Anonymous asked: I saw your recent post about the term "SJW," and you seem to take pride in that. Whether you respond to this or not, I just want you to know that there is an entire subreddit where posters make a game out of figuring out who wrote something. It's called /r/StormfrontorSJW. As you may know, Stormfront is a hateful white supremacist group. The fact that people can cover up a few words and can compare Stormfront statements to SJW statements should tell you something.

Goodness me, are you really comparing ‘Social Justice Warriors’ to a white supremacist group? 

Do you quite understand what social justice is and means? 

I do get rather infuriated by asks like this, I must admit, because it seems grossly unfair that people from minority groups that complain about their treatment on a blogging website, which is often the only place they can actually vent safely and talk about their experiences, are then likened to their own oppressors (like white supremacists in some cases) by people that clearly aren’t very educated on the issues at hand and somehow believe that these two things are in any way comparable. 

It’s a form of victim blaming, I think. 

I shall also refer you to this little poem of mine which has become rather popular on the internet. It sums up my thoughts on this very clearly.
