Originally posted by fm93 View PostWell, a "safe space" is apparently defined as a place that doesn't tolerate violence, harassment or hate speech towards LGBT folks. You responded by saying "Harassment needs a lot more definition, and hate speech seems to mean anything they disagree with." It seems that your point is essentially "Some of what they consider to be harassment and hate speech aren't actually harassment and hate speech." But surely you agree that whatever you believe constitutes genuine harassment and hate speech is bad.
So I understand if you criticize some particular places that consider themselves "safe spaces" on the basis that they're too loose in their definitions. But it seems that you're criticizing the very idea of safe spaces, which would entail criticizing places that don't tolerate genuine violence, harassment and hate speech.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

So yeah, I'm sure what you personally mean by the term happens to exist, but I'm inclined to assume that most people who use it are actually the dismissive, conversation-stopping ones themselves. They just get irrationally angry whenever anyone mentions anything related to a social issue.
(And yes, I did actually see a comment moaning and whining about "sjws" on a video of a Star Wars movie clip. Some weirdos apparently go out of their way to complain about them.)Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed.

My primary complaint about SJWs was that they would use the term ("SJW") without explaining what it is. I could care less if someone is an SJW, I just want them to have the honesty to represent themselves as what they are, not as if everyone else is a dummy for not being one of them.Near the Peoples' Republic of Davis, south of the State of Jefferson (Suspended between Left and Right)

Originally posted by fm93 View PostI think his point was that, just as I argued on the first page of this thread, the percentage of such people is being grossly exaggerated. Heck, I'd say at least 80% of the time when I see the acronym, it's being applied to someone who's clearly trying to START a conversation about some social issue, and others are the ones who shut it down by calling the author "SJW."

Pro-tip: stop assuming. You want people to interact with the subject while automatically dismissing dissenters for using a certain term. Hypocrite much?Last edited by fm93; 06-18-2016, 03:09 PM.Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.--Isaiah 1:17

People on the internet act more extreme than in real life. Do you think half the people who post here would be as strident in real life?
It's not really the sticking point though. Sure, sjw/wbc exist, but they are fringe minorities unrepresentative of the larger bodies of activists/christians
