When did the whole "Anti SJW" bangwagon start? -

[Gorillagorillagorilla]

So I remember sometime in 2015 to 2016 where right the fuck out of nowhere, a bunch of channels came out to call bullshit on the then novel phenomenon of "SJW's." It seemed that the amount of channels dedicated to the subject were endless. Off the top of my mind, I can name Razorfist, Sargon, Shoeonhead (the only one I still watch), that guy with the blue whitetail as an avatar, MundaneMatt, Boogie, Steven Crowder, prageru, and a ton of others.

SO my question is where the hell did all these channels sprout from as to me, this stampede seems fairly random so I thought the resident experts here could help me see the light.

 

[The Last Stand]

I suspect right after Trump's inauguration.

Cannot figure out when SJW craze started through memory. Use process of elimination. Not 2012, 2013, iffy on 2014. Seems that your original dates are correct, popped up around those times and the Anti-SJW reaction popped up just as quickly.

 

[Draza]

Mostly during 2014 when gamergate happen. SJW expose themselves fully during that time, and Anti-SJWs like Sargon and the rest faught back.

When I was on tumblr in 2013 or so (been gone for years) there were a bunch of anti SJW blogs that were basically people larping as disney villains or some shit trying to refute LGBT/feminist posts. Tumblr was nowhere near as worse as it is today but the concept of being "nonbinary" and yaoi fangirls larping as gay men were still popular. There were a ton of posts about how straight cis white people deserve to die. I think their cringiness and general uncoolness helped better cement snowflake ideology in the teenage mind.

EDIT: oh fuck I just noticed that glorious typo in the title

Out of nowhere? This happened well into Gamergate, which started in 2014.
That's when people like Sargon, Matt, etc. jumped on the bandwagon.

The first time I saw larger anti-SJW sentiment was with Anita's kickstarter in 2012.

Thanks for the info guys. So now how did these people slowly break down into the laughing stocks they really are? Because it seemed everyone worshipped these folks and about a year ago, they were associated with lolcowdom.

Most of us view the world through our own self-perception. For me, I think it was 2012-2013 that kind of brought this to the surface. I remember on a different website forum, almost overnight, this one user arrived and started preaching the word of Wokeness.

She was annoying as sin, and kind of redpilled me against SJWs after that because almost every topic where there was “fun”, this little jerk would come along and become some sort of militant Miss Manners, and make people feel bad.

As for what prompted this? I can offer hypothesis but little else. Could it have been courage from Obama winning a 2nd term? Might have been fuel to the fire, but what lit it?

Gaymergate like others said

Anti sjw sentiment was bubbling under the surface during the early 10s but took off during gamer gate which started in 2013-2014. The SJWs were tolerated by the more moderate liberals as the party needed to be unified in order to legalise gay marriage which was the sole issue that kept many moderates in the left.

Anti SJW sentiment and the decline of left wing parties are definitely linked. And as the anti sjw movement grew the Democratic party weakened and this was one of the main reasons trump one.

It was basically a response to the 2013 uprising of the popularity of people like Anita Sarkeesian and Laci Green, and the small progress they made on getting their stupid agenda to change things in certain circles they were never a part of in the first place.

It only hit fever pitch during GamerGate

Anti-SJWs eventually became what they fought against and hate, or were SJWs themselves but no one really knew at the time.

 

[ES 148]

SJWs don't exist.

 

[CIA Nigger]

I'd argue it started around the 2012-3 era when social justice and Tumblr's culture bubbled up to the mainstream. By 2014 it was in full swing and stuff like Common Filth's Tumblrista videos, attack helicopter jokes, and towards the end of the year #GamerGate popped up.

 

[The Iconoclast]

Anti-SJWism has been around since before GG, but I feel like GG is what blew it up into an entire culture.

Thanks for the info guys. So now how did these people slowly break down into the laughing stocks they really are? Because it seemed everyone worshipped these folks and about a year ago, they were associated with lolcowdom.

I can't really pinpoint when the culture started to fall apart. But I can definitely point to some contributing factors, in a very rough chronological order that may not be totally accurate.

Also note that the descriptions may not be totally accurate either, I'm working off my memory.

When Woolybumblebee started an autistic civil war against Sargon
When Sargon decided to try and become more than just a youtuber, possibly starting with his petition to suspend social justice courses (which Woolybumblebee caught wind of, cried censorship, and started another autistic war against sargon over)
When the Satiritician did an unironic commentary video of Shoeonhead's parody of bedroom feminists, thinking it was serious (why this would be important is that I feel it brought more attention to how these people pick the lowest common denominator of people for easy content)
Spinosauruskin being an autistic fuck to Sargon
When Bearing lost his channel for using a TDI bear as his avatar, and all of Bearing's fans incorrectly tried to argue that his use of the bear fell under fair use even though it didn't and started harassing a channel that had nothing to do with any of that
Speaking of Bearing, his constant Kristi Winters and Michael Rowlands A-Logging, which, while I can't speak for anyone else, got me so fucking bored of his shit that I stopped watching his videos altogether, because they became downright awful
Candid
When Cognitive Thought showed how insecure he was about his intelligence and career and did an unironic commentary on TLDR's satirical parody of anti-SJWs, which made him a laughingstock
The Kraut saga and the rapid rise of the Alt-Right in tandem with it (Metokur actually points out in a Warski stream that he's noticed that SJW content has kinda dried up, and that the alt-right was starting to become the main target for the skeptics)
Bloodsports and Liberalistism
Mundane Matt and his boulder escapades
and I believe now we're in the saga of embarrassing information being revealed about some of the skeptic hanger-ons, like Buntyking being a cuck and Matt being a creep. And apparently, there's more.

 

[Maggots on a Train v2]

In early May 2014, some goon trolls tried to start a sexism in Star Citizen shitstorm, but the media and all of left social media weren't in lockstep yet, and the troll job fizzled. You could also still point out that it was probably a troll, or she was a screeching idiot, without getting dogpiled. Since "she" disappeared and never tried to cash in on gamergate, I'm sure it was trolls and not a real woman.

Anti-SJWs became jokes when they became plentiful and somewhat mainstream (I know, weird) They stopped tackling serious topics and turned into people who literally complain about anything and everything in modern culture.

 

[Diesel Boogaloo]

I remember some happenings when Atheism+ happened, so after Elevatorgate and the Dear Muslima incident. There was tons of shit thrown both ways, but I don't recall any typical anti-SJW at that moment.
I know that Thunderfoot only became one in summer 2012 after some email slapfight with PZ Meyers for not being SJW enough about unwanted sexual advances on cons and started making anti-SJW videos later that year.

So I'd say the typical anti-SJW movement started in 2012.

 

[Some JERK]

2001

 

[Eryngium]

2008-2012 were the golden age for the internet then shit started hitting the fan around 2014 when our precious memes became mainstream burning out memes within months that had lasted years.

If you didn’t prentend to hate the old memes and internet culture you would be “cringe”, I think this lead to a lot of people doing a 180 on internet culture to be “cool” first it was athiests, and now it’s politics but people seem to be realizing that stoping yourself from having fun and acting politically correct and “enlightened” just makes you a re.tard that hates yourself.
