Well, point made.
I've seen a bit of these types, but usually they wore iron cross rings, or white robes (KKK). Even some of the more extremist Christians I know haven't acted quite like that. Yes their preference is very much against homosexuality and more liberal policies of "Do what you want as long as you don't harm others", but I haven't seem them go out of their way like the extremist liberal ones do.
I've even been screamed at by some extremist liberal woman because I (a male <shudder>) dared to walk through a door and hold the door open for her, err, hir, err, "it". And note, even if you can't see it, am a bisexual male.
- sanderjd 9y agoYour comments here are ironic because while claiming to have only ever witnessed "professional victims" on the progressive side, you're displaying the conservative version of the same thing. You don't recognize that's what it is, you just think you have legitimate complaints about how you've been treated due to your identity. That's exactly what the people on the other side think as well.
- yebyen 9y agoI think you just said that anyone who was ever "victimized" by a professional victim is, themselves, a professional victim. I want to believe that's not what you're saying, but I'm having a hard time parsing something different out of your comment.
- kefka 9y agoYeah. I spent about 20 minutes mulling over how to respond, and instead opted not to. But yes, you hit it in 1. Maybe the conservatives have their own. Pretty sure they do. Ive seem some kicking and screaming with Christianity, but even in Indiana, apathy with regards to religion seems to be taking more of a hold. And there's that Starbucks cup thing.. I'm 100% sure that was social media "fake news". I never saw anyone in real life actually complaining about that, other than for a week or 2, it was bandied around everywhere. Then again, the ones who've consistently yelled and screamed and flailed around are the special snowflake extremist liberal SJWs over perceived and non-existent slights. And yes, I'm a liberal complaining about how extremists are ruining liberalism, because what they want freedom for you to comply with them.
- sanderjd 9y agoWhat you're missing is that I don't think that there is such a thing as a "professional victim". I think it is just a term some people use to delegitimize any slights perceived by the "other side".
- yebyen 9y agoThat's a perfectly reasonable point and position to take but at the same time, I think I could point at some professional victims and you'd concede that they are them. Like the guy who goes to places and gets himself into horrible situations on YouTube Live or Twitch, when people call in a Swat Team onto his location. And I don't even know anything about his politics, I just know that he has a following, and he literally makes (was making?) money off of his streams, which people were attracted to based on wanting to see harm come to him! Literally inconveniencing airplanes and airport concourses full of people so that he could get some more media attention on his scam. So, I think that's despicable and I've never looked up his streams as a result, because I don't want him to profit. Like I said I don't even know his politics, and I won't say anything about mine. But to argue the singular point, I think there are some professional victims and it is well... dismissive, to be dismissive of them.
