SJ=social justice (lol allegedly). I'm talking about people like this--picking apart a show that actually tries to be diverse over bullshit reasons, then immediately going back to watching nothing but shows about white men and whining about the lack of diversity. (Not to mention the post manages to come off vaguely racist to me.)

See, I actually loved Sherlock. I don't care about how much fans are squeeing, but this particular subgroup of fans, the SJers, all decided to sit down and watch a show based on books they know are about two white guys, and then act surprised and write a buttload of meta on how much it fails--which they then pat each other on the back for--and even though it fails so hard and it just pains them, they'll keep watching. But they're the very same people who won't give non-white-guy shows a chance (Huge, Covert Affairs, Undercovers, etc), so I find their whining hard to take seriously. (Hell, I don't care if someone watches nothing but white guy shows, so long as they don't pretend to be concerned about diversity.)

But if you want to talk about social justice issues in fandom, these are the people who are controlling the conversation. (I'm pretty sure none of them will read this post; I'm not in the right circle.) And I wish they would just shut the fuck up.
