Excuse me, but I expressly avoid the term "SJW" because it's a known pejorative.
I prefer to use "social justice advocates" - I used "crowd" here but there was no ill intent.
And if I didn't apologize earlier for making assumptions about your views, I'm apologizing right now. I'd rather learn what you truly think than insist a caricature upon you. It's the only way to have an honest conservation, I think.
- rosser 8y agoThank you for the clarification. I think "social justice advocate" is a reasonable term, though "social justice anything" is probably always going to risk evoking a reaction, and not a response; for example, I probably did with your use of "crowd", which might in turn have colored my reply. I hope I'm offering you some food for thought, or at least another insight into a perspective that differs from yours. There are people out there who hold considered, nuanced perspectives on these (and many other) topics. Our contemporary style of discourse makes it very difficult to be one of them. :(
- ankushnarula 8y agoI agree there are many nuanced views. And I found our interaction useful in illuminating your views - I suspect they're not entirely dissimilar from my perspective. The discourse does tend to quickly descend into defensiveness & assumptions of bad faith. For my part, I hope to do better the next time around. Cheers.
