Not every article/discussion gets derailed into "SJW" territory, so the statement reads hyperbolic.
Ah, okay I see. Yeah, true that is pretty damn hyperbolic. I wanted it to come out more along the lines of "we frequently get articles that go into SJW territory", but that's what I typed out for whatever reason. I guess because I felt like they were everywhere-- my mind was being clouded by my own hysteria. My bad. Thank you for pointing that out.
[/quote]I also don't understand your complaints about tumblr. In your post you say that you follow people who "demolish the arguments of ironically bigoted "feminists"" and "I clicked follow on one SJ blog" and then complain that you can't scroll down tumblr without seeing "SJW" drama. Of course you are going to stumble across OTT "SJW" drama if you follow blogs that feature said drama. I've been using tumblr actively for a few years (and I have two blogs there) and I almost never see that stuff, unless I go looking for it on purpose.[/quote]
Hm, even more of my mixed up words, huh? Okay, I see where shit get's confusing, I'll try and explain it better in a timeline.
--Like I said in the OP I started out not minding the stuff being everywhere, because I needed to learn about these issues and I was very much into the debates that can take place online. But when I first went to Tumblr I went in looking for jokes and good times. Ended up stumbling onto an SJ blog that was being arguably bigoted. Found some laughter in watching another blogger tear apart the previous one's argument, so I ended up following them. Again, didn't mind the SJ stuff at the time-- was even in need of it, some could say.
--Spent a good portion of that time on tumblr seeing debate after debate (more like shouting matches) and actively soaking up the discussions on LGBT rights, heterosexuality, men's rights, women's rights etc. I learned a lot. However, in the process I also was exposed to a lot of the more... icky.... side of SJ. The SJW side. (Now that I think about it, wouldn't a better term for these type of people be social justice bigot or pseudojustice warrior or some shit?)
--After a while it seemed like I gathered enoguh knowledge about social activism (and hatred for bigots) enough to want to leave all that behind, but the truth of the matter is it is very hard to escape it. Because, like most would agree, the shit is everywhere, whether it be on Facebook, Twitter or out in real life (for me anyway). And like I said before once you follow a blog on there, you get recommendations to follow others like it. You could blacklist some stuff yeah, but it can still seep in. Remember, I found my first SJ blog by searching through the tag 'funny'.
--Then comes in the head pain during every discussion on SJ matters.
In closing, yeah, I agree I did make my problem seem bigger than what it was by using hyperbolic language, forgive me for that. I also got the ball rolling on this thing because I was the one who went into it. But I am not exaggerating when I say I see this stuff all the time even when not searching for it any longer. Obviously, that is because these fights still need to be fought for the people in need, but I can't really get a break from it.
Ever marathon a show all the way to the end, then when you're sick and tired of it they show re-runs on TV every time you turn it on? It's kind of like that. Does any of this help or am I just making it worse? :/

\On topic I feel this is more I'm tired of people telling me I'm wrong then I'm tired of "social justice"
How'd you come to that conclusion?
