I am curious exactly how the mods at Reset will uhhh, I'm not going to say stop necessarily, but let's say...dial down, the outrage culture element of gaf. This is important because the outrage culture fed into the culture shift where there was only one opinion worth any salt in any discussion. I'm not going to say no outrage should happen but with gaf it felt like it was constant outrage at the end of its life and I wonder how Reset staff will deal with that "constant" part which makes the forum come off really negatively and makes a large part of the userbase apprehensive and sometimes downright hostile to opposing viewpoints.
I certainly hope they recognize this could be a problem and have come up with ways to go around it.
wait, and apologies if i'm mistaken, but aren't you black?
yea and wtf does that have to do with anything
Um, has a lot to do with my surprise that you're spewing that alt right Social Studies Warrior gibberish. Don't you know Social Studies Warrior is no different than "politically correct," a term coined by the right to attack anyone that sought to correct inequalities that affect disadvantaged groups like our community?
Um. What?
What have I said that's alt right exactly? I'm far from alt right.
I use social studies warrior because to me, that's what they are. It isn't alt right for me, although I certainly understand that many people who are alt right use it. But so do a lot of other people who aren't alt right, and I don't think it's fair to categorize all of us as that just because we use the phrase without asking, respectfully, why we use it.
I personally use it because in my experience, they tend to care more about pet, small issues than ones that are actually affecting the community in any real way. That or they have concerns about a legitimate issue (like BLM and police brutality) and have fuck all for answers or demands. To me, they do not handle social justice in an organized manner, and are a mockery of social justice (which is legitimate). Social studies warrior just happened to perfectly fit how I felt about them. I got sick and tired everyone complaining about every single little thing, getting words twisted, and I don't see why my being black means I can't feel that way. As a former-Social Studies Warrior, I got absolutely exhausted being offended by everything nebulous and simply did not understand how it benefited the minority communities That I am part of (black and trans).
Perhaps you think it best that I find a different word to describe them? Maybe I should, but I don't know what it should be.
