Forums - Gaming Discussion - SJW: Most Abused Term Ever?

Razeak on 19 April 2017

Racist is probably the most overused word. SJW has to rank up there though.

The word has lost it's meaning because it's so overused (just like similar words like libtard, feminazi, nazi, ...).

According to some people on the internet, I'm a libtard alpha male SJW.

SJW and alpha male seems mutually exclusive to me.

The term is thrown around way too much I agree. The case in the OP reminds me of people accusing The Force Awakens of being a SJW movie because of the female and black lead characters. This kind of thinking is so backward it makes my head hurt to try to understand how someone can actually feel this way.

TFA is an SJW movie. It also does not have a black lead - just a female lead.

Sexist is probably another one.

I vote "misogynist".

I think it's to the point now that simply disagreeing with a female can earn you that label.

Could you give examples of how TFA is an SJW movie?

Sure - all the important good, new characters are non-white males. We all know that white males are evil. And it's the same thing in Rogue One. That's a lot of new characters introduced when you think about it. Were it not for the old characters, there would no white male - the Solos and Luke.

They made the female lead better than anyone else at everything. I'm pretty sure she'll be teachig Luke about the force in The Last Jedi.

SJW, cuck, beta male, marxist, feminazi... and racist, sexist, misogynist, nazi, fascist...
While there are plenty of people who fit these words, they are being used as insult toward people with one very different opinion way too much.

SJW was clearly designed to be the mirror image of "bigot".

It's supposed to a 1 word dismissal with which you stigmatize certain position without having to offer an actual rebuttal to them on the grounds that "that position upsets me so much that I just don't have to respond to it".

There's a big difference between the usage of those words in the MSM though.
