IMO the radicalization of the online feminist/SJ presence is not something positive.Totally agree, it's a much needed discussion. We're isolating people, stifling discussion and promoting group think and mob justice, and I think it's a frightening paradigm shift. Just the facts that the comments on this already are of the snarky type where people just say "lol oh gawd" and stuff proves exactly how badly such a discussion is needed. Such responses and attitudes are just not constructive towards engaging people in real-life social justice or critical dialogue. I've been sticking with real life activism at this point because I find that speaking with other people in real life and sort of re-learning how to respectfully disagree, introspect, and look for common ground is much more productive, will more likely affect other people and change other people's minds (or have your own mind changed), and is overall more informative than just group-think bashing and group-think agreement. In short, this article is totally needed. I don't think we

Wow, no wonder they deleted that reply. Sounds like it was a real humdinger.

Yeah, I don't know...

I think I'd be a 'radical' too if I was trying to have a discussion with a brick wall.

I've seen someone do it. I have no clue what kind of wizardry they do but they hack the fuck out of the game. They were playing as the Infected and put dozens of Witches in the goddamn SAFE ROOM.

I wasn't sure what "karnythia" is, never heard of that before. And maybe "none of us are condoning it," but that's sort of the point about what I'm writing - the isolating effects of group think and how that stifles actual dialogue.

...Did you even read the article? It talks about her at length.

I think you would have to already know who she is to know that though. The article itself never, that I can see, refers to her username "Karnythia".

Not that knowing who she is or not changes the ability to know the article is bullshit.

I was familiar with karnythia but didn't know her real name until now.

You know, "isolating people, stifling discussion and promoting group think and mob justice" is not a new thing in feminist activism. Why did you think Womanism was created? Or the Lavendar Menace? (and countless other examples, but those two have the best name recognition)

What's new is that the leveling abilities of the internet are now making it easier for voices other than the chorus of middle-class straight white women to be heard, sometimes.
