Will Ng Ever Be Crowded With Sjws?

[Splats]

With the recent shitstorm of SJW (= social justice warriors, for who didn't know), kicking off slowly with the misogyny-debate concerning the portrayal of the majority of female characters in Grand Theft Auto V and ever since only becoming more problematic with YouTube personality JonTron calling PlayStation Now "the most painfully retarded thing he's seen in a while"about a month ago, followed by a barrage of hate by JonTron's (primarily SJWs) followers and corresponding hate posts on Tumblr (the place SJWs call home).
Of course, let us not forget the recent scandal involving indie developer/innocent victim of sexism/manipulativ whore Zoe Quinn's alleged sleeping-herself-to-the-top, more specifically having sex with different writers from different gaming journalism websites (ranging from Rock, Paper, Shotgun to Kotaku) in exchange for promotions for her (then-)upcoming video game Depression Quest, and the immensely mixed opinions on the matter all across the interwebs, from SJWs and others alike.

Now, my question for you guys is, with the white knight, moral high horse bullshit exploding this quickly, do you think it's just a matter of time before beloved ol' Newgrounds is full of them?

[SentForMe]

I doubt it. I can't give you a particularly good reason, except that as long as I have been around NG hasn't cared at all about political correctness and I don't see that changing anytime soon. It is one of it's strengths, frankly. It's not that this website is perfect, but they are lean harder toward free speech than political correctness, which is a strength that I really appreciate.

not really
SJWs need the following:
1. a large, faceless enemy (e.g. "patriarchy") to rage against, and
2. an audience

For SJWs to do what they do, they need a solid number of people on their side and a renewable supply of people to argue with over trivial bullshit and non-issues.

They can come here and start ranting about whichever group of people they've decided is responsible for their failure in life, but NG simply doesn't have enough people already here to either support them or to argue with them.
instead, SJWs will encounter the one thing that renders them worthless, which is apathy.

She probably isn't.

Anyway, I think if they tried hard enough, they could possibly overpower us.

I imagine about 30-50 SJWs, creating multiple alts and such, spamming the BBS with shit threads and shit replies and all they ever do is complain about misogyny and all that shit SJWs complain about.

It overwhelms the staff and the mods, forcing them to reset the BBS or something.

Realistically speaking, it'll never happen, though.
A SJW wouldn't want to be caught dead with any one of us.

[DM692]

Just ignore that shit dude

[Vertyx]

It's not going to happen. NG has changed quite a bit over the years, but it never gave in to political correctness.

[NerdLiife]

I'd imagine not simply because that i'm aware, Newgrounds isn't as heavily populated as other sites/forums such as Reddit, 4Chan, tumblr, Twitter etc. I mean you could have a few, but that's probably about it.

[Makakaov]

Don't worry, there will always be me.

[tox]

I doubt newgrounds will ever be filled right to the top of people that are social worriors

[Voltage]

sometimes I'd play a SJW card to see a reaction out of curiosity, but then again I secretly live as a SJW superhero, rallying up protesters because some 'good kid' accidentally robbed a store, then accidentally tried to kick the shit out of a cop who accidentally killed him

justice! JUSTICE FOR #BROWN!! i think that's who that kid was anyway. or was that darren wilson. i don't know, i'm a SJW i don't properly research my facts

Look dude, I tried, I really tried and I'm convinced different methods just don't work here.

you wanna know something funny? out of curiosity I stalked that thread. the last post on there is, "welcome to NG, read these rules and I'm a cocks*****" etc -- well, you click the link to go to "rules" and it doesn't go to any rules.

Holy shit.

Also, the forum looks awesome in 2011 why the fuck is it all gloom and doom now

[All-American-Badass]

I honestly doubt SJWs would target newgrounds in droves. I think the legacy this site has created over the past 10 years has made it a lost cause to them. and that's good we don't want them here anyway.

[NekoMika]

SJWs wouldn't get far here anyways, pretty sure most if not all would end up banned for trying to say rules don't apply to them and that banning them for being retarded is "oppressing them." lol

Hell yeah, it's good thing that one can simply say homosexualism is a mental disease without starting a flamewar that will lead to some bans accusing people of homophobia.

[Jercurpac]

No, making an animation or a game takes too much effort. Some of them really believe in what they say, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say most of them probably do, but they do it in an easy, preaching-to-the-choir kind of way that gets the most response for the least effort.

Posting an inflammatory Blog or Vlog calling somebody out for being offensive in whatever flavor of the week kind of way that's going around gets you the most attention for the least amount of work. Most of these bloggers aren't willing to have an original opinion, much less create something that takes passion and effort. They just want to dogpile. I'm not saying they're always wrong, but it seems to be a big circle-jerk of people agreeing with each other.

When you tell them that their whining is annoying, they say they're being repressed and they disregard the fact that you've got as much of a right to whine about things as they do.
Those folks have serious issues.

[kazumazkan]

they'll be run off before they get a chance to spread their bullshit here.
it'll be like a massacre

[kanef]

it kinda already is since there's people who whine about racism when the only traces of it here are like four skinheads and a dozen ironic shitposters

[orangebomb]

Newgrounds isn't the kind of place where SJWs would be coming here in huge numbers, and if anything, would easily be put down by folks here and for good reason. There are always going to be one or two trolls that may slip through the cracks, but there is no way that they have any lasting power.

The problem with SJWs is that they either exaggerate the issue to the point where it becomes overwhelming and literately turns off the common folk to their beliefs, or just too stupid to be taken seriously, but will be defended by even more idiots which defeats the whole point of conversation in the first place.

that's the only thing that will not be tolerated here, sure we all may do racist jokes here and there but being straight up racist and and spewing out racist shit will not be taken lightly like calling someone a n----er etc.

[Magical-Zorse]

Newgrounds was founded on being politically incorrect. That's how we are and will be from now until the end of time.

Damn straight.

What does that even mean, something "offended you"? OK, so? Does the world have to cater to you just because you got offended?
