Poll: Usage of the term "Social Justice Warrior"

[metalhead]

It does a disservice to actual satirists to claim something stupid and obvious like that as "satire."

 

[Akka]

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.

What makes YOU think you're left-wing (and in fact make you think you hold the very definition of what being left-wing means, to the point you feel entitled to tell others what they think, even when you're comically off-base) ?

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

Seems so, considering you were focused on the wrong part.

Yeah, lowering oneself down to your public does that sometimes. Not my fault I'm facing guys whose positions are caricatural by themselves.

 

[metalhead]

You don't make the effort to even understand what others' positions are. It's why you rely on simpleminded tactics like dismissing people as SJWs instead of actually addressing their arguments.

As usual, sweet sweet irony. The Kings of Strawmen who try to give lessons in "not even understanding other's positions".
And claiming others "dismiss their opinion by calling them SJW" when the very point of this whole thread (and the discussion in the past few pages) is about them assigning labels to others so they can dismiss what they say. Be happy hypocrisy is conceptual, because if it were material you would be dead by suffocation in minutes.
Guys, you're standing comedy stuff. Unfunny dark comedy that gives brain damage, but still comedy.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll bow out of this thread. I'm feeling somewhat nauseous at the display of putrid dishonesty and I need to puke.

satire (countable and uncountable, plural satires)

1. (uncountable) Anything said in a sarcastic or mocking tone of voice. Literally anything, even if it isn't funny or doesn't make sense. Whatever, go nuts. I don't care, I hate my job and I'm trying to get fired.
2. (countable) A satirical work.

Your move, smart guy.

 

[inthesomeday]

You got me. Dictionary definitions are, after all, the absolute objective truth, no matter who writes them or in what context they're used.

The worst kind of ignorance is always the non-self-aware kind. I'm of course not the slightest bit surprised that you whiff on the irony here, as always.

I mean, you're the guy whose grand theory of race is, "you can't combat racism with racism!" Which is not only a dumb thing to say, but totally mischaracterizes the entire debate in an attempt to derail it and shut it down. But no, the problem is SJWs

That's how he got me. It's quoted in an excerpt from a dictionary, therefore clearly Akka's comment was biting satire. It falls under that there dictionary definition, doesn't it?

 

[Archon_Wing]

The statement was obviously of the meaning of "I think so lowly of this satire that it is only satire as a technicality". It's much like if one were to say "this meal shouldn't be considered fit for human consumption" and someone responds by someone it technically is consumable. Dragging out a dictionary is pointless unless you take everything literally. Of course, I am sure it is just a next level attempt at a joke though.

This discussion reminds me of the many times that people tried to convince me that feminism is not an utterly idiotic ideology, but instead just the advocacy of equal rights for men and women by linking me to a dictionary.

[bernie14]

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

well, at least loons and extremists are still allowed to express opinions, no?....how do you define a "nobody"?. you see @Valessa, with your opinions, you have broken your contract to humanity and therefore, you no longer count...simple as that .
