Yeah, same here. I was in ART college in BOSTON at the time and the SJWs were still fringe weirdos. I only knew one girl spewing it at the time and I scoffed and rolled my eyes at her insanity. In my youthful naïveté about the nature of adulthood and common sense, I assumed the best of others and figured that her unique brand of terminal complaining would eventually disappear with maturity. How wrong I was... Then a few years ago my father was fired for refusing sensitivity training after making this joke: "You're going to get the Aunt Jemima treatment!" while waving around a spatula. He was accused of being racist... he said Aunt Jemima because it was the pancake brand that sounded better than Mrs. Buttersworth in the joke. He worked with adults with developmental disabilities and was one of the few people that really cared about them and treated them with dignity and humanity and entertained them with his silly harmless dad jokes. Fuck those people.
Nah, he's old so he just decided to retire after that and focus on the occasional home improvement and restoration project with his buddy. He was sick of being treated like a monster just because he was an old white man in the human service industry.
I’m guilty of not taking it seriously. I remember in 2011 or so thinking that SJWs in college would change once they entered the real world.
