You've got a right to be biased against whatever stormfags are, but I hope you're not intending to turn away an ally because of their biases. If you think they're turning away allies over their own bias, I guess it'd be fair, but I haven't noticed them do so.
If you're a member of a given group and you see people accusing you of being evil incarnate because some members of your group who have nothing to do with you are engaged in some nasty stuff, that is not exactly encouragement to side with the good guys.
That's fair. I'm not gonna try to defend people I'm not on personal terms with, and it'd be ridiculous to try to impose my standards of communication on either side of a conflict.
Personally, I can get real loose with my expressions around my irl friends. And I know how it sounds if a bystander overhears. My excuse is that it's one part lazy group labeling and another part emotional release.
I dunno - I don't expect us all to be buddies here, but I hope to see us all work towards similar goals with very little infighting. Maybe that's naive of me.
As far as general optics go, I think we've been improving here with some minor fluctuations. We have an odd bunch, so anyone doing their part to lurk before posting should understand what we're really about...but I have been surprised at the occasional "normie" stumbling in here. So I can understand some concern there.

That sort of thing does not concern me. Being free is a good thing, not a bad thing. That said, it is also much different from having a deep ideological commitment to a point of view that vilifies a particular group of people. Make no mistake that any place that allows free speech attracts a good contingent of people who have an obsession with this particular ethnic group, and frankly, they ruin any forum with their nonsense.

Then we have to focus on what unites us, which is that SJWs are bad, not something else. In fact, I'd argue that it's a distraction. If people's focus is on the Jews, then they're missing a lot of what happens.

Some people have told me that I need to learn what this place is, or accused me of being a Chinese bot. So at the very least, we are attracting some people not from Reddit.
The difference is that I don't believe this is in any way representative of women as a whole. It's only pointing out that it's not just Jewish women who do this, as Stormfags like to claim. Scapegoating women for the actions of men and women is as bad as scapegoating Jews for the actions of Jews and non-Jews.
Quite apart from being wrong, it's also foolish strategically. We need the support of Jews and non-Jews, men and women, to be able to defeat this menace, and that's not going to happen if you hate on them for no reason.
Man, Stormfags are nothing if not predictable. It can't be their pure Eva Brauns who are hating on white people, it must be Jeeeeeeeeewish women.
