Eh... what the fucking 'ell, man? These would all be hardcore ultra-religious RIGHT-WINGERS. Not leftists. :roll: Unless that was a shot at Admiral X?

Long before some people on internet started blaming so called "SJWs" and using that un-ironically there has been and still is ultra-religious right-wingers that have been banning things. Those were people that group Right to Censor back in WWF Attitude era were meant to parody. But I guess in some fantasy world that certain right-wingers seem to live in those don't exist.

I HATE political correctness. It is a REAL force that is like any other label. Forces you to conform to a narrow and arbitrary set of criteria that don't define who you are past a vague abstract label. And I REJECT labels.

I hate to break it to you, but SJWs are the ones that started calling themselves SJWs. Kind of like how "fake news" started out as an attack on Trump by the MSM rather than the other way around.

Well, social justice is important. That said, being snowflakes is not about that.

"Social justice" not only is not in any sense of the word justice, it's inherently racist and sexist.

Can you prove that claim because I have no reason to believe that considering that I have seen extreme right-wingers like you using it so much to point that it has lost all meaning considering that it has been used long side with "snowflake" as term to dismiss any opposing opinion. Ironic considering that those that tend to use those are "snowflakes" themselves that need that "safe space" that they claim others needing.
