That 'article' is clearly trolling. Just read the response to the comments.

One of the comments from the answer post got it right, I think:

I'm going to explain this one time and one time only. This isn't a satire on "racism", it's a satire on privileged, idiot white girls who identify as "feminists".

The joke is that these girls hate Asian women because Asian women tend to have more conservative views on relationships, and don't inherently hate all men.

"Anne" is just a character that's supposed to resemble this one type of unbelievably annoying girl. If you ever someone like her, you'd know what she was talking about. Just think of it like a skit on SNL.

There is a word for this phenomenon but I can't remember it, when some people are so absurd in real life that it is impossible to distinguish them from satire. Those people exist and NAS got a good name for them: https://twitter.com/Nas/statuses/444303082118070272

Poe's Law is what you're looking for, I think.

Thank you, that was it!

It's a sad state of affairs when I can't tell if this is a parody or not. This seriously reads like half the shit I see posted online haha

Yup.


I personally think most of the SJW phenomenon is one big troll that got out of hand.

[Moniker]

Aw man, if only my ex had been a Toshiba robot... Dating a replicant is on my bucket list.

[Blackbird]

If this "article" is actually serious, I would be very sad. But judging from the comically overt racism, I'm 99% sure this person is trolling.

To that end it's a little bit genius, but a shame that for most the point will be lost.

It's a bit overarching to assume that caucasian women are generally feminist banner holders and Asian women remain more traditional/conservative - but there's certainly some truth to it, especially given the contrast.

But then you have subservience by force, Japan, and traditionalism by acceptance, the rest of Asia. Personally I don't find Asian women attractive for subservience: more visual characteristics, which plays into a type of sex appeal, and femininity.

Anyway, since I almost made this thread myself to appease everyone bored at work and on coffee breaks the shmups world over, I should probably contribute some amusement:

Only heterosexual men are targets of rape in prison. Gay men get a pass:



Girl fat shamed when she realises she's the same as a blubberous online pet who sleeps and eats all day:

thin privilege kinda hurts on a hard chair.

I'm going to have to stop reading wtfsocialjustice.

[Damocles]

Dafuq is that website? It's like a thousand LiveJournals rolled into one steaming pile of angst, horrible attempts at satire, and self-help feelgood bullshit.

Happy to take some credit, let's continue!

Fat people incensed that the first lady is trying to prevent children from becoming obese. What a social injustice!:



Some people think Cleopatra was African:

Answers on a postcard as to what this person is talking about:




When someone's negligence with food and subsequent super obesity makes them surgically inoperable, and all medical practitioners guilty of 'fat shaming':

In other words, she's straight:

lol!

i sure hope that's parody too

It's actually quite difficult to reply to this thread with any degree of sincerity but here goes.

Here's most depressing thing I find about the whole thread: It's not the retarded angst-ridden testimonies of a bunch of trolls/immature morons that have misappropriated terms like "entitlement" and "privilege" to defer their own responsibility. It's the seemingly smart regulars that undermine the entire idea of social justice, and appear to be casting the entire concept as a misguided left-wing fabrication. Do people really think that privilege (when referring specifically to race and gender) doesn't exist?

Of course this is the internet, so perhaps I'm misinterpreting everything and everyone is actually well aware that these are actually genuine issues. Maybe people are merely responding to the misappropriations, but I haven't seen any evidence of this throughout the topic.

[rancor]

Do people really think that privilege (when referring specifically to race and gender) doesn't exist?

No - it exists, but why limit it to those two factors? There's wealth, nationality, attractiveness, education, genetics, intelligence, etc. There exists a wide range of people, and most of us on the planet range somewhere between a stillborn infant and a billionaire oligarch. There's an amount of afforded at every step between the two. An attractive blonde model from America has more privilege than a retarded, limbless dwarf from Estonia. So what? That's the way the world works. When I'm not utilizing my powers as a white male to rape and oppress, I DO sometimes think about these things... Is there anything I can do about it outside of my immediate kingdom? Not really. Life is unfair. Work hard, do the best you can do, and maybe some things will go your way.

couldn't have said it better myself.

rancor:

Absolutely, and of course the more granular you get with it, the less relevant it is. Do I think that transgendered Guatamalan Lesbians should be at the forefront of Western societies' agenda? No. But when it comes to women (51% of the population) or non-white people (not easy to Google, but it's obviously a majority) I do think it's relevant. Ultimately my point is: It's easy to shame idiots for misappropriating concepts, but the concepts themselves are still important.
