Despite the current allegations, we firmly believe that the Iron Trench™ is still a company worthy of our credits.

It is at this time that SkyF3ar FF Inc. would like to place an investment of a certain number of credits into the firms longstanding production line. In exchange for this investment of around 500-700 credits, SkyF3ar FF Inc. would be looking for a return of 1 stack of iron blocks for the when the time is convenient.

All the Best,

-SkyF3ar Featherfalling Inc.

This thread is a disgusting, practically propagandic mockery of social justice that seeks to discredit it by making activists look like overreacting idiots. You guys are jerks.

So you think it's fine to call other people jerks (contemptibly foolish) because you interpret their light-hearted tomfoolery as an attack on social justice? Might be time to take a breath of fresh air and stop over-interpreting everything, dlgn...

Overinterpreting? TJ, the whole joke is "lol look at how stupid and petty social justice activists are".

I'd like to specifically address the part about "tomfoolery", because it's a variant of the "it's just a joke" excuse. I don't see, and never have, how something being a joke makes it automatically acceptable. To me, it seems like saying "calm down, it's just a joke" is just another way of saying "I don't care about how it affects other people; it amuses me, and that's what matters." Jokes are extremely powerful as a form of propaganda; take the infamous Jim Crow, for example, used to justify racist laws in the US for a long time. When someone makes a joke about activists, people who see it think "lol, stupid overreacting activists", which leads to people ignoring important things they say; just like the "feminazi" stereotype was harmful because it discredited feminism, the social justice warrior stereotype is harmful because it acts as a way to shut down valid conversation on the topic of social and legal equality (look at some of Techno's responses to my posts on the subject for examples). I probably shouldn't have called you jerks, I know you didn't intend to do anything wrong, but it gets very frustrating dealing with constant mockery.

If anyone would like to continue this conversation, please do so in my randomness thread.
