Every time I touch the social justice core community, I wish I hadn't. I can read some of it without exploding, and I have some friends from it who I can talk to without wanting to smack them, but the central community is toxic. It's not just about 101 spaces needing to be a separate thing; it's negative-sum echo chambers. Here's a recent example of someone biting me (skim post for context, search my name for my comment, the blogger's reply is two down).
What's the central community? I wasn't aware SJ had one. Certainly given the strife between its disparate elements, I'd be a little surprised if one existed.
Well-known feminist/antiracist bloggers and well-trafficked parts of tumblr are most of what I'm thinking about. There's plenty of infighting (that's what makes it negative sum); that doesn't mean it's not a category I can point at.
You know that doesn't even add up to internet-famous, right? This is not the center of anything -- just the slice of it most visible to you.
Imagine I used some other word, then. (Other slices are also visible to me, but they are less popular, and do not make me angry.)
