Says more about the person using it than the person being called one.
It's a useful signifier that that person has a lot of "interesting" ideas about race, sexuality and gender.
Nah, its meaning still roughly means "cares about LGBT people and/or women, and is therefore a miserable pussy." It exists to shame people who care about minorities and oppose sexism. So it's used mostly by nasty scum who don't respect everyone's basic human dignity.
Also see: cuck. Used to shame people who oppose racism.
Basically, anyone who uses those terms disparagingly without the excuse of honest ignorance is a human failure unfit to live in a pluralistic civilized society.
Why can't you just acknowledge the natural superiority of straight white entitled sexually frustrated neckbeard slobs?It shows that you are intellectually inferior and not worth the effort to respond. Same with PC.
Me expecting people not to be bigot is considered PC. Go figure.
They're probably thinking of the old outdated definition, which used to refer to histrionic concern trolling. It's flat out irresponsible to use the term SJW now if you're not a giant asshole, since it's been so thoroughly co-opted by giant assholes.I don't know, I've people throw this term haphazardly at a lot of different people with different ideas and even at some people who agree with them.

Same way I feel about anybody who uses a reductive pejorative term to sneeringly dismiss some imagined monolithic generalized faction of people.
If you think fighting for social justice is a bad thing, you're probably incredibly ignorant in your privilege
They're probably an idiot harbouring some despicable views.
Haven't been wrong so far.
We should rocket them into the sun.
We should catapult them into the sun.

It makes you sound like a fucking moron if you try using it as a slur.

The word is Social Justice Warrior. Someone who fights for social justice. Someone who sees the plight of different minority ethnicities, genders and sexual orientations and works fervently toward righting wrongs aimed at some of the most vulnerable and used people in society not just currently but throughout human history....And it's used by some people as a pejorative to instill shame in people who care. I consider those people either ignorant, lacking in empathy or both.
they aren't the masters of it at all, they're blatantly misinformed and have shown their hand at being kind of stupid several times, like when Ethan went all-in on CNN and then realized he dun goofed.
I used to LOVE Ethan & Hila, but their war on the media and generally being kind of ignorant has turned me off of them so badly.
Arguably worse is how these types of people have so many views about a type of person they've never met. They saw a tweet or a youtube vid of a college kid way the fuck elsewhere and now they get so mad at a boogeyman of their design that they pre-react to people who aren't even there.It's disturbing that so many people see social justice as a bad thing.
All I feel is complete and total embarrassment for the person using it. Seriously, these people look so damn lame when they write this term. Even worse are the people who actually say it in person. Seriously, nothing makes me cringe harder than the people who actually vocally say it out loud and actually mean it. Ethan and Hila from H3H3productions are generally witty and entertaining people. However, anytime one of them says "Social Justice Warrior" seriously in a video, I can't help but zone out. I'm no longer processing what they're actually saying, instead, I'm thinking "Man, these people sound really fucking stupid right now, the fact that they are unaware of that is HIGHLY concerning."
This SJW term is thrown around so commonly, it hardly means anything at all. Everyone's a damn SJW these days. You write/vocalize something progressive, and you're a damn SJW! Think Trump is acting like a complete idiot, and you're a damn SJW! Browse/post on GAF, and you're a damn SJW! The fastest way for me to stop talking someone seriously is for them to use this "insult."
Do you actually feel insulted or angered when someone uses the term "SJW?" I actually use to a couple years ago. However, these days, it just feels like a joke. It feels like a fad that should have died a couple years ago, but it's still here trucking along...likely forever at this rate.
