ATTN: Fellow Weebs

For the record, modern etymologists have defined the word "Gay" in the context of the word being used like "That's gay, this vending machine swallowed my change!" as meaning "undesirable" since around 2006. Not "homosexual". The best way to take a word away from hate speech is to take the hate out of the word. Nerd, geek, and Otaku were originally things people didn't want to be called. Now look at us. -points at the concept behind this website- We're all degenerates down here. We can use these terms as jokes with each other without actually using them as if we're throwing boxes onto people so we don't have to listen to them anymore. We can debate with each other without attacking them directly. (Cause if you're doing that, it proves you can't back your view points up very well.) Your local SJW has spoken.

Dear God it finally happen Dagger Took out Seph and declare himself the new emperor QUICK MO Run for your lives Before he Geass everyone!

@Daggerfella: I don't know what to tell you, other than SJW doesn't exactly mean what you want it to mean. SJW is merely someone who acknowledges certain groups of people have advantages over others based on categories they're born into, and decide to advocate for change. It's easy to get the wrong idea though. I admit that much. The loudest minority are people who don't exactly have empathy for people. For example, they be like "Hey, I've been victimized based on the fact that I'm nonbinary, so the world at large is the problem." Which is something people with deep rooted insecurities do. Blame the world for their problems, instead of themselves. For most of us? Especially cis guys like me? Shit, I used to be anti-feminist myself. Kept thinking (Smugly) that equalism > feminism. And that feminism meant "Females > Males". I had to. My opinion of what constituted sexism didn't include me, after all. So, I perceived feminism as an attack on me. Imagine my shock though, when I headed into a panel about feminism at an anime con. One where most of the people there were women who could talk uninterrupted by dudes like me. They went on and on about things that men did that kinda got under their skin. Things like "Men are always quicker to correct women than they are other men, and less willing to listen to them." And other such things. Of course I took this like a mature, and measured individual. A very paragon of understanding and rationalism! Nah, just kidding, I perceived it as an attack on me in particular, and got defensive toward them. To my surprise, the panelists just smiled, nodded acknowledgment to me, and explained that feminism is merely just another aspect of egalitarianism, and that it stands for more than just females. They went on to talk about systemic things they were trying to change for males, like for example, male expendability, and returned to their discussion. It shut me up, because it proved that they were more aware of things that men suffer then I had originally given them credit for. (By the way, this was a year or two before the whole masculinity movement where guys were like "Why do men have to be the ones who open the doors?" and stuff.) And when it was all over, and I left, I started to think to myself. "Holy shit, I do try to correct women faster than men." It was a gradual development of course. Like the realization didn't sink in until I started to catch myself doing it a few more times. Then I finally figured it out. The reason feminism still exists, despite the fact that people I'd always labeled as sexists were kinda on the fringe of society, was because men like me just don't empathize with or understand women. We appreciate them. But we don't really get them or their frustrations. And then of course I found an audio book that was about evolutionary psychology, the science of female attraction, and how to be a better man in general, which really kinda contextualized things better. Mostly because it was written by men, for men, about women, but in a very empathetic and understanding way. And then the whole incident happened when I accidentally marked my profile on Okay Cupid as female when I joined, and was like "Holy shit, that book was right. Women put up with so much of our shit, and half the time, we don't even realize we're being creepy." Yup, so that's how a male SJW is born. And why I use understanding and empathy to not demonize people, but to help them understand the world we all try so hard to dismiss. It's uncomfortable to acknowledge, after all. Edit: Wow, uh... That turned out to be a novel. Props to anyone who reads through it all! I'll give you a choco-chip cookie. https://media1.tenor.com/images/c78bac30eb77d713b61271b0331fce77/tenor.gif
