    Today let's take a look at the bizarre, drama-fueled world of Sonic For Real Justice. Launching in 2015, the blog went viral not only for it's bizarre premise but for the constant infighting and arguing among mods, and has become well-known throughout the internet as a classic Tumblr tale of drama, scandal, love, loss and betrayal. Let's dive in!

If all the fictives in a system go to hell, does everyone else in the system go to hell or is it just the fictives? If different members of a system can go to different afterlives, do they have different souls or is it one soul shared by a bunch of different people?

      Actually, they knew exactly what they were doing. Mod Shadow initially claimed to hate SJWs, but later came out against the mission of the blog, saying "I'm an SJW" which parallels Shadow's arc in SA2, from despising humanity to understanding the value of life so much that he sacrificed his own to protect it. That bit about being spacekin (which apparently means identifying as alien) is also golden because Shadow the Hedgehog _is_ part alien. Mod Shadow respected the lore.

    Part of the issue with this entire SJW/anti-SJW war Tumblr had going at the time was that no one seemed to agree about what was what. Being anti-SJW could mean anything from pretty much being a nazi to being against Tumblr's particular brand of "everything is problematic", and being an SJW could mean anything from being vaguely leftist to being a communist to being the kind of person who bullies people of the site for drawing a character in a way they disapprove of.

    I feel bad for people who got caught up in the anti-SJW craze, the term was unfortunately many people’s gateway into politics and equated terf, wokescold type leftists with anyone who believed in feminism and lgbtq rights. It turned a lot of potentially progressive minded people away from the good arguments in favor of minority rights and pushed them to believe the only alternative to unreasonable sensitivity was far right reactionary views. I’m glad the term and its stigma has faded away with time.

      I think with some people, they gotten pushed into one side through external circumstances, so you have people who blame the progressive side for radicalizing them. So like, a weird nail in a bridge moment. But otherwise, it's fascinating that I ended up with chronic skepticism instead of anything major. I questioned stuff on r/tumblrinaction and they have a dedicated question subreddit for asking questions like, "What are trans?" And stuff generally in that vein.
      I think of this ask blog as like a weird reaction to things they couldn't fully understand at the time. Weird, yet historically fascinating.

    I would like to point out that unfortunately, while Sonic For Real Justice was satire, actual anti-SJW character RP blogs were a very real thing on tumblr at that time and predated SFRJ.
    In fact, I'm pretty sure the reason for SFRJ becoming a DanganRonpa askblog for a bit is directly inspired by the fact that for some fucking reason, DanganRonpa characters and Komaeda very much in particular were VERY popular with many anti-SJWs on tumblr. The whole "Mod * character name *" thing with reaction images on each post was something you'd definitely see on an unironic anti-SJW DanganRonpa blog too.

    I actually remember when the "tucute" thing started, and the description you've got missed a few key details.
    It wasn't started by transmeds. It was started by the anti-transmeds after they realised that the term "truscum" had been reclaimed by the transmeds, and they decided they needed a term for themselves, deciding on "tucute" because it was impossible to make that an insult. It became an insult by mere association with them, because it turns out language does not define thought.

    • @arandomidiot1593
      @arandomidiot1593 2 года назад +8

    The fact that all of the mods act pretty accurately to the characters that they chose to their names not only astonishes me, but goes to show that these people cared way more about Sonic than there ask blogs. Like the shipping wars between Sonamy and Sonally are still echoing through the fandom TO THIS DAY even though Sally is mostly irrelevant at this point. I can 100% see the real Shadow coming out as Spacekin and posting himself giving the middle finger to Sonic before leaving. AND the fact that Silver is the one that gets shit on the most is also accurate to the fandom even though people have become a lot more accepting to him as a character in more recent times. I'm only half way through the video ( 15:56 ) but I'm going to predict that Knuckles and Sonic are going to get into a huge blow out with each other over some petty argument.
