He really meant well, but Sarkeesian, no matter what you think of her, is too toxic to use an example regardless.

And this thread is amply demonstrating the reason why this segment is so valuable.

SJWs are the bane of man. John Oliver deserves everything he gets.

Using the term SJW as a negative is one of those things, like a Confederate flag signature, that indicates that the person has nothing to say worth listening to.

Comparing a literal symbol of secession and figurative emblem of racism to a internet slang about overzealous bloggers is a massive hyperbole even by Atlas standards.

Shrewd point Marokai. Anita's told quite a few fibs and has conducted herself poorly in more ways than one but none of that warrants people forcing her out of her own house or getting school shooting threats. The fact that many said she had those events coming or made up conspiracy theories about them proves the point about Internet vitriol being a major problem.
