User blog comment:VedranTheII/At what point is a writer like Cardin Winchester?/@comment-25555436-20150525224026/@comment-24891101-20150528194328

Come off it. That's a gross exaggeration, and you know it. You don't have numbers. I don't have numbers. The wild-ass guess you provide is complete conjecture, and is incredible, in the strictest sense.

And stop with the Scotsman bullshit. They're on the website. They're therefore part of the larger community. Nor is there a single Tumblr community. It's massively decentralized.

Bespectacled: Note for the record my objections are strictly to those who play identity politics to win, as it were, and apparently have a tenuous grasp on reality. Those who compete in the Oppression Olympics, those who make broad, sweeping generalizations (as a certain person here is doing) with no regard for the reality of the situation, emphasising their own subjective experiences over logic and facts, those who delegitimize the validity of psychological triggers, mental illness, sexual violence, and the suffering of the GRSM community, who demand all accomodate them, who fail to recognize that not everything is about them, who fail to realize that media can cover any topic it damn well wants, those who invent new categories of identity labels out of whole cloth, who deny the existence of certain strains of racism, and those who promote censorship or advocate thought policing.

These people exist, and they're tarring the good name of feminism. I have no problem with those who advocate for the rights of GRSM, who oppose inequality, who want legitimately to improve society. LGB should have the freedoms of the straight. TI should be respected and recognized. Awareness of sexual violence should increase. Institutionalized racism and sexism ought be ended. Class inequality should be minimized. Prejudice towards none, in short. I wholeheartedly support them. But it can be taken too far. Some fail to see the big picture, and fail to see that certain things are not issues, and the ways in which they handle them on Tumblr are not healthy.

For reference, I'm American far left, which makes me a European left-centrist.
