es_ ([info]es_) wrote in [info]unfunny_fandom,
I think Aja is a prime example of the unsettling trend of using social justice as a cover just to point out how much other people fail. I've seen more of these groups than those who are genuinely concerned about these issues.

This "either you're with me or you're against me" is a ridiculous ultimatum to make, and this black and white view of the world just... I don't know. I feel alarmed by this, because any sort of mounted defense becomes perceived as denial, and only reinforces the belief that so-and-so is a racist and just doesn't want to accept it.

This dissent between two minorities arguing on whether or not there's actually racism in this context really captures the greyishness of the social issues here, and I find building a "I'm right, you're wrong" dependency on something as debatable as this is just building your house on sand, really.

It's just a big game of "I'm right, har har har" and slinking quietly back into the shadows when people point out they are wrong. Social justice is a foil to their ego, and not a cause in itself.
