Only those who are completely noble and free of cognitive dissonance would spend large amounts of their time derailing a discussion criticizing the people who complain about individuals such as Leigh Alexander and Anita Sarkeesian into a far more important and righteous argument of semantics and then turn around and

But yeah, I'm not going to carry this on. I'm going to reiterate my original point, which was derailed into a pointless and unnecessary argument of semantics. The people who spend large quantities of time calling Leigh Alexander, Mattie Brice, Anita Sarkeesian and other wonderful people who are doing objective good

Except no, it isn't, and I highly doubt you even tried to comprehend the entirety of that passage before trying to latch on to something to prove point, which you're incredibly desperate to do for some reason, even though this was never supposed to be an argument about the semantics of "SJW" to begin with and it's

"I have all kinds of radically liberal beliefs"

You do realize how silly "radically liberal" as a description is, right? You understand that liberalism, a.k.a. free market capitalism with more of an emphasis on government support than conservatism, is the status quo, right?

I ask you to provide a definition, and you turn to Urban Dictionary? One of the least accurate cesspools of loosely-moderated misinformation on the internet? Especially after I linked to the Wikipedia definition, on a site with far higher content standards, and stricter guidelines for citation? I'm sorry, I'm just.

Something tells me we also have different definitions of "awful liberals." You seem like the kind of person who would think that "awful liberals" are individuals who take social justice "too far" or are "too radical," and in that case I'd seriously question your ethics. Again, liberalism isn't too different from

Yet you're still failing to define a "social justice warrior." You're not providing any examples, and if you're trying to argue that "social justice warriors" are TERF's, then that's invalid, because just as many non-TERF feminists are called "social justice warriors" by anti-feminists and reactionaries.

And in case there was any doubt:

"So you want to know if I think cis people should die. And, you know, I've had this conversation countless times. I know all the branches of this particular dialogue tree. I could explain the obvious and painful joke of a trans person

You're entirely missing the point. I know that "social justice warrior" doesn't simply mean an "advocate for social justice." My point is that it's an idiotic term used primarily by MRA's, anti-feminists, neoreactionaries and so forth to deflect their own bigotry and hate onto a scapegoat who's supposedly "more"

Who wouldn't want to be a Social Justice Warrior? A warrior for social justice sounds like an awesome thing to be.

A Skeleton Justice Warrior sounds even cooler. :P

I mean, I was familiar with the term before it entered discussions about video games, and it's not a valid term to begin with. There is nothing wrong with being an advocate for social justice so "social justice warrior" is an asinine insult. It's like the term "white knight;" when conservatives/anti-feminists use the

Patricia raises great points in her article, but as other commenters have pointed out, casual racism and misogyny is inexcusable, even if it's all in jest.

Cool story, bro. Doesn't change the fact that conservative culture warriors who use the term "SJW" as an insult or treat who they call "SJW's" as some sort of liberty-hating bogeyman are probably insufferable philistines, which was my point.

However true or untrue that factoid is, it's completely irrelevant.

Anti-intellectuals are wonderful at latching on to any bit of information, no matter how flimsy, misunderstood or misinterpreted, that could be twisted to make themselves look justified in their outrage.

It's funny because the conservative culture warriors/anti-intellectuals/neo-reactionaries who are brainless enough to believe that "social justice warrior" is a valid insult don't actually enjoy games; they're more interested in carrying on their war against the left by whining about supposed infringements on their

Seriously. The original commenter seems like a loser who has nothing better to do but cry about "SJW's" all the time, as other conservative culture warriors do (Also, as a heads up, if you sincerely think the word "SJW" is a valid insult or that what you call "SJW's" pose a threat to "muh freedumb," you're probably an

Thank you, Santa.

Good to know it is continuing the time-honoured Final Fantasy tradition of set designs filled with PRETTY MASSIVE CRYSTALS everywhere!

You have a completely unrealistic concept of student projects and what goes into creating the quality animations you take for granted; now, I apologize if I'm wrong and mis-characterizing you—you could be a great animator yourself—but your opinion comes off more as an entitled consumer detached from the realities of

Not just time and teaching, but full-time work and pay; your wife does this for a living and, considering the horrible working conditions the industry subjects its artists and programmers alike to, probably works over time virtually every day. But yeah, I agree, your comment wasn't really negative; I guess I'm more
