#Humorless sjw

[hyenabeanz]

There's a thing that always makes me surefire cringe and I can't quite explain why, and I'm not even sure it's fair of me but it does.

I really just feel a deep annoyance when cishet or otherwise non-queer people chime in on queer people joking, or making our jokes. I'm not talking about laughing along here, that's fine, but like... a group of queer people are joking on a post and a Straighty McsStraight pants comes into the comments and starts responding as part of the conversation, usually trying to add to the joke in some way. It makes me uncomfortable and I can't quite put my finger on why.

I think some of it is many of the jokes, like the gal pal jokes for example, are a response to finding ways to not fall into despair about our marginalization. We laugh so we don't scream and cry as the world denigrates and erases us.

So what are the jokes then to someone who doesn't face that marginalization?

The uncharitable side of me says it's to take up space somewhere they don't belong cuz that's what people with privilege do by default, or because they want to show how wow ally they are, or because they like feeling smarter/better than whoever did the marginalizing or they like making fun of other people, and donning the guise of social justice lets folks get away with it in some places and circles without them being called an asshole or bully.

The kinder, more patient part says it's because they can also see the absurdity of the situation and it also makes them mad enough to want to speak up, which I guess is parts of good allyship. Though we're not the ones you need to be talking to.

Idk.

(I'm uncomfortable watching white people do this too when I see similar interactions online with BIPOC. Like y'all, distancing yourself by calling slightly more ignorant white people mayosapiens or whatever ain't it. I'm not sure those are our jokes to make? Yeah watching a racist twat get WWE'd with a folding chair is super duper satisfying, but maybe our voices don't need to be the ones most loudly reacting?)

Am I alone in this? Do I just HATE FUN?

SJWs Need To Stop Being Humorless: an Able-Bodied Company President's Thoughts

[stopmakingliberalslookbad]

I feel that you've become less sympathetic to non alt-right conservatives. I've followed you for a while and before you were relatively understanding of right wing individuals even if you disagreed with them on principle (IE: defending that not all Republicans we're misogynist racists). Now you seem less so (IE: Implying that ALL conservatives in the anti-SJW movement are bad and not just the alt-right). I am not being accusatory or snarky I am just curious as to what changed and why.

I haven't changed. The anti-sjws have. They've become just as hypocritical, hysterical, and humorless as the social justice assholes. Not all of the conservative anti-sjws are like that, but the louder voices have ruined the movement.

Cheap Drama For The Criminally Bored, and the Eternally Annoyed

Something just dawned on me, the drama on this site its not caused by feminists, or sjws, or anti sjws, or any group its in particular its caused by people looking for a fight, looking for distraction, looking for some way to get people to look at them, looking for something. And these people are ruining tumblr with cheap drama, their endless bickering, their humorlessness, their horrible pettiness, their toxic egomania, and their eternal negativity! And to make matters worse i'm of them, or used to be, its a work in progress, but regardless i'm done with it, Ive had it! Fuck drama, fuck endless bickering, fuck everyone ruining this site with their horrible toxic behaivior! From now on i'm going to try to avoid that as much as I can and any issues I have with someone ill deal with by talking to them personally or by just ignoring them. And yeah I know every issue with making one of these posts since i'm basically saying LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME but you know what right now I dont give a flying fuck about that because this post is as much about calling myself out for the way ive behaved as it is about saying something thats bugging me.

[ghiraheeheeheem]

are people really like discoursing you right now for saying that healthy relationships are built on strong communications?? lol go into the real world kids instead of having all of your relationship experience come from shitty fanfics and other tumblr users. people talk to each other to work out their feelings and problems in a relationship it's not an SJW concept like jesus christ no wonder your relationships are failing you don't know how to talk to other people omg

^^^ Right?? I was like I thought this was kindof a given. They started twisting it to be like the reason they are upset is because they were supposedly joking and I, a humorless sjw zombie, commented on their joke to call it out.

The last couple asks were increasingly outrageous I’m like 98% sure it’s a troll. And the only reason there is 2% leftover is because I’ve seen how fucking wild some people on this hellsite can be.

i know i'm a humorless SJW but i can't wait for the triggered meme to die

[lizacstuff]

I read that a CS blogger thought that Colin was sexist during the panel. I saw the whole panel but I couldn't see it.

What??? NO. I don’t remember anything that could even be twisted that way. But thanks to my trusty camera you don’t have to take my word for it, watch it yourself. Honestly, all weekend I don’t recall him doing or saying anything that even the most sensitive, humorless SJW could take the wrong way.

SJWs get salty about Seth MacFarlane and family guy.

Local SYABM discovers he’s on blocklist

> Mediocre White Man

How to make SYABM assume the rest of your post is wrong, in just three words.

> but because the motherfucker donated some money to LGBTQIA groups and stumped for Bernie, he’s hailed as a progressive.

Pay no attention to the obvious leftist leanings in the shows you’re complaining about, such as repeatedly skewering conservatives.

> Seth MacFarlane created shows that dealt heavily in anti-black racism, antisemitism, ableism, Ace Ventura-levels of transphobia,

Yes, the idea that straight men might be disgused by the idea they’ve been fantasizing and admiring a trans woman is “transphobic”. 

Also, I don’t think the movie ever makes it clear whether Finkle was trans, or was just that desperate to escape the shame.

Oh, and spoilers for a 1993 movie.

> rampant and vicious misogyny,

Is it “misogyny” or “making fun of gender stereotypes for men AND women”?

>normalized rape culture,

It’s funny you should mention that, considering the show has downplayed F>M rape, which usually isn’t included in “rape culture”.

> pedophilia as a joke,

Also, Prom Night Dumpster Babies.

>and violent Islamophobia.

He’s an athiest who makes fun of Christians, but clearly Islam and Judaism should be exempt from mockery. He also makes jokes about violent Islam.

> He taught generations of young white guys 

Let’s see...Season 1 aired in late Jan 1999, Jan, so I guess someone born on that date would be 18. So it is, technically, generations of men. Two generations.

>that this shit was okay to say and believe because it was “just a joke” – hell, I’ll bet there’s a good Venn diagram between Family Guy fans and Trump supporters –

One of the most popular animated sitcoms in America? Yes, I should think so. Also with Hillary supporters.

> and anyone who criticized him was just some boring, humorless PC police asshole.

Including the people who complained about his “shoehorned atheism”. Because we all know how much religious people tend to be PC.

Also, I love the hypocrisy here; you’re complaining that FG’s critics are stereotyped, while stereotyping the show’s fans.

The rest of the line is “Or get ‘er done.” A reference to Larry the Cable Guy, who has a lot more than just a catchphrase. Also;

Early on in the special, Birbiglia declares that all jokes are offensive to someone. It’s a sentiment that a lot of people (not just comics) share. He smartly critiques this notion of political correctness without actually getting too political.

Oh wow, it’s almost as if someone took these quotes out of context to support their argument!

I hate so much how that cute post about the lesbian couple having a son devolved into a bunch of dumb assholes (who accuse “SJWs” of being humorless, funny enough) trying to justify their hatred of queer people. It’s fucking disgusting.
