No one is going to be interested in what you say when you react with hostility. That immediately makes the person you're conversing with defensive and off-put by anything you have to say. It single handedly damages your own cause beyond repair. Reacting like a dick causes people, especially neurotic hot messes that are common on plurk, to become neurotic hot messes. It makes everyone uncomfortable, and, it causes people to feel like they're personally a terrible human being who's intentionally an asshole, and not that they're just being ignorant.
I don't get it. SJW warriors think whenever someone reacts with, "You're being hostile to me!" is a way to discredit the argument when it's someone merely stating how they feel and how they're currently uncomfortable by someone else's behavior. But SJW's being totally shitty assholes and actively vitriolic towards merely ignorant people? Totally a-okay everyone!
That's just sheer hypocrisy. Much like, it's not my job to educate you. I get that people aren't obligated to type up years of interracial history/misogyny in media/etc. but keeping a handful of links/linking someone, or, at the very least, telling them what to google in a calm and rational manner (because I often see hostility and "IT'S NOT MY JOB TO EDUCATE YOU BUT I'M SURE AS HELL ALLOWED TO YELL AT YOU" together) can definitely be some help. I know there were things I was ignorant about and SJW's told me to google it, and, I tried only to get totally unhelpful results or results that were so problematic, they'd give any reasonable/unreasonable person that vies for social justice a total heartattack. This then resulted in a dumb circle where I'd ask for specific things, link the awful results I was getting and then getting yelled at to go deeper.
Ugh. But, as a minority, I really can't stand SJW's in general. Ever since some stupid judgmental whitey (SJW, everyone) launched accusations that I was ashamed in my own race for having an interracial relationship, I've been jaded on the movement.
