It’s like “feminist killjoy”. Own it, those who use it against you will start looking more and more ridiculous.
I think it’s easy to tell these are liberals making fun of liberals. When conservatives do it, the tone is much meaner and less funny. You think?
Maybe I just don’t run in the right circles online, but the only social justice keyboard “warriors” I ever run into are those who think they are warriors for free speech by rejecting any criticism of their view with a “SJW” ad hominem.
To those people:
ranting about how minorities are the real racists or about how men are the real victims of sexism = casual talk and/or reasonable political discourse in the general chat window for Star Craft 2.
engaging critically with such rants = SJW political correctness (something which is typically more powerful when it comes from the right than from the left; just ask the Dixie Chicks)
“Beige” actually just made me feel a bit odd.
The funniest thing about “libtard,” aside from its obvious clunky retarded attempt at wordplay-via-portmanteau, is that the root of “tard” means to restrain or slow; integrating “lib,” (i.e. to free or loose) with that is like a bright neon sign reading “I DONT KNOW WHAT WORDS MEAN!”
It’d be pretty fucking funny if it weren’t so ubiquitous.
For many people, they wear the title with honor.
For others, it is used just to dismiss and shut down anyone arguing a hot social topic, rather than coming up with a rational counter argument.
“I really don’t have a problem with gays marrying.”
“OH well, looks like we have another SJW!”
Ugh, very tinny word. Aubergine, that’s much better. Aubergine. AUBERgine.
I think the point of the cards is that even people with good intentions and admirable aims can be self-important and annoying sometimes. Everyone can be taken down a notch once in a while (see: Monty Python’s “Life Of Brian”-- laughing at “blessed are the cheesemakers” doesn’t mean I disagree with the ideal of “blessed are the peacemakers.”)
Did the orange kitty have to be the alternative lifestyle poster? Ginger beer = queer? What a douche canoe.
Yay I actually understood them…
Oh great! Please tell me then what they mean.
hahaha explaining is another level
Ha ha ha
“Each one is above average.”

Nah. Jokes at the expense of SJWs are every bit as funny as jokes at the expense of MRAs.
Just putting this out there because it is feline related and is giving me the giggles.
They found my cat!
