ETA: Thanks to everyone who commented on this post about feminism; your perspectives really helped. I did edit the tumblr post a little. I've also un-privated the previous post.
Yeah, as soon as I look at social justice on the internet outside of fandom, I start to feel like it's just about a lot of screaming. And maybe that's because fandom IS on the internet, and we're talking about things on the internet. While the other movements are mostly talking about things off it, yet using the same weird combative blogger tone that doesn't really seem to get anyone anyplace.
