Social Justice Warrior was a positive term. Just like Feminist was a positive term. However both were hijacked by fringe wackjobs and now both terms carry a negative connotation. Social Justice Warriors are the reason I'm not picking cotton or tobacco, the reason I'm actually considered a person not property, and the reason I'm allowed to vote. |
You could be right although the warrior aspect causes a lot of confusion because today it is used as an extreme and the ones called SJW by today's standard are far away from those back then, most of the examples i have seen use extremes to fight others while claiming to fight against extremes if that makes any sense ;).
Feminism has mostly been a good term for myself and i do not consider most modern activist's using it as a label actual feminists.
But thanks for letting me notice as i was only aware of social justice itself being used as a positive before.
