To the dudes in this thread freaking out about SJWs, saying Peggy Rayzis isn’t acting like an adult or using logic: How would you, as an employer feel, if your employee’s face was photoshopped onto something that would reflect poorly on your company? Never mind your PERSONAL opinion on Wonder Woman. Remove that idea. You wouldn’t be happy about it, right?

Furthermore, and most importantly, what if you were not asked about having your face photoshopped onto a different body, at a major speaking event? Your PERSONAL opinion of the body / superhero / whatever the hell it was isn’t relevant. How would you feel, if you were not asked, and they just did it?

Now think about being Peggy. A woman in her industry, making a major speech, only to see that her face was photoshopped without her consent, her employers were not okay with it, and she wasn’t okay with it.

They were in the wrong. Not Peggy. And she has been plenty logical about all this. They also lied — they never asked her. This has nothing to do with SJWs, this has to do with professionalism. The organizers weren’t acting like adults — THEY were acting like children, doing something without asking, and being upset when they didn’t get what they wanted. Her time, her presence, a positive response. THAT is entitlement. That’s being a child.

People who complain about SJWs on posts like this literally lack any human empathy, fail at logic so badly they’ve fallen down the logic stairs and smacked their heads all the way down, cannot even understand anyone else’s perspective that isn’t their own, and are entitled enough to think their experiences trump everyone else’s.

Your labels are tired, they are lazy, and they no longer serve you. If you complain about SJWs — especially with posts like this, which are inherently based upon ASKING someone at an event before you tamper with their image in a way that would evoke a reaction — you lack common sense, logic, and the ability to think critically and without bias.

Your analysis lacks nuance. You lack context. You lack the ability to parse information. You clearly have trouble understanding professionalism and business. You clearly fail to see the issue here. Regardless of the feminist issues — get your head away from that. And see this was blatantly wrong, what happened to her.

I am so exhausted with the gross level of entitlement on the internet. I am exhausted having to explain logic to children who scream that their logic is the #1 to rule them all. You have no idea what you are talking about.

To the dudes supporting her: thank you for not being people incapable of understanding context, logic, and words. You are fine, fine people.
