re: (Update on 22) ITT we make fun of tumblr-posting social justice warriors (SJWs)

Here's what I don't get. When this whole entire "movement" or whatever with all these other kin freaks and such first started, how did it ever take hold enough to where it entered the public? Why wouldn't the first 4 or 5 weirdos who said they identify as a stapler be met with "shut the frick up you idiot" and that be the end of it?
