In recent years, the term Social Justice Warrior has arrived, and it seems that the term has been used & abused by many sides (Especially Republicans/Conservatives), and those under this mantle have been seemingly blamed for just about anything under the sun. Oh, them evil SJWs! Then feminized Ghostbusters! They limit free speech! They're all special snowflakes & safe space makers! Some manner of what I mentioned above has been spouted by somebody in what seems like the past 5 years, and given our political climate at this moment in time, it has only gotten more venomous. However, I'm here to tell you that SJWs.....don't practice Social Justice. Not even in the slightest. What do they practice, you ask?
Bullshit Justice! These people (Men & Women) aren't Social Justice Warriors, nor do they practice Social Justice. These individuals should not be called SJWs. They should be called BJWs. Now, you might be asking yourself, what's the difference between Social Justice & Bullshit Justice. That's easy!
Let's start off with what real Social Justice actually is. Social Justice.....is helping the poor. Social Justice.....is fighting for equal rights for gays, lesbians, and transgendered individuals. Social Justice.....is improving the infrastructure of your town or city. Social Justice.....is adding a diverse set of characters to a game, movie, or comic book to acknowledge the wider world. Social Justice.....is . In short, Social Justice is anything that actually helps & improves people and society. Social Justice has a legitimate point & purpose on the planet, but thanks to the twisting & manipulation from propaganda, the term has been poisoned. Thanks to people who usurped Social Justice, the ideology has been potentially tainted beyond repair.
Now, onto Bullshit Justice. This one's a little easier to explain: Bullshit Justice is fake justice! Bullshit Justice is adding a diverse set of characters to a game or movie for the purpose of appealing to people who might not even have heard of the game/movie in question. Bullshit Justice is making an issue out of something that shouldn't be. Bullshit Justice is what fake Democrats/Liberals believe in, and what fake Democrats/Liberals push (Emphasis on the word fake). Bullshit Justice is when people (Especially girls/women) called the Angry Video Game Nerd sexist when he said he didn't want to see Ghostbusters 2016 because he didn't like the trailers. That's Bullshit Justice!
So, if the differences between actual Social Justice & Bullshit Justice are so obvious, why is it that most of us can't tell the difference? Because, it's the simple fact that most of us don't want to know the difference between the two. We've become so desensitized by the shitstorm that BJWs have cause, we simply can't tell the difference, and don't want to get up to see what's what. You know what? I don't completely blame you! It's understandable why most of us have become desensitized! We see the term Social Justice Warrior blurted out on social media so much, it seems inescapable! The problem is that most of us know that it's not real Social Justice, but we don't even want to lay a finger on the issue, and thus we're making it worse, whether we want to admit it or not! I pray that to whoever reads this, the one thing you take from this is that things are far more clear than what all of the sides are saying.
To put it simply, know the fucking difference between the two, and stop perpetrating the lies & horseshit! Maybe, just maybe, we can undo the damage, and educate people on what's what!
Well, that was my random burst of rage here on the Heavy Metal Otaku blog. Hopefully, I won't have to do another one of these for a long time. Anyway, look for to a more pleasant wrestling-themed anime review tomorrow.

I never touched any of the Mass Effect games. I only thought that ME: Andromeda was the right catalyst for me to finally make this post, given the shitstorm it's been causing.
