I have, in my own family growing up. Both my father and my brother had it in their minds that the way to win any and all arguments was upping the decibel level and when that doesn't work, violence. Between both of those two, I've seen my mother stand back and watch them rant and rave like a 3 year old having a temper tantrum and she told them that they need to calm down. Of course, they never did (the police having to get involved at least once) and I saw my old man lose all control and fall on the floor wailing and screaming like something catastrophic happened (Mom saved money so she could take us to visit her hometown, he wanted to take that money and blow it on a Vegas trip.) So no, I don't think it's a sex/race/etc thing at all.
One, calm party telling the other, screaming temper-tantrum-having party to calm down is a million miles away from what I was talking about.
In any case, when you're at the point where there's a serious threat of physical violence you're well past the point where the phrase "tone argument" carries any weight or meaning.

I'm talking about any sort of incivility, be it a tantrum or simply cranking up the decibels in an argument or insulting behavior and/or words. When a person gets to an adult age, there's not anything out of order with expecting them to act like one, which includes courtesy and civility.

I'm not talking about yelling at people. I'm literally talking about even a mildly irritated tone. I'm talking about the kind of tone that I would not regard as, by any reasonable metric, immature, discourteous or uncivil.
Again, sometimes people have every right and reason to be annoyed.
I know for a fact that For Future Reference Only is a parody of SJWs because she includes a warning that she has able-bodied privilege. No SJW would be that self aware.
I NEED YOU ALL TO BE AS HORRIFIED AS I AM RIGHT NOW LOOK LOOK AT IT
I’m sorry but how the fuck is calling someone fat ‘girly’? Also how can you do that to your own grandmother? Taking them out to dinner is not a way of apologizing for being a fatphobic and sizeist prick.
This is a perfect analogy for the people who think they can tax other people out of the national debt, people who think they can tax other people to pay for their things, and people who think the rich will always be there to support their horrible welfare addiction.
A 1.6 trillion dollar tax increase is devastating.
We want to literally eat the rich, I don’t think you understand.
i dont give a shit about taxes i’m just hungry
wtf taxes i thought this was olive garden
Can I eat OP?
Nah im vegan
Liposuction is the worst thing to happen to us rich people eaters, how the hell are we supposed to fatten them up?
I am not, neither ethnically nor religiously. As far as I know, and going by my current family tree.
However, I am possibly related to this guy (possibly because his last name is one of our family clan's many permutations of our own, there's like research going into this and junk. Our family takes who is actually related to us very seriously). So I guess the confusion is somewhat understandable. I am frequently mistaken for Jewish, not sure why.

This weekend I had a discussion with my friends about social justice warriors
It eventually came to the logical conclusion that, being that they all have straight privilege, I auto win basically any argument I have with them
So I like this social justice stuff now
Sorry fella, but the entire point of that SJ stuff is for those straight people to get all angry and upset on your behalf, and decide for you what is best for you
Guys, this is my friend, George Bailey. George is in debt $8,000 and is thinking seriously of jumping off a bridge and committing suicide. I’ve tried telling him he has a wonderful life, but he won’t listen.
I’m hoping if this post gets enough notes, George will see that people love him and need him. The world wouldn’t be the same without him. Please, reblog this, or like it, or just spread the word.
Please save my friend George. If you don’t reblog, you have no heart.

Ahhhh, but if they try to argue with me directly, I can just repeatedly scream "CHECK YOUR STRAIGHT PRIVILEGE YOU HETERONORMATIVE ASSHAT" until I win the argument!
Of course, if said person happens to be non-white or transgendered, then the whole thing just got a whole lot more complicated

I'm of the opinion that if any of these people actually stepped outside their gated community lifestyle for more than five minutes, they'd piss their pants in mortal fear at either not knowing what to do or how to act
or in sheer terror of that large, circular, hot yellow thing in the sky

I'm having trouble parsing what the first two people are trying to say.
From what I can tell, there's this idea among social justice bloggers that one can frequently blog about social justice-related topics but still be "not a social justice blogger" as long as you're running a personal blog instead of a blog explicitly about a social justice topic.
It's one of few things about this whole phenomenon that genuinely irritates me.
I'm having trouble parsing what the first two people are trying to say.
Well, the first person is actually pretending to feel "uncomfortable" because someone else on the internet said something that isn't lock-in-step with what they think. Or maybe this person really is so broken that they can't handle someone else not thinking the same way they do
the other person has declared that instead of subjecting themselves to the horrors of a self-aware or a self-critical thought, they'll just label any and all criticisms they come across as strawmen because thinking over a first-grader's level is scary

huh i had been led to believe that she had become like really scary at some point
(*Shrug*)
Less "really scary" and more "obnoxiously self-righteous", though really that's nothing new from her.
Her blog is tolerable in small doses but I can't follow it anymore because I don't need that constant stream of self-righteous anger staring at me whenever I look at Tumblr, especially when I already agree with most of what she's arguing about.

I found this a lot funnier than I should've.

She (or ze or whatever the preferred pronouns of this person are) sure seems Kankri-ish sometimes though.

"No, I'm more oppressed!"
Looping over and over
