I've seen some crap going around my friendslist recently (and no, it's not just one person). I'm not one to start things in other people's personal journals unless they're inviting debate. Those two facts are why I'm doing this here, in my journal, instead of speaking directly to anybody; I'm not trying to be passive-aggressive.
I just wanted to be clear about this:
Yes, there are assholes in various social justice movements. Especially in the online arena, and especially especially on LJ. Some of them are genuine and just have an aggressive approach; a fair amount, especially around sf_d and similar comms, are bullies using social justice as an excuse to attack people.
None of that invalidates the messages they are appropriating.
