whether you agree w/ him or not, his packaging of his message has been harmful to community unity, persistently.

Agreed, however I worry that aggressive SJWs can be just as poisonous. Equality for all, but extremism is extremism.

IMO, "aggressive SJWs" as you say are: 1. regrettable, unfortunate 2. totally understandable given all the structural bias

but what else is also bad is gaslighting someone by calling them "extreme" b/c you don't understand their frustration.

also, "aggressive" is totally subjective. I'm sure there are plenty of think i am, tho i wouldn't label myself as such.

so basically, i think having an "us vs them" debate over what's acceptable SJW is... pointless bullshit.
