Seriously. I know this is just a petty internet slapfight, but it's really been relaxing in its own way. I've been nodding along as they find out what happens when you tell SJWs no.
Recently, things have burned down a bit and we're getting more walls of text instead instead of insults, and it's been good watching it wake-up formerly apolitical weebs who now realize there is a ingrained political philosophy that needs them to surrender to claim another scalp.
Honestly, I'm proud of them. Let this be a lesson to SJWs, don't try and take away a weeb's waifu, even if their waifu is a guy.
It's really underscored the orthodoxy element of SJW philosophy, as you'd think crossdressing would be something they'd be into, but of course you have to be gay in the exact way that they tell you otherwise you are being unwelcoming and making them feel unsafe, as they screech at you to accept them. (Not to mention the ever present inferiority they feel to an impossibly pretty cartoon character.)
I'm happy that people arn't just rolling over and submitting anymore. At least not all the time.
I imagined /r/animemes have lot more number of normies who happen to watch anime often, I agree. This recent happening will somewhat clarify why some measure of gatekeeping is important and never let egotistic people become a mod.
Yeah, there are definitely redpilled people there, but the most interesting conversations are the ones where someone goes from "Why couldn't you have just asked nicely?" to "This is completely unreasonable, I don't think you even watch anime."
Also the ones where moderate lefties (if such a thing still exists) realize that this will likely stoke transphobia. The exact opposite of the stated goal. (Do we have a better word for transphobia yet? Just typing the word feels like propaganda to me now. Why does everything have to be a phobia?)
I don't know, why is -philia used where -sexual or -mania would be more appropriate/accurate? What is the suffix for "friend of"?
