Of course CE takes the obvious you can't decide if someone else is rightfully offended by something and tries to discredit an otherwise reasonable opinion by taking it to the extreme

That's silly. If a guy went up to a gay guy and called him the f word whilst punching him in the face, I have to gauge the gay guy's reaction in order to understand if it was offensive or not?

You can always tell if we're actually offended by whether or not we bring up "double standards." Actually, that's usually how you can tell a conservative person faking outrage. When they start with "if this was a black person..." you know they're faking it.

And something being offensive doesn't make it something that can be banned in this country unless it physically harms people. Snowflakes melting down doesn't change our Constitution.

nothing
SJW tends to be a term used by people who hold either sexist, racist, or homophobic beliefs as a way to demonize people who dont think less of women and minorities and try to paint them as the bad guys

I disagree entirely...
SJW is to the left as alt-right is to the Right

Both sides have extremes, SJW is just the term for a left extremist.

It's amazing how the same crowd that will tell you how great multiculturalism is will so easily also say, "shut up white people." Cultural Marxism is a sick parody of Christianity where only white guys are subject to the humility of original sin. How is multiculturalism supposed to work like that? It's like SJWs want it to fail.

If they're using their own definition of racism why should whites care?

Also when did colored people become a monolith collective that decides on definitions of words for languages not of their ancestors?

Almost nobody cares when the left brands them as a racist anymore because it's obvious that a SJWs ability to see racism when it doesn't exist is like a religious fanatic's ability to see Jesus in their toast.

It's amazing that overt racism like this, telling people what aspect of society whites can participate in (collectively and organically deciding on how words are used) yet people have the gall to pretend that racism against minorities is what's tolerated on gamefaqs?

Holy fucking shit Batman. This topic is gross, it's racist.

I'd say they care less about being viewed as racist and just want to use it as an argument against black people being able to use the word and white people not being allowed to. That's what most of the arguments boil down to after all

no, it said that white people shouldn't get to say what's racist to PoC.

and PoC have historically been silenced as to what they might be considered racist to them.
