It's logic, Jim, but not as we know it
I logged onto Twitter just now to find an 8 day old reply challenging me for saying I didn't find the Sad Puppies sudden conversion to diversity convincing (why was it that Vox Day was kicked out of SFWA again. someone remind me. Appalling racism, wasn't it?). So I pointed out that attacking 'social justice warriors' sends some pretty mixed messages about diversity. I had five instant responses, one called me a liar, the other four attacked me for being a social justice warrior.
Give them enough rope....
Well, actually give them any rope....
Based on that we probably shouldn't worry about them inviting in the #GamersGaters, because clearly they're every bit as bad in their own right. Yeuch.
Later: I've now had a more reasonable response from someone else, but he's desperately trying to find a way to say my disability activism isn't identitty politics and doesn't make me a social justice warrior, even though SFnal narratives around disability and identitty are specifically something I'm trying to change.
