    OK, so I’m one of the original SJWs

    I’m old and have a bit of a reputation for getting in the face of the ignorant, which isn’t always wise, but I’m a principled cunt

    But there is a point where the little things don’t fucking matter when the person clearly doesn’t have any malicious intent, and only someone trying to be offended would have a problem

    To whit, I was asking an indigenous friend whether they prefer “indigenous” or “aboriginal” when I’m speaking to them.

    They said “the fact that you’re even asking means that you’re obviously not a part of the problem, so pull the stick out of your arse”

    I suggest you do the same.

        Na that’s a pretty common reaction to the SWJ language policing. Most oppressed minorities want their equal rights; not a mob or privileged kids virtue signaling and alienating them further 🌈

          I’m insulted that you superimposed your SJW language policing on top of my linguistic pedantry then planted a battleflag. Fight the good fight, just do it somewhere its needed.

        Think about this, we made major advancements politically and culturally during 2006-2016, especially in regards to LGBTQ rights and then the voters turn Trans people into a single issue ticket and vote for trump 12 years in a row. They turned you into a woke boogie man and campaign against you specifically and now we live in a fucking Nazi hell hole.
