SJW -> against including Christmas in public announcements -> people taking issue with SJW. The people taking issue with the SJW are not also SJW.
And why do you have a problem with bringing attention to these things? Why are you opposed to everyone being able to see the ridiculousness of these so called social issues?
I don’t think it’s ridiculous that this woman is offended by the display. There was a time in the not-too-distant past as recent as the 50s and 60s, where this dentist could’ve been arrested for this display. I’m glad this is not the case anymore, but people certainly have a right to express their opinion about something displayed publicly. I feel like you want to have it both ways. People who are offended by people who are offended by Merry Christmas are not social justice warriors, but people who are offended by displays mocking Christianity are SJW...don’t really see the distinction, to be honest.
I only have a problem with hypocrisy, and people who think that only they can decide what people should be offended by, while they themselves are offended by other things. I feel like the term SJW, like the new stupid term virtue signaling, are just ways to feel superior and make enemies out of the people next to us, make them different than we are so we can justify hating them. It’s one big circle j**k with no winners, and the biggest loser is an ever more divided and thus weaker country.
The very fact that people are offended by SJW’s because SJW’s are offended by other things just shows the absurdity of where we are.

You clearly are adding your own interpretation to what happened. First, there is no mention anywhere that the crazed lady was against the display because it mocked Christianity. She said "it was disgusting" meaning she did not like the sexy look of the manniquins. This was just her prudish taste. No religion involved here. If this display was put up any other time, she'd be just as upset.

If you have a problem with people having issues with SJW or even using the term SJW, then you should take up the issue with the actual SJW's. There wouldn't be a problem if they did not exist. However, since they do exist and they have become a big and influential part of our culture now, I think it is ridiculous for you to then not like it when people do refer to them as SJW's.
The problem is that because the term is now synonymous with over the top, crazed liberals (also another moniker that has a negative connotation to it), the Leftists feel offended by its use.

I also do not think you know this woman is motivation only by her saying it was disgusting. She could have found a disgusting on a multitude of levels including religious. And any case she had no right to go onto his property, but I’m not going to judge her for being offended by it.

I’m not offended by it, I just think the way it’s being used is nonsensical and has nothing to do with social justice. Now anyone who is liberal who is offended by anything is an SJW (and even some conservatives now as in this case). And a multitude of threads are being started by people who are offended by a liberal being offended by something else. Can you really not see the idiocy in that? Is this making our country better in your opinion? Or is it a giant energy wasting distraction that only brings us further from what our common goals should be? For me it’s the latter.
By the way, the places where that dentist would’ve been most likely to have been arrested, are conservative areas not liberal ones. Offense does not belong to only one political group. Further, if all liberals fit the narrative you have swallowed, wouldn’t I be on the dentist’s side? Isn’t he the one mocking conservative moral values?
She’s also not the only neighbor who was offended by it.
“...some of his neighbors see this particular tribute as a little too sexy for Jesus's resurrection observance.”
So then the people who are upset that people don’t say merry Christmas anymore, are also SJW? Just doing a hypocrisy check if the answer is yes then that’s fine. I don’t actually understand the connection between being offended and campaigning for social justice. A lot of people who complain about being offended by things don’t care about social justice at all.
I do find it funny though how many threads are being started by people who are offended by people who are offended....
lol THIS.
I don't support destroying something on someone's property but this was a disgusting display. I wouldn't want this creep as my dentist.
It isn't even about disrespect to the religious holiday for me, it's just odd and disgusting that he put female mannequins in wigs dressed in lingerie on his front lawn as some kind of Easter-inspired (playboy "bunny," hahaha get it, and throws some eggs in there too ) homage to Hugh Hefner. Weirdo pervert. As a woman, I don't want to go anywhere near this guy.
Someone who doesn't support this display isn't a prude. This display disrespects both the holiday/religion and women. But I don't expect many men to understand the latter. He is objectifying women.

Let's see...noisy and polluting leaf blowers and mowers that occurs daily from morning to dusk (a very common complaint by many people actually) versus a harmless Easter display.
Yeah, totally the same thing.

I think the difference between what is serious and what is not is pretty obvious.
You're right. It's not the same thing at all. Your over the top, crazed LBJW rage is much more ridiculous. I don't think this forum needs any lectures from you about "the difference between what is serious and what is not".
And you actually don't have to listen to the noisy leaf blowers. Find creative ways to deal with your rage. You can passive-aggressively put a speaker on the window sill and blast thrash metal, not only to drown out the noise of the leaf blowers, but also as a giant FU to the entire neighborhood and then get a complaining neighbor lady knocking on your door, like I did a couple weeks ago.
As for pollution, this is Fake News. There's no pollution. (Wink, wink.) Stop virtue signalling about the environment. Dirty hippie.

SAY SJW AGAIN
No one is "offended" by the term "SJW". Other than being offended by the sheer stupidity of it. I mean, it sounds like you have MAGA Tourette's. How about try communicating an independent thought without parroting rhetoric and nonsense catch phrase words you've been spoon fed?
This particular snippet of your post is particularly amusing:

YOU are clearly adding YOUR own interpretation to what happened. You are trying to state as fact, what this crazed lady was thinking, and what she would have thought in a hypothetical scenario. You can read minds? Are you psychic? Are you Theresa Caputo, the Long Island Medium?
You perceive this woman to be a "SJW", so you dismiss her reaction to this "harmless Easter display", which, even according to the dentist, was not, in fact, an "Easter display", but a tribute to Hugh Hefner whose birthday is in April.
Just curious...are the people posting comments on the dentist's public Facebook page, about being offended that Dr. Mannequin Lover DDS desecrated/mocked Easter by decorating his celebration of porn with Easter trimmings, also SJWs?
These men here with their comments...also "SJWs" and "prudes"?
Quote:
"Seems to have a flare for dressing up mannequins...Mannequins on the front lawn? Imagine whats inside his house? Very creepy,, Wouldn't let my daughter near his office..
if he did this & and mocked Islam he'd be in jail for a hate crime...and there would be riots in the streets"
Quote:
"Would you want this guy sedating your Daughter...or Wife??"
^^Can we poo poo these guys' disgust as well??
And what about the people making comments like these:
Quote:
"No matter how good of a dentist he is, he was disrespectful with his display which mocks on a very important day for people of certain faiths. It's bad enough that society has commercialized it, but now a local dentist SEXUALIZES it!!!! Me and my family will never know how good of a dentist he really is unless he chooses to publicly appologize for doing something he would HAVE to know would offend a particular group of people. smh I understand the frustration of the woman who destroyed the display but do NOT agree with how she went about trying to remedy the situation."
Quote:
"Your Easter display is mocking catholic religion and is in poor taste 1 block away from 2 elementary schools. I hope you lose customers because you have no respect for women or anyone religion. Would never go to you ."
Quote:
"Dear Dr. Gangi, while the sexy play boy display may amuse grown men in a private party situation, there are several reasons why it is not appropriate in public. The first is voiced by the woman who found it inappropriate for her son. It promotes sexuality as "normal and worth celebrating". Secondly, it debases the most holy holiday of Christians. Easter for those who go to church is about Christ's death and resurrection. How about a family of mannequin's dressed in normal clothes collecting Easter eggs? That would make everyone happy."
"Gangi said the idea for a sexy display began when an 85-year-old dental patient asked, 'Get the girls out. Why are they in your basement? Dress them up again.' "
"The dentist said he buys the mannequins on websites like Amazon and eBay and pays between $500 to $1,000 each."
This Gangi character is kind of creepy. He not only buys mannequins on Amazon and eBay...think about it...he also buys fishnet stockings, an assortment of different kinds of hosiery, dresses and lingerie for them. He spends time picking out and purchasing outfits for his life size dolls.
'Get the girls out. Why are they in your basement? Dress them up again.'
This gives me "It puts the lotion in the basket..." vibes.
I look forward to hearing about him on a true crime podcast. It wouldn't be the first creepy dentist story. I hope it's on True Crime Garage. They did a great job with another famous NJ case (Jeannette DePalma). I would like to hear those guys mispronounce NJ town names some more. MAN a LAP in (Manalapan). BAY ahn (Bayonne).
But maybe I should not kink shame this mannequin loving dentist. Whatever tickles his pickle. Or his bicuspid. Whatever fills his dry sockets.
And maybe the mannequins come alive at night. Oh god, I hope this guy is the receptionist at the offices of Wayne Gangi DDS:
If this is true, I'll start going to church again.

Thank you for reinforcing my earlier impulse that "antinimby" was worthy of being added to my IGNORE list.

You are against people creating threads or even mentioning SJW instead of actually blaming the SJW. The reason why you hear so much about SJW is because they've gotten out of hand. By bringing attention to them, people can see for themselves how truly insane they are.
Like I said, this lady MAY not be a SJW, but the way SJW's have created a culture of outrage and acting out on it, it becomes now acceptable behavior and everyone thinks they can too.
There were also other neighbors who didn't think the display was offensive and thought she was wrong to destroy someone's property. So there's that.
