w**k is a four-letter word ([info]esorlehcar) wrote in [info]unfunny_fandom,
The number of people who loudly support social justice until it costs them something to do so is incredibly depressing, especially because after they completely drop all their SJ morals to avoid being angry at a friend or to pretend whatever racist/sexist/ablist thing they just did doesn't actually count, they go right back to loudly condemning others for the exact same behavior (while still passionately hating anyone who called them or their friends out when they did it, because that wasn't fair. It's delightful!)

All that means, of course, is that people who support or claim to support social justice are people, and people tend to be fucked-up hypocrites, not that people who care about social justice are more hypocritical than people who don't, but that doesn't make it any less exhausting or infuriating. And if you can't hold people who have crafted their fannish personas around fighting for social justice to a higher standard, who the hell can you?
