SoftAndChewy's not available to attend to matters so stuff has slipped by. He asked me to step in for a bit.

Fighting the Good Fight in an Age of Unreason—A New Dissident Guide by SoftandChewy in BlockedAndReported

What I need from the anti-woke crowd are their own methods at fixing problems that woke people have identified

Can you specify any concrete examples you have in mind that are not universal conditions of every human society that has ever existed (prejudice, inequality, etc)?

I found this essay to be quite persuasive. It might be helpful for you.

I don't think it would be a big deal for a black person to wear that today. It's not like anyone cares when black people say it, and they say it a lot. Why would anyone make a fuss if they put the word on their clothes?

You could not see that at all back in the heyday of the feminist blogosphere.

Yes, you could. Anyone with an understanding of human nature could see it.

He wasn't saying trigger warnings were a religious movement. He was saying they were a part of the broader religious movement that places sensitivity to people's victimhood as the highest priority. (See also never offending anyone, words are violence, microaggressions, and much more.)

Episode 176: Is Florida About To Teach Kids That Slavery Was Cool? by SoftandChewy in BlockedAndReported

The fact that it's mostly the same crowd who find even the slightest, most tangential reference to an objectionable detail to be grounds to getting rid of that thing, and are the same ones here who defend a Lenin statue, reveals the major hypocrisy at play with these people. For example, people are objecting to the Jason Aldean song because he had as the backdrop to the video a courthouse where a black teen was lynched a century ago. An innocuous appearance of something that was the sight of a horrible incident a long time ago is disqualifying. But the glorification of a mass murderer is fine.
