social terrorists at worst. And like all terrorists, the best way to deal with them is to never give in to their demands, especially when their demands are not ground into any kind of reality and based entirely on emotion.

Says the little bitch who keeps editing the page because they don't like what it says. Can't find a good argument to use against the page? Just delete it all because it doesn't agree with you. -- Triacom (talk) 04:30, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

but someone is "wrong" on the Internet and That's No Good™ don't you see??? --LGX-000 (talk) 07:23, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Ok, Genuine Question Here

What I don't understand is this. Clearly, there are a few SJWs (I have a few problems with this term, but I will ignore those for the sake of this discussion) who take things too far. There are people like that in any group. What I don't understand is why we say that SJWs and /pol/luters are equivalent. Isn't there a key distinction between people who may be taking things too far but who have good intentions and people who are FUCKING NAZIS!? Like if one day the all the people on /pol/ were given complete and utter control of the government, with no checks and balances to oppose them, what do you think would happen? I am pretty sure that most of my Jewish or Black or Muslim friends would be dead, and considering that as a transwoman, my odds of being raped or physically assaulted at some point in my life are already about 1 in 2, I have a feeling that I would not be doing too well in this scenario either. Now suppose you took the SJWs on tumblr and did the same thing with them. What do you think would happen? I would imagine that whatever they do, it will be better than if /pol/ and the alt-right is in charge. I mean, it's right in the name: Social Justice Warrior.

TL;DR: why are we depicting SJWs as being just as bad as /pol/ when /pol/ is literally FUCKING NAZIS!

Because no, it wouldn't be better. Many of the SJWs are FUCKING COMMUNISTS, aka the people that have killed more than the Nazis ever did (and before you come back at me claiming I must be a Nazi if I said that, I'm not, I'm a Centrist. Nazis are scum, as are far leftists).

Just because their name sounds good, it doesn't mean they are. Anyone from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea would confirm that for you. --58.162.223.230 02:00, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

The "Communists killed more people" line is a bad point of comparison. Remember that the Nazis were in power for 12 years, six of those years was them consolidating their position and feeding Germany their worldview and prepping for war and were limited to within Germany, with their dominion over europe being even shorter given the invasion of France and the rollback after Barbarosa failed. During that timespan they wiped out about 30 million civilians. Compare that with Stalin which was in power for more than twice as long and killed between 6-9 million of his own people, and that was the USSR at it's absolute worst. Mao's figures were higher due to famine but China also had more people. This is not whitewashing the USSR or Mao, but the saliant point is that the Nazis set out with systematic extermination as an end goal (the Holocaust, Generalplan Ost) and had a limited window to do it's vile deeds before it was ultimately stopped and stacking up bodies is not the best way to determine who's worse than who.

But that aside, most SJW stuff has nothing to do with Revolutionary Marxism/Marxist Leninism at any level beyond the superficial. It's not about class warfare or violent revolution or seizing control of the means of production. We're talking about people who want certain ideas promoted in the media such as inclusiveness, avoiding stereotypes and whatnot who sometimes get support from people in existing capitalist framwoks.--A Walrus (talk) 22:44, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

I am a right-leaning person and I actually think that most far-leftists are actually less evil on average than Nazis, but are more dangerous. I believe that most of the far leftists responsible for the atrocities like what happened in the USSR and what is currently happening in countries like Venezuela and North Korea do not actually believe in the ideas of leftism and are only concerned with personal power. The common people who support them are mostly not evil, they are just heavily brainwashed by false promises that supporting those dictators will make their lives better, or they are simply too afraid to defy them. Nazis are much worse. It wasn't just the dictators who were evil, the common people were evil too and wanted their dictators to commit those atrocities. This is part of reason why the far left is more dangerous than the far right. The far right openly embraces evil and hatred, while the far left is run by villains who make promises of wanting to help everyone but really are filled with hatred for anyone who disagrees with them. Nazis are easy to thwart because they are true evil. Far leftists are a mixture of evil and misguided people and so they are harder to fight against.--2602:306:B88B:FB60:F09F:B872:86DE:7182 02:42, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

You might want to read up on horseshoe theory (and the actual history of the Third Reich, the Nazis hid a lot of their shadier shit from the people until they were in a position to start hanging everyone who spoke out against them). Put simply, the extremes on both sides are more closely related to each other than their moderate cousins. And I've yet to hear of a single tyrant or despot who didn't sincerely believe that he was doing anything but the best possible thing for his people, in this era or any other. The exceptions exist only in Saturday morning cartoons, and "evil" out here in the real world is very much dependent on where you stand at any given time.

But in any case, a handful of people grumbling on the Internet about how a faceless corporation portrays its characters are not even remotely capable of anything on the scale that Hitler, Stalin, Mao, or their kin have managed to do and do not possess any inclination to do so either. And Anon #2 (or so I must call you because SIGN YOUR POSTS, DUMBASS), it is increasingly common that many "centrists" are in fact alt-righters using the term as a flimsy cover, I could tell because of your false equivalence of SJWs with Stalinist communists despite their only ties existing only in the minds of a few paranoid individuals. And let's ignore the fact that a lot of other communists didn't approve of any of the shit the USSR was doing either, Trotsky could've told you that before he got an ice pick rammed up his eye socket. I swear, it's like I'm the only person on this site who didn't sleep through their high school history lessons. --Newerfag (talk) 02:56, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

My favorite part is when people trot out the idea that all leftist are part of some great big Communist Hivemind right alongside the usual rhetoric of "the left eat their own" which... cognitive dissonance much? Almost as if they're not as ideologically uniform as you might think. Shit, we've established they're not even uniformly communist, nor are commies uniformly leftist, but then that'd inconvenience the narrative. --LGX-000 (talk) 15:02, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

From what I've learned, any time anybody ever says "I am a centrist" it's just code for "I'm on the right." If it wasn't, then you wouldn't find all of the 'centrists' giving right-wing speakers a platform, parroting all of the right-wing talking points, and not giving left-wing speakers the time of day. -- Triacom (talk) 18:52, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

It's that the left wing speakers don't have anything to contribute. There's been studies; when asked to answer questions like the opposition, conservatives are better able to answer questions as liberals would than liberals can answer questions as conservatives would, because conservatives understand the liberal viewpoint more than liberals understand the conservative viewpoint. Left wing speakers keep beating out the same notes from the same harp, we've heard it all before. Piroko (talk) 20:02, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

They only have nothing to contribute if you refuse to listen. If they never had a point then we wouldn't have the section on the main page that explains they do occasionally have a point. Also what you're referencing isn't a study. -- Triacom (talk) 20:38, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

You may have misunderstood some of the statements I made. Although that is my fault because I worded them poorly. When I said that Nazis openly embrace evil, what I actually meant was they openly embrace racism extreme nationalism and other evil stuff like that. And also some of the generalizations I made weren't very clear. I actually have read about horseshoe theory and I agree with a lot of it, but I actually prefer to avoid using it because I think it can be misleading sometimes. Leftist extremism and Nazism are both full of evil people, but they aren't the same kind of evil. Nazism is a more destructive kind of evil, while far leftism is a more deceitful kind of evil spawned from some ideas that in theory are good but don't work in practice because human evil or incompetence always ruins them. No good person would support Nazism if they actually understood what it is, but there are good people who support far-leftism because they believe in the good ideas that inspired far-leftism and don't expect evil people to ruin it.--107.136.191.182 03:19, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

The centrist comment was by me. And while yes, Trotsky and such weren't evil people, the overwhelming number of communist countries ended up falling to insane despots. Communism is great in theory, but collapses in practice. As for the whole 'false equivalency', need I remind you that the modern far left in America literally claims to be Communist while bashing anyone who doesn't agree with their own ideals?

TL;dr: The alt-right and /pol/ are absolutely horrible people and, at the moment, worse than their equivalents on the left. But just because one side is utterly evil doesn't mean the others are immediately good. --58.162.223.230 03:24, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Nobody is saying they are good just because their opposition is really shitty. The reason that they get equated to another a lot is because they both have a habit of trying to ruin what other people enjoy, that's the main reason. Remember this image? That applies to both if you just swap what's being shit out and what's being said. Now that I've gone over that though, /pol/ is definitely worse in this aspect as they generally have less self-awareness than SJW's, which is one hell of an accomplishment. They don't even realize what they're doing, and if they become a target of actions like what were done to them then they cry and run away, learning nothing from the event. -- Triacom (talk) 18:52, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

No. No, Triacom, we are FULLY aware what we're doing. When I call Trump the God Emperor, I fucking mean it. I absolutely want him to unleash the thunderwarriors and bring about planetary grimdark. Why? BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THE OTHER SIDE TO WIN. Period. The only reason you don't call us bad people, the only reason you stoop to pretending we don't know exactly what we're saying and doing, is because you know WE DO NOT FUCKING CARE. You can call us Nazis, you can call us whatever the fuck you want and it has NO power over us. And that terrifies you.Piroko (talk) 02:02, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Piroko, you need to calm the fuck down. I was, and still am a conservative. But generally speaking, I avoid forcing my politics where they don't belong. But buddy, I also know that wanton for some Authoritarian figure to destroy the left, and I still regret it. The left is not inherently evil. I think you need to take some time to think about what you said above.

You want an entire group of people purged for simply believing differently than you. That's oppression. That's the opposite of what you should believe. And don't try to pull some "there is no compromise with the left" or whatever, because that's crap. Is called extremism. Fuck, the Nazis used it, North Korea uses it, and ISIS shitheads literally survive due to it. You need to really think about whether or not this is the person you want to be: angry, hateful, pissed, or if you want to take the road less traveled.

I don't expect a response. Hell, I don't expect you to care. But it settles my morality to have at least warned you the path you have set yourself on. --Lord Of The Lemmings (talk) 02:35, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

They started it. And I have no reason to take the high road. That's not how deterrence theory works. They go low, you go lower, it stops when they stop.Piroko (talk) 21:17, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Really? They started it? You're using a 4-year old's argument? Maybe it might work if it was remotely accurate, nothing was happening until the edgelords "started it" or do you not know why we're arguing in the first place? -- Triacom (talk) 22:41, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Yes. If one side uses nuclear weapons, and you have them too, you fucking use them. Because they started it.Piroko (talk) 00:16, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

First of all, that's not what deterrence is, that's mutually assured destruction. Secondly you clearly don't know who started what, because the people you're arguing against didn't start this shitshow. -- Triacom (talk) 00:20, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

The threat of mutually assured destruction IS deterrence. They attacked me, I attack them back. I know I didn't attack them first. Done and done. Piroko (talk) 00:25, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

There you go, you figured it out! Now you know that nuclear deterrence and mutually assured destruction are two related but separate ideas, congrats. In this case however, nobody attacked you before you arrived, you just decided to jump in for your own reasons so don't pretend like you were wronged in some way. -- Triacom (talk) 00:31, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

No, I actually was attacked by SJWs in the real world for no reason.Piroko (talk) 00:35, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Who gives a shit? It didn't happen on the wiki. -- Triacom (talk) 00:55, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

And that random youtube video of someone declaring war in Futurama didn't really do anything to verify what you were claiming. Are you sure that someone wasn't just attacking you because of your charming personality? TiamatRoar (talk) 03:09, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

It puzzles me, that's what I'd say the anti-SJW's do. When they cry about something like safe spaces but they're only doing it in places and with people already favourable to them, I get puzzled at how they don't realize they're literally in a safe space while crying about safe spaces. I've seen anti-SJW's complain about money that people donate to others (calling them idiots for doing so), and then they'll end their video/stream thanking people who donate to them and plugging their Patreon. I've seen anti-SJW's complain about "triggered snowflakes" but the second anyone brings up something like new pronouns they all lose their minds. They're hypocrites, that's what they are and they're completely blind to the context of their own actions, that's why I don't care for them in the slightest, same with the SJW's. If you consider yourself one of them then I don't want power over you, why would I? It would be like bragging that I have power over a small anthill, except the ants are more productive than anti-SJW's will ever be. -- Triacom (talk) 02:14, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

I am a conservative too and I understand how much anger you must feel because of America's shifting to the left make you feel unsafe. I don't feel safe either with our country shifting to socialism, but what really scares me a whole lot more is the hatred and toxicity taking over politics. Hatred makes it easy for wicked people to control you. It causes people to lose their self-awareness and be driven to destroy what they think is evil while not recognizing the evil of their own side. I am extremely concerned that the increased acceptance of political hatred in America could easily lead to our country being taken over by a demagogue far worse than Donald Trump, and they could come from the far left or the far right. That is a much worse scenario that America just getting taken over by socialism. With less political hatred, America would simply bounce back to the right after seeing that socialism isn't working, but with a lot of political hatred, America could collapse into civil war and never recover.--2602:306:B88B:FB60:182A:ADFA:751F:FA5E 03:27, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

It's such a stupid hill to die on too. Imagine for a second there is a civil war, is this the kind of way you want to be remembered? "Yes Timmy, many brave souls fought and died so that other people wouldn't use certain pronouns. The only pronouns we want people to use are cucks/retards/faggots, and all the others aren't good because we didn't make them up." You also shouldn't use 'socialism' as a catch-all term for suggested changes like universal health care, it's just a scare word that's being used to prevent very necessary changes for anyone in danger of losing everything they had because they need to go to a hospital for something like a car crash or cancer treatments. -- Triacom (talk) 19:03, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

I don't want universal health care. I genuinely, literally, want poor people to suffer and starve in the streets like they did in the 1800's. Why? Because the removal of social safety nets illustrates why I am a better and more successful person than they are. Life being shit for people who are down makes me look better.Piroko (talk) 21:24, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Oh, so you don't get it. Poor people are not the only ones dying, everyone below the upper class are the ones dying. The only thing that separates you from a person crippled by medical debt is a car accident, that's it. -- Triacom (talk) 22:44, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Fuck you. If I was crippled, I'd commit suicide. I have dignity and a minimum acceptable quality of life.Piroko (talk) 00:14, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

As I said, a single car accident is all that it takes for you to join them, especially since you want them to die. You're putting an awful lot of faith in both yours and other people's driving that you won't be on the road ahead of an drunk (or otherwise impaired) driver, and any system that runs purely on luck is not a good system. -- Triacom (talk) 00:18, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Yes I acknowledge that I am putting a lot of faith in me. I don't want a "good" system. I want maximum upside for maximum downside, not the mediocrity of average outcomes. Piroko (talk) 00:25, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

You're putting a lot of faith in yourself? Are you literally every driver on the road? No? Then you're not putting a lot of faith in yourself, you're trusting everyone else not to mess up. If you want the maximum upside vs maximum downside, then you should sell everything you own and buy lottery tickets. If you're not doing that, then you don't want maximum upside vs maximum downside, you want average outcomes. -- Triacom (talk) 00:34, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Dear Mr. Warboss, let's work out a good deal! You don't want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people, and I don't want to be responsible for destroying the Orkish economy - and I will. I've already given you a little sample with respect to Pastor Warzug. I have worked hard to solve some of your problems. Don't let the galaxy down. You can make a great deal. General Yarrick is willing to negotiate with you, and he is willing to make concessions that they would never have made in the past. I am confidentially enclosing a copy of his letter to me, just received. History will look upon you favorably if you get this done the right and humane way. It will look upon you forever as the chaos god if good things don't happen. Don't be a tough guy. Don't be a fool! I will call you later. Sincerely, God Emperor Trump. TiamatRoar (talk) 04:28, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

I am perfectly fine with being responsible for a lot of things as long the mess does splatter my boots.Piroko (talk) 00:18, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Whoosh. TiamatRoar (talk) 04:22, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Gee, sure hope you don't expect to be regarded with integrity after outright admitting you'll side with anyone just to Own The Libs!! --LGX-000 (talk) 07:22, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Maybe I should make an account on this website. For some reason my IP address keep randomly changing every few hours so it can be hard to tell which posts are mine. Anyways, I have one other thing I want to make clear, I actually don't believe SWJs are the same thing as far-leftist extremists, but their is a lot of overlap between the two groups. SJWism is more about being way too aggressive with pushing political correctness onto other people. You can be far leftist, leftist, centrist, or even on the right and be an SJW. I was actually accused being an SJW once when I got into an argument with some people who thought it was impossible to have no desire for sexual intercourse without being mentally damaged in some way. So I guess the comments I made on my opinion on far-leftism were kind of off topic.--107.136.191.182 03:38, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I was definitely off topic. I didn't completely read the question that started this discussion until just now so the stuff I said wasn't really answering the question.--2602:306:B88B:FB60:F09F:B872:86DE:7182 03:43, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Yes, you should. In any case, the experience you had should have been a sign that the "SJW" term is all but meaningless. And for the record, I believe that what you call "political correctness" is just a very fancy way of saying "politeness" that got too much baggage attached to it for its own good. Also, I know an actual person who identified as far-left, and he's told me that the far left has never not been mired in internal conflict. Acting as if they all agreed on something couldn't possibly be further from the truth. If they couldn't even agree on anything when Marx himself was still alive, what makes you think that they'd be different now? --Newerfag (talk) 03:53, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

I think that the Satanic Panic existed whether or not it was indicative of mainstream Christianity or not. Likewise, social justice warriors and their crusade of the week certainly exist whether or not they have taken over whatever. This page seemed to simmer in a state of 'bullshit homeostasis' for months before this argument flared up... and it now seems to be back how it was at that point. So, good.--Namefag (talk) 00:39, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

If the recent edit wars and talk about this page have taught us anything, is that: a) skub is eternal b) amerifags will never learn that they're not the center of the universe c) all this shit needs to be nuked, and all mentions of SJW should link to either skub or troll. --Taufag (talk) 07:51, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

• • Much as I agree, is there any kind of consensus we can use to get politicsposting out with fifty fatguys going UHM AKSHUALLY in eternal edit wars?

Again, perma-protecting it would solve the problem. Also Taufag, it's a bitch move to edit what other people say on the talk page to make it look like they're saying something different. -- Triacom (talk) 19:03, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

On Article Deletion

This is absolutely a magnet for shitheads to vent, mostly right-wingers stuck in 2016 and /pol/fags with nothing better to do. However, it is absolutely relevant, both to /tg/ and tabletop in general. Still not a day goes by without there being accusations of ESS JAY DUBS fucking up 4chan, and there are legitimate complaints to be made developers resorting to tokenism to appease the ravenous crowd of suddenly-interested non-consumers. This article generally does a good job at explaining the history of the use of the term and its relevance to /tg/. Editblocking was absolutely a great thing to do, but deletion seems counterproductive to me. --Kracked Mynd (talk) 12:06, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

I gave the article a re-read and fuck me, it's really self-aware and predicts everything that's happening on this page. The definition stays objective. The examples are fine. *What Do?* could use an minor edit, as "nothing" is contrary to the paragraph - it suggests to "do your own thing", instead. The skubbiest part would be "do they have a point?" - it's a fuckhueg (around 40% of the article, by a glance) essay that will piss off majority of the readers, regardless of the answer. Deleting that last section and permanenlty locking the article might be the final solution (save for adding more examples in the future, if needed). Should people try to bring it back, or add anything even veering towards a personal opinion, ban them --Taufag (talk) 12:34, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Said essay is also critical for informing people that ESS JAY DUBS are not in fact doing it just to censor or whatever it is that they're supposedly going to do to media. Removing that would make this just another screed against the big bad blue haired Boogeyman. --Newerfag (talk) 14:07, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

AKA the other reason I put so much into it - what's the point of casting them as a potential Threat to Things We Like[TM] and then conveniently skimping on details that would put the nature of said "threat" in context? The problem is, as seen here, the more we acknowledge the depth of the matter, the more reactionary hornet's nests we kick up. --LGX-000 (talk) 15:08, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

How else would you go about it without just sweeping that nuance under the rug? It seems to me that the best solution there would be to just restrict editing as we have now so said hornets will find that they cannot sting. --Newerfag (talk) 15:20, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

I can see the case for that, certainly - but then how can I not, I put a lot into trying to rehab this thing and make it somewhat more objective, which is why I'm surprised no one's thrown the SJW accusation at me personally (although I suppose that's a benefit of speaking from personal experience not talking completely out of my ass). ANYWAY, the next hill to climb there would be figuring out what bits can be properly "de-personal-essayed" and integrated elsewhere into the article. --LGX-000 (talk) 13:56, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

If this keeps up, I wouldn't be surprised if we suffered a minor raid from /pol/ in the near future. --Lord Of The Lemmings (talk) 15:10, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

If they do, fuck 'em. Anyone who actually reads the article will come to the same conclusion you lot have here. The skubbiest part is the part that asks if they have a point, and it has to be addressed no matter how much it sucks to address it. As I said before, perma-protecting the page would prevent something like this from happening again, and if /pol/ wants to come in with their hypocritical bullshit then that'll prevent any of it from sticking. -- Triacom (talk) 19:03, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

I'm fairly sure they already did.--Namefag (talk) 00:05, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

It's not a necessary article, but shoving politics into it like you're doing now (Kracked Mynd) won't do anything but add more fuel to it. There's a number of people equally annoyed with the other side of all this. I'd say just zap it entirely. Whatever your beliefs are this shit ain't relevant to /tg/ or any game discussion. Keeping it up and arguing about it in politically-charged ways will only prompt more shitposters, right and left, to get angry at each other. There's enough platforms more relevant than 1d4chan to do that on. TheBadageBoys (talk) 22:58, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

"shoving politics into it" ...did ...did you think SJW was an apolitical term somehow...? Like I get what you were trying to say possibly, but... --LGX-000 (talk) 00:55, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

In a sense yeah. There's a lot of people right, left, and center who don't like that crowd. It's got political connotations for both detractors and defenders but it's ultimately not exclusive to any political ideology I'd say. At least, not as blatantly as saying "mostly right-wing/left-wing shitheads" would cause problems with it. TheBadageBoys (talk) 22:41, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

I don't think LGX-000 was talking about the "crowd." Nobody likes whiny college grads, left or right, but the term SJW is now used pretty much exclusively by conservatives and pretty much exclusively as a snarl word. The fact is most every vandal to this page has been some stupid /pol/fag who gets angry and feels the need to express their toddler rage by messing with the article. And just to reiterate what I initially said, "SJW" is still thrown around quite a bit on /tg/ (although noticeably less so than it used to be), and there are pretty much daily threads about morality being shoved into games, authors creating dumb token characters, and non-fans of a franchise getting assmad about not being represented (or, more often, getting assmad about someone else not getting represented). So yes, this article is probably not absolutely necessary, but it is absolutely relevant and helpful to the average reader. --Kracked Mynd (talk) 11:16, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Spot on in that regard - I wasn't exactly speaking to matters of it being exclusive to any particular ideology, but it already has political connotations by default, and acknowledging responses that arise as a result of those connotations isn't "shoving" politics into it so much as pointing out what already existed (though ultimately specifying who we'd "think" would cause problems with it doesn't help much - there'd be many different reasons for people taking issue, and now all of them will be as tunnel-visioned and predictable as the bunch we have so far. --LGX-000 (talk) 14:55, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Well, to start, I suspect It'd be best I state my own allegiances first, lest accusations are thrown right, left, and middle. As stated on my own page, I'm a devout True Neutral Paladin of NoFuningus, and to me, everything is Serious Business. Further, I'm an actual, true-to-life academic philosopher (trained in the analytical school, but by matter of research, more interested in what is classically considered continental philosophy - even if I wouldn't call Derrida and his ilk "philosophers" if my life depended on it). I mention this, not only to try and make a point out of my own competence at neutrality as such, and as regards the matter(s) at hand, but also show that I entirely lack any sort of self-awareness, and have my head so far stuck up my own arse, I've folded in on myself and become a singularity (of narcissism). I also wantonly appeal to authority, so long as I am the authority, of course. As such, I mostly stand outside of the debate, as I'm - quite literally, which isn't uncommon amongst my kin - an anti-democrat - and, to blow the minds of the amerifags around (and I have to say, good one earlier, Taufag), economic socialist. Indeed, I'm anti-democracy on the authority-scale, but pro-socialism on the economy-scale, and at the same time, a libertarian on a personal - as opposed to intra-personal - political level (neo-Plationian Elitist, if you must know). Further, to pre-empt any amerifag personal attacks, no, that does not make me neither Chinese, nor a communist; it's literally right there in the name, "socialist", not "communist" (and due to my own befuddlement and curiosity, I have to say, to the earlier non-namesigned comment (by 2602:306:B88B:FB60:182A:ADFA:751F:FA5E 03:27, on 17 October 2019 (UTC)), that... Socialism "doesn't work"? Ever heard of, say, quite literally all of Scandinavia - which, in the UN index of citizen happiness, again quite literally, all beat the US by a country mile? (Turns out tax-paid/"free" education, up to and including university-level, tax-paid/"free" healthcare, social safety-nets, and five weeks of paid vacation per year mandated by law, makes people somewhat more agreeable... Who knew?)).

Now, all of those ridiculous and ultimate useless things being said...

The discussion on the talk-page here has derailed immensely, and almost ironically, turned into an actual political debate. I'm not necessarily pro-deletion; I am, however, pro-neutrality; as has been said before, the article is inherently political, yes, but not inherently leaning towards either side of the traditional political spectrum. Thusly, whilst I acknowledge that the majority of the essay on the page leans somewhat left, I don't think that is really the problem; but rather, the fact that is explicitly takes a side - and a pro-SJW side - in having a section called "Do they have a point?", and ending it all by saying, in essence, that "Yes, yes they do" (and even the excusing part at the end of the TL;DR is, well, excusing; it states, in a rather sly way, that even the "bad seeds" are actually right, they just make their points poorly; thusly, SJWs at large, are correct, and the opposition, if any, is wrong). As such, I will now make a change - and proclaim, loud and clear for all to see, here (again, singularity of narcissism with no self-awareness) - which simply changes the TL;DR/ending to be "YYMW" ("Your Mileage May Wary" for all my newfags out there), and discusses both sides of the coin a bit more, without explicitly taking one side. If this is disagreed upon by anyone, I recommend you revert it, followed by the only rational course of action; i.e., finding me IRL and stabbing me to death with an icicle. incassum (talk) 15:49, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Or modify it, as needed. The way I see it, it's mainly meant to provide a counterpoint to the common 4chan opinion that the entire SJW ideology and its source are pure evil, and while there are a few who could be called genuinely fanatical among them that point could be made about any ideology on Earth. I will make a change trying to do what you're planning to do first, and if that is insufficient you can make further additions. --Newerfag (talk) 16:04, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Never mind, you seem to have beat me there. Still, I cut it down because it was way too big to be a TL;DR summary. --Newerfag (talk) 16:13, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

It would seem that you tried using "Quick Attack", but failed due to my "V-create", Newerfag - but, followed by you using "Cut", which was super-effective. Now, I changed just the one word, so as to avoid it saying that they are right (which was the whole point of changing it to "YMMW", however much I failed at making it TL;DR (which I arguably did)) again. "Merely" being a counterpoint to popular opinion is highly reactionary, which I tend to find is newer good, as even at the best of times, it only serves to create counter-counter-reactions, and so on and so forth, ad nauseam. Hopefully the state of the TL;DR as of my latest edit is something we all find agreeable. incassum (talk) 16:40, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Hm, I think my newest change works better- when I said "wrong", I meant it as "incorrect" (i.e. the points they make are reflective of issues that exist and aren't simply made up out of whole cloth) rather than it being indicative of any sort of value judgment. And it's not like the people who would be likely to add counter-counter-reactions will care about nuance in the first place. --Newerfag (talk) 18:17, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

And upon further consideration, I decided the whole rhetorical question was an invalid one to begin with- it lends itself too readily to a yes-or-no answer and falsely implies that it's a judgment of who's "right" or "wrong". I've re-titled it to "An Alternate Perspective". --Newerfag (talk) 18:36, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Personally I'm not a fan of calling it "An Alternate Perspective" because it's not really an alternate perspective. It doesn't give new insights that are at odd with the rest of the page, and it also makes it sound like it's going to be arguing against what the page as a whole says, when it's really not. I'm having trouble figuring out a better topic title than "Is there a point?" Or something along those lines similar to what we already had, and I'm just not getting one. It also doesn't help that "An Alternate Perspective" is really a nothing title, it says nothing about the section it's supposed to represent and I really do think anything else would be a better option, even the question of "Do SJW's have a point?" -- Triacom (talk) 04:50, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Tell you what, that actually works way better. I like. --LGX-000 (talk) 02:03, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Approaching this without bias, regardless of our personal beliefs, is the way to go. We shouldn't be defending SJWs, or attacking them. No sides should be taken no matter if you're right, left, or in between. That said, I still feel the article has no purpose, or could be trimmed down considerable. Incassum is correct that in its current incarnation it takes a decidedly pro-SJW side, which is unacceptable, though as would be an anti-SJW side. /tg/ doesn't profess any particular ideology, political wing, etc. We talk about games and judge games. What you believe about real-world politics doesn't mean shit in those discussions. For that reason, I still say nuke the article entirely, because ultimately you're going to get angry people who claim it's just a shitpost topic for /pol/fags or tumblrinas, and it's just going to make people mad at each other because no one will ever like the content of it. If it must absolutely be kept up, rewording it to be as sparse and neutral as possible is the way to go. It could all be reduced to one single section even. SJWs are a source of intense skub and either the best or worst people ever depending on your political beliefs. That alone could make the entire article. TheBadageBoys (talk) 02:43, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

As someone who is absolutely biased (both having been called an SJW (on here and the boards) and putting a bit of time into cleaning up and maintaining this and several related articles (/pol/ and Female Space Marines come to mind)), I'd like to attempt to explain exactly why I think this article is explicitly useful (rather than merely relevant) and why it kinda needs to be so long winded. Again, I am absolutely biased, but being the person that desperately wanted to trim down certain parts (primarily the tl;dr) a minute ago for a lack of usefulness, I might kinda sorta understand your reasoning.

First, on its usefulness. Back to relevance (hypocritical fool, I know), if there are constant skubbed views on both the board and the wiki, it deserves an explanation. What an SJW is, and why people get assmad over crucifying or defending them, could absolutely be reduced to a paragraph or two. What couldn't, however, is the context and complexity of the issue. For the depth of context, I might redirect you to Talk:/pol/, but or the sheer complexity and depth of the issue, it would probably be best to reread the "Do They Have a Point" section. I have hidden an exerpt below this paragraph for ease of reading and to help keep this ridiculous fucking talk page slightly tidier.

I may act like a shithead (actually, I think I kind of am), but I do genuinely think through what I do, and I try not to let my biases not get the best of me. --Kracked Mynd (talk) 11:31, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
