Poll: Usage of the term "Social Justice Warrior"

[Ryika]

I meant "nobody who counts". It seemed more polite to let you work it out for yourself, rather than spell it out in public.

You try to do somebody a kindness...!

No need to say such hurtful things.

 

[Traitorfish]

What do you expect "loons" and "extremists"?

Yet another example of Political Compass Ontology. Simply brilliant.

Always count on small minds to look at the finger when you point at the moon.

I guess if we're using self-definitions I would consider myself a centrist, because anything I believe ought to be natural assumptions of society and non-controversial positions without a need for leaning one way or the other. The difference is I'm using political definitions from many centuries in the future as opposed to many decades in the past.

Sorry Valessa, but I think our friend has a point. I thought I was left-wing, but that's only because I used completely outdated definitions, and not the Correct SJW Definition Defining Truth®.
When opening my eyes and using the updated Political Compass, in fact I fall squarely in rightist territory :

I stand corrected, I was clearly in the wrong about my political leaning, but thankfully some 16 year old having read radfem philosophy online set me straight.

Ah crap, went to the old political compass for comparison. Guess the slightly left or slightly right fascist I am depends on my mood today. I think I just don't strongly agree on enough things. Also I have no idea why they haven't moved on to a 3-d space cube. I want my space poltiics!

 

[inthesomeday]

I mostly include my score in my sig to show how goofy the test is. For example it has a question about protectionism to gauge 21st century political opinions. (Although I guess lately that's not so silly anymore)

 

[Archon_Wing]

The weirdest must be that astrology question. I assume there must be questions that have no effect on the final result.

It's still better than the left-right dichotomy though.

The political compass reached its final and most perfect form when dramatised by Nedroid:

 

[inthesomeday]

Are we sharing political compass memes?

 

[Traitorfish]

It can only improve the tone and quality of the thread.

 

[Archon_Wing]

Memes are a Communist plot to their true overlords in power, the lolcats.

I had one for Seinfeld but I had to go with a real anime:

Moderator Action: That's stopping right here. If the thread devolves into jokes, memes, and drive-by image posts, it will be locked.

The political compass is virtually meaningless. The fact that you got a result on the political compass means literally nothing, or perhaps a bit less.

As always, your attempt to counter something just prove that thing right. You're so reliable in proving criticisms with perfect accuracy that I would nearly believe you do it on purpose (too bad it never manages to make you question yourself).

So just in case (because it's really, really, really obvious) : the satire comes not from my position on the graph (which I didn't put at all in the first version, actually, I just added it so the text would fit) but for the surfaces and the labels. The point is to mock how SJW consider "right-winged" anyone who is not absolutely dead-center into their own opinions, and "fascists" anyone who might disagree with them.
And it's so in-your-face obvious I can only surmise that the efforts made to avoid it were deliberate.

Oh, and yes it's satire, not parody or caricature. Because the latter would imply exaggeration, while this is sadly just humorous but factual.

 

[inthesomeday]

What makes you think you're left wing? Is it your position on that silly graph? Is it some set of beliefs you hold? If so, tell us about those beliefs.

Yeah wow I totally didn't get this thanks for telling me
