like I said, there must be some logic behind every opinion that makes sense to that person. if and when it comes down to it, it ends up just being one opinion against another and one must always keep in mind that opinions are not fact. no opinion is correct because opinions are one hundred percent subjective.
you dont need to change how you act in any major way, i would just recommend not going “I dont like your opinion, you’re wrong, end of story”. As much as i disagree with the SJW mentality I honestly believe that (a good portion of) their ideals are inherently altruistic and i understand they believe the system works a certain way and if they could make it work another it would be for the better. I disagree and think they go about it in a totally wrong way but i grok their way of thinking.
 
So you don’t believe in any absolute right or wrong? For instance, if a serial killer truly, sincerely believed that raping, torturing and cannibalizing women was “good”, would you simply say that it’s “one opinion against another”? Where is the line, or is there no line? Not trying to troll here, I’m honestly curious. I see the “morality/opinions are subjective” argument all the time, but when I ask people just look at me strangely and say that some things are obvious. Are they really? On what objective, firm basis does one define “right” or “wrong”? Does it change over time, and depend on society?

I can definitely get behind what you’re saying. What I consider a “stupid opinion” is one that’s based on false information or faulty logic (not just an opinion that is different than mine). In those cases I don’t go “you’re wrong, end of story”, but instead try to educate them and convince them otherwise.  
tl;dr: I agree with you that just because an opinion is different than mine, that doesn’t make it bad. I just don’t like uneducated and unfounded opinions.

You know, when I posted that, I was just trying to mess with you by making an opinion that was completely contrary to yours to see what you’d do, but now I’m curious. What do you even mean by valid? And if an opinion is valid, how should that change how we act? Because I find the word valid a bit vague in this case.

there must be some level of logic behind every opinion that makes sense to the owner. some experience that has left that person with some knowledge about how something works. you can disagree with it all you want, but you should still respect it and the person who expressed it.

I know there’s supposed to be some kind of message there, but all I see is:
 
“whine whine whine whine whine whine whine whine”

I don’t see what’s quite so bad about this. All this is saying is that you should consider the perspectives of people who might feel more disadvantaged than you. Is that really such a bad thing?

The irony is, if I stopped to imagine what Privilege REALLY looked liked, I’d imagine Pinkie Pony.

I DON’T WANNA BE in the company of others of my OWN sex, dammit!

I’m a bit confused. Reading the previous articles makes it look like the site is actually a legit news source, but then they pull some kind of sexist bullshit like this. What gives?

Have a look at the link about Pinkie Pony someone posted in the comments of the latest round stable post. Come back and talk to me about Privilege.

@SunnySide  
Or a Tumblur Feminist Privlege checklist, and a Transexual Privelge checklist, and pretty much list the shit Purple Tinker and Yamino pull that no one would tolerate elsewhere. And possibly one about Female Victim privilege, which drastically outshines white male privelge
Cayne

OP, whether male or female. Get out. We don’t need your social justice pseudointellectual toxin in this fandom.

Also isn’t 5: insanely hypocritical with all those fat fedora stereotypes tumblr feminists love to post?
 
How about you check YOUR privilege?
Background Pony #8A5B
Can you imagine Purple Tinker stealing from her con, harrasing her con, and being a drama whore but being able to make the debate about her Transexual Status rather than her terrible actions? A guy wouldn’t be able to pull that off, so that looks a lot like Privlege to me.
 
Pinkie Pony drew child porn and exposed her sister to it (molestia porn doesnt show up when you google celestia unless you disable the filter to look for porn, and how could she have avoided her sister seeing the child porn she drew if she posted it on her tumblr and never bothered to monitor her sibling?) then proceeded to harras a guy for a year, tell rape victimins who don’t like her trivilisin the movement to shut up, sell merchandise and try to profit off it, and laugh at a guy being raped. Why was it ok for her to use her Female Victmin Privlege to make people think this was ok? The only reason Female Victmin Privilege should exist is if woman are mentally, morally and intellectually inferior. And I don’t believe that. How about you throw out your Female Victmin Privilege and stop trying to use it in ways that would get a guy laughed at?
 
Seriously stop using your gender to step out of being held to the same standards as a guy.
 
And what’s up with Yamino writing a comic taking the piss out of religion (people’s way of life) getting uber offended by a cross eyed pegasus, muting disabled people who spoke up in derpy’s defence, deleting reaosanble comments and sending the flaming mess to Amy, waiting for the drama to die down then postin a blatant shit stirring post (the season 3 finale one. If you dont see, imagine if Yamino was a guy and you’d probably get it) then using her gender and transsexual status to appear the victmin?
 
Throw away all Female and Transexual Victim Privileges, judge yourselves the way you would judge a man, then we’ll talk. Faust thinks you’re twisted version of Feminism is a load of shit to (remember that power puff girls episode?)
