There are tons of instances of misguided political correctness that make me cringe. The list does get bigger every day. Something that also gets bigger everyday, is the ‘look-away’ crowd who would rather spend their time making fun of people than actually doing something worthwhile and good to help those who need it and struggle to help themselves. I know on which side of the line I’d rather err.
Every term is an invented term, it’s what we do as humans, make names for people, especially those who we deem to be silly or below us. Sort of like when you go after Christians, calling them God-botherers or like terms, instead of just saying Christian.
That’s what the articles show, that’s the point of the thread… Did you actually read them? or did you see BSD was in yet another argument and needed to join in.
With regards to your original post - I agree that it’s pretty ridiculous, for whatever my opinion counts.
I dislike the mocking term ‘SJW’, because as BSD says, it was created as a mechanism to attack those striving for social justice - as if that were a bad thing. Today, the term is a derogative. People who talk ■■■■ should be mocked. Not people who care about others’ welfare.
