No, I don't feel the need to let you pretend to be ignorant about your defense of a horrible practice that has destroyed people's lives. Yeah, you are just going to continue to pretend that I defend some kind of practice. I don't have to pretend anything. You're the one who swooped in with ridiculous claims when I first pointed out the failure rate of attempts to alter a person's sexual orientation.

Ooooo a new victim. Someone not versed in the politics of the BSN. Should we school him/her?! 😂 I'm just kidding but this place is interesting. I don't need to be schooled on some messed up stuff. I'm fine as it is, thank you very much.

Conversion therapy is so fucked up and cruel that you most be a sociopath to champion it just because you changed from "straight" to "biromantic" on your own sweet time. LMAO to compare this to the traumatic hell that is conversion therapy for gay kids. Absurd. LMAO "I'm the farthest thing from conservative." If you are not a troll, get some help to develop an ounce of empathy. Goodbye. What in the actual fuck are you talking about? When did I say forceful conversion therapy was good? You're responding to someone talking about torturing gay people to be straight. That is clearly what is being disussed here -- converting gay people into straight people. Why you would respond this way if you don't think torturing gay people to be straight is viable is beyond me.

Ok here's an allegory for my reply in that conversation: - Many people who have been tortured in failed attempts to learn how to play piano is a proof against your ridiculous claim that people can learn how to play piano. - And many people who learned how to play piano ( unrelated to torture ) makes the claim justified. Understand now?

Understand now? How the hell is being gay anything like learning to play the piano? Attempts to alter a person's sexual orientation have a zero percent success rate and only has a ton of ruined lives to show for those efforts. Methods for teaching people how to play the piano did not spring from a talentless piano player attempting beat the ability into small children. And we've returned to your sick idea that torture victims just need to want it more instead of it being wrong to torture them. It is wrong to torture people for being gay.. And yet you keep insisting that the victims are the ones to blame because they didn't want it enough.

How the hell is being gay anything like learning to play the piano? How is helping a stranger with carrying heavy bags ANYTHING like the Samaritan helping a person in the desert after they have been beaten up? Do you even allegory? And yet you keep insisting that the victims are the ones to blame because they didn't want it enough. And yet you keep insisting that I keep insisting on something that you decided I insist upon. I never said that. Quote me.

You can't think critically, you can't connect the dots and you don't pay attention, you are stuck in your lala-land with whatever you have imagined I said besides my countless attempts to explain what I have meant. I wasn't referring to the practice that you were talking about even in my first original reply, not ONCE have I referred to the practice you were talking about since then.

I have been silent for the past few pages because I still dont think we can move forward with OP's original discussion until we reach some agreement about what SJW actually means.
weve seen five different definitions in this thread alone.... i think we need a poll or something, do it democratic style, at least for the purposes of this discussion

SJW is just another artificial word construct that has been created by the opposition of social justice movements. Same as antifa. Who could possibly disagree on being against fascism, but the word is used to dennounce people being opposed to the far right.

Well, some people in this thread seem to believe SJWs are a real, apparent threat that either made Bioware write the game a certain way or else wrote the game themselves. While I think that the people they know as SJWs are just an unorganized rabble of loud extremists that dont represent the left, I'm willing to use someone elses definition for the sake of discussing why they think these people are powerful enough to cause a AAA gaming company's biggest IP to fail. that is still what this thread is about, right?

Because they drank the kool aid being served by certain interested parties. Just like that member arguing in favor of turning gays straight was using the typical evangelical talking points. Incest and bestiality mentioned in the same breath as belonging to the LGBT community. Something's not even worth a definition because the people using these definitions are subscribing to a political or religious agenda. They just use talking points interested parties have fed them.

In gaming I would suggest the term SJW is applied to a situation where: - the main protagonist is not a (white) male - females are not sexualised in a manner attractive to men - female characters are not deemed to be pretty enough - anything other than straight women (or attractive lesbians) are around to either be romanced or have it depicted - women feature in a prominent role / have issues that are not related to the male character (I.e. a Bechtel test).
So basically a whole load of misogyny, sexism and homophobia, occasionally sprinkled with some causal racism.
One thing I have observed is that those who are the most ardent come from the US, however that is merely a personal observation.
