Is that a belief you've seen expressed though? Because I have a theory that Social Justice Warriors, and Snooty Moralists in general are somewhat extinct, and more than likely never existed at all.
They're the imagined enemy conjured by the right wing to make everyone have a feeling of having been judged, without any actual judges or judgements having been expressed.
A construct made of whole clothe , with no actual person present underneath, just propaganda pages and a feeling of having been wronged.
oh, they exist. but unfortunately they fail to see that the problem is not that the star rhey looked up to is acually a bad person (and therefor their work invalid) but that the very ideal of super-human like stars is the very mechanism that make those people get away with their behavior in the first place.
things wouldn't be half as bad if sexual misconduct of a beloved actor was tried as soon as it happened - and not swept under the carpet for some decades while the behavior continued to happen
Xi is a social justice warrior and xi knows that heroes are bad and a good community values ideas over people. Xi saw V For Vendetta.
The only place I've ever seen this be true personally is sports fans. Sports fans love to talk about how they love athletes and how they're good guys. You see it constantly. Usually it's based upon PR stunts. Like there was a big one with current Browns quarterback to Deshaun Watson. Back when he was with the Houston Texans there was this big PR thing where he gave his paycheck to a lunch lady or something. There was a Reddit Thread about how awesome he was and what a good guy he was. Few years later there are like 40 women who are accusing him of rape and or sexual assault.
Sports fans get very invested in their teams Heroes and they think they know them. It's a danger we all face I'm guilty of it sometimes too I'm sure, but it's just real important to know that we don't know these people. It's true of all celebrities.
The loudest, unironic SJWs I know are all performative. The most productive activists/volunteers I know don't make much noise on social media. The performers love saying "separating the art from the artist" type shit. One got really pissed off at me when I pushed him to drop WoW over the suicide and censoring of that tournament winner when he agreed that it was wrong of Blizzard to have done those thing.
The SJW types are absolutely over represented by the anti-Woke crowd. Ragebait all the way down.
You new here?
Xi is a social justice warrior. Xi is also a dragon rider who uses spells and magic weapons in battle with the forces of evil. Xi would forgive someone who was closed minded enough to think xi doesn't exist.
