My friend became a tumblr SJW. - What do you do when this happens?

[MangledTwot]

So, one of my mates who I used to talk to frequently now just talks about how men are evil and shit about white people on her twitter now. (She's pale as, no surprise there) It's pretty sad, it has consumed her life.

My question is: What do you do when your friends become fucking morons like this?

Normally just give them time. Its almost always a fad and eventually calms down after they realize no one cares about their idiot bullshit and it's not getting them any extra attention or affection

What if they decide to crank it to 11 until they get a reaction tho?

 

[timecop]

cut them off cause it's only gonna get worse
also consider the tried and true act of not making friends on tumblr

Fuel burns a lot faster when you open up the throttle. Idiocy, when its just a single person atleast, works much the same way

Make a thread.*

*don’t actually make a thread.

Cut them off slowly.

Do it too fast and you become the enemy. Do it by telling them and you look like the enemy. You gotta just ween them off, and then cut contact with them. Let them fuck up on their own. They may come back, or they may throw you under the bus, either way you see what kind of person they really are.

 

[ICametoLurk]

Kill them.

Hope that they'll snap out of it soon, otherwise dumb them.
Might sound harsh but a friend like that might only upset you in the future.

God has blessed you with a one woman shit show, sit back and enjoy it.

I try not to cut them off immediately. If it gets real bad I might block them on social media for a while, but it usually is a phase, especially shortened when they realize no one cares about their dumb bullshit.

is she ugly? If yes cut her off. If not, keep an eye on her, but from the distance.

There are normally abandoned cabins in the deep woods. You should invite your friend to a nice hike in the woods, lock her in an abandoned cabin, and only let her out once she's calmed down. Depending on her weight, you may need to adjust her diet until she no longer looks like a feminist.

Start writing their OP and archiving their shit.

 

[Hui]

Dox them

What I did was eat my friend that this happened to. First I shot them in the back of the head. Then I made sure to cut them up into pieces. Then I would usually make a stew.

I'd ease out of talking to them for a while. Politics are more important to these people than genuine feelings and connections.
Tumblr SJW politics and their ilk are definitely fads, but how fast one can climb their way out of those echo chambers depends on the person. In some cases, it's over with quickly while some really unfortunate 30+ year-olds cling to it.

Whatever path you decide taking, good luck. Things will be okay.

 

[CIA Nigger]

Either 2 things will happen, and it tends to depend on how many of their friends also bought into the Tumblr brand of politics. Either they will realize that obsessing over politics is hampering their ability to have friends or discussions with people, or they'll keep doubling down to the point of using blocklists and burning bridges with everyone else, eventually possibly ending up with they/them pronouns and a new "trans identity" they discovered despite not having dysphoria ever.

Even if the latter happens though, honestly who cares. I've seen so many people I knew online go down the rabbit hole at this point that you're better off not dwelling over it.

 

[DuckSucker]

Chill out and let it pass/sort itself out.

For me, it was a high school fad that drew the attention of some people I regret meeting. One of my friends grew up off tumblr and she's been used to that site's community for probably 9 years. I waited, but I don't think she'll ever change in the near future so I just gradually stopped talking to her. If you just ignore them, worse that'll happen is that they'll put you on a block list.
