> [@jsgoddess](#): > > Weird thing about forests. They kinda hafta be together. If you point out a tree in Michigan and a tree in South Africa and a tree in Jamaica and a tree in Chile and a tree in Russia and a tree in Japan, you don’t have a forest. You have six trees. Probably not even the same species. That sounds like Stephen Wright’s seashell collection, which he keeps scattered on beaches around the world. ---

I don’t leave her, but that’s because she is actually a child, not just acting like one. ---

If saying racist shit is the thing you want to do, it’s really hard to argue that you became racist because someone called you one. I don’t disagree, but at the same time, it depends what the punishment is. Previously, saying Actual Racist Stuff would likely earn one a reputation as something of a dickhead and maybe a black eye or two. Nowadays, saying Not Intended To Be Racist But Taken Than Way By The Offenderati Stuff means there’s a social media angry mob after the perpetrator within short order, with dire consequences including but not limited to losing their job. I’m not for a moment defending Actual Racism of the Nazi/KKK/Apartheid variety, but there’s a world of difference between that and calling for the (apparently successful) boycott of a British Colonial Era-themed cafe because someone didn’t like the decor or the idea. ---

That is what “SJW” _means_ these days. That is how the term is used in almost every context. It is a term by douchebags for douchebags used to demean things that _aren’t_ douchebags. Personally, I think a lot of it comes from this refusal to believe that their interests aren’t exclusively white male interests. They figure, for racist and sexist reasons, that others not like them aren’t interested in what they like, so their inclusion is just shoehorning interference. “Oh, girls like Candy Crush and Words With Friends, not Mass Effect. So their complaints about representation is meaningless intrusion into the stuff I love.” “Oh, those… dark skinned people are too busy playing basketball or shooting each other in drug wars to play video games, so why bother with what they think?” ---

> [@jsgoddess](#): > > I promise you, whether I had to climb a fence or just grab the sheep frolicking about on the village green, I DON’T FUCKING WANT A SHEEP. I’m not entirely sure how you got started on the sheep analogy, but just because you don’t want a sheep doesn’t mean other people don’t. Which I think comes back to the anti-Left backlash. The view from the Left seems to be “I don’t want one and not only should you not want one, you’re a horrible person for not wanting one as much as I don’t want one. And if you do want one, you’re one of the worst Hitlers ever.” ---

I’ll repost my initial statement, and you can figure out why what you’re saying is so fucking stupid. The argument that makes me laugh is when someone says something offensive then says that they’d get attacked in any case so “might as well be hanged for sheep as for a lamb.” Because the point of that idiom is that you shouldn’t let the punishment stop you from doing the thing you want to do because you’ll suffer the same whether you do it or not.

That’s THE ENTIRE FUCKING POINT OF MY POST. And yes, I will judge them as racists for SAYING RACIST SHIT. ---

That’s THE ENTIRE FUCKING POINT OF MY POST. And yes, I will judge them as racists for SAYING RACIST SHIT. And the point which remains unaddressed is “There’s a different between Actually Racist and People Looking For Things To Be Offended About.” Saying a black person must be a criminal is Actually Racist. Asking an Asian person who was born in that (not Asian) country where they’re from is Not Racist At All. The Left have an unfortunate habit of making people in the second example out to be as awful as the people in the first example. Thus, I can see how someone would take the view that if they’re going to be lambasted for expressing the Wrong Opinion they might as well flick the safety off and express a weapons-grade Wrong Opinion instead of keeping it to themselves or moderating their speech. ---

Not necessarily. Lots of people _think_ racist shit but have the sense to keep it to themselves. Being constantly told they’re awful for having _other_ opinions people don’t like triggers the “Well, everyone hates me anyway because [reasons], might as well say what I really think since they’re not going to hate me more!” I think you’re mistaking my understanding of how something could happen for condoning it, which is far from the case. ---

Remember what you said: > [@Martini\_Enfield](#): > > I’m not entirely sure how you got started on the sheep analogy, but just because you don’t want a sheep doesn’t mean other people don’t.

Actual Racism is not non-offensive or trivial. Me: People can’t say SJWs force them to say racist things. People who say racist things want to say them. You: But they want to say them.

You: Oh, I’m not condoning saying racist things, I’m just saying the view from the _Left_ seems to be that you shouldn’t say racist things. And I’m going to say it in such a way to make it clear that that’s THEIR view, not MY view. But I’m totally against saying racist things, for sure. But the _Left_ says you shouldn’t say them. Tsk. You didn’t explicitly say “I condone saying racist things.” You just derided the left for not being okay with saying racist things. And you said that the backlash against the left was for them not being okay with saying racist things.
