Oerwinde Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 So SXSW may fold back again - http://recode.net/2015/10/27/exclusive-after-gamergate-misstep-sxsw-weighing-an-all-day-forum-on-online-harassment/ And once again they stick to the narrative the Anita was "forced" to cancel her speaking event, despite police telling her there was no credibility to the threat (as the guy was in Brazil).

Namutree Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 A follow up on the Greer story I thought would probably be liked here: Link Yes, it gets to the heart of the issue. Good article to link to for explaining SJWs and the authoritarian left. I've never given any thought whatsoever about whether trans-women and trans-men are actually women and men; because I simply do not care. However, I would have to say that Greer is definitely wrong that transphobia (although that might be a poor name for it) exists. I've seen people very much hold trans-gender people in contempt and yes, even complete disgust. Not that Greer shouldn't have been allowed to speak. "Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking. I use blue text when I'm being sarcastic.

Barothmuk Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) However, I would have to say that Greer is definitely wrong that transphobia (although that might be a poor name for it) exists.Yeah that'd be pretty dumb. Did she actually say that though? If there's one thing I've learned about tumblr's "gender community" it's that they're often prone to just straight up lying.

Ineth Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) @Namutree I agree, and she probably said many other wrong or even crazy things in her life. (How else would she have become and "icon"/"major voice" of feminism? ) But that's not the point of the article, which is about the cult-like thoughtcrime-purging culture of the social justice movement. PS: Apparently her planned speech didn't even have anything to do with trans people.

BruceVC Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I mean look at this. Are we sure this isn't just some Arthur Chu tweet generator at this point? "Fight for survival" Goddammit. Yes Chu, people who have friends that all have beliefs exactly like their own are fighting in the proverbial trenches of today's world. Funny enough he is right in some ways, I don't support the rights of minorities because I'm worried that white, males are becoming marginalized But so what....he has no right to judge my commitment to SJ causes ?

Dude...you can't seriously think I have that much in common with her, she is about theatrics...I'm more concerned about real SJ changes and realities Of course I don't like how she was harassed but part of me thinks this suited her grand strategy. She ended up all right after all and is considered influential in anti-GG "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Nonek Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Until recently I thought that Mr Chu wrote the most stupid things i've ever seen... Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!

I don't find it funny at all, its this type of rhetoric that undermines real SJ change and effort Its annoying, of course you don't have to be a stormtrooper ....in fact that type of SJ belligerence I feel is just counterproductive and can alienate people you want to help Has he done any SJ work in RL? Also does anyone know his email address, I want to email and politely explain he is doing the real SJ cause a disservice "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
