Found the token ace

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

Honest question, is the term "social justice warrior" meant to be a compliment or something you call yourself and not an insult?

I always thought it was a descriptor for the Tumblr types who are out of touch with reality and actual politics.

it's kind of like 'nigger' where it can be a hideous insult or a term of camaraderie depending on who it's coming from and who it's going to

this is the whitest comment I've ever read.

no one calls each other "nigger" as a term of endearment, unless they're /b/-style edgelords.

i'd call you a nigger but i'm absolutely sure you're whiter than jerry falwell's corpse

niggas isn't the same as niggers, anon, this is basic shit, pull your head out of your ass.

or actually spend some time around us in real life and not just on the internet

and to be fair, it's still super awkward when a well meaning white person, usually a young kid, uses nigga. usually need to have a few gentle words about how that can get their asses handed to them so don't say it out loud.

but it's really definitely not the same. when a black person calls another black person a nigger, it's to point out they're being a shitty person and enforcing stereotypes. it is completely contextually different.

i'm amazed people fell for this

(Anonymous) 2016-01-07 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
because multiple white people in real life say this with complete sincerity.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-07 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
It's meaningless because it's both, and the way people define it differs so wildly from person to person.

In some circles, something as simple as wanting people not to use "gay" as a shorthand word for "something I don't like" makes you an SJW. In others, you're not an SJW until you're sending death threats to people who draw non-diverse fanart of characters that already have a canon race.

It is completely and utterly worthless as a term.

kind of like 'neckbeard' that way

(Anonymous) 2016-01-07 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
it used to mean someone who got offended at the drop of a hat and mostly used social justice as a tool to be a bully.

nowadays, it doesn't really mean anything, it's a generic insult toward anyone you don't like who espouses a sociological or political opinion anywhere to the left of pinochet.

depends who you ask. it's used both ways, with varying degrees of irony.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-07 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
originally an insult, now being, er, reclaimed as a reaction to 3edgy douchelords using it to mean "not a 3edgy douchelord"

(Anonymous) 2016-01-07 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I first encountered it as a proud self-descriptor from some really OTT types but now it means "anyone who says it's not okay to say slurs and be a jackass"
