"Anti-SJW" YouTubers

Post Reply New Topic

Hi all. Today I want to talk about SJWs.

To start, we need to define what an SJW is. Some people assert that "SJW" is a slur thrown at progressives, but I disagree. There are some "progressives" in this world who value style over substance. For example, there are some "progressives" who think that Clinton is better than Sanders just because Clinton is female. There are some progressives that focus more on what Trump says than what he does. I find that "SJW" is a useful term whenever I want to describe hyper-sensitive, sensationalist "progressives" who value style over substance, think that "words are violence", and rely on cheap clickbait.

I want to emphasize that not every progressive is an SJW. For example, I don't consider Black Lives Matter to be an SJW organisation because they are fighting against large-scale murder. I do, however, use the term "SJW" to describe people who whine about the supposed lack of black protagonists in movies. First of all, anyone who takes movies seriously is immature. Second, there aren't very many black people in the West anyway. They're called a minority for a reason.

"There's black people in New York, LA, Chicago, ... like ... ten places."
- Chris Rock

Of course, I try not to give the SJWs too much attention ... because they don't really matter. Yeah ... some people are mad about stuff that doesn't matter. Who cares?

I'm making this thread because there are plenty of YouTube users who call themselves "anti-SJWs". Basically, anti-SJWs are people who have devoted their entire lives to the war against the SJW menace. I'm making this thread because I think that these professional anti-SJWs are just as idiotic as the SJWs themselves.

"... but the SJWs are taking over our society!"

No they are not. Most of these SJWs are in the middle and lower classes. In America, the middle and lower classes have been completely disenfranchised by the plutocratic machine. These SJWs possess no real political power. Ignore them.

"They're ruining video games!"

Oh, grow up. Most of those jiggly anime boobie games are still legal. Of course, the creations of mankind can never surpass the beauty of the natural world. The natural world is being destroyed at an alarming rate and you are more concerned about video game politics? Grow the Hell up. Video game politics has always been, and will always be, a distraction. It's a whole lot of nothing. I don't think that playing video games is inherently bad, but I think that "gamer culture" has become a hideous cesspool of materialism, immaturity and anti-intellectualism. You can give a video game realistic blood and guts, but it's still just a game and you are a big baby if you think that it is any more than just a game.

These SJWs are all bark and no bite. They thrive on the attention that you give them. Don't give them any attention. Focus on things that actually matter, such as the military-industrial complex, the economy and the state of the natural world.

SJW bashing can be fun from time to time, but some of these anti-SJWs take their "job" very seriously. That's when anti-SJW-ism becomes just as cancerous as SJW-ism itself.

Potentially a good topic...

I am a little out of my element here so apart from my mandatory sniping at you (it is an existential necessity after all), I will be activating learning/questioning mode predominantly...or not...

While SJW’s are not in positions of power thier thinking has infiltrated influential cooperations. The James Demore situation at Google is the most notable. Other companies boycott states or drop spokespeople deemed triggering activities/hate speech. The assumption is that once they graduate they will “grow up’. Maybe that is wholly or partially true but that is an assumption.

Some bad things should be ignored in order not to give attention seekers attention. With other things they are big enough that ignoring them in hope they will go away is a form of denial. I believe SJW/regressive/illiberal left falls into the latter category.

Some of the anti SJW videos like the “alt right” itself in some ways mirror images of the things claim to hate. Many use humor to make their point and are very good at it. SJW videos are not videos are generally not funny by definition. SJW describes a personality type as much as anything else.

Yeah. Because it's just that simple, right? A million dollar industry where many fans, myself included, treat it as fulfilling hobby that doesn't harm anyone. But hey, maybe Leigh Alexander was right. Maybe gamers are just losers we can treat as "dead". We need to emerge from our mother's basement at some point to get some sunlight, eh?

Give me an effing break. You have the oversensitive, the censorious and the blindly puritanical making attempts to spread their "BUT MA DIVERSITUH" or "BUT THE WOMYNS" cancer (A infinitesimal minority, btw) into gaming (among other entertainment mediums) not knowing there is a vast subculture there of people who formed lasting communities upon playing some of the best games out there.

But, no, you go ahead tell the rest of those in the gaming world, THE F--ing MAJORITY, to "grow up" and act like sitting ducks to unjustified rapid-fire whining (all the while stating they should shut up their mouths about social representation in the movie, no less).

Know what you're talking about and apply some consistency. Yeesh.

Maybe I am not fully sure what an 'SJW' is as it doesn't exist in 'real world' conversations. It feels like the next in a long line of phrases and acronyms used by young, political debaters on the internet. These phrases are usually used by people fiercely on either side of the debate as catch alls or insults and very quickly end up completely meaningless.

SJW means "social justice warrior".

It's basically a funny term for people who treat mean language as a life-or-death thing. For example, people who constantly rant about the sexism and racism in the media ... but never say a damn thing about the military-industrial complex ... or anything else that actually kills human beings.

Deary me.

Firstly, and most importantly, you don't have to only care about one issue. Sensible people care about racism in both the justice system and the entertainment industry. Sure, the prison-industrial complex ruins more lives, and more directly, and so needs to be tackled more forcefully, but that doesn't mean that changing the media representation of ethnic minorities is unimportant. If black people are always portrayed as criminals rather than heroes, it shouldn't be surprising when people are more inclined to think of black people as criminals. When I was growing up, the go-to point of reference when someone mentioned they were autistic was Raymond Babbit from Rain Man. Now it's usually Sheldon Cooper. Media representation shapes how people think about the world and impacts upon people's lives.

Secondly, as of the 2010 census (which is now out of date), only 72% of Americans are white. Until very recently, far more than 72% of Hollywood blockbusters and Oscar-bait films had white leads - usually white men. That's not only unfair on the minority actors who are deprived of roles, but also on the people who are deprived of the opportunity to see people who look like them in major roles in films. Look at the cultural impact Black Panther has had. It is now the 10th highest grossing film of all time and the third-highest in America. So many black people have spoken about how important the film is to them. Seeing people like yourself in films or on TV is a really uplifting experience which people who aren't straight white neurotypical able-bodied men (i.e. most of us!) have largely been denied. Black Panther suggests that representation isn't simply a nice thing to have or morally necessary, but also good business sense.

The Chris Rock quote is nonsense fwiw (and pretty much intended that way, it's comedy after all). Most African-Americans live in the south. There are also about a billion black people in Africa, they're the majority in nearly every Caribbean country, and of course there are substantial minorities in much of western Europe and South America. There are more black people than white people - not that you'd know it from your TV screen! It's natural that Britain and America want to create content that reflects their national backgrounds, but both nations have substantial ethnic minorities who don't get proper representation.

The OP is a communist. So he's not going to think SJWs are taking over when they do things that move us closer to communism. And he's going to think the YouTubers are idiots because they vigorously oppose communism.

These are my favorite anti-SJW videos so far. Yes they have been posted before

I do not like the ones that are just compilations of people screaming. That got old by the 2nd time around and is really just bullying very fragile people.

Not everyone can see the links without quoting to reply...
In addition to inserting the youtube clip I also copy and past the link...

D'oh!
You corrected the problem before my post...

I don't think the OP is a communist.

Most SJWs vigorously oppose communism. SJWs have a huge variety of economic leanings.

From what I have seen, most SJWs don't even know what communism is.

Communism is all about fixing social problems through economic changes. Of course, SJWs think that patriarchy is responsible for every single bad thing that has ever happened. Most of them probably have a toddler-level idea of what the economy is.

I don't see him as a communist...
But he has heavily left wing leanings, imo...
Not an attack (if anything I am defending him)...
An observation...

Is there even such a thing as a communist these days in western society?
Are there any people in our society so ill informed?

I'm not actually a communist. I just pretend to be one for the lulz, just as conservatives frequently pretend to be Nazis for the lulz.

In all seriousness, I am a lefty who wants human needs to be recognized as human rights. I also want campaign finance to be regulated.

Of course, many people will always dismiss me as a commie for these views.



Sadly, the people on r/communism are actual, unironic commies. In all seriousness, I don't like actual communists because I don't like anything undemocratic.

The actual communists are actually pretty hilarious because they jump through mental loop-de-loops trying to portray people like Joseph Stalin, Che Guevara and Mao Zedong as flawless messianic figures. To this end, they will persistently ignore Stalin's anti-Semitism and homophobia. They will also ignore the fact that Stalin discarded the concept of international socialism in favor of Russian nationalism, which sounds like something a that fascist would do.

"The working men have no country. We cannot take from them what they have not got."
-Karl Marx

The Soviets also crushed the labor unions in Soviet Russia. Crushing labor unions is the polar opposite of what socialism was originally about. Socialism was originally all about empowering labor unions. It wasn't originally about totalitarianism.

As someone who is apparently just left of centre but swings right in some cases and largely identifies as centrist, I don't watch a single YouTuber on either side of the political spectrum if that's their channel's hook. At best listening to someone rant about politics bores me, and at worst I find it cringey. Still, I have to admit that the right has been far more obnoxious in the past year or so, at least in terms of their internet presence. Maybe organizations like Black Lives matter do in fact demonstrate in some areas to the annoyance of the locals, but I'm not aware of it as I don't live in a region where they do.

In terms of obnoxious comments and general petty insults on the internet go though, I'm seeing a lot more of it from Anti-SJWs. Ironically enough, they often sound just like the radical feminists and other extreme left-wing activist groups they criticize, but for whatever reason they don't see it. I'd actually go as far as to say that some are Anita Sarkeesian bad. For example, I've seen comments by people who saw Black Panther and all they have to say about it is "too SJW". Apparently people stopped playing Uncharted 4 when Nadine was introduced because apparently it's now controversial for a guy to have a black female henchman...oh and those idiots missed out on an excellent game. No, it's just not possible to have a discussion of popular media at all with that type.

In general, I'm getting sick of this political climate as it's difficult to have a discussion on anything anymore without identity becoming a part of the conversation. No, the right doesn't have a monopoly on that and there are really obnoxious people on the left, but I'll definitely say that one side has contributed more cringe than the other lately. Also, reading comments is bad enough. I will not subject myself to politically-charged YouTube vids from either camp. Note, my post is levelled squarely at the far-right. I have also met reasonable people on the right, though I suspect they're largely centre and moderate right.
